each morning! It's meat and bread to
their souls.
Then think of the lordly power and
don't forget the steady flow of money
squeezed from the workman's hard
earned pay envelope.
But when these leaders "tie up any
industry no man can hold a job who
refuses to pay fines even on trumped
up charges. and steadily pay fees.
whatever they are.
The workman is absolutely at the
mercy of this band of men who have
secured and hold control,
Many and many an honest workma n
has raised his voice and appealed to
his fellows to rise and throw off the
yoke of Gompers, ct al But. as one
writes, eat every convention of the
American Federation of Labor strong
opposition comes up. but at the critical
moment the impassioned orator ap-
pears and most dramatically puts the
spotlight on the leader and covers him
with a mawkish film of 'martyrdom'
and the emotional delegates yell in
delight, forgetting the instructions of
the peaceful workingmen at home who
desire to free themselves from the
odium of membership under the great
advocates of strike, boycott, violence
and hate"
So we see the unequaled insolence
with which these trust leaders propose
to induce" ministers to pull their
chestnuts from the fire by preaching
modern aggressive and violent labor
trust methods.
There Is a better way to secure JUS
tice for workers, as will appear fur
ther along.
Just a little diversion here.
am charged with having first
brought to the attention of the public
some years ago the name Labor
Trust"
A trust is a combina tion of men or
organizations for the purpose of SELL
ing their product at a profit and re-
stricting production to effect it.
We will say large oil company
gathers in smaller ones and thus con-
trolls production.
The Labor Trust gathers in local
trade organizations and thus has
power to say how much work each
man shall do.
The oil company then fixes prices.
The Labor Trust does likewise.
The oil company may use methods
to force an unwilling dealer to join.
The Labor Trust men go further and
slug the independent man IL he tries to
sell his labor without paying fees and
"obeying orders" They are both exact
ly alike in purpose. which. in both
cases is entirely selfish to gain power
and money for the leaders.
Certain Labor Trust members do not
hesitate to use violence. dyns miting
of property. burning homes of inde-
pendent men and even murder to force
obedience.
The oil company doesn't go so far.
Both are extremely dangerous to the
welfare of people and communities, for
power placed in the hands OF few
men, either representing capital or
labor, is almost always abused and the
public suffers.
Remember, reader. that your safety
lies in strenuous opposition to all
trusts which try to ride over and die
tate to the people.
