The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1910-07-19

II settlements cannot be made, the
case goes to carefully selected
board OF mediation. When the fac..
are brought out In friendly conference
settlement is reached In great ma
jority of cases. II not, the fac.s on
both sides are given the local press
and thus the citizens OF the communi-
ty become entirely conyersant with
the matter and public opinion steps
In.
It's hard for either side to stand for
a wrong, with the great weight OF
public opinion opposed.
Up to the time of the mediation
proceeding the men keep at work and
the flow of money through the com
munity Is continued. II, thereafter,
they feel they can do better else.
where. the have right to withdraw
per cent OF the men each day and
go TO job better liked but they make
no objection to the employer putting
new men In the places they leave. II
seldom comes to that
The practical working OF the pla1
shows the industries 80 on and the
employer holds his time.tred mon 70
him on any reasonable terms and they
and he are friends working together.
whereas II they settled by the club
and force, hate would invariably iol-
low, greatly to the detrlment OF the
industry and the men personally.
The Trades and Workers Assn Is
growing rapidly among some of t.c
best workmen In America.
II marks new epoch. Let work
men write the Trades and Workers
ASSN OF Battle Creek, Mich, for q
constitution and bylaws and study
the new peace movement
Practically all real workers dislike
to have their negotiations conducted
by strikes, violence, hate and general
disturbance, but the noisy ones have
gained control OF the big Labor trust
and they forco the peaceful ones, and
by such methods have brought much
odium on the name OF Labor
A better day IN coming, A day Jf
peace and steady prosperity for tho
workers, but II will be delayed by
cowardly Congressman II they nJs
takenly vote to put more power IN the
hands OF the trust leaders and mako
them immune from prosecution when
they boycott, slug, burn and dynamite,
using such means TO nod workmen IN
their power to extract monthly fees
from them and to force the rest OF
humanity to "obey" them or take the
consequences. II Is high time tho
people we're protected BY thu strong
arm of the law.
Reader II you want TO retain your
freedom talk plainly to your Congress
men and Legislators. Remember the
high priests of the Labor Trust are
always busy bounding Congressman
| to pass new laws to protect them In
their attacks on workmen and citi-
zens.
DO your duty and compel your rep
resentatIyes to protect you. II they
don't respond. see you are al the polls
and cast vote for the man who hls
first agreed to stand by the majority
and give exemption" and special
privilege to no tight and snug COM
bnation Of either Labor or Capital.
Guard your sacred personal liberty
actively and at all times. FOR the inter
ests which would like to harness you
are busy day In and day out.
Permit no set OF men TO gain power
to force you to buy only what they
order, hire only those men they name,
also to order when YOU can work,
where. for whom. at what wages and
how long.
4 Fail In watchfnlness and you will
drift into humIliating servlIity from
which It win be difficult to free your
self.
This Is time when Individual lib
erty Is being attacked.
Guard yours as you would your soul
There's Reason.
