SOME MOB-CODDLING
 BY CONGRESSMEN

The authorities forget there are about thirty million workers in this country and only about 100000 members of the Labor Trust and that most of them are eoereed into mem bership.
 How can the authorities answer to the vast army Of 2S million free workers, farmers and householders whose affairs are from time to time interfered with and who have to bear the loss of wages and the gen eral heavy loss of stopped industries brought about by the leaders of the Labor Trust in their manipulation of men seeking to drive them into fec paying slavery?
 The 2s.O00 600 workers, not mem bers of the trust, object to being driven from work. or having R. R. trains stopped with all the far-reach- ing losses or the street cars stopped and men and women prevented from getting to and from work, or fac tories struck and perhaps destroyed the weekly pay roil stopped and the sustenance of at least part and per haps all of a community withdrawn.
 The great Philadelphia street car strike was forced by the big Labor Trust not on account of wages and hours but to throw out about 40J0 men who had their own union a peaceable one.
 These men did not want to pay i fees to the trust leaders and be subject to their whims' so they i formed their own union for self pro tection. Thereupon the big trust
 called a strike blew up and burned
 cars, attacked and slaughtered men
 kept people from getting to and from ] work, forced their other slaves tC | quit work and cost the people oi
 Philadelphia several million dollars
 and untold suffering and inconveni
 ence solely for the purpose of show
 ing'' them the power of the Labor Trust to force" people 10 ''mind' and force these Independent meI
 to join the trust. obey and peI fees to the leaders.
 That is a serious state of affairs il ] this free country and Is enough t i awaken every American to the neees i sity of curbing such men in thei
 insane race for notoriety, power ant
 fee gathering.
 Citizens want industry commercI and wages to continue without inter
 ference from any set of men eithe employers or employees who seel selfish gain to themselves alone, with out regard to how much all tn , people outside the trust may be ir convenienced and damaged.
 The trust leaders. to make stronge
 their control of members. fight val iantly to ruin all free citizens ciihe employers or workmen who do DO pay fees to the trust leaders
 Therefore when this s200. .00010 ar propriation bill came up they deluge Congress with demands to excmp combinations of .abor from prosecJ
 ton if they broke the law and, star ling as 1t may seem over Q hundre Congressmen voted to so exemr . them. In other words voted to pei 2 nit one set of men to break tn law and dominate tho great maiorit 5 of citizens. while the majority mus keep the law and submit to the dan n age, losses, insolence and idIenes c put upon them by the comparativel
 small band of trust members
 Why were these Cangressme e cowards?" you ask. Because tn
 trust managers sent word 10 the l local managers in all parts of th P country instructing them to fire }, letters and telegrams 10 Congressme d whenever a bill to give the trm l- more power is introduced.
 l- The great mass of citizens who al n to be tyraunized over have no orga 'r izati0n to warn them to notify Co y gTessmen Of their wishes and so q
 heavy fire comes from but one sl, r (the Labor Trust side) and thus il sl presses the members Of Congress wi st the belief that the whole mass st laboring men are crying for exam
 ton from punishment for law-brea
