TO be Senator only as IL was the VIII OF
the people; others have sought II against
the will OF the people - A.. oao.
Sumner truly believed that the oince
should seek the man-and not the man tne
Office. He had no political macnlne, anu
he could not call upon the prlVneseu ~
terests 10 advance his personal ampltoh,
for ne had never served those interests.
His only service was for the people.
What a contrast TO the tine-serVlnS sen,
ators Of the present day, who have caused
that great assembly the Senate OF the
United States, to be termed the CLOAK
room of the privileged interests. Would
that we had more Summers to-day, Tor

weeks issue OF his weekly, under
the caption of .'Taft's Protest, is
found the following:
| President Taft protests against
permitting the railway mail clerks
TO organize and affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor.
Speaking before the convention OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men. atHarrisburg, Pa, May IA, he
said:
II do not think that reasonable
minded trades union men, who are
fully alive to the necessity for rig
orous means to ENFORCE rights in
their controversies with capital and
with their employers, will fail to
see the broad difference that exists
between their case, in which they
are contending for the betterment of
their employers. and that OF the
CLASS OF government employees who
are privileged not only in the
amount of their compensation, the
less number of hours of their en-
ployment and the greater permanent
cy or tenure, and who serve the gov
eminent of all the people, the very
existence of which wrll be threaten
ed. should they combine together to
once, and paralyZe the benefit, and
the equal benefits, that the govern
ment is properly supposed and held
10 confer upon the people at large"
Senator La Toilette then makes
this comment:
But are all government employ
ees a privileged class? More par
ticularly the railway mail clerks,
whose efforts to escape oppression
inspired the presidents protest =
are they privileged class? We
think not. When employees of the
government are subjected to such
treatment as that handed to the men
who work in the mail cars. it is
time for something more adequate
than softly spoken words. AS long
as we have our Hitchcocks, as long
as we have our vicious and auto
cratic gag rule. as long as en-
pioYes OF the whole people are made
victims of political bureaucracy-
plain justice demands that there be
no distinction between public en-
nloyes of individuals or corpora
tions. ORGANIZATIONS is their only
present refuge. 1t should not be
closed to them"
