LABOR'S RIGHT TO IMMUNITY
 UNDER THE ANTITRUST LAW
Clear And Concise Statement By The
 Noted Indiana Statesman, Hon. x. Finley Gray

'sAnr Chairman, there was the time when the laboring man was more m dependent in the exercise of this right to labor to live than he is today. There was a time when every man could say to his employer, If you do not wish my service, I will go back to the cross roads, to the village workshop, and I will make blow, a wagon. or a carriage. will employ myself and I will sell my product for my wages But this condition of the laboring man has passed and gone. A great industrial revolution has brought Q. change and a new order of things. The la!boring man as an indi- vidual has lost. his opportunity to eun- ploy himself, his power to claim his right to labor to live. He can only work when others choose to- employ him. And. when he asks for employ ment the answer comes back and tells him whether or not he can live. The laboring man today finds himself con fronted with an organization of ean- ployerS, he finds himself confronted with a, combination of capital; he finds himself confronted with a. con centration Of industry and control of employment-an standing between him and the right to labor to live and to support those dependent upon him.
 This is the plight of the individual laiboring man today. This is his utter helplessneas as a single individual
 fsU61der these new and changed con ditiozas union Is his only remedy, his only relief, his only defense, his only hope. He must have the right to meet organization with organization. He must have the right to meet com binatton with combination. He must have the right to meet concentration with concentration.
 There is a difference between 2 la bor organization and a.. trust There is a. difference between a, labor organ ization and a combination in restraint of trade. There is a. difference be- tween a labor organization and a monopoly of the resources of human life. There is a, difference between an organization for a. lawful, natural purpose, and an organization for an unlawful and a, criminal purpose There is a difference between an or ganizat1on to preserve and safeguard natural inherent rights and an organ izat1on to monopo1ize and prey upon the vital necessities that sustain hu- man life There is a. difference be- tween men organizing for the lawful purpose of securing employment and to claim the right Of all mon to la bor, to live, and to enjoy the fruits of that labor, and men organizing as a trust, a. combination in restraint of trade a. monopoly to control the vital resources of human life, the very in ception of which is unlawful, the very continuance and duration of which are q1ulawfIll, and the very object and purpose of which is contrary to law and in violation of the natural inner ent right of man to live.'' /.

TF1EN...... and. NOW

To-day Liberty Bell lies in state in the State House in Philadelphia where its first clarion peal of liberty rang out. It is one of the nations nose revered relics and every year thousands of pilgrims from all parts of the country visit this shrine. Be- fore 1t was placed in its present glass case one might often see distinguish ed men, women and patriotic school children put out their hands to touch the sacred relic. It was with stnn1- visited it, and after gazing at it for some moments earnestly exclaimed: '4I would love to just lay my, hand upon the beII!'' His wish was read fly granted, the guide having the case opened. for the distinguished visitor. Six times has the venerable bell been carried to distant cities to take part in anniversaries and exhibitions. Ninety thousand school children sue cessfuIIy appealed to the governor of Pennsylvania to have it sent to. the St. Louis Exposition During the annf- Versary of the Battle of Bunker Hill it was escorted through the streets of Boston by the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, itself relic of the Revolutionary times. It was adorI'- ed with wreaths, and the spectators, many Of them being women, kissed it's brazen sides with reverence It has journeyed to the South three times, to New Orleans, Atlanta and Charleston. Two months ago 1t was reported that the crack in the bell is gradually becoming larger, and spe- cial precautions have been taken to preserve the bell for the future gen. erations.

Sevemty-nine years ago to-day the Liberty Bell toA1ed for the last time On that day it was proclaiIning the nations grief over the death of Chief Justice John Marshall whose body was being taken from Philadelphia to it's final resting place in Virginia Suddenly, the tone of the bell chang ed, became muff1ed as with grief. The bell-ringer hurried to the tower Of the State House He foFInd a great crack in the side of the bell In the circumstance many pro6essed to see fitting climax to one of the most important epOchs in the nations hfs- tory. Fffty-nine> years before the bell had rung out the glad tddings that the Declaration of Independence had been signed and adopted-this day its tongue forever became silent during the funeral services of Chief Justice MarshalI, the last of the Sfgners of the Declaration and the last of George Washington's associates. Made in England at the order and ex- pense of the Colony of Pennsylvania, it was brought to Philadelphia in 175S where it was given it's first test for tone. The first blow of the clap per made wide crack in the bell. A Philadelphia firm offered to recast it and rather .tIlan wait for its return from England the Colonists turned it oyer to them. The foundrymen thought to increase the sweetness of its tone by increasing the proportion of copper, but they desadened the tone so that 1t could hardly be heard. Again the bell was recast and it prov ing successful this time 1t was hung in the State House steeple where for the following eighty-two years its tongue heralded every important national event.

 Washington, July S--F'inley Gray of Indiana is one of the clearest think CTS in the American Congress. Phys icaIly he is tall and gaunt and old fashioned, and as he sits among the modern, present day type Of states men on the floor of the House, he is a character study that will attract your attention. One can hardly help imagining that he has just stepped out of an American Congress of 100 years ago.
 strange and unusual man, a genius in every sense of the word. He usually keeps his own counsel, eRd he has h1s peculiarities, one of which is that the burdens of the masses of the people lay heavily upon his heart When he speaks, he speaks as one inspired, and his remarks in the Record the following morning are literature.
 I know Finley Gray, and consider him one of the most sincere and gift ed friends the plain people have in public life today.
 When the proposition to make labor unions immune from prosecution un- der the antitrust law was being de- bated, Finley Gray sat listening to the arguments being advanced by va rtous members as to why the meas ure should be enacted into law. Gray lfSIenGd cdTGIuI1Y to every A01lPldbIfS1LAOn offered Finally he turned to mem Der at his side, and said: Labor unions should be excluded. But the real Justification for the proposition has not been stated. In justice fo myself, I must state the reasons why I intend to support the measure.
 Gray had not intended to speak when he entered the chamber. but as he had sat quietly listening. he@ had been deeply moved. He arose. and his language and philosophy held the close attention of everyone wdthin the hearing Of his voice.
 ssNTr. Chairman, 2 said Gray, there are certain rights which men take along with the right to dnhabit the earth. Among those rights is the right to labor and to enjoy the fruits of that labor. This is, more than a so- called vested right in property; 1t is a natural, inherent right of man. It lis as sacred to him as the right of habitation itself. It is as vital To his existence as the breath of life. He must have the right to labor in order to live.
 And there are certain rights in which man is upheld in a supreme and absolute defense, and in the de- fense Of which he is sustained even to the taking Of Hfe-tlae defanse of self, the defense of his person. the de- fense of his life the defense o6 those who by nature are entitled to look to him for protection, and include the defense of the right to labor in order to live and to support those who are dependent upon him
