THE MOONEY SENTENCE.

Suppose for an instant that aire. Suppose against him as mil lionaire had been framed the per jured testimony that resulted in the present status of this man. Suppose that these developments revealed to shocked public the fact that this multi-millionaire had been sentenced to be hung upon testimony faked and manufactured. Suppose that the Trial Judge in the instance of the millionaire had been so appalled, by the awful miscalri- age of justice should sentence be carried out and had appealed to the Attorney General to ask the su- preme court to direct a new trial. Suppose all these things in the case of a millionaire as in the case ot Mooney the labor unionist-How long would it be before such a re- quest would be preferred and such trial granted, and such million aire completely eXonerated anG every corrupt and crooked official placed where be belongs
 But you cannot suppose any ot these things which are possible ill the case of plain Mooney the labor ite as being possible in the case say of John D. Rockefeller or the like. No person can. But every person will indefatigably talk and persist in orating upon the equal ity of all before the law. There is tremendous lot of people believe the theory that is seldom realized in practice.

ORGANIZATION.

Men will be heard to say that or ganization does no good-that It achieves nothing. Just a minute please-why then is it that so many employers will do anything in the world rather than See the un- ions in control? In what other way can it be explained than that the employers fear that union job con trol means that they will be com pelled to afford the workers better conditions, better pay and better everything.
 So plain is this fact that the wonder is that the workers them selves should persistently ignore it, The employer knows that without organization of employers their business cannot thrive as it will thrive with it. The various consol- idations.- amalgamations business associations, everything show tha- that the employers as class are fully alive to the vital need of orga nization. And they are just as vi- tally opposed to the organization of workers where they fear that or ganization will be followed by a working class strength which would be irresistible. It is for that reason fear of the power results from or ganization, employers of labor in so many places place themselves like adamant against any idea of labor solidarity as eXemplified by labor organization.
