cause of any disagreement between
representatives of said classes COM
posing only about onefifth OF our
population, and no legal right to do
SO should exist. And we demand that
such wholesome laws be enacted and
enforced as will make such condi-
tions impossible.
18th. We look with apprehension
and alarm upon all tendency toward
monopolistic control Of the necessi-
ties Of life, and especially toward the
control Of food supplies by the pack
ers, and we call upon the Congress
and the state legislatures to make
monopoly impossible and to provide
a much more rigid and effective SUI
pervision and control than the coun
try has yet known.
18th. We respectfully remind those
who constantly seek higher prices for
labor and commodities and especially
remind the Congress and the state
legislature that the great mass Of
citizens composing the professional
men, the small business men, and the
salaried men Gas distinguished from
the wage-earners) are receiving but
little more and often no more today
for their services than before the war
bYegan, Notwithstanding the cost Of

demand that this loyal class Of citi-

profiteer on the one hand and or
ganized labor on the other.
18th. We believe that the condi-
ton herein referred to now existing
in our country are susceptible of eff
fective correction. 1t cannot be done
by political traders or those who play
to the galleries. 1t is a work for
statesmen.
9TH. That we call upon the peo-
PIE of other communities and of other
states who are innocently bearing the
burdens and hardships caused by the
friction between capital and labor to
form similar organizations TO rtheir
own protection and for the security
of our nation.

Suggests That Organized Labor Take
Thought to Itself and Seek
Middle Ground

Bradentown, July 2S.-What may
.nrove to be non-partisan political
marty of statewide force, was sarted
IN Bradentown Friday night. A group
Of leading citizens met to protest
against the present labor unrest. the
alleged monopoly of food supplies
and the possibility Of politicians at
tempting to ride into Office by array
ing class against class. An organi-
cation to be called the Liberty Coun-
Gil, was formed and energetic steps
taken to secure the formation of SIM
liar councils all over the state, it was
said.
A set of resolutions, drawn by
Judge o. X. Reaves, Of this judicial
circuie; Charles T. Curry and E. P.
Green, were presented end adopted
unanimously.
While most of the speakers confined
themselves to general statements. GER
tain things were very plain. The
meeting opposed the tactics of Gov
ernor Cats in attempting to ride the
waves of class hatred into the Sen
ate as he did into the state house.
The idea was expressed chat having
used religious prejudice to secure the
governorship, Mr.. Cats is now at
tempting to use labor to secure the
toys.
The meeting took definite stand
on the phosphate strike, the senti-
ment being in favor of speedy arbi-
tration and opposed to the methods
Of the striking laborers. The five
great meat packers also came in for
g scoring at the hands Of the various
speakers.
Judge Reaves Heads Movement
The formation Of the Liberty Coun-
Gil was first advocated by Judge
Reaves Tuesday night at the final
meeting of the Manatee County Lib
erty Loan Committee. At that time
about thirty-five of the leading citl-
zens of the whole county expressed
alarm at the state of the country.
Judge Reaves said:
"I am not opposed to organized la.

ana oppressed labor. Now labor has
organized and is expressing the oppo-
sltlon. The main trouble Is we the
professional, and small businessmen
ana farmers and our families who
comprise possibly aighty-fve per
cent OF the people of this country are
allowing ourselves to be ground be-
tween the upper and neither mill
stones. A quarrel, which is none of
ours, pours out its full harm on us.
1t is time We organize and take g.
hand in this matter ourselves.
A copy of the resolution has been
sent to all the state papers, the rep-
resentatives of the district at Wash
lngton, the Manufacturers Record Of
Baltimore, and other publications.
A large membership has been
formed with the idea of enrolling a
large membership throughout the
country. The original gathering in
cluded two bankers, one being John
I. Campbell, of the First National
Bank; five doctors, three merchants.
one investor, preacher, an insurance
man. three lawyers, two real estate
dealers, Judge, a printer, a hotel
man a newspaperman, a farmer. a
cattleman. lumberman. jeweler
and a fertilizer man.
The resolutions adopted are as flo
lows:
Whereas, since the conclusion Of
the great world war many political
and economic problems Of great and
vital Importance are pressing them
selves upon us, which questions can
not be avoided. but must be faced
and solved in order to maintain our
national prestige and preserve the
unity and peace of our people; and
Whereas, we are now about to
enter upon a national and state po-
litical campaign in which appeals
will be made by the various candi-
dates for our support; and
Whereas, the welfare Of our coun-
try and our state ought to be, and is
in rur estimation, Of paramount i'm
pCrtance; and.
Whereas, we regret the prevail
ence of disagreeme1ts between en-
ployers and employed in the great
industries of our country, especially
in the arteries of commerce on which
we are all dependent, and look with
growing alarm upon uncurbed mo-
noplistic tendencies;
"Now therefore, be it resolved by
this the Liberty Council of Manatee
county, Florida:
"1st. That we urge speedy and per-
manent settlements of all questions
between the employers and employed
based upon the principles of justice
and unselfishness.
ed. We oppose and denounce any
politician or candidate for office who
may attempt to ride into public favor
