s'Mr. Gary contributes by stating that
 union dominance keeps the man or
 woman. that refuse if walking the
 streets, and the family suffers thereby.
 This might be true of the refractory
 member, just the same way that the employers do 1t if a member becomes refractory he Is punished by his er1f- ployerS' association by business methods that if pursued i'll labor unions that the officials that perpetrated such would be cited into court and severely dealt with. But the nlone- power of business stops such actions against employers when they use the very methods that MT. Gary charges the labor unions with
 "Mr. Gary states about members of unions being forced out of work be- cause they have done or did something against their union. We'll, this can be answered in this way: The employers of the country have blacklist system. that has got union domination beaten at the start If a man or woman sees fit to better him or herself, and at tempts to go to another employer III search of work, he or she is confronted with this blacklist system that tabulates the height, weight, color of person, col or of eyes, color of hair, habits and the most minute details of the human, and the chances of changing employment under this nefarious system is against the employee at the start.
 Employers of the country, from evi- dence, buy up courts, legislatures, and in fact businesses, III order to forbid any activity upon the part of human to prosper, and attempt to better their conditions, and then in their desperate moments they attempt to deceive the people of country by putting out such statements as are credited to labor union activities as are now printed and contributed by MT. Gary.
 "The fact that labor unions through organizations have done so much for the wage earners and have so firmly established their worth in the war just ended has got the employer of the na- ton smarting under the defeat of his propaganda, that associations and 1n- dividua1 employers will not stop at any procedure that will discredit the wage earner that has union labor afiliation. But remember, that 1t is an old saying and quite applicable now, that the more labor union is assailed and plucked fhe quicker and better will they grow.
 "The new day is with us and the soon CT that MT. Gary and his employer associates of the country realize that wage earners are going to organize and will defend their organizations against him and others, against their activities of dissension, and the object for which the United States entered the war will be used to further this. defense, which was that combination denies oppression, and that if there Is anything that MT. Gary has to charge against the labor unions that he had better take stock and see if the ills of which he complains are not attributable to him and his com binatiOns, and that instead of dominance III industry the labor unions of the country are trying to have the wage earner get wage and a condition that will insure to them and their families a better home, better education, and better living conditions so that the ex- trefne line of demarkation will be dis continued ard that his and other great country hon.es and city homes and fleets of motor cars will be distributed in way that will forbid wage earner from having to house his or her~family in tenemt house with its evils of ven ti1atior and crowded conditions, and l that the employer of the country will uaingle with his wage earners, instead | of sitting and chatting and directing | from a sumptuous suite of offices, at tended by servants and his employees l working hundreds of miles away under 1 conditions that swine would resent
