The party said t the woman wore glasses.

The Colchester man then loosened up to the extent of telling thes cap- tain who he was and said, “Why, cap- tain, you know me all right,” but the capfain could not recall him. The Colchester man seemed to be much exercised because Captain Richmond would not proceed and do as requested No other informa- tion was forthcoming wegarding the man and woman in-the case. It is not known for what reason that the man in Colchester styling himself as a Mr. Chapman desired to have the parties detained. In all probability it may by an elopement case or something simi- Iar. 5 The police are harrassed almost dai- Iy with_just such complaints that are not made through the proper channels and consequently cannot act, in many cases. Captain Richmond told the par- ty telephoning that he would be glad to accommodate him if it was within his province. He explained how the be made and what method should be pursued if the man desired the arrests made. Fans Going to Meriden Today. A number of the real rabid fans are planning to accompany the Colts to Meriden today to witness the game be- tween the team representing that city and the mayor's outfit that is sure playing fine ball at present.

The continued case of Mrs. Sarah Lieberman, charged with assault upon Mrs. Wolf Rosen, and breach of the peace, that was tried Monday morn- and P ing in police court, resulted in a mere talkfest, and proved to be a rather tame affair, Several witnesses were for the state that indicated that one woman was about as much to blame in the fracas as the other. After a conference between Prose- cuting Attorney E. Frank Bungbee and Attorney T. J. Kelley, who appeared for Mrs. Lieberman, 'a motion was made to the effect that the case be nolled and Judse James A. Shea did s0, after the women in the case had eniphatically promised to keep the peace in the Wecinity of Bank street in so far as they themselves were concerned. S As near as can be learned, the dif- ferences between the women were caused by Mrs. Rosen upsetting a baby carriage containing one of the Lieber- man youngsters. A little life was ,injected Into the trial_when Sam Ballon, a witness. admitted on the stand that he did not dare to separate the women for fear of being handed a blow in_the hand to hand encounter. Attorney Kel- ley suggested to the witness that he might be afraid to testify and there- fore said that there was nothing fur- ther wanted from him. The entire time of the court was consumed with the case all the morn- ing and there was a goodly number of sympathizing friends of both women in the spectators’ gallery. Mrs. Bertha I Potter, aged 33, died Ménday morning in a local hospital, following a six vears' illness with chronic nephritis. She had been re- ceiving treatment at the hospital about a week.

Manager E. E. Clark of the Tri- A measure to protect the people was butchered by cowardly Congress- men saved by a brave President to whom honor is due for his protec- tion. $200,000.00 was to be appropriated for usz by the Dept. of Justice in pros- ecuting offenders against the Sherman Anti-Trust law, which is intended to protect men at work, whether they be working with hands, heads, or both. Protect them from “combinations and conspiracies in restraint of trade.” That combinations of men conspire to prevent other men from earning a living. and means who Two or three large ofl companies might “combine and conspire” to freeze out a small dealer. He has a right to conduct a busi- ness and carn a living for his family nd should have protection from “com- binations” which “conspire” to ruin him, If also applies to “combinations” of workmen who “conspire” to drive other workmen from work. The great “Labor Trust” have been seized by certain men who now have control. They force every member to pay fees which agsregate several hundred thousand dollars a year. They intend that no men who refuse to pay fees to them shall work. Whenever independent men or those who form their own union seek to work, the big trust orders strikes on the jobs, to force the independent men or independent union men out of work until they join the big trust and pay fees to the leaders. One illustration will suffice On June 22nd, 1910, the N. Y. Build- ing Trades Council (part of the Labor Trust) declared a strike of all trades on a 12-story building at 35th and 6th Ave, because of the employment of members of the -Electrical union, not members of the trust. Work on the entire building was stopped. The Sec’y of the “trust general strikes would be .ordered on building where the “obnoxious electricians” are employed. These electricians helong 14 that every to a union formad under the afbitration plan some time ago and kept thelr jobs. The employers afterward contracted, under pressure, with the big trust and were told to and did order the independent union to join the Labor Trust. The men refused because they did mnot like the trust methods of coercion, bullying, slugging and general violence. This is only one illustration of hun- dreds of cases where the trust spires in restraint of trade. That is, by combination they con- spire to and do stop work, interfere with_industry, and prevent men from earning a living unless they pay fees Mob-Coddling by Congressmen 50 many men or blown up and destrov- ed so much property and yet the at- torney-general has been held back from proszcutions for some unexplained reason. What does a workingman cnre about the prosecution of the oil trust when the big labor trust keeps him out of work every now and then. Suppose you write Pres, Taft and ask why the Att'y. Gen'l does not pro- tect the people against the biggest and most hurtful trust we have. Tho authorities forgat there are about thirty milllon workers in this country and only about 1,700,000 members of the Labor Trust and that most of them are coerced into mem- bership. Flow can the authorities the vast arm: answer to of 28 million free work- ers, farmers and householders whose affairs are from time to time inter- fered with and who have to bear the loss of wages and tha general heav: loss of stopped Industries brought about by the leaders of the Labor Trust in their manipulation of men eking to drive them into fee-paying slavery? Tha 25,000,000 workers, not mem- bers of the trust, object to beifig driv- en from work, or having R. R. tralns stopped with all the far-reaching losses, or the sireet cars stopped and men and women prevented from get- ting to and from work, or factories struck and perhaps destroyed, the weekly pay roll stopped and the sus- tenance of at least part and, perhaps all of a community withdrawn. Th: great Philadelphia street car strike was forced by the big Labor Trust, not on account of wages and hours but to throw out about 4,000 men who had their own union, a peaceable one. These men did not want to pay fezs to the trust leaders and be subject to their whims so they formed their own on for self protection. Thereupon the biz trust called a strike, blew up and burned cars, attacked and slaught- ered men, kept people from getting to aund from work, forced their other slaves to quit work and cost the peopls of Phil. several million dollars and un- told suffering and inconvenience solely for the purpose of “showing” them the | power of the Labor Trust to “force peopls to “mind” and force these in- dependent men to join the trust, “obey and pay fees to the leaders. That is a serious state of affairs in this free country and is enough to waken avery American to the neces- v of curbing such men in their in- sane race of noteriety, power and fee- gathering. Citizens want industry, commerce and wages to continue without inter- ference from any set of men either employers or employees who seek self- | | | ar to the trust leadérs.

Because the trust managers sent word to their local managers in all parts of the country instructing them to fire in letters and telegrams (o Congressmen whenever a bili to give the trust more power s introduced. The great mass of citizens who are to be tyrannized over have no organ- ization to warn them to notify Con- gressmen of their wishes and so tha heavy fire comes from but one side (the Labor Trust side) and thus im- presses the members of Congress with tha belief that the whole mass of lab- oring men are crylng for exemption from punishment for law-bredking. In this particular case the President induced Congress to reconsider the vote and protect the masses from the proposed tyranny. Don't forget the issue. The Labor Trust leaders called for exemption from prosecution when they break the law of conspiracy and they thus sought to be free to drive millions of free workmen into idleness. These freemen will not soon forgat the effort their representatives in Con- gress to force them into the irksome seeks to dictate first, monthly fees, then, when and where they can work, for whom, or what wages and how long. That kind of “hand tying” is not relished by the milliona of free men or by thousands of “tied” men now forced into membership in order to get jobs and not be slugged, yet they are ordered on ‘strike from time to time and made to bovoott, picket and act | as, law-breakers at the behest of the | leaders fighting to hold power over | them, - | “How can’the citizen and free man protect himself?

Experiencs in the past has shown that the great big factor known as the “common_man” may not be so quick as local Labor Trust leaders to write his Congressman for protection, yet he reads and votes: that is why many a candidats who thought he could help push through trust laws of either Cap- ital or Labor, seeking gain or control of the average citizen has met defeat when he comes up for re-slection.

This organization takes in many of the best ekilled workers in various crafts. They are pledged to no strike, no boycott, picketing, coercion or vig- lence of any kind. They present their cause peacefully and with dignity. 1f settlements cannot be made, the case goes to a carefully selected board of mediation.
