HoodwinKing Clergymen Take just one as an illustration There were some thirty men mur- cerad and uver 5000 brulsed and maim- ed in the Chicago's teamster's strike. There is seldom a day passes but somewhere {n our country from one to a score of our fellow men are assault- ed or murdersad by members of this band. Then remember the homes blown up or burned. The families hounded, the rioting, burning of street cars, wreck- ing of trains and attempted or success- tul killing of passengers. . The general disturbance of industry and the thousands of dollars forced from tax payers to pay extra police, sheriffs and militia to protect, even in a feeble way. the citizens from the mobs of members of the American Federation of Labor. Then you will realize why the great peace-loving majority of over 80 mill- ion Americans protest against the growth of this crime tainted organiza- tion comprising perhaps one and one- half million men, of ‘which it is esti- matad at least seven-tenths are peace- loving _citizens and are members by coercigh and are not in sympathy with the three-tenths who have gained con- trol and force their methods. We find that a few designing men have seized comtrol of the American Federation of Labor, just as some shrewd eapitalists have secuned control of some railroads and other interests and are now twisting and turning them into machines for personal profit and fame. These men cunningly plan to force workmen to join and pay 25 to 75 cents a month in fees. Various methods are used to duce” workmen to join. “4n- First, th:z talk of the “tyranny of capital” making slaves of work: ‘Then they work up enthusiasm ut ths “brotherhcod of man” and Jther talk which experience has shown ex- cites the emotions of workmen and they are induced to “join” and pay fees to the leaders. The 5000 workmen in Battia Creek are, as a rule, free from the dictates of the great Labor Trust and still get the highest wages !n Michigan. If they had yielded to the smooth talk of the agants of the trust and joined, they would pay In fees from $1250.00 to $2000.00 month to the big trust and be sub- Ject to strike orders any time. Now they save that and put the money Into homes and family comforts. But the managers of the American Federation of Labor have worked hard and long to harness them. The trust has sent emall bales of money and last winter 18 “organizers” to tie up Battle Creek. They hired halls, gave picture shows, smokers, etc., as an Investment, looking to rich returns when they succeedad in having them tied hand and foot. But _they failed and the last of these “organizer: left Battle Creek on May 1st saying “it's no use. . The workmen knew the record of this great trust and formed their own as- =oclation to protect their rights and also to pretect them from the big Labor Trust. 2 In Philadeiphia some 4000 indepen- dent street car menm, who mainly 'ad families, had their own union and re- fused 10 join the big trust, preferring to be free to work or not as they pleased. But the trust planned to force them into the fee-paying ranks, so a strika was ordered to compel the traction company to kick out these men and bire only Labor Trust members. It was mot a question of wages or hours but to push the free men out of their positions where they were earn- ing good money to support thelr fami lies. The strike was ordered, not to raise wages or reduce hours, remem- bLer, but solely to throw out members of un independent union and make places only for Labor Trust membe znd thus show the indepeandent wen they could not earn & living unless they first paid fees to the trust mana- gers. - Incidentally the people of Philadel- phia must. submit to no car service, rioting and ‘bloodshed with millions"In lossed while' these fee-hunting, notori ety-seeking trust leaders were teaching the world that industry cannot be cAr- ried on except by workmen who first ;w.n« the knee, bow the head and pay een. How these men as strike leaders love to see thieir names In the papers each morning! It's meat and bread to thelr souls. Then think of the lordly power, and dom’t forget the steady flow of mioney squeezed from the workman's hard earned pay envelope. But when these leaders “tiz up” any fndustry no man can hold a job who refuses to pay fines even on trumped charges, and steadily pay fees what- ever they are. The workman Is absolutely at the mercy of this band of men who have secured and held control. Many and many an honest workman has ralsed his voice and appealed to his fellows to rise and throw off the yoke of Gompers, et al. But as one writes, “At overv convention of the American Federation of Labor, strong opposition comes un but at the critical moment the impassioned oraior ap- pears and most dramatically puts the spot light on the leader and covers him with a mawkish film of ‘martrydom’ and the emotional delagatss vell in de- light, forgetting the instructions of the peaceful workingmen at home who de- sire to free themselves fron¥ the odium of mambership under the great advo- cates of strike, boycott, violence and hate.” So we see the unequalled insolence with which these trust leaders proposs to “Induce” ministars to pull their chestnuts from the fire by preaching modern agressive and vielent labor trust methods, There is a better wav to secure jus- tice for workers, as will appear further along. Just a little diversion here T am charged with having first brought to the attention of the nublic soéme years ago, the name ‘“Labor Trust. A trust is a combination of men or organizations for the purpose of s*lling their product at a nrofit and restrict- ing production to effect it We will say a large Oil Company gathers in smaller ones and thus con- trols production. The Labor Trust “gathers in " looal trade organizations and thus has power to say how much work each man shall do. The Oil Company then fixes prices. The Labhor Trust does lfkewise. The Oil Company may “us» meth- ods” to force an unwllling dealer to Join.

The average congregzation Is made up of about 90 per cont. of free citi- zens and much less than 10 per cent. of members of the Labor Trust.
