I do not mean that we ahould refrain from hatlnr wronc: on the con- trary. I would preach ftrey wrath against wrong. But I would not preach such wrath against the wrong-doesave In those cases where his wrong-doin- g Is due to evil moral attributes on really his part and not to a wrong or false svi-teof which he Is almost as much the victim as the beneficiary. Sometimes a wrong represents the deliberate wicked-nea- s of the wrong-doein which case the remedy la to punish him. but sometimes It represents the effects of a false social system. In which case the light course Is to alter what Is false In the system. Both principles need to be kept In view aa guides to our conduct, and It Is necessary aometlmea to work In accordance with one and sometimes la accordance with ths other. Before ending I wish to say a word on something which I believe should especially interest all men who live In the open country, and especially all men who during the past thirty years have lived and worked on ranches, or hsve done their life work In the wilder parte of our land, on the rreat plains or among the mountains.

We need to strive for the general social betterment of ths people as a whole, and yet to encourage Individual liberty and aet high reward on individual Initiative up to the point where they become detrimental to ths general welfare. Wrong Doers and Wrong Systems. When a small clique of men put up a scheme to harness the clergy of America and Induce the ministers to, In turn "hitch up" the members of the churches, we should all take notice. They couldn't harness the preachers In a bad cause except by deceiving them. Ministers of the gospel are essentially and fundamentally honest but, like all men who work for the public good, they are at times mislead by false statements. Trust them when they have exact truth to speak from. Now for the story which should In terest every one for we are all either receivers of wages or we pay to wage earners and the freedom of each in dividual is at Issue. In various papers the following statement has been printed. Read it carefully at least twice. "Interest In Labor Sunday. "Labor Sunday the Sunday preceding Labor daywill be observed generally this year and In future years throughout the United States. This because of the American Federation of Labor declaration for the observance of that day. The numerous letters recently received at American Federation of Labor headquarters from ministers Is an assurance that Interest in the idea of giving special attention to the cause of labor from the pulpit one day In the twelve months Is widespread. Our readers are urged to try to bring about an understanding In their respective districts with representatives of the church so that ministers will make addresses that may attract trade unionists to the churches In large numbers for the day. Ministers should say what they think on the occasion In order that their trade union hearers may put the right estimate as to where the church stands on the question of the organization of labor. The more the will It subject Is discussed the better sound. are ethics Union labor. for be American Federation at."

The Counterfeit Southerner. one that often passes for the typical southerner In New York. This satchel, mouthed braggart Infests the cafes and demands attention by his abusing the waiter for offending hla delicate sense of honor. "I hate a nigger, suh," he loudly proclaims, which Is a sentiment that one never hears from those to the manner born.

Chicago Td There Is seldom a day passes but somewhere In our country from one to a score of our fellow men are assault ed or murdered by members of this band. Then remember the homes blown up or burned. The families hounded, the rioting, burning of street cars, wrecking of trains and attempted or successful killing of passengers. The general disturbance of Industry and the thousands ol dollars forced from tax payers to pay extra police, sheriffs and militia to protect, even tn a feeble way, the citizens from the mobs of members of the American Federation of Labor. Then you will realize why the great peace-lovin- g majority of over 80 million Americans protest against the organizagrowth of this crime-taintetion comprising perhaps one and one-ha- lf million men, of which It la estimated at. least seven-tenth- s are peace-lovin- g citizens and are members by coercion and are not tn sympathy with who have gained conthe three-tenth- s trol and force their methods. We find that a few designing men have seized control of the American Federation of Labor, just s some shrewd capitalists have secured 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 "Induce" workmen to Join. First, they talk of the "tyranny of capital" making slaves of workmen. Then they work up enthusiasm about the "brotherhood of man" and other talk which experience bas shown excites the emotions of workmen and they are Induced to Join and pay fees to the leaders. The 5000 workmen In Battle Creek are, as a rule, free from the dictates of the great Labor Trust and still get the hlgheet wages In Michigan. If they bad yielded to tbe smooth talk of the agents of tbe trust and Joined, they would pay In fees from 1 12.10.00 to $2000.00 a month to the big trust and be subject 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 bas sent small 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 succeeded In having them tied hand and foot. But they failed and the last of these) "organizers" left Battle Creek on May 1st saying "It's no use." The workmen knew the record of this great trust and formed their own association to protect their rights and also ro protect them from the big Labor Trust In Philadelphia some 4000 Independent street car men, who mainly had families, had their own union and refused to Join the big trust, preferring to ne free to work or not as they pleased. But the trust planned to force them into the ranks, so a strike was ordered to compel the traction company to kick out these men and hire only Labor Trust members. It was not a question of wages or hours but to push the free men out of their positions where they were earning good money to support their families. The strike was ordered, not to raise wages or reduce hours, remember, but solely to throw out members of an independent union and make places enly for Labor Trust members, and thus show the Independent men they could not earn a living unless they first paid fees to tbe trust man agers. Incidentally the people of Philadelphia must submit to no car service, rioting and bloodshed with millions In losses while these notoriety seeking trust leaders were teaching the wortd that Industry cannot be carried on except by workmen who first bend the knee, bow the head and pay fees. How .these men as strike leaders hive to aca their names tn the papers d fee-payi- each morning! It's meat and bread to their souls. Then think of the lordly power, and don't forget the steady flow of money squeezed from the workman's hard earned pay enevelope. But when these leadera "tie up" any Industry no man can hold a job who refuses to pay fines even on trumped up cbargea, and ateadily pay feea whatever they are. The workman la absolutely at tbe mercy of this band of men who have secured and hold control Many and many an honest workman has raised hla voice and appealed to hla fellows to rise and throw off the yoke of Gompers, et aL But, aa one writes, "At every convention of the American Federation of Labor, strong opposition cornea up but at the critical moment tbe impassioned orator appears and most dramatically puta the spot light on the leader and covera him with a mawkish film of 'martyrdom' and the emotional delegates yell in delight, forgetting the instructions of the peaceful workingmen at home who deBlre to free themselves from the odium of membership under tbe great advocates of atrlke, boycott, violence and bate." So we aee tbe unequalled Insolence with which these trust leaders propose to "induce" ministers to pull their chestnuts from tbe fire by preaching modern aggressive and violent labor trust methods. There Is a better way to secure justice for workers, aa will appear further along. Just a little diversion here. I am charged with having first brought to the attention of the public aome years ago, the name "Labor Trust" A trust Is a combination of men or organizations for the purpose of selling their product at a profit and restricting production to effect It We will say a large Oil Company gathers In smaller ones and thua con irols production. The Labor Trust "gathers In" local trade organizations and thua haa power to say bow much work each man shall do. The Oil Company then fixes prices. The Labor Trust does likewise. The Oil Company may "use methods" to force an unwilling dealer to join. The Labor Trust men go further and slug the Independent man If he tries to aell hla labor without paying fees and "obeying orders." They are both exactly alike In purpose, which, In both cases la entirely selfish to gain power and money for the leadera. Certain Labor Trust members do not hesitate to use violence, dynamiting of property, burning homea of Independent men and even murder to force obedience. Tbe Oil Company doesn't go so far. Both are extremely dangerous to the welfare of people and communities, for power placed In the handa of a few men either representing Cap-itor Labor la almost always abused anu tbe public suffers. Remember, reader, that your safety Ilea In strenuous opposition to all trusts which try to ride over and dictate to the people. Only by opposing their growth csn ' you retain your personanfbeFty. .Now to ministers. The average congregation Is made s up of about 90 per cent of free and much less than 10 per cent of members of the Labor Trust The free citizen wants to hear words defending tbe rlghta and Independence of the common man, free from the arbitrary dictates of any organization either of Capital or La al ctti-sen- self-seekin- bor. The merchant, lawyer, school teacher, doctor, clerk, farmer and workman rebela against any forcible stopping of trains, boats, street cars, or factories, for the prosperity of the community Is entirely dependent on steady continuance of these things. Men don't like strikes, boycotts, Injured workmen or burned cars and factories. A famous divine says: "These men may hate capitalists but their hate for other laboring men burns like a flame, eata like nitric acid, Is malignant all description." Then we remember cases of acid throwing, eyea gouged out, chlMim pursued, women atrlppod homea de d stroyed, men murdered and the long. long list of atrocities practised Ty mLbr Trust members on other human beings who cannot agree with the trust methods. Now for the better way. Workingmen are now organizing la the old fashioned tradea union or "guild" way, affiliated with the National Trades and Workera Association whose constitution provides arbitration of differences with agreement for no strikes, boycott, picketing or haterul coercion of any kind. This Trade Association has evolved from tbe experience of the past and la the highest order of Tradea Union-Isat the present day. Under IU laws It Is not possible for the Hod Carriers Union or the Street Sweepera Union to order the school teachers or locomotive engineers to quit work In a "sympathetic atrlke." If any craft flndsjusUceTlhecasi Is presented to properly selected arbitrators, testimony taken and the case presented to the public through tbe press. Thereupon public opinion, that greatest of all powers, makes itself telt and curiously enough a fair settlement Is generally the result There Is no strike, no loss of wages, no loss to the community and yet the faithful workera get their just treat m ment There are many details which have been worked out by men skilled In labor matters. It will recompense any Interested man to know these details which can be secured by a postal request for constitution and written tc the National Trades and Workera Asby-law- s sociation, Battle Kingman 'Block, Creek, Mich, Reader, look carefully Into this great question of the relations of Capital and Labor and Ita successful solution. The new plan works and brings results for the nieui tiers. I became so favorably-impres- sed with the trustworthiness and practic ability of the leadera of this new labor movement that I gave the Association a aanitorlum at Battle Creek worth about 400,000 and with about 300 rooms, to be used as a home for their old members and the helpless babies, sometimes made fatherless by tbe pistol, club or boot heel of some member of the violent "Labor Trust Suppose you attend church Labor Sunday and hear what your mlnlstei has to say In defense of the safety and rlghta of the common, everyday matf. Let me ask you to read again a portion of one of my public articles print ed a few years ago. "The people ot the world have giv en me money enough to spend In these talks through the papers in trying to make better and safer conditions for tbe common people, whether the Postum business runs or not Score of letters have come to m from work-peopl- e and others, somt from union men recounting their suf ferings from union domination and urging that their casea be laid before tbe public. It will not answer for us to onlj sympathize with the poor, the oppressed, those who haven't power enough to drive off tyrants and resent oppression, we must help them tie the bands of tbe oppressors, Americana must act Some of my forebears In New Eng land left comfortable homea, took with them the old flint locks, slept on tbe ground In rain and frost; hungry, footsore, and half clothed they grimly pushed on where the Eternal God ol Human Liberty urged them.

These old, sturdy grandads of ours stood by that loom until the mantle was finished, then, stained with their life blood It was handed down to us.
