We ay this without prejudice ml nit nocletlre formed for the protection, advancement and (central (cen-tral welfare of tlio working uiu, ., We roncedo the right of workmen to combine for all lawful purposes con flfif i alstent with their own and the 111 j J public good. They have the II I j right to say how long they will work ' j and for what wages- Hut they hare If not the right, either legally or nitrally, to lay that an employer ihall not hire j such help a he can get and of the kind r be dtndree, nor to prevent a jieraon who dooa not cu fit to Join their societies ! from obtaining employment Any acta which tend to promote thou avlls, of either of them, wo regArd ai wrong and Impolitic. They are In thu nature of tyranny. They will rebound upon thoao who engage In them. It la Jbr thla reason, M well aa because em ployera aud tho community aro Injured by thla Vluil of opireulon, that we step-locate step-locate It. i Wheunifii receive fair wagei and are I not overworked, we think they are un- wlsoaud In the wrong when they reek to domineer over their employ era and leavo their employnieiit to prevent other rsou from working. And tho mult of o doing are, aa a rule, In the end mure disastrous to the atrlkera Uian anybody elie. The hla-tory hla-tory of labor will doinonstrato thla to all who read It thoughtfully. Labor orgnnlialloue may use argu laeutTpcrsuasIoii end"olhereucli mi-ana aa they may dovlae, to Induce all work-nu work-nu u to unite with them. Hut when they result to any ajieclea of compulsion ' they deport from Ihilr ligltmutn , channel and beconio Injurloua In lu- i dividual and to aoclety. To say that an employer shall not give work to n non-Union man, or that a non-Union man ahall not work aide by aldo with a j member of a Uulou,l to auut a itwrr j that do, noi rightly or lawfully bt- i long to any labor association on earth. r We hope both employers aud am I ployea will come to a fair understand- j Ing on tueao questions. If not, trou- j Me will arise, and we fear I the laboring classes, whether skilled or unskilled, that seek to force othera Into aopilsceitca with their plana, will auf. 1 I fer the greater part of It. & We are opposed to tyranny In any I j from. It la not alwaya the rich, the 3 titled or the rulers, who exirtdsu It. , The tyranny of a multitude la worae itiaU tho oppression of a inouarch. Organlratlona of the toltera must not 1 seek, to luako their comblnatlona tho f uieana of lnrrlngemeut upou the right of auy one, worker or employer. If they do, they will eventually bo broken up, illher by their own luher culwcakuruMireto bo Jeveloped, or by the strong arm of tho law, which will be the crjstalliatlon of publln oplulon and thu anertlou of tho rlghta of aoclety.
