The rod, says Mr. Flfleld, has been used successfully all over New England and in the western mining districts. It is attached to whalebone handles 12 Inches long and weighs two ounces. The handles have inscriptions on them which are almost obliterated by age. The person who brought the rod to America was Isaac Greenleaf, who settled lu Massachusetts.

But when these leaders "tie up" any industry no man can hold a job who refuses to pay fines even on trumped up charges, and steadily pay tees whatever they are. The workman Is absolutely at the mercy of this band of men who have secured and hold control. Many and many au honest workman has raised tils voice and appealed to his fellows to rise and throw oS the yoke of Ciowpers, et al. But, as one writes, "At every convention of the American Federation of Labor, strong opposition comes up but at the crit-lcmoment the Impassioned orator appears and most dramatically puts the spot light on the leader and covers htm with a mawkish film of 'martyrdom' and the emotional deli gates yell in delight, forgetting the instructions of the peaceful womlnginen at home who desire to free thembelves from the odium of membership under the great advocates of strike, boycott, violence and hate." So we see the unequalled insolence with which these trust leaders propose to "induce" ministers to pull their chestnuts from the fire by preaching modern aggressive aud violent labor trust methods.
