Show LAND OF THE FREE My other old friend, tho plumbers' combine, H seems to have been having a good time with that H outrageous enemy of special privilege, tho Midg- H loy Brothors, who show a pernicious tendoncy to H violate all labor conventions by attending to their H own business. And tho thing grows moro inter- H esting as ono observes that the combine claims H tho right to close shops, restrain workmen from H work, abrogate any old sort of contract not ap- H proved by tho combine, and in a general way to H do all tho things tho Standard Oil, tho American H Tobacco and tho International Harvester can't H do. I always am proud to note tho superiority H of Salt Lako people in any lino of endeavor, and H find hero that the blessed plumbing combine of H this city is biggor than Harriman over was, and H that its edicts seem to stand whilo ho couldn't H oven combine two of his own railroads. It just H goes to show that there is no law suporior to tho H laws of labor unions. H Hero aro tho plumbers tho workmen got- H ling six dollars a day. I don't hesitate to say H thoy can't earn it not a man of them. It is an H imposition and an outrage on tho homo owners H of tho community. But it goes, because it is H committed in the sacred cause of organized H labor. H Not only that, but tho combine can prevent Hj any man working for the Midgloy company, no H matter what tho pay, unless that company joins H tho said combine. And oven after coercing tho H firm into tho trust, the trust can lift tho ban or H lot it lio till tho magnates controlling the trust H conclude thoy havo made tho punishment fit the H crime of ovon a transient hesitation.
