-
'"Judge Taft doea not believe In gov
ernment by the peol and for the peo
ple; he believes In government by the
judgea.".
So did Andrew Furuseth, leading
labor organiser of the Pacific coast, and
' a man high in the councils of the A me
loan Federation of Labor, voice the
proteat of the men who toll wh their
hands against the election to me pres
idency of a man who not only promises
them nothing, but indicates that he will
help to take away from them what they
already have.
It was a big crowd that fathered In
the Armory, jlespit the falling rain, to
listen to Furuseth a crowd of laboring
men, of voters, representatives of the
class In whose hands lies largely the
ultimate decision as to who shall sit in
the White House and hold the- reins of
government. It was not a curious crowd
come to hear what they might hear.
It was an earnest crowd.
And the meeting was a protest, the I
voicing of a grievance. According to
their spokesman, the laboring men have
been badly treated by. William H. Taft.
and there Is no prospect that If he is
elected to the highest office in the gift
of the people he will do any more to
aid the working man in the futurejhan
he baa In the past.
. Points to the Tea cords.
There waa nothing Incendiary about
Ftiruseth's address. He did not heap
anathema upon Mr. Taft, or anybody
else. He contented himself with point -incirto
the Republican candidate's past
record, comparing it with that of the J
Democratic candidate, holding up the!
two pictures to tha view 'of his audi
ence, and asking them to choose for
themselves -which they would have fpr
their president - .

how to use that w.eapon'most effective
ly, and that , ha . nas consistently ana
constantly opposed labor and worked
in the Interest a of capital. Speaking as
a laboring man, Furuseth said: -'We
went to our employer and laid
our crlevanoea before him and asked for
Improvement in accordance with the
Increase in our standard of living. We
wanted to educate our children. I ask
you If In all this we were not acting the
part of good cltlsena. . -
nis employer oi ours rnuwo uur
nrtltlnn. and In order to enforce It we
quit work, and we asked other men to
act In sympathy with us by refusing to
work for that man. ' He sent agenta all
over, not only the United states, dui
Kurope, to find men to take our places.
and all we could do was to organise
closer and. stronger. When that failed
we applied the purchasing power of our
own money: we rerusea to ouy ins
goods, and asked other cltlsena to do bo,
bellevlna that our patronage was our
own to do with aa we pleased. We found
no law romiaaina- u. we appiiea tne
boycott. .
Wnat Is a Boycott
"Now. what Is a boycott? The oll
Greeks called It ostracism. The Chris
tians have at all times called it ex
communication. Any community that
enforces It calls It expulsion. It IS the
cutting yourself off from a man until
hn ceases to do evil and learns to do
good. s
"Now, this man goes to a judge and
asks him for an Injunction.- - It is a
writ In equity. The Kngllsh courts call
it a writ In chancery. When one man
gets another man's head under his arm
and punches that head with his fist,
they call it having the man In clian
oery. An Injunction is -the power of 'a
king over his subjects. It is Irrespon
sible, despotic government and Is as
much opposed to law as anything can
bp. It was originated for the purpose
of protecting the weak against the
strong. Now, It Is used to protect the
strong against tue wean.
"Now, that employer went before the
judge and pot a writ of injunction,
which forbids a man to do things, say
things do anything. In fact, but
breathe.
"For 150 years before the Declara
tion of Independence the Injunction was
never used to interfere In personal re
lations. When lbor organisation be
gan to grow stronger and stronger tho
courts Invented a new definition for
a judge because he la a judge: that

"We asked for an antl-lnjunclion law
out we couian t get it. one injunc
tion followed another. Gompers called
a convention two years ago and they
drafted a bill of grievances. We sub
mitted it to Mr. Cannon and he gave
us a lecture and told us we didn't

White House and presented It to Mr.

ry. And Mr. Loewe's busines dwindled
and he went to the courts and sued for
damages for Interfering with his busi
ness ana aiminisning his- income from
his business. The, case was taken into
the supreme court of the United States
and Mr. Loewe's lawyers pleaded under
the Sherman anti-trust law. The law
yers of the other side pleaded that the
Sherman anti-trust law waa not ap
plicable to labor unions. -And the su
preme court of the United States con
cluded that the organization of labor
was a combination and that the Sher
man anti-trust law was applicable, and
mai air. ijoewf could collect damages-
if he could find anybody to collect
iron).

"So with one sweep the right of
combination was taken away from us
and we were subject to being sent to
jail and to having our property swept
away I rum us.
"Another meeting of the American
Federation of Labor was' held at Wash
ington and another bill of grievances
was drafted and presented to the party
In power. We said, "We ask you to
protect us In these matters.' Their
answer was 'No.' And Sunny Jim Sher
man got up in tne house of representa
tives and said they were perfectly
aware or wnat tney were doing and
were willing to bear the responsibility.
"We went to the Chicago convention
and asked for redress of our grievances
and were refused, f4r. Van Cleave said.
I 'JjGt them go to Denver.'

'Mr. Taft Is an exceptionally able
man. He In a big man nhyslcallv and
mentally. He has a big brain. BuWi
has an entirely different conception of
government irom what Is right. Mr.
Taft is a federalist from the top of
nis ncaa to tne tip or ms-toe. He does
not believe tn government for the peo
ple or by the people. He believes in
government by the judges."
Reviewing some of Mr. Tsft's deci
sions as superior judge of Cincinnati,
the speaker said that Mr. Taft invented
something he called "secondary boy
cott." "And Mr. Taft said that was
against the law. But he took mighty
good care not to tell where the law
could be found. It couldn't be found.

"If the judge Is to determine whether

reduced them to so much property in
