The plan to federate all Irish Catho

mously indorsed by the national Hlbern-
' lan convention meeting In the Masonlo
temple this morning. - Among' the lead

complete and unified effort toward free-
! lng Ireland from English . rule, were
National President Cummlngs and Arch

the great Ideal' toward which President
Cummlngs has striven during his i terra
of office, It J i the platform vupon
which "he ; bases bis candidacy for re
election to the leadership, of . ths order.
It. was the keynote of his report made
to the ieonvehtlon yesterday, and the
" chief subject of his address t the ban
quet last mgni.
Another subject, dear, to Irish hearts
was introduced in ths report of Profes
sor Michael a : Rehan, chairman of the
rational i commission on . the 1 teaching
of Irish .'history. ; To extend the teach
lng of IrlBh history, to make every Irish
child In every school familiar with ths
outstanding facts related to the devel
opment of the T Irish race, is the life
ambition of Professor Rohan. His re
port showed that all the leading Catho
lics and Hibernians throughout America
had unqualifiedly indorsed what h has
f- been doing.-

In making his report : Professor Ro

there Is perhaps never one single day
in ft year but what the Labor Trust Is
engaged somewhere In America In "re
straining trade," , preventing pvn from
working and stopping' the, now of in
dustry. ' No trust In this country breaks
the law one tenth, as, many times, or
takes the bread from men's mouths, as
frequenUy as the Labor Trust
- No' trust has ever "restrained" such
volumes of work or stopped the payment
of--BO-muchmoney. ;
' NO ' trust has maimed and killed so
many men or blown up and destroyed
so much property -and yet the attorney
general has been.beld.back'from prose
cutions for some unexplained A reason.
What does a worklngman care about
s.proseattUoa-af the oll,rust-whe
the big labor trust keeps him out of
work every now and then.
Suppose you write Pres.. Taft and
ask ;why the Att'y Gen'l does not pro
tfect- the people against the biggest and
most hurtful trust we have. :
'How can the authorities answer tto
the vast army of 28 million free work
ers, farmers and householders whose af
fairs are from time to .time Interfered
with and who have to beat the loss of
wages and the general heavy loss of

The 28,000,000 workers, not members
of the trust object to being driven from
work, or .having R. R. trains stopped
with all the far-reaching losses, or the
street cars stopped and men and women
prevented , f rom getting to and from
work, or factories struck and perhaps
destroyed, the weekly 'pay roll stopped
and the sustenance of at least part and
perhaps all of a community withdrawn.
The great Philadelphia street car
strike was forced by the big Labor
Trust not on account of . wage and
hours, but to throw but about 4000 men
who had their own union, a peaceable
one. 1 ' '-'. . .,"-. '':':; ,
These men did not want to pay fees
to the trust leaders and be subject to
their whims so they formed their own
union , for self protection. Thereupon
the big. trust called a strike, blew up
and burned cars, attaoked and slaugh
tered men, kept people from getting to
and from work, forced their other slaves
to quit , work , and cost the people of
Phtt. several million dollars and untold
suffering and inconvenience solely , for
the purpose of "showing" them the
power of the Labor Trust; to "force'
people to "mind" and force these inde
pendent men t join the trust "obey"
and pay fees to the leaders.
That Is a serious state of affairs In
thls-free country-nd- ;is enough-to
awaken every American to the neces
slty of curbing such men in their In
sane race for notoriety; power and fee-
gathering. i
Cittxens want Industry, commerce and
wages to continue without interference
from any set of men either employers
or employes who seek selfish gain to
thmselves alone,' without regard to -how
much all the people outside the trust
may be Inconvenienced and damaged. :
The trust leaders, to make stronger
their control of members, fight valiantly
to be allowed to boycott and conspire
to ruin all free citlaens either employers
or workmen who do not pay fees to the
trust leaders. ' ' '-..r :y-
..Therefore when this 820O,OOO.i00 expro
priation bill came up they deluged con
gress with demands to exempt comblna
tlons of labor from prosecution, if they
broke the law and,, startling as It may
seem, over a ; hundred Congressmen
voted to so exempt them, In other words
voted to permit one Bet of men to break
the law and dominate the great major
Ity of cltlsens, whjle the majority must
keep the law and submit to the damage,
losses, insolence and idleness put upon
them by the comparatively small band
of trusty members. . .
"Why were, these Congressmen cbw-ardsT-
you as It- Because the trust man
agers sent word to their local managers
In aU parts of the country instructing
them to fire in letters and telegrams to
Congressmen whenever a , bill to , give
the trust more power, is Introduced, '
The great mass of citizens who are
are crying for exemption from punish
ment for law-breaking.
In this particular case the-President
induced Congress to reconsider the
vote and protect the masses from the
proposed tyranny. ' ,
Don't forget the Issue.
The Labor TruBt leaders called for
exemption from prosecution when they
break the law of conspiracy and they
thus sought to be free to drive millions
Of free workmen into Idleness. ,
These freemen will not soon forget
the effort of their1' representatives In
Congress to. force them into the. Irksome
slavery of the big Labor Trust which
seeks - to dictate first monthly fees,
then, when, and where they can work,
for whom, or what wages and how long.
That kind of "hand tying" is not rel
ished by the millions of free men or by
thousands of "tied" men now forced
into membership in order to get Jobs
and not be slugged, yet they are ordered
on strike from time to time and made
to boycott picket and act as law
breakers at the behest of the leaders
fighting to hold power over them.

The Trades and Workers Ass'n is
growing rapidly among some of the
best workmen In America. I
It marks a new epoch. Let workmen
write the Trades and Workers Ass'n of
Battle Creek, Mich.,' for a constitution
and. by-laws and study the new peace
movement.
Practically all real workers dislike to
have their negotiations conducted by
strikes- violence, hate and general dis
turbance, but the noisy ones have gained
control of the big Labor Trust and they
force the peaceful ones, and by such
methods have brought much odium on
the name of Labor.
A better day is coming. A day of
peace and steady- prosperity . for the
workers, but it will be delayed by cow
ardly t Congressmen if they mistakenly
vote to put more power in the hands of
the trust leaders and make them ; lni
mune from prosecution when they boy
cott, slug, burn and dynamite, using
such means to hold workmen in their
power to extract monthly fees from
them and to force the rest of humanity
to obey" them or take the consequences. ;
It Is high time the people were protect-1
ed by the strong arm of the law.
Reader. If you want ,t retain your
freedom talk plainly to your Congress
men and Legislators. Remember the
high priests of the Labor Trust are al
ways busy hounding Congressmen to
pass new laws to protect them ln'thelr
attacks on workmen and citizens..
Do your duty and compel your repre
sentatives to protect you. If they don't
respond, see you are at the polls and
cast a vote for the man who has first
agreed to stand by the majority and
give "exemption" and special privilege
to no tight and. snug combination of
cither Labor or Capital.
Guard your sacred personal liberty
