VIOLENT ATTACK
ON LABOR UNIONS
lr- Thompson Says Ihey are a
Menace to Government'
SHOULD BE HELD TREASONABLE
fhcif IiCaders, Many of* Whom, Ho
Dcclares, Are Avowed Socialists,
Should Hc Kcgarded as Worsc
Than Traitors.
AA'ASHINGTON, D. C, June 11.?N. F.
Thompson, secretary of the Southern In
dustrial Convention, at Huntsvile. Ala..
made a somewhat sensational attack upori
labor unions before the Inaustnai Com?
mission to-day. "Labor organization,"
said Mr. Thompson, "are ihe greatest
menace to this government that exists
inside or outside the pale of our national
domain. Their influence for disruption
and disorgamzation of society is far more
tlangerous to the perpetuation of our
government in its purity and power, than
wouid be the hostile array on our borders
of the armies of the entire world com
bined."
Mr. Thompson" declared that he made
this statement from years of close study
and a lield of tlie widest opportunities for
observation, embracing tiie principal in
dustrial centres both of the North and
South. In support of his statement he
said that. on every hand. and for the
slighest provocation, ali classes of or?
ganized labor stand ready to inaugurate
a strike with atl Its attendant evils. and
that in adition to this, strdnger ties of
cousolidation are being urged over the
country among labor unions, with the view
of being able to inaugurate a sympa
thetic strike that wiil c-mbrace all classes
of labor simply to redress the grievances
or right the wrongs of one class, however
remotely located or however unjust may
be the demands of that class.
He asserted that "organizadons teach
ing such theories should be held" as
treasonable in their character and thoir
leaders worse than traitors to their coun?
try.'*
CREATE BAD FEELING.
Mr. Thompson declared that many labor
leaders aro open and avowed Socialists;
that their organizatlona are weakening the
ties of citizenship among thousands of our
people in that they have no other stand?
ard of obligattons than that these organl
zations inculcate. Their treaty will spread
disregard of rights of others; they are
destroying respect for law and authority
among the working classes; they are edu
cating the laboring classes against the
employing classes, thus creatlng antagon
isms between those whose mutuality of
Interests should be fostered and encour
aged "by every friend of good govern?
ment; that they are dstroylng the rights
of indlvidual contract between employes
and omployers and forcing upon employ
ers men at arbitrary wages: and that
they are bringing pubiic reproach upon
the judic'al trilounals of our country. by
?pubiic abuse of thess tribunals, and often
open defianco of their decrees, thus seek
ing to break the only safeguards of a
?free people.
REMEDY SUGGESTED.
The remedy for the evils lies, he said,
princlpally in a correct pubiic sentiment
touching the relatlons that should exist
between labor and capital.
"A law," ho added, "should be enacted
that woulrl make it justitinblc homiclde,
for any kllllng that occurred in defence
of an>" laiwful occupation. the theory of
our government being that any one had
a right to earn an honest Iiving in this
country and any endeavor to deprive one
of that right should be placed in the same
iegal status with deiprivation of life and
property.'
A strike and boycott. he thought. should
be made a felony, both by national and
State legislation, and he sugg?sted the
formation of State and national boards of
arbitration, authorized and empowered to
aottle all mattrrs of dii'ferences between
labor and capital, and whose decress
should be binding on t'ne parties affected.
Mr. Thompson expressed the opinion
that pubiic sentiment iin tho South wouid
justify tho ihooting of union men who
interfered with non-union men at work.
He said that t'ne South was holding out
as inductments to the manufacturers of
textiles tliat if they came South they
wouid be free from labor. strikes. There
is. he said, a movement on foot to put it
bfryond the power of labor unions by
means of compulsory arbitration to dis'turb
iit-.lustriol conditions.
Mr. Thompson expressed the opinion that
negro labor was essential to the prosper?
ity of uhe Smi'th. and he also said that the
South was very prosperous at the present
time.
