We. organize our commerce so that he has no other way of making a living and we cannot get along without him; then on slightest provocation we clap him into jail; we pass laws against him when he joins the I.

What a contrast to the stupid methods of Passaic and Clifton where reporters are assaulted, where strikers are sent to jail for thirty days for swearing, although the police wear no haloes, and where the chief of police should be arrested for assult and battery.
