Don’t Weep At The Ice House And Labor Trust
A historic column rails against the Labor Trust led by Gompers and colleagues. It argues courts must punish lawbreakers in labor disputes and defend free speech, free press, and lawful business from boycotts and violence. It cites Bucks Stove Works and Bucks Store Co. as victims and calls for Congress to empower courts to curb union misconduct and protect honest workers.
