Labor and capital clash over union power in Indianapolis editorial
A letter to the Editor argues organized labor denies work to nonunion men, citing boycotts and pay inequities. It warns of a systemic suppression of nonunion workers, compares to past emancipation battles, and calls for a broad, rights-based settlement that treats every person as entitled to work in profitable industries. It cites examples of heating repairs, boycotts, and reform school statistics to illustrate hardship. The writer supports Senator Hanna's reform efforts as a path to resolution.
