an employer on its unfair list?

3. Are you in favor of classifying trade unions as "trusts in restraint
of trade," as was done by the supreme court in the case of Lowe vs.
Lawler, and will you introduce a measure, should you be elected,
providing for the exemption of trade unions from the operation of the
anti-trust law under this court decision?

4. Do you endorse the supreme court decision making it lawful for a
corporation to discharge a man because of his membership in a labor
union? If you do not, will you introduce and vote for a bill setting
aside this decision of the supreme court and making it unlawful for a
corporation to discharge a man because he is a member of a trade union?

Here are these candidates in the State of Kansas for the United States
senate and house of representatives and if they are elected they will
have the power to control legislation, and it is perfectly proper that
you, as the representatives of the workers, should put these questions
squarely to these candidates and demand that they answer them. They are
very simple questions. The United States court has rendered a decision
to the effect that a trade union is a trust and that if it exercises
its legitimate powers it is a criminal conspiracy in restraint of trade.
That decision of the court congress has the power to set aside, and if a
man stands as a candidate for congress, in the upper or lower branch,
and appeals to you for your vote--and bear in mind he can only be
elected by your vote--it is right and proper that you should know if he
is in favor of the decision or opposed to it. And if he is in favor of
this decision he is your enemy.

Now, these candidates are trying to carry water on both shoulders. They
declare they will give both labor and capital a square deal, and I want
to say that is impossible. No man can be for labor without being against
capital. No man can be for capital without being against labor.

Here is the capitalist; here are the workers. Here is the capitalist who
owns the mines; here are the miners who work in the mines. There is so
much coal produced. There is a quarrel between them over a division of
the product. Each wants all he can get. Here we have the class struggle.
Now, is it possible to be for the capitalist without being against the
worker? Are their interest not diametrically opposite?

If you increase the share of the capitalist don't you decrease the share
of the workers? Can a door be both
