( 1908 ) Commentary by Ron Briley, Sandia Preparatory School
  • “Under the court's construction of the Sherman law the voluntary and peaceful associations of labor that are organized for the uplifting of the workers, these unions I say, are made the greatest offenders under the anti-trust law.” - Editorial on the Supreme Court Decision in the Danbury Hatters' Case
  • “Be more active than ever before in using every lawful and honorable means, not only to secure relief from the present situation at the hands of Congress, but in the doing of everything which may promote the uplifting and noble work of our great cause of humanity. Like all great causes it must meet temporary opposition, but in the end it will accomplish all the more on account of the trials endured.” - Editorial on the Supreme Court Decision in the Danbury Hatters' Case
