All really educated and honest men

equita BILE share of the fruits of their Ia
Dor, is the most vital necessity of our
time. Without such ganization of

wealth concentration. even a fair degree
of industrial peace could not be main
tanned; the wage workers condition
would be forced down TO the lowest nos

organized labor has esta blished. and is
establishing a greater degree of unin-

with employers. Such agreement i'm

an organized body of workmen can
only enter into an agreement with en-

carry into execution the terms of such
agreement when all the workingmen of
an employer at least in any given
plant, are all members of the union.
THE so-called open shop makes

only in private employment, but also on
all work performed by or on behalf of
the government. whether the employ

While we seek to avoid and avert
strikes and industrial disputes, any at
tempt to cripple the right of labor as a
last resort to strike in defense of our
rights simply means labors enslave-
ment; for industrial tranquility by
agreement through the methods of con-
Citation and fair arbitration is only
possible and attainabe when the work
ers are organized and have the liberty
to exercise their constitutional rights.
The writ of injunction in its proper
sphere is a right and a protection. It
was never designed for the purpose to
which it is now put in industrial dis
putes. There is not now upon the statute
books of any state, or upon the statute
books of the federal government, line
upon which authority rs given the courts
have been issued in Industrial disputes
It is not the use but the abuse by the
courts of the writ of injunction against
which we protest, which is in direct con-
f1ict with the right guaranteed to our
people by the constitution of our coun-
try.
THE men in the organized labor
movement are lawabiding, faithful and
loyal citizens. They have no desire for
immunity from the laws governing 9TH

The right of the nonunionist to work
wheh, where and for what he p1eases
carries with it the logical right of the
uniohist to work or refuse to work
when, where and for what he pIeases,
and with whom he pleases.
ITO nonunionist, despite that which
his advocates say for him, cannot be
attributed the virtue of helping his fell
low workmen or contributing toward
the establishment of more rightful rela-
tons between workingmen and their
employers. No force but that of per
suas9on and moral and intelligent in

the nonunionist to membership in our
