There is reason why they will not
support him. 1t is because they
believe he is against union labol of
all kinds. While they may. in some
instances, believe he has been acting
within his right in deporting men
and using the military whenever
and wherever he pleases. vet this is
not the main cause for their griev-
ance against him Union labor is an
institution that has its rights and
has performed work for the labor
ing classes which could not have been

To have the executive head of the
state against or believing him against
