against the syndicate as matter OF self
protection.
The sheet starts of with a statement
from Lee Shubert. setting forth his hopes
and aims and telling OF the wrong that has
been done him and his associates In the anti
syndicate forces, which are styled In the
pamphlet sThe Independents.
Mr.; Shubert's Introductory paragraph Is
as follows:
