ment engaged in organizing government en,nlovees and placing them under oath | to obey the rules and order of the Labor Trust as superior to the rules 1 and orders of the officials of the U. s Government, set up, supported and operated by and for the American citi- zens
 True some mild voiced protest has gone up from high government officials but they continue to employ these sworn enemies of the government.
 Enemies? They deny it but let us put them un-
 der the search light, The government is the employer. A labor union, or labor
 trust is organized as a counter power to the employer and to rule him if pos
 sible> The Labor Trust proposes to as- sume control as soon as 1t has power and is only deterred from it's purpose by superior government power. It con- tinuously makes test of its strength to see how far it extends and whenever the time comes that 1t has power enough it will certainly take the relns That is it's purpose pure and simple It
 is "an organization of state within a state" expressly forbidden by the Constitution and extremely dangerous to the Republic and to its people It must be permitted to exist with
 in governmental circles and the naIll- 1 fest duty of the President is to sum marily demand of every government employe down to the most humble ser want of the people, instantaneous Wlth- | drawal from this or any band or con 1 spirators and a renewal of his oath or allegiance to the U s. government or | immediate dismissal. This government
 is of by and for the people ana IL can
 and will treat it's servants fairly ana' from the peoples money pay them well, l but it shall not be overheld, dominated and dictated to by any organization or trust. This is the eve of an electon
 and have been warned that such
 suggestion from the official head or d
 national organization might "embar-
 rass" the President and other prom
 nent officials of our government at thls
 time.
 I haven't yet seen many conditions
 that have "embarrassed' our capaple
 President when the facts come clean
 cut to his mind, He has repeatediY
 announced that he is the executive Tor
 all the people and not alone of some or-
 ganization or class, He believes tnat
 and shows his belief by his acts' But
 in his efforts to give every man
 square deal he has thoughtlessly per-
 nitted these members of hidden and
 traitorous organization q say traitor o,ts not in hate but simply as a state
 ment of legal facD to partially dornl-
 nate and dictate and to grow even to : a danger point,
 Speaking for the National Citizens 3 Industrial Association represented by l some hundreds of thousands Of Amerl- , can citizens it is respectfully urged that
 he clean the government offices of eacf 3 and every individual affiliated witt , any organization having for it's pur' 3 pose a massing of strength sufficient t l dictate to this Govt, At this writing r threats are openly made by the mem n bers of the Labor Trust that strik' e will be ordered in the Govt printing office and the Govt work tied up untl r the Instructions or "orders" of tn l trust are obeyed. This is an insult t' q the people which rouses the deepes c feeling of patriotic resentment and IS - defiance which must be met by th
 most thorough cleaning possibl s to bring about No citizen who love t his country will tamely submit to suel e impudence,
 I A similar attempt at tyranny an
 domination of our loved nation by an ; foreign outfit would put our warship 2 on the scene, cleared for action an 7. ready to blow somebody off the fac t of the earth.
 ,ss Do you suppose for one moment tha s we would submissively bend our knees ~ to any outsiders who would tie up ou " government operations and announc ~ that we only be permitted to resum -S when we had laid down and licked tn dust from the shoes of the dlctator' ,l We might very quickly lick something ~ ~ but it certainly would not be tryant'

 Then the next piece of house cleai ,lr ing in the interests of the people is +s demand of their public prosecutors u .s active and effective prosecution to u ,o very limit of the consprators who a ts so actively engaged in the restraint or state and interstate commerce. ns This continual interference with Il m efforts of common people to work ar r- carry on the industries which yield ne living to the people must be stopp' ch and we have laws sufficient to stop nt and punish the conspirators, The L. of bor Trust leaders in working to tryaI
