1t is believed by many that one OF
the chief causes of the panic and pres

wide spread interference with, and
stoppage of industry brought about by
these same Labor Socialists in driving
away business and preventing The
steady distribution Of money among
the working classes. Every million dol

The Labor leaders have brought

Now, when the jobs the Labor-Se'-

Here the line between classes is
clearly drawn and you get back again
to the same old spot, ''Take from one

1t comes back to the same old place.
you see. Look at the purpose of all
the anti-injunction bills introduced by,
the Labor-Socialists. Each end every
one seeks to tie the hands of the peo-
pies courts, and for what purpose?
No injunction issued in labor strikes
ever harmed an honest citizen, in
tending to peacefully pursue his occu-
patton.
Injunctions stop mobs, intent on in
sulting, assaulting and perhaps MUIR
dering other citizens, from congregat-
ing. The Labor-Socialist raises loud
cry because he is commanded by a
court to keep off the public street
near factory employing independent
men.
The injunction always directs the
man or men to stay off certain streets
or refrain from doing other things,
when it is reasonably we'll known they
intend to go on those streets or do
those acts, to insult, or assault citi-
zens or destroy property. The peace
full citizen is never hurt by an iniunc
ton in labor case and the courts
have a right to prevent injury to the
interests of any community. But in
junction do prevent Labor-Socialists
from terrorizinz people into submits
sion to the Labor trust
Therefore, in order to secure submits
sion and power to extract from the
employer extra money, they contend
the injunction must be done away
with.
Every public man who supports any
measure seeking to reduce the power
of the courts in order to make 1t more
difficult for them to protect property
and the person of the common citizen
is an enemy OF HomeOwners and an
ally of the Labor Socialists.
Watch such public men-particularly
those who want to revise the criminal
code injunction laws. They want to
make it easier for mobs to do damage
and escape punishment. Their names
will be printed broadcast later on so
that the people may know
Some public men are like some news
