| give to these leaders Is going to be
recognized and II they are going to
conform themselves and their future
work and actions in accordance there
to-"
Let the people remember that COM
ment, The Federation of Labor in
particular stands before the bar of
public opinion having been convicted
OF selfishness and disposition to rule
all the people of the country in the
interest of the few"
The great 80 per cent of Americans
do not take kindly to the acts OF tyr
amy by these trust leaders openly de-
handing that all people bow down TO
the rules of the Labor Trust and we
are treated to the humiliating specta-
Gle of our Congress and even the Chief
Executive entertaining these convict
ed law-breakers and listening with
consideration to their insolent de-
mands that the very laws be changed
to allow them to safely carry on their
plan of gaining control over the affairs
of the people.
The sturdy workers of America have
come to know the truth about these
martyrs sacrificing themselves in the
noble cause of labor" but it's only the
hysterical ones who swell up and cry
over the aforesaid heroes" remind
ing one of the two romantic elderly
maids who, weeping copiously, were
discovered by the old janitor at Mt.
Vernon.
What is it ails you ladies?"
Taking the handkerchief from one
swollen red eye, between sobs she
said:
why, we have so long revered the
memory Of George Washington that
we feel 1t a privilege to come here
and weep at his tomb"
"Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has de-
sire to express yo' sympathy, but yo'
are overhowin' at de wrong spot, yo'
is weepin' at de ice house"
Don't get maudlin about law-break-
ers who must be punished II the very
existence OF our people is to be main
tanned.
If you have any surplus sympathy
it can be extended TO tho honest work
ers who continue tc earn food when
threatened ard are frequently hurt
and sometimes killed before the courts
can intervene to protect them.
Now the Labor Trust leaders de-
mand of Congress that the courts be
stripped OF power to issue lnjuncttons
to prevent them from assaulting or
perhaps numbering men who dare earn
a living when ordered by the Labor
Trust 10 quit work.
Don't weep at the Ice House" and
don't permit any set OF law-breakers
to bully our courts, II your voice and
vote can prevent. Be sure and write
your Representatives and Senators In
Congress asking them not to vote for
any measure to prevent the courts
from protecting homes, property and
persons from attack by paid agents OF
this great Labor Trust.
Let every reader write, and write
now.
Don't slt silent and allow the or.
gained and paid men Of this great
trust to force Congress to believe they
represent the great masses OF the
American people Say your say and
let your representatives In Congress
know that you do not want 10 be gov
erned under new laws which would
empower the Labor Trust leaders with
legal right to tell you when TO work,
Wherei For whom, At what price,
What 70 buy, What not to buyl
Whom to vote for, How much you
shall pay per month in fees TO the La
Dor Trust etc, etc, etc.
This power Is now being demanded
by the passage Of laws In Congress.
Tell your Senators and Representa-
tiyes plainly that you don't want them
to vote for any measure that win al
low any set Of men either represent
ing Capital or Labor to govern and
dictate to the common people, who
prefer to be free TO go and come, WORK
or not, and vote for whom they please
Every mans HbS,-y viii disappear
when the leaders Of the great Labor
Trust or any other trust can ride
rough shod over people and mass their
forces TO prevent Cur courts from al
fordIng protection.
There's a Reason"
