lag 10 be recognized and IL they are
going 10 conform themselves and their
future work and actions in accordance
( thereto"
Let the people remember that com
neut The Federation OF Labor in
particular stands before the bar OF
public opinion having bten convicted
OF selfishness and disposition 10 rule
all the people Of the country in the In
terest OF the few.
The great 80 per cent OF Americans
do not take kindly to the acts OF ty-
ranny by these trust leaders openly
demanding thai all people bow down
( to the rules OF the labor trust and We
are treated 10 the humiliating spec
+ tacle OF our congress and even the
chief executive entertaining these con
victed 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
ulan OF gaining control over the AZ
fairs of the people
The sturdy workers OF America have
come 10 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 b. the old janitor at Mt.
Vernon.
What is il alls 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
W. feel Il privilege TO come here and
weep at his tomb
"Yas'm. yas'm. 70 shore has de-
siHs TO express 20 sympathy but yo
are overfiowin at the wrong spot; yo'
is weeDin at DE- ice house.
Don't get maudlin about lawbreak-

II you have any surplus sympathy
II can be extended 60 the honest work
ers who continue TO earn food when
threatened and are frequently hurt
and sometimes killed before the courts
Now the labor trust leaders demand
of congress that the courts be stripped
of mower to issue injunctions To pre-
vent thcm from assaulting or perhaps
numbering men who dare earn Nv
ing when ordered by the labor trust
to quit work.
Don't weep at the Ice House" and
don't permit any set OF law breakers
TO bully our courts. If your voice and
vote can prevent. Be sure and write
vo,tr representatives and senators in
congress asking them not to vote fCr
any measure 10 prevent the courts from
protecting homes. property and per
I sons from attack by paid agents OF
this great labor trust.
Let everyr reader write, and write

Don't sit silent and allow the or
ganized and paid men OF this great

American people. Say your say and let

I that YOU do not want 10 b. governed
uuder new laws which would empower
tho labor trust leaders with legal
right TO tell YOU when 10 work. Where!
For whom. At what price What 70
