heavy fire comes from but one side
Cthe Labor Trust sidel and thus inn
presses the members OF congress with
the belief that the whole mass OF Ia
boring men are crying for exemption
from punishment for law.breaking.
In his particular case the president
induced congress 10 reconsider tue
vote and protect the masses from the
proposed tyranny
Don't forget the issue.
The Labor Trust leaders called Tor
exemption from prosecution when they
break the law OF conspiracy and they
thus soughtto be free 10 drive mil
lions OF free workmen into idleness.

the effort Of their representatives In
congress to force them into the irk-
some slavery OF the big Labor TrusS
which seeks TO dictate first, monthly
fees. then, when and where they can

get Jobs and not be slugged. yet they
are ordered on strike from time tc
time and made TO boycott, picket and
act as lawbTeakers at the behest oil
the leaders fighting to hold power over
them.
