| Let the people remember that COM
ment, THE Federation of Labor in par
| ticular stands before the bar of public
| opinion having been convicted of sef-
| fishness and disposition to rule all
the people of the country in the inter-
est of the few"
The great 80 per cent of Americans
| do not take kindly ) to the acts of
| tyranny of these trust leaders openly
| demanding 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 convicted
law-breakers and listening with consid-
| Grafton to their insolent demands 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" reminding
one OF the two romantic elderly maids
who, weeping copiously, were discov-
cred 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 it privilege to come here and
weep at his tomb"
"Yas m, yas'm, yo' shore has a desire
to express yo' sympathy but yo' are
overfowin' at de wrong spot, yo' is
weepin' at de ice house."
Don't get maudlin about law-break-
ers who must be punished If the very
existence of our people is to be main.
tanned.
Ifyou have any surplus sympathy It
can be extended to the honest workers
wht continue to earn food when threat
eneA and are frequently hurt and
sony LINES killed before the courts can
intervene to protect them.
Nov the Labor Trust leaders de-
mand q Congress that the courts be
stripped of power to issue injunctiops
to prevent them from assaulting or per-
laps numbering men who dare earn
ID living when ordered by the Labor
Trust to quit work.
Don't weep at the Ice House" and
1on't permit any set of law-breakars
tt, bully our courts, IL your voice and
vota can prevent. Be sure and write
your Representatives and Senators in
Cong.ess asking them not to vote for
any Measure to prevent the courts
from protecting homes, property and
persois from attack by paid agents of
this great Labor Trust.
Let every reader write, and write
now.
Don't sit silent and allow the organ
lied and paid men of this great trust
to fore Congress to believe they rep
resent the great masses of the Amer
lean ieople. Say your say and let
your representatives in Congress know
| that y'u do not wanc to be governed
under lew laws which would empower
the Labor Trust leaders with legal
right Il tell you when to work, Where!
For wlom! At what price! What to
buy! What not to buy! Whom' to
vote fir! How much you shall pay
per moth in fees to the Labor Trust!
ETC., et., etc.
Thispower is now being demanded
by thepassage of laws in Congress.
Tell yur Senators and Representa-
tives plinly that you don't want them
| to votelor any measure that will allow
any Sc of men either representing
CapitaIor Labor to govern and die
tate to ne common people, who prefer
| to be fee to go and come, work or
not IAN, vote for whom they please.
Every mans liberty will disappear
when tie leaders of the great Labor
Trust orany other trust can ride rough
shod owe people and mass their forces
to prevat our courts from affording
protectia.
