Don't Weep At
The Ice House.

see II the object lesson which the}
have been forced to give to these lead
ers is going to be recognized and If the{
are going to conform themselves an}
their future work and actions in aq
cordance thereto"
Let the people remember that coulI
ment, 1T Federation of Labor in pan
ticular stands before the bar of PUBLIC
opinion having been convicted of sefI
fishness and disposition to rule al,
the people of the country in the inter-
est of the few"
do not take kindly to the acts Of
demanding that all people bow down ID
the rules of the Labor Trust 4; wd
are treated to the humiliating j. lectaI
Gle of our Congress and even the Chief
Executive entertaining these convicted
law-breakers and listening with consid1
Grafton to their insolent demands thai
the very laws be changed to allow
them to safely carry on their plan Of
gaining control over the affairs of thu
people.
The sturdy workers of America havel
come to know the truth about thesa
martyrs sacrificing themselves In thd
noble cause of labor" but it's only thd
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 1t privilege to come here and
weep at his tomb
"Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has desire
to express yo' sympathy but yo are
overflowin' 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
If you have any surplus sympathy it
can be extended to the honest workers
who continue to earn food when threat
ened and 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 injunc pns
haps numbering men who dalV1 1aTn
living 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
your Representatives and Senators IL
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 wrlts
now.
Don't sit silent and allow the organ
lied and paid men of this great trusA
to force Congress to believe they rep
resent the great masses of the Amer
ican people. Say your say and let
your representatives In Congress know
that you do not want to be governed
under new laws which would empower
the Labor Trust leaders with Legal
right to tell you when to work. Whers
For whom! At what price! What to
buy! What not to buy! Whom to
vote for! How much you shall pay
per month In fees to the Labor Trust
etc, etc. etc.
This power is now being demanded
by the passage Of laws In Congress.
Tell your Senators and Represent.
tives plainly that you don't want then
to vote for any measure that will ALLOW
any set of men either representa-
Capital or Labor to govern and die
tate to the common people. who prefer
to be free to go and come. work or
not and vote for whom they please.
Every mans liberty will disappear
when the leaders of the great Labor
Trust or any other trust can ride rougn
shod over people and mass their forces
10 prevent our courts from affordins
protection.
There's Reason"
