each morning! It's meat and bread
to their souls.
Then think Of the lordly power, and
don't forget the steady flow of money
squeezed from the workman's hard
earned pay enevelope.
But when these leaders "tie up" any.
industry no man can hold Job who
refuses to pay fines even on trumped
up charges, and steadily pay fees
whatever they are.
The workman is absolutely st1the
mercy Of this band OF men wh& i've
secured and hold control.
Many and many an honest wo1E6iSn
has raised his voice and appea16d to
his fellows to rise and throw OF the
yoke Of Gompers, ct al. But e one

American Federation Of Labor. strong
opposition comes up but at the crit

In both cases ia entirely selfish to
gain power and money for the leaders.
