The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-01-02

if the object lesson which they have
been forced to give to these leaders
is going to be recognized and if they
are. going to conform themselves and
their future work and actions In ac-
eordance thereto,P
ment, 1.-The Federation Of Labor in
particular stands before the bar Of
public opinion, having been convicted
OF selishness and n disposition to rule
all the people of the country in the in.
terest or the few, -
The great 80 per cent of Americans
do not take kindly to the acts of
tyranny by these trust leaders openly
demanding that all people bow down 70
the rules of the Labor Trust, and we
are treated TO the humiliating spectacle
of our congress, and even the chief
executive entertaining these convicted
law-breakers and listening with con
slderation 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 havo
come TO know the truth about these
martyrs sacrificing themselves in the
noble cause of labor but il IS only the
hysterlcal ones who swell up and cry
over the aforesaid "heroes, 3" reminding
one of the two romantic elderly maids
who. weeping copiously, were discovered
by the old janitor al Mt. Vernon,
What is it ails you. ladies?''
Taking the handkerchief from one
swollen red eye, between sabs she said !:
Why, we have Sc long revered the
memory of George Washington that we
feel IL a privilege to come here and
weep Mt his tomb
f'Yes IN. vas M, yo' shore has de-
sire to express yo sympathy, but yo'
are overhowin' 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
maintained
If You have any surplus sympathy it
can be extended to the honest workers
who continue to earn food when
threatened. and are frequently hurt
and sometimes killed before the courts
can intervene TO protect them.
Now the Labor Trust leaders demand
Of congress that the courts bo stripped
of power to issue iniunctions to pre-.
vent them from assaulting or perhaps
numbering men who dare earn q living
when ordered by the Labor Trust to
quit work
"Don't weep at the Ice House" and
don Z 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 in
congress, asking them not to vote for
any measure to prevent the conrts from
protecting homes, property and persons
from attack by paid agents of this
great Labor Trust
Let every reader write, and write
now.
Don't sit silent and allow the orga-
nlzed aud paid men of this great trust
to force congress TO believe thay repre-.
sent the great masses Of the American
people. Say your say and let Your rep
resentatives 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 Where! For whom,
AT what pficel Whnt TO buyl 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 senator's and representatives
vote for any measure that will allow
any set Of men, either representing
Capital or Labor to govern and dictate
to the common people, who prefer to
he free to go and come, work or not,
and vote for whom they please.
Every man IS liberty will disappear
when the leaders Of the great Labor
Trust or any other trust can ride rough
shod over people and mass their forces
| to prevent our courts from affording
protection
"There Is n renson.''
