and actions in accordance thereto"
Let the people remember that eoro.
ment. ''The Federation of Labor In mar
ticular stands before the bar OF public
opinion having been convicted OF sell
hshness and disposition to rule ali the
people OF the country in the interest ~
the few"
The great 90 per cent Of Americans
do not take kindly to tho acts OF tyranny
ny these trust leaders openly demand
ing that all people bow down 10 the rules
OF the Labor Trust and we are treated to
the humiliating spectacle Of our Congress
ana even the Chief Executive entertain
ing these convicted law-breakers and
listening with consideration 70 their IN
soient demands that the very laws be
changed to allow them 20 safely carry
on their plan Of gaining control over
the affairs Of the people.
The sturdy workers OF America have
come 10 know the truth about these
martyrs sacrificing themselves in tho
noble cause OF labor" but it's only the
hystericai ones who swell up and cry
over the aforesaid heroes" reminding
one of the two romantic elderly maids
who, weeping ooplously. were discovered
by the old janitor at Mt. Vernon.
What is il 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 a privilege 10 come here and weer
at his tomb"
"Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has a desire
to express yo' sympathy but yo' are
overfiowin' at de wrong spot, yo' is
weepin' at de ice house"
I Don't get maudlin about law-breakers

! II you have any surplus sympathy II
can be extended TO the honest workers
who continue to earn food when threat.
ened and are frequently hurt and some.
times killed before the courts can inter.

Now the Labor Trust leaders demand
/ Of Congress that the courts be strippet
OF power to issue injunctions 10 prevent
them from assaulting or perhaps muir.
dering men who dare earn a uvinc
when ordered by the Labor Trust TO ouil
work.

Representatives and Senators IN Congress
asking them not TO vote for any measur,
to prevent the courts T. protectin,
homes. property and persons from az
tack by paid agents OF this great Labo
Trust.
Let every reader write, and WRITE
NOW.
Don't sit silent and allow the organ
lied and paid men OF this great trust {,
force Congress TO believe they represen
the great masses OF the American peo
pie. Say your say and let your represen
tatives in Congress know that you do no
want 20 be governed under new law
which would empower the Labor Trus

shod over people and mass their force
} to prevent our courts from affordin
protection.
There's a reason"
