see II the object lesson which they
have been forced to give to these lead
ers is going to be recognized and If they
are going to conform themselves and
their future work and actions in 90
cordance thereto"
Let the people remember that COM
ment, 1.-THE Federation of Labor in par
ticular stands before the bar of public
opinion having been convicted of SET
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 VI America have
come to know the truth about these
martyrs So crihcing 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 1t 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 desire
to express yo' sympathy but yo' are
overflowin' at de wrong spot, yo' II
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 mai1l-
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-

stripped of power to issue injunctions
to prevent them from assaulting or per-
haps numbering men who dare earn
a 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
,N1N a..
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 write
now.
Don't sit silent and allow the organ
lied and paid men of this great trust
to force Congress to believe they rep
resent the great masses of the Amer
lean people. Say your say and lot
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
light to tell you when to work, Wherel
For whom! At what pricei What to
Duyl What not to buyi Whom to
vote for! How much you shall pay
per month in fees to the Labor Trusti
etc, etc, etc.
This power is now being demanded
by the passage of laws in Congress.
Fell your Senators and Representa-
ives plainly that you don't want them
o vote for any measure that will allow
my set of men either representing
Capital or Labor to govern and die
ate to the common people. who prefer
o be free to go and come. work OF
lot and vote for whom they please.
Every mans liberty will disappear
When the leaders Of the great Labor
rust or any other trust can ride rough
hod over people and mass their forces
o prevent our courts from affording
protection
There's a Reason"
