I patient and awaiting to see II the OBJ
| ject lesson which they have been
forced to give to these leaders is going
! to be recognized and IL they are going
| to conform themselves and their flu
ture work and actions in accordance
| thereto"
Let the people remember that COM
ment, 1.-THE Federation of Labor in
particular stands before the bar Of
public opinion having been convicted
of selfishness and disposition to rule
all the people of the country in the
interest of the few"
The great 80 per cent. of Ameri-
cans do not take kindly to the acts of
| tyranny by these trust leaders openly
demanding that all people bow down
to the rules of the Labor Trust, and
we are treated to the humiliating
| the Chief Executive entertaining these
convicted law-breakers and listening
with consideration 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
have come to know the truth about
these martyrs sacrificing themselves
in the noble cause of labor" but it's
only the historical ones who swell up
and cry over the aforesaid heroes,
reminding one of the two romantic
elderly maids who, weeping copiously,
were discovered by the old janitcr 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 it privilege to come here
and weep at his tomb"
"Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has de-
sire to express yo' sympathy, but yo'
are overfowin' 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 work.
ers 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 de-
mand of Congress that the courts be
stripped of power to. issue injunctions
to prevent them from assaulting or
perhaps numbering men who dare
earn living when ordered by the La
Dor 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 in
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 Or
ganized and paid men of this great
trust to force Congress to believe they
represent the great masses of the
American people. Say your say and
let your representatives In Congress
know that you do not want to- be gov
erned under new laws which would
empower the Labor Trust leaders
with legal right to tell you when to
work, Where! 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 Representa-
tives plainly that you don't want them
to vote for any measure that will al
low any set of men either represent
ing Capital or Labor to govern and
dictate to the common people. who
prefer to be free to 60 and come.

please.
Every mans 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 aiHording protection.
There's Reason"
