Don't Weep At
The Ice House.

going to conform themselves and their
future work and actions in accordance
thereto
Let the people remember that COM
ment, THE Federation of Labor in
particular stands before the bar of
public opinion having been convicted
of selfishness and a disposition to rule
all the people of the country in the
interest of the few"
The great 80 per cent. of Americans
do not take kindly to the acts of tyran-
ny by these trust leaders openly de-
handing that all people bow down to
the rules of the Labor Trust and we
Gle of our Congress and even 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
hysterical ones who swell up and cry
over the aforesaid heroes" remind
ing one of the two romantic elderly
maids who. weeping copious1y, were
discovered by the old janitor 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 a de-
sire to express yo' sympathy but yo'
are overflowin' 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 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
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 go and come,
work or not, and vote for whom they
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 af-
fording protection.
There's a Reason"
