ing to see if the objcct-lcsson which they
have been forced to give to these leaders
is going to be recognized, and If they are

Let the people remember that COM
mcnt, The Federation of Labor in par
ticular stands before the bar OF public
opinion having been convicted of selfish
ness and disposition to rule all the people
OF the country in the interest of the few
The great 90 per cent. OF Americans
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 spectacle OF our Congress
and even the Chief Executive entertaining
these convicted law-breakers and listening
with consideration TO their insolcnt de-
mands 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
conc to know the truth about these mar
tyrs sacrificing themselves in the noble
cause of labor, but its only the hystcrical
ones who swell up and cry over the aiorc-
said heroes" reminding one OF the two
romantic elderly maids Who, weeping cop-
ously, were discovered by the old janitor
at Mt, Vernon.

Taking the handkerchief from one swol-

why we have so long reyered the mem
DRY of George Washington that we feel it

tomb.
"Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has desire
to express 70 sympathy, but 70 arc. over
flown at de wrong spot-yo' is weepin
at de icc-housc."
Don't get maudlin about law-brcakcrs,
who must be punished If the very exist
ence OF our people is to be maintained
ii 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 convene to pro-
tect them.
Now the Labor Trust leaders demand
OF Congress that the courts be stripped OF
power TO issue injunctions to prevent
them from assaulting or perhaps murder

| Don't weep at the ice house" and
don't permit any set of aw-breakers to
bully our courts il your voice and vote can
prevent, Be sure and write your Repre-
sentatlves and Senators in Congress ask
! ing them not to vote for any measure to
prevent the courts from protecting homes,
property and persons from attach, by paid
agents OF this great Labor Trust.
Let every reader write, and write now.
! Don sit silent and allow the organized
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 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 price!
What TO buyl What not To buy! Whom
to vote for! How much you shall pay per
mouth in fees TO the Labor Trust! etc,
etc, etc
This power is now being demanded BY
the passage OF laws in Congress. Ieil
your Senators and Representatives plainly
that you don't want them to 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 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 sllod
over people and mass their forces to pre-
vent our courts from atfording protection,
