izatfon to warn them to notify Con-
gressmen of their wishes and so the
heavy fire comes from but one side
(the Labor Trust side) and thus i'm
presses the members of Congress with
the belief that the whole mass OF la
boring men are crying for exemption
from punishment for aw-breaking.
In this particular case the President
induced Congress to reconsider the
vote and protect the masses from the
proposed tyranny.
Don't forget the issue.
/ The Labor Trust leaders called for
exemption from prosecution when they
4 break the law of conspiracy and they
thus sought to be free to drive millions
OF free workmen into idleness.
These freemen viii not soon forget
the effort of their representatives in
Congress to force them into the irk-
some slavery of the big Labor Trust
which seeks to dictate first, monthly
fees, then, when and where they can
| work, for whom, or what wages and
how long.
That kind OF "hand tying" is not
| relished by the millions OF free men or
by thousands of tiled" men now forced
into membership in order to get jobs
and not be slugged, yet they are or
dered on strike from time to time and
made to boycott, picket and act as
! breakers at the behest of the lead
ers fighting to hold power over them.
How can the citizen and free man
protect himseif?"
Write 10 your Congressman and Sem
ator. address them at home now Say
whenever any measure comes up,
presented by the Labor Trust leaders
ard intended to give them more power
over us, and restrict our liberties,
please protect us by voting 1t down;
anaiyze each measure carefully and
vote only for laws intended TO protect
the great majority Of your constituents
in their freedom, uncontrolled by any
set Of men either of capital or labor.
It is dangerous to give any combina-
tion privilege or power to dictate to
other citizens. We win support you
Ii you protect us. but we must put in
representative who will defend the
majority of the people II you refuse.
Write him and write him now
Don't sit In silence and permit your
liberties to be taken from you because
the big Labor Trust, supported by
fees. stirs it's local managers to con-
tinued activity, while the plain every
day citizen says nothing, having no
orga nlzation.
Experience In the past has shown
that the great big factor known as the
common man" may not be so quick
as local Labor Trust leaders to write
his Congressman for protection, yet he
reads and votes: that is why many a.
candidate who. thought he could help
push through trust laws OF either Capt.
tai or Labor, seeking gain or control
or the average citizen has met defeat
when he comes up for reelection.
No one leads the common people but
they are neither fools nor children and
they are at least 80 per cent In the
majority. Many new and peaceful or
CARNATIONS of labor are being estab-
Iished free from the fee hunting tyran-
