see If 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 &C.
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 a 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 h%umiliating specta-
Gle OF our Congress and even tho Chief
Executive entertaining these convicted
l~aw-breakers and listening with tonsid-
GRAFTON to their insolent demands that
b very laws be changed to allow
them to safely carry IN 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 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 discov-
cred 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 a privilege to come here and
weep at his tomb"
"Yas'm, yas'm, yO' shore has a desire
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 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-
mand. of Congress that the courts be
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
Congress asking them not to vote for
onv noocrro RI rrorynrf tho oo,,t.fo
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 ard let
your representatives in Congress know
that you do not want to be governed
under new laws which would empows or
the Labor Trust leaders with legal
right to tell you when to work, WhereI
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 Trustl
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 allow
any set of men either representing
| Capital or Labor to govern and die
tate to the common people, who prefer
to be free to go and come, work or
not land 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 I'VE people and mass their forces
to prevent our courts from affording
protection.
There's a Reason"
