The Ice House.

Let the people remember that COM
ment, "The Federation of Labor in par
ticular stands before the bar of public
opinion having been convicted of sef-
fishness and a disposition to rule all
the people of the country in the inter-
est of the few"
The great 80 per cenf of Americans
do not take kindly II the acts of
tyranny of these 4rusF leaders openly
demanding that asfpebple bow down to.
the rules of the Latpr Trust and wa
are treated to the hpmiliating spectaf
Gle of our Congress and even the Chief
Executive entertaining these convicted
law-breakers and listening with consid-
Grafton 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 Americs have
come to know the truth about these
martyrs sacrificing themselves in the
noble cause of labor" but it's f6ply the
hysterical ones who swRn up and cry
over the aforesaid "herdHs," reminding
one of the two romantic Nelderly maids,
who, weeping copiously, Were discoV-j

Don't get maudlin about law-br
ers who must be punished If the
existence of our people is to be m
tanned.
If you have any surplus sympathy
can be extended to the honest worket
who continue to earn food when threat
ened and are frequently hurt and
sometimes killed before the courts cad
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
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
your Representatives and Senators in
Congress asking them not to vote for

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 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, WhcreI

This power is now being demanded
by the passage of laws In Congress.
Tell your Senators and Representa-
tiYes plainly that you don't want them
to vote for any measure that win 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 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
sbod over people and mass their forces
to prevent our courts from aiforaing
protection.
