OF laboring men are crying for exemption
from punishment for law-breaking.
In this particular case the Prcsiden,
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 ex.
emption from prosecution when they
break the law of conspiracy, and they thus
sought to be free to drive millions Of free
worklnen into idleness.
These freemen will not soon forget the
effort their representatives in Congress to
force them into the irksome slavery Of the
big Labor Trust which seeks to dictate
trst, monthly fees, then, when and where
they can work, for whom, or what wages
and how long.
That kind of hand tying" is not rel
lshed 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 ordered on strike
from time to time and made to boycott,
picket and act as law-breakers at the be-
hest of the leaders fighting to hold power
over them.
How can the citizen and free man
protect HIMSELF"

your constituents in their freedom, un-
controlled by any set OF men either of

any combination privilege or power to
dictate to other citizens. We will support

jority of the people if 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
ITS local managers to continued activity,
While the plain every day citizen says
nothing, having no organization.
Experience in the past has shown that
the great big factor known as the "com.
mon man. may not be SO quick as local
Labor Trust leaders to write his Con-
gresham for protection, yet he reads and
votes; that is why many candidate who
thought he could help push through trust

gain or control Of the average citizen has
met defeat when he comes up for re.elec-
ton.
y No one leads the common people. but
they are neither fools nor children, and
they are at least 90 per cent. in the ma
jority. Many new and peaceful organiza.
