of greater consequence than rights
attaching TO property.
BY abuse of the injunction pro-
cess and by perversion and misin-
depreciation of the Sherman anti
trust law organizations of workers
have been forbiddem to strike, TO
discuss or publish facts concerning
conditions of work, TO pay strike
benefits to striking members, to
persuade others to join the cause of
the strikers. To prevent such in
Engagements upon the rights of free
men there was incorporated in H.
R. 1867 sections 1928, what con-
stitutes Labor's Bill of Rights.
These sections provide regula-
tions for the issuance of injunctions
and restrict the scope of the injunc-
tive process.
The right to withhold labor pow
er or to withhold patronage has
been denied on the ground that it
interfered with the employers S
property rights. But an employer
can have no property rights in the
patronage of free man. Patronage
implies voluntary choice bestowed
wherever it pleases the purchaser
and withdrawn at his pleasure. If
this patronage Is personal matter,
a personal right, how can its with
drawal constitute an unlawful act?
| The dealer thereby may be aggriev-
ed and may suffer loss, but he can
not claim legal right to the pa
tronage of any man.
Free men have the right to be-
stow or withhold their babor and
their patronage whenever or wher
ever they may wish. To gainsay
this right is to deny freedom.
Labor power and patronage are
what make the workman effective
effective and forceful.- they consti-
tute his principal protection and
means of self-expression. They
must be guarded as the founnation
of individual freedom, the precious
birthright of man free to be him
self and to possess his own soul.
Not only must the theoretical
right to bestow or withhold labor
power and patronage be maintain,
ed, but this must be given reality
and effectiveness by permitting men
to pursue Legitimate courses of &C
ton in exercising this right. II
the end Is lawful and worthy, ther
the moral means for attaining that
end must also be recognized as le
gal and necessary.-Sam'l Comp

labor power, which is indissolubly
bound up with life itself, they form
no trust and do not interfere with
interfere with interstate commerce.
Under laws applying to free peo-
pie, Withholding of later power or
patronage cannot constitute illegal
acts. l can conceive of no dissent
from this fundamental truth, that
man s labor power and his patron
age are part of himself and cannot
be coerced directly by compulsion
or indirectly by means of penalties
without making him slave. All
relations between employers and
employees must be construed in ac-
cordance with this fundamental
truth if freedom is to sbtain.
Under present conditions of COM
binattons and concentration of the
employing INTEREST," industrial free
dom is impossible for individual
workers. Wherever unfreedom
gains a hold a deadly influence be-
gins undermining the freedom OF
all.
Only organization can secure to
the workers an opportunity to have
