THREE HERE5IEs REBUKED.

 Labor has given it's unqualified indorsement to the safeguarding of American rights at home and abroad. The organized workers anxious to offer the that in them for the maintenance of justice and order within and without the nation
 That single paragraph sums up the answer to several unparioc hereses. It rebukes first of all the heresy that labor has interest in the war V boldly announced by l. w. w. leaders several re cent occasions.
 It rebules the heresy that American rights not be supported abroad by force, if necessary, well as at home That is the heresy thai vitiates all the arguments and proesations of those who say they would invasion but object to sending Americans abroad to fight.
 It rebukes lastly the heresy that man has a right live this country, to enjoy the privileges of it's free citizenship to appeal to it's constitution and it's courts protection and yet corresponding obligation to help protect the country in it's hour of danger
