which the demands Of radical labor
are regarded as superior to the laws
of our country and superior to the
moral laws of God Himself. And this
is written without one thought of bit
terness to union men per sc, for
among them are tens of thousands of
splendid, honest, God-saving patri-
OTIS; but we are dealing only with
the false leadership of radical Off
Gals often controlled by the aliens
in this country who cannot speak a
word of our language and who would
gladly overturn our government.
Against such false leaders and
false teachers we appeal to the good
men of labor unions to come out in
this hour of turmoil and world crisis
and exert their fullest power to guide
their fellowmen and all other men
into a saner, safer, broader spirit of
cooperation and friendship, that
peace and harmony may once more
prevail in our country and men
everywhere go forward for the de-
velopment of a broader civilization
and wider prosperity.
The man who joins in, or approves
the work of mobs which maltreat and
murder free labor men, merely be-
cause they are willing to work, is
himself a murderer, and more. He
would not only murder the individual
man, but he would murder human
liberty, and murder all that civiliza-
ton has struggled through the CEN
turtles to attain. The mark of Cain
is upon every man who thus con-
hives at, condones or commits muir
der of the free labor man merely be-
cause he is a nom union man. Every
such man helps to instill murder into
the heart of his wife and children,
and they are led to become in heart
haters of and murderers of their fell
lowmen.
This is the road down which the
radical labor leaders are leading tens
of thousands of honest intentioned,
but misguided and mistaught men
toward that hell, individually and
nationally, which is created wherever
the unbridled passions and hatreds
of men are given full sway.-Manu-
