over 500 members in the national law

three in the senate and six in the
house-voted in favor of excluding
organized government employees from
retirement benefits, as provided in the
retirement bill just passed.
But nine lawmakers were willing to
go on record against a fundamental
right, after lengthy campaign of Vi
turepation and Misrepresentation
against organized labor that is un-
equalled in the history of the Amer
can congress. The purpose of this
campaign was to create a public senti-
ment thatwould make possible the pas
sage of an anti-strike law and sedi-
tion legislation that could be used to
block all agitation Of the workers for
better conditions.
These enemies of labor were ii
clover few months ago, and were ac-
claimed as patriotic" by every cheap
labor element Organized labor is now
arranging to retire these enemies to
private life, and the present scheme
TO postpone anti-strike legislation
until the next congress will be fur
