Thc American Federation Of Labor

to us to be fraught with many dangers.
1t proposes to curb the power Of the
denying to IL the right to interpret the
laws as passed by the Congress. 1t
seems to us that this strikes at tno
basic principles OF the Republic anu

there are constitutional restraints to
the power Of tho majority and constitu
tional safeguards for the rights of the
minority. When you remove either OF
these safe guards, you cndanger tho
life OF the republic itself and make a
bid for anarchy, that Is for irrespon-
Siblo government.
