American people. When the unions
claim the right to dictate to the Gov
ernment and to dominate the American
people and deprive the American people
of the necessities of life, then the Gov
ernment will destroy the unions, for the
Government of the United States Is SUI
preme and must endure No labor lead
er or oapitalistic leader. no organization
or association Of any kind or kinds or
combination of the same will be per-
mitted by the Government OF the United
States to laugh in the frozen faces of
furnishing people without prompt
prosecution and proper punishment.
There is ample authority in the laws
of this country to support the court in
the issuance of the restraining order
prayed for in this proceeding. All mo-
dern decisions support the authority OF
the Government laid down more ex-
haustively and forcefully in the Debs
case. 15S U. s. 564, than probably in any
other particular case decided by any
court. In that case many of the serious
cffenses complained of in the case at
bar wore involved.
THE right to work in this country is
as sac-ed as the right not to be COM
PEELED to work. II man is not disposed
to do so, and every man must be made
equally secure in his choice. take
notice of the fact that in the Legislative
branch of the Government the situation
is deemed 50 serious that the taking over
OF the railroads by the Government is
considered necessary. 1 do not believe
that time has yet come.
"The Government has not reached the
point where 1t will admit its inability
to protect the rightful owners of prop
erty in their right to use that property
for the general welfare of the whole
people and to require the owners of the
railroads to furnish that service which
is essential to the life of commerce, to
the life of industry, to human life and
even to the very life Of the Government
itself
Shall the American people suffer;
shall property be destroyed; shall laws
be broken; shall society be disorganized; |;
shall prosperity and all labor cease and
the poor be in want because employers
and employees engaged in interstate
commerce, obligated to the Government
and to the people or the United States
by a greater obligation than that which
rests upon any other set of men in the
country, because OF dispute between
them refuse to obey the law? No. the
answer by the Government is that IL
they cannot agree others VIII be given
the privilege and protection of perform
ing this service who will agree with
the Government and obey the laws Of
Government"
