 Let Labor be thankful that it has been the one factor in main taining in America the right to organize. It has fought for and established the great principle of collective bargaining.
 Let Labor be thankful that 1t has shown legislatures that per nicious laws, called "anti- strike" laws and other un- American measures have been defeated thereby again pre- venting slavery in the United
 Let Labor be thankful that it has, since the war, recovered it's full rights. American Labor mas been great factor 1n main taining the rights which were guaranteed by the constitution. It has stopped many attempts to deprive the people of free dom of speech, freedom of the press and other liberties sacred to every true American
 Let Labor be thankful that it has not only successfully fought the greedy interests that would crush trade-unionism from with out, but 1t has destroyed the in- fuence that is trying to tear it down by boring from within.
 Labor can be thankful for the numerous loyal labor .newspa- pers which champion it's cause sometimes in trying circum- stances Ii is thankful for nu-- merous independent newspapers and other periodicals which have been fair in their attitude toward labor.
