WY are union members required
pathies above their obligations as
citizens
tAnother Barr lie. Union mem.
hefs take no such oath or ehligation.l
Ne ask.
Why are members Of certain manu-.
faeturers associations required TO
agree 10 campaigns against estab.
lished organizations OF labor for col
leetise bargaining with the under.
standing that individual members
shall protect their own poeketbeoks
BY making contracts With labor or
CARNATIONS until an opportunity pre-
sents itself 10 violate these contracts
With impunity and TO destroy, If pos.

protection Why are such ethics en-
couraged when individual members
know they are not for the best inter-
| ests Of the community Why do Ger.
tain employers sign contracts not TO
sell materials TO concerns employing
union labor?
In addition. we ask.
Why are employers organizations
promulgating propaganda about the
shortage of labor In the United States
when the Secretary of Labor states,
as a matter of fact and as result
Of investigation, that there are now
5000 600 unemployed In the country,
and while the Presidents unemplny
ment Conference Is still at work on
remedy for future unemployment
to prevent the suffering and the in.
dustfial chaos Of the past few years
Why are employers organizations
lobbying in congress and prostitute
ing the press TO destroy existing leg
islation so as 10 open the food gates
of immigration, completely ignhfs
ing all the facts In the case and the
Investigations Of the past, taking q
position dramatically opposed To that
of students of the question on con-
gressional committees ON immigra-
/ ton, paying no heed to scientific In

a measure for the protection of Amer

Our Challenge:
We are in favor of every and all
inquiries that viii establish truth in
matters of industrial dispute and mis-
understanding We challenge the
good faith Of the National Founders
in their insinuating declarations and
in their demand for an investigation.
| They have asked questions not TO Sc
cure facts but TO make unsupported
and false charges. This Is cheap
trickery.
We challenge the organized labor
hating employers of the country to
lay facts on the table before any inn
| partial tribunal or commission. La
/ Dor will answer all questions honest
! b and fully, Our proposal Is that
representatives Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the United
States Chamber of Commerce meet 10
agree upon a proposal for the efea-
ton Of fair commission and that
this agreement be passed upon as fair
by the Federal Council of Churches,
the National Catholic Welfare Conn-
ell, the Authors League, and the Ma
tional Federation of Women's Clubs.
Under such fair plan so approved
/ let commission be constituted. We
challenge the National Founders and
every other organization and corpora
! ton of anti-trade union employers to
a show down Of truth. viii they
accept
