robed strikebreakers and injunction
judges peddling capitalist class jus
tlce and democracy. This is true ne
matter which capitalist party is in
control of the government machinery.
The democratic Attorney General
Palmer led in breaking the ccal strike
IN 1919 by getting out an injunction
against messages of encouragement
or eXhortation" to the miners. The
republican Attorney General Daugh-
erty, co-hero with William ]. Burns.
notorious batting detective. in
the Teapot Dome oil scandal, ordered
the drastic injunction to break the
railroad strike in 1922. The "progres-
slve" democratic Governor Adams of
Colorado and the reactionary repub-
hcan Governor Fisher of Pennsyl-
Vania are both working overtime for
the biggest coal operators to smash
the miners union, to jail and murder
the strikers, and to starve their wives
and children.
Working men and working women!
The dangers are great The threats
are terrible. The capitalists and their
injunction courts are out to rivet The
worst type of employing class slavery
on you. The bosses are out to plum
der the union treasures thru iniunc-
lions levying heavy tribute On unions
organizing workers.
Your voices are being stifled by in
functions. Your unions are being
paralyzed by injunctions. Your best
lighters are being thrown into Jail
by injunctions. Your wives and chill
dren are being starved by iniunc
tiops
The increasing menace of iniunc-
lions gives the lie to the pretense of
llnpartiality on the part of the gov
eminent. 1t gives the lie to the theory
that the American workers can have
the slightest faith in the government
when class interests are involved. The
injunction completely unmasks the
dictatorship of the employing class
over the workers
Fight the Injunction to a Finish.
Workers, the injunction menace
must be fought to a finish or it will
finish all of US. We must break the
injunction blockade against our right
to organize, our right to strike, our
right to- picket and our right to the
pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
If the enemies of the workers get
away with their present Injunction
drive against the workers then every
gain and every right it has taken us
scores of years to win will be wiped
out in quick time.
Working men and women: The
same capitalist courts and judges who
murdered Sacco and Vanzetti. who
are keeping Mooney and Billings in
the California jails, are now handing
down injunction orders to Jail the
miners of Colorado, to evict the min
ers of Ohio, to starve the miners of
Pennsylvania, to terrorize and smash
the union ranks of the New York
traction workers. Already five strik-
ing miners have been killed and twen-
ty wounded in Colorado by the state
rangers in Colorado.
Workers! There is only one way in
while to treat injunction courts and
judges. That way is to show them
outright contempt. Every injunction
Issued must be disregarded and vio-
lated in mass. Every injunction
handed down must be defied. Every
injunction must be broken. No self
respecting working man or woman
should on can obey any injunction
order. Let US speak to our ruling
class the only language they under
stand.
