Blueprint For Victory

There is no logical reason why men should not be
compelled to work for their country in time of war,
for labor is as essential to effort fighting.
The man who refuses to work is as guilty OF
treason as the man who refuses to fight
At this hour there is no mddleground every man
is either for his country against it. He is willing
to sacrifice all he has gained the past to secure the
future he seeks to protect his past gains by sactce
of the future.
In time of war nothing is important but victory
and nothing is important to victory than unity
united country where each man bears his share OF
the responsibility DANGER prvatOn and sacrifices but
no more. He will fight work to death in the knoWl
edge that he is not being betrayed by his countrymen
These are the simple, great principles upon Which
this democracy is founded; the principles upon which
it will stand
Yet Washington lolls in it's opium smoke OF
false Importance and ignores the critical truth.
ItignOres the fact that men on the battle line earn
S21 per month, fighting and dying "a hours daily,
while the men in munition factories who make Tor
fail to make) the fighters guns are displeased at
the prospect of working more than 4O hours per
week. 1t ignores the pain, heartache and suffer
ing of families who have given sons, brothers,
husbands and fathers to fight, while concentrate
ing attention on the wage-scale demanded by
labor racketeers
How can Washington longer close its eyes or look
away from injustice? Our country is at war How
can any be stupid enough to believe the people
Of this nation going to continue federation OF the
ldDOr-aX1S! DlOOu is Lowing OH CHo Odlllt1lc1Uo,
there is no longer time for arbitration.
Why should labor be accorded any more privileges
than the men who are giving their lives for these
United States? Washington knows that organized
labor under its present leadership is cancer on the
heart of America We must get we'll to fight The
people are not deceived today.
When our nations capitol awakens from it's leth-
argy it will be undergoing political bood-ettng.
Nothing stand in the path of country aroused as
the United States is aroused today The public will
forget and forgive thousand mistakes but it will
always remember the betrayal of laboreaders in its
hour of peril It will always remember the politicians
who made possible the mephitic atrocities.
Now the die has been cast and the truth is cooled
Labor -racketeers have shown their true colors and
dared to before nation of Wartense people to
unfurl their yellow standards.
Washington has dared to Justify labor's &C
tion but the people will not be appeased. 1t is
impossible to Justify man who is trying to slit
your throat while known enemy holds gun at
your back. America has already felt the knife;
it will not stand with hands down.
The country now knows that the first en-
blem it must defeat is not the rising sun or the
swastika, but the dollar sign.
Now the nation is that we cannot win any
war until every man who wants to work, can work as
many hours and for any pay.
Every sincere, patriotic laborer in this naton
observes the right to work without paying tribute to
