THE AMERICAN Way

statewide and countrywide,
to turn back the tides of col
lectivism and preserve the
sanctity of the labor move
ment. These citizens are as
capable of judging facts and
trends as are their educators
and even when they are not,
they can look to as many ed
ucators who have their wits
about them as to those whose
minds have already swooned in
the first fragrant breezes from
laborism's collectivist utopia"
We still have our legisla-
lures to elect and we still can
demand from our representa-
tives that they hold the fort of
Americanism against its labor
istic foes who would herd us
into their pens and sell Us
down the river to society
bullt on compulSlOn.
But of chief Importance to
us in our resistance to the cur
rent assault is the Supreme
Court of United States the
custodians and interpreters of
our Federal Constitution, our
public conscience, if you
please. 1t is essential that new
union-shop cases be brought
before this august body, in
hope and in confidence that
the issue will stand forth
clearly and that the law will
be found where it lies.
There are thousands of such
cases building up today-cases
of individual American work
ers who have been compelled
to sacrifice their birthrights of
life, liberty, property and the
pursuit of happiness because
they refused to toe a specious
mark and yeild to the new Ia
borism's collectivist tyranny.
To help bring such cases be-
fore our final bar Of jusice is
the duty of every pro-Ameri-
can organization that can pos
sibly be aroused-and a job for
skilled, conscientious attor-
neys.
The Constitution still holds
aloft the great body Of Ameri-
can principle and conscience
and the Court still sits to apply
that principle to the situations
brought before it,
If the thinking of the Court
was wise enough and brave
enough to find the Constitu-
ton a bar to those who would
thWart labor's inherent right
to organize, | believe we can
count upon that same brave
wisdom to find Constitutional
bars to those who now would
use the labor movement to
bring about a new and anti
American social order based
on mass coercion and the eX-
tinction Of the Individual. If
only to save the unions from
themselves and from their ty-
rannical leaders, | firmly be-
lieVe the day will soon come
when the Supreme Court of
the United States will declare
the union shop to be uncon-
