the right to if I the circumstances are ate properly made In the bill billand and says rs you OU shall not force unwholesome persuasion upon them under these cir circumstances circumstances ps Now at any time that you OU meet these men In the ordinary course curse you TOU have hae the right to persuade them to Join your unions a perfect right And Mid if lC you can show to them that it tt itIs Is

otherwise Some Sonic Make Threats Now Xo that in a general way is the thelmi limit of oC this his thing I take tak it I men that you OU know that when a large body bod bodor of or o men get together with wih the most p pa ful and declared purposes In the world but they have bae men among them who have made and are making threats and they the are close to another and smaller body of men who do not think as they do and hold a ratification and ad rejoicing r meeting on their own side sido that has ha a a different effect under those circumstances on the minds of ot th the men who desire to go on
