The labor unions of America have accomplished many good things for the workers, work-ers, and the purposes for which they were originally established are above reproach, but too often of-ten nowadays unions are used to create power for the sole benefit of a few self-chosen officers.. of-ficers.. The workingmen of this country should realize that a dictated democracy is not a democracy de-mocracy of freedom. It is not even a democracy, but is tyranny." tyr-anny." Our "bureau-burdened government" gov-ernment" is not a democracy, Mr. Lee said in another speech. "We are slowly getting away from government by law as guaranteed to us by the Constitution Con-stitution and are being ruled more and more by regulations. These regulations are not laws passed upon those we have elected to represent us but are merely whims of some bureaucrat bureau-crat who is appointed to office and reigns there year after year forcing on us his own political po-litical and social philosophies." In defense of the Constitution, Constitu-tion, Mr. Lee said, "The men who established this country and developed the Constitution did so because they believed in escaping from an oppressive government which was top-heavy with regulations and taxation. taxa-tion. These men believed in the freedom of men and the sovereignty sov-ereignty of the individual.
