Could it be that the administration so obligated cannot or will not act in the interest of all of the American people? And what would become of the labor movement in America if capital decided to adopt the same tactics legally aa labor haa been permitted for the last eight years? Who actually pays the increased wages that union racketeers have been squeezing out of industry? Is it the share and bond holders or is it those families who pay rent and buy consumer goods? Is the laborer worthy of his hire—shOuld be not be discharged for incompetency—and should he not be permitted to choose the job he likes best without paying a fee to get the job plus continued extortions to hold it? Is the organization that foments strikes which throw thousands of other workers out of jobs? less despicable than the foreign saboteur who would scuttle our defense efforts by destroying war producing material mills and factories? Is our constitution to be continued to be flouted—our bill of rights to become nullified by the representatives of the people in congress who seemingly sit by and do as they are told by a few men who keep them a unadvised of what is really happening as is the oridinary citizen?
