Show COAL STRIKE MASSACRE. At Ilerrin, III., last week two score or more non-uniun inin.ers were murdered mur-dered in cold blood , by a mob of alleged al-leged union miners ami ..sympathizers. Press reports say: "Tracks, building.- and hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of equipment were dynamited as today's battle .. closed . f.hortly before noon, amid the hilarious hilari-ous whoops of 2,000 bloody (hunk miners and the admiring plaudits of their women folks." A national effort is being made to condemn and forever stamp out the disloyal propaganda and teachings that are primarily responsible for such horrifying and un-American outbreaks. The questions involved in this whole situation are shall the government govern-ment or the labor unions ru'c, and shall independent labor, not belonging belong-ing to the unions, be protected in the legitimate exercise and enjoyment of its constitutional right to work unmolested? un-molested? Shall employers of labor 1" protected in the exercise of their right to conduct their own businesses :nd employ whomsoever they please without regard to the employe's affiliation af-filiation or non-affiliation with any labor union or other organization cf any character? |
