Show THE CONTRACT. . Yqu don't have to read law to come to the conclusion that the rock bottom foundation of business, social life and civilisation is the contract v.iil rcs-e t for agreements and obli-lered obli-lered into. Yet in New York printers . and .longshoremen's strike,, the coal strike and the railroad strike in the west md other s'rikes too numerous to 'mention, and contract obl',"ations of organized labors were deliberately .violated. The attitude of labor leaders was: I "To hell with the public, with our promise, with our contract and with common honesty. We will get what we want by force, na ir anyoady interferes with us we will smash him."' i This is the sort of thing the people Will not stand for. i .We finish with the German autocrat auto-crat and we have not come home to knuckle to a worse autocrat. Those who urge the workers to violate their contracts are the workers' work-ers' worst enemies. |
