Never before in our history have. there existed conditions which called so loudly for a united legislative action. The misguided industrial leaders who would further oppress labor. if they could. are eager to take advantage of the surplus of man power. They should be defeated by an act of Congress shortening the hours of labor to five days a week and restricting immigration to the least possible minimum. The thoughtless oppressors of labor should see the handwriting on the wall. for it is written there that if the labor movement in this country under present sane leadership should fail. the inevitable end is communism and the destruction of our present industrial and economic system and those small souls who are wandering in the darkness will be the first to fall victims of their own folly.
