feattrtes are concerned, are predicated
upon the Lever act, a law enacted by
congress for the purpose of prevent
ing speculation and profiteering of the
food and fuel supplise of the country.
There never was in the minds of the
congress in enacting that law or in
the minds of the President when he
signed it, that the Lever act would be
- applied to workers in cases of strikes
- or lockouts. Every assurance from
the highest authority of our govern
e ment was given that the law would
r not be so applied.
L in the course of President Wilson's
- address to the Buffalo convent ion of
d the American F'edera lion of Labor,
d November, 1917. among other things
d he said:
"While 'we are fighting for freedom,
y we must see among other things that
n1 labor is free, and that means a nun
e her of interesting things. It means
- that only we must do what: we
have deciared our purpose to do, see

but also that we shall see to it that
the Instrumentalities by which the
conditions of labor are improved are
not blocked or checked. That we must
do."
'Phe autocratic action of our gov
ernment In these proceedings Is of
such a nature that it staggers the hu
man mind. In a free country to con
ceive of a government applying for
and obtain a restraining order pro
hibiting the ofilcials of a labor organ
ization from contributing their own
money for the purpose of procuring
food for women and children that
might be starving, is something that,
when known 'will shock the sensibili
tie sof men and will cause resentment.
Surely the thousands of men who are
lying in France under the soil, whoso
blood was offered for the freedom of
the world, never dreamed that so

We declare that the proceedings in

unparalleled in the history of our
