working conditions. And when any organization asks for those things for the working man, I am with them first last and all the time. And those are the matters which have been the points of tension between capital and labor in past industrial conflicts. But this conflict, Mr. Lewis wants not so much happiness and security for the working man as he wants the closed shop and the check off for the Committee for Industrial Organization, and incalculable power for John L. Lewis. The closed shop and the check off are devices which turn free men into serfs, and they would give Mr. Lewis, unlimited power and resources, more power in fact than it is safe for any man to have if we expect to keep in the future our present democratic and representative form of government. Therefore, I cannot be too emphatic in declaring to you that the citizens' and steel worker's committee of Johnstown is not standing with the corporation and against the union but rather with the laboring man and against his greatest enemy, the Committee for Industrial Organization.

If a tree is known by its fruits then the Committee for Industrial Organization has nothing to offer to working men except servitude, strikes, and sorrow. And the American working man has not a very hopeful future to look forward to until this organization is restrained and made subject to constitutional authority. And it is my own humble prediction that the final overthrow of the Committee for Industrial Organization will come not from the opposition and pressure from the outside, but from the revolt and dissension within the organization itself. For men who have ever known what freedom is are not going to stand forever for being treated as helpless pawns in the hands of a master who is using them to achieve his own selfish ends. The end of this thing may be nearer than we suppose. If the shrewd comment of a big husky Italian which was made to a friend of mine this afternoon is true, then that is the case. He was asked if he was going to join the Committee for Industrial Organization and he said, "No; the C. I. 0. she bust."

My friends, this is not Johnstown's problem alone. It is the problem of all citizens who believe in the freedom, the majesty, and the integrity of labor. We are simply saying and ask you to join with us in saying boldly and without hesitation that no man and no organization has the right to possess the body and the soul of the working man. He is free and he shall remain free. And no Governor of any State has a right to take from a man that which God and the laws of our glorious country have guaranteed to him, which is the right to work. If you believe in justice of this cause, you join hands with us by sending a contribution, even though it has to be a small one, to the treasurer of our citizens' and steel' workers' committee, Mr. George C. Rutledge, Box H, Johnstown, Pa. Will you help us to defend the rights of our working, your working men, and working men throughout our land. Good night, and I thank you for the help which I know you will give.
