Page 6— THE MONTGOMERY WARD MATTSR Citizens of our country should give duo significance to Roosevelt's War on Montgomory Ward and Company, the most alarming of oll. his acts in the twelvo yoare of his _Presidonoys . This war began on April 26, when soldiers at his sommand gssised the Chicag store and ejected from it Sewell Avery, the Chairman of its Board of Directors, A number of editors, columists and citizons made instant and indignant protests, and Roosevelt surrendered by returning the proporty to its owners in two weeks, Tho mumbdr of theae protests was sc small as to prove “that our fivrse love for liburty is teo feoble eithor for pride or safetye The 78th Congress did not spring to the defense of "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, end effects against unreasonable searches and seizures", This fourth bill of constitutional rights was violated by Roosevelt. . On December 28, 1944, the re-elected usurper renewed his War on this com- pany by having his army seize its moat’ important properties in several cities. He did this, as before, without even seeking an order or permission from any judge, state or federal. He did this on the pretext that this company was oppressing its workors and punishing them, if they joined mions, One of the aims of Roosevalt is to force this company to discharge any member of a union who quits the union. There is no lew, state or federal, providing for this. Ward's workers do not desire it. Ninety per cent of the workers in the Chicago Store declared their opposition to it, Representatives of union members in four seized stores in Detroit openly state thelr opposition. These workers are about to be viotims of Roosevelt, Hillman, Murray, amd the CIO, and red union racketeera and bosses, Roosevelt is now seeking to get some judge to appreve his despotic acts. Any judge who does sc will be an accessory to anarchy. Every Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors of every Corporation or other business concerns, farmers’ organizations, and every governor, the 79th Congress, should instantly and powerfully protest. Dewey and 3risker should rise from their political graves, and bitterly object, Every pulpit should thunder a warning, remember ing that "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God," Wnat will citizens do abait this war on free enterprise, on private pro- perty rights, begun by those who scorn the guaranties of the bill of rights, substi= tute soldiers for judges, and mochine guns for ooces? Have wo turned inte taice who rum for holes when we hear the footsteps of & despot? SULLIVAN KNOCKS ROOSEVELT OUT! Judge Philip LepSallivan of Chicago, to whom President Roosevelt made petition, that he sanction his seizure on December 28, 1944, of sixteen properties of Kontgomer d and ¢o., has denied the petition, and has rendered a sweeping and clear decision, that the action of Roosevelt was a violation both of the Consti- tution and of the Statutes of the Congress. No other president in the history of our government ever suffered such a judicial robuke as this.‘ Why did he ordor the soldiers of the army to seize the properties of the 60,000 stoecichoiders of this canpany? He did this because Sewallijvery, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, would not agree to put out of their jobs workers whe quit unions, Roosevelt sought to use his power in behalf of the unions by foroing this company, ond later, no doubt, all employers, to teke away employment from all members of unions who might withdraw from them, so that they would be unable to support their families. Any man or woman in the United States has the constitutionally guaranteed right to join a church, e fraternal order, a golf or chess club, anc to quit any one .
