Theodore Roosevelt

CHAPTER XIII
38/68

We dare not make an outlaw of any individual or any group, whatever his or its opinions or professions.
The non-unionist, like the unionist, must be protected in all his legal rights by the full weight and power of the law.
This question came up before me in the shape of the right of a non-union printer named Miller to hold his position in the Government Printing Office.

As I said before, I believe in trade unions.

I always prefer to see a union shop.

But any private preferences cannot control my public actions.

The Government can recognize neither union men nor non-union men as such, and is bound to treat both exactly alike.
