features OF this organization
BROTHERHOOD OF THE USIoS-ITs OBJECTS
The Brotherhood Of the Union is the name OF a
society recently organized In the United States,
and now rapidly extending into all parts OF the

/ en- equal right to the inheritance which Common
/ Father has beEtow ed upon all his children.
Ii claims that the Laws Of Nature, approved By
Reason, Justice ind Humanity, are paramount TO
all mere statutory enactmenn and under the
guidance Of these it recognizes the right of every
man 10 TIE oil product Of his toll, es well as 70
locslity upon this earth sacred from the touch Of

ful right to develop and exercise his physical and
intellectual energies
1t does not hold to the doctrine that the God Of
Nature has created wants that He is unable to
supply; and inasmuch as the products of the soil
are necessary to sustain life, every person who has
a rieht TO live has also right 70 occupy and i'm
prove so much of the soil as may be required for
this purpose and any attempt made BY one man
or body Of men TO deprive him Of this right is an
attempt to deprive him Of the bountiful provision
which Nature has prepared for him.
This order holds that the laborer is justly entitled
