The Attempt to Boycott Baker Stter. 4
Totne Editor Of the JOURNAL AND CouRIER:
It seems ~ though one circular of this
kind IL not enough, but must issue another,
and not only In this way. do they try to
injurs him, but employ other agencies to
destroy his business, or, as the phrase is
used in these days. they are bound to kill
him. Baker union No. II, Mr.. Sitter says,
has agents to 60 to tho grocsry stores that
he supplies and say to them, We don't
want STEERS bread; we want union bread,
and by this method and plan that they
have they try to drive the grocerymen
from patronizing Mr.. Sitter. Also, If he
employs q man to do his work they try In
all sorts of ways to torment him and get
him away, such IS getting the man intoxi-
Gated and then putting him on board
the cars and railroading him to
New York, and bu.ldezing others,
Tightening them away by threats and such
acts - these. And what is all this for! Is
It because he has abused any of his work
men or treated them with dfsrespecte Not
at all. It IL because Union man by the
name of Steinhausen one Saturday morning
"As@A
him, and said to Mr.. Sitter that he would
not work any more and then he came back
the following Sunday evening wanting to
work and Mr.. Sitter had made other az
rangements and told the man that he could
not go to work for hin any more. And
what did that man say to Mr.. Stiera
sIW fix you for this!" And now
SEQ how be ID fixing him through
the agency Of tie society that he
belongs to. With that at his back and
other societies assisting they want to ruin
an honest living, by honest toll. Will the
public of this city allow this thing to go
ons Baker Union Number IL says Mr..
Sitter employs non union men. He had
man who was working there that did not
belong to the union who was good man,
and he wanted him to join the union, but
the union said they would not allow him
to join. Now suppose Mr.. Stier had dis
charged this man Stienhausen. Had he
workman but for some reason he Was
not satisfied in other ways with Steinhau'
sen. What reason has the society
to And any fault about III II
1t has como to this point, that
q man in business is obliged to hire
just such man a. Q society sees fit to put
in his employ msnt aud the man who dost
the paying has no voice in the matter what
soever, It is tims for every man who ii
doing business to call halt, and dnd ou
how much farther this thing is going
And it 10 time this boy cotting business Ii
brought before q conrt of law and find on
just about how much right . man has II
do business and II such thing as boy
oottiDg is punishable. Now let the people
of this city take hold and support Mr. Site
, by asking for his goods and let this Bake
union society know that the people q
this city will not oountenance an!
such proceeding. There may be numos
of our business men who are in the sam
j, line of business as Mr.. Stier in THE city
who are in fear If they do not comply Will
the demands of Baker union No II the.
will receive the same treatment. Now lie
, public spirit be aroused and call for MI
| STEERS goods and give THE union t. under
. | stand that they cannot kill q maa or ruiz
D | him Just because he will not submit to al
their demands. A square thing is a prett
| | thing Fair dealing and right doing
what this community asks for and wants
FAIRNESS.
