Mr. Parry appeals to manufacturers to
sssis, In a movement to counteract pro-
granme which means 'the turning over
Of the United States to trades union domina-
ton"
Mr. Parry then QUOTED the resolution Of
Max Hayes OF Cleveland. in which tn e fed

votes soiidly for this resolution. This "
the organization that evoked 90 much
maudlin sentiment and brought the whole
country to It's knees In the anthracite strike.
1t is confidently propheeied that the
socialists will be in full control Of the Trades
Union movement in the United States by
the time Of the next A. F. of l.. convention
The charge is made that Hayes's resolu-
ton means an attack on the productive
wealth Of the country; that the Socialists
intend to take possession Of all the money
and private property. Not content with
getting their share OF the consumable
vealth which is being distributed more
generously and moro cheaply than ever
before the circular Gays the followers OF
Hayes are determined to seize the pro-
ductive wealth II adds:
1t has been estimated that II ali the
productive wealth Of this country were to
be distributed up equally among the In
habitants Of the United States, there would
be $500 for each person. Yet Hayes and
his followers are determined TO seise this
$500 II they can get the backing. The basis
Of this movement is human greed and envy.
Unless this movement Ia checked 1t will lead
to enormous Industrial damages to the
United States, for nothing but chaos and
anarchy can come from a proposition to
seize the private property Of individuals.
these are the people who are demanding
that the political and commercial destinies
OF the United States be htrusted TO their
hands. You may be at peace with your
workmen now, but the organizer u like q

Thus it will be seen that organized labor
never intends to stop until 1t can secure
class legislation by which the boycott and
the picket are to be lsgslized and every
employer In this country be placed at the
mercy Of the agitators who hold for
the employing class nothing but envy and
hatred. This programme Of terrorization
