1 the arrogant and violent pretender of | the other class.
 The second class named, are for the | time being forced to stand the denun- | citations of the public against labor
 unions. for they are in sad company,
 which has brought disgrace upon the | name of Unions, so there seems no way
 but for the decent men to stand 1t un- l til in some way they can obtain con l trol and make the old CT new unions,
 which they may form, lawful, respect | able, and worthy of the esteem of the public.
 We are on record as being friends | and well wishers of the second class
 named, and as thoroughly and unalter- | ably opposed to the law breakers, crim l inals, and bullies of the other class 50
 when union men denounce and revile | us. 1t Is easy to determine in which | class they belong.
 The union men in the first class are | genuine and undeniable anarchists. aliens and outlaws.
 | Let us analyZe and see. When a strike occurs. they picket
 plants, threaten people. assault men,
 dynamite property, boycott and even
 murder, they are criminals and opposed | to all law.
 | An anarchist Is one opposed to law. | When police or the military are call | ed in to preserve the peace, and protect | the common people, do these men well come and uphold them? They do not, | but hasten to protest" and do all in | their power to remove them, so they can carry out their acts of violence | and law breaking.
 They favor no law but their own, and that is the true hall mark of an | Anarchist, pure and simple. Someone says we are harsh in our | description of these men. We are not | responsible for their character and
 acts. They do those things regard
 less of anyone. and the only way the public can fairly judge them is to l know the facts.
 It is this class of union men who | have placed a boycott on our products, | in trying to force us to join their
 lawless ranks, and ruin some pub | fishers. and they are the ones who pro | post to punish MT. Post for fearlessly | telling the facts about them and theIr i methods.
 A man with a family of children to
 support was kept out of work by d
 strike in Chicago. The family would
 have starved, had he not obtained mon
 ey to buy them bread. God Almighty has instuled in the | mind of every man, worthy the name.
 a desire to work and furnish bread and
 clothing for his little ones. but in | this case the labor union said he must | not.
 Gods motive was the strongest, he | broke the rules of the union and went | to work.
 | They caught him one evening on the street, knocked him down with brass | knuckles, kicked him unconscious, then pried his mouth open, and poured car l boliC acid down his throat | Another man who was forced to
 work to support his family was met
 and the strikers put their fingers in his
 eyes. gouged one of them out until it
 hung on his cheek. Are these the only
 cases of outrage?
 l Hundreds of acts equally infamous
 are repeated from day to day, during | strikes conducted by lawless and crim- | inal members of labor unions. Decent people read with horror the l tales of distress, women attacked and
 sometimes stripped on the street, (St.
 Louis St. car strike), workmen blown to
 pieces with dynamite. men assaulted, ! mObs formed millions of dollars worth
 of property destroyed. many lives lost,
 and a general reign of terror, disorder, | and anarchy conducted by the labor trust, in trying to force the balance of
 mankind to obey. without question, the | mandates of the leaders of the Unions. Such outrages on the public peace,
 and such absolute disregard of the lives. property. and liberty of citizens has | finally aroused the people to a univer- | sal, and not to be ignored demand that
 these criminal bullias bs restrained and
