REASONS THE MATTER.

Many man recall the injustice Of labor
unionists and realize that IL is mistake to
think Of risking brains and money in a mael-
strom OF commercialism. wtls no higher guar .
antee OF returns than strikes. boycotts pick
cts and all those phases Of violence thai spring
from a mistaken understanding Of civilization
and all It is striving to accomplish. Less
than a year ago public sympathy stood with
the labor unions. but public sympathy to-day
is largely against them
The better class OF labor unionists realize
that the time is at hand when they must re-
sort to strenuous measures 20 keep the violent
class OF unionsm down II they hope to regain
the confidence and good gill OF the people

ASKS SOME QUESTIONS.

Is II not possible for the citizens union to
resort to the methods OF the labor unions to
raise funds. through the addition OF per-
centaEe 20 cover the cost o. thek work Just as
business men figure a percentage for insurance
against fire and other losses? OF course that
can be done
The citizens union is just as good a union
as the labor union. If the labor unions had
been always reasonable they would never have
forced the citizens to form a union OF their
own Citizens generally were not permitted to

spirit OF unioaism what there for US 10
