Has been declared by the labor unions
against the products of the Postum Ce-
real Co, Ltd, viz: Grape-Nuts and
Postum Food Coffee. .
The labor papers notify the public
mot to buy these things until Mr.. c. w.
Post, the proprietor, obeys the orders of
the unions.
These orders are that he withdraw
the advertising from certain newspa-
pers that have fallen under their dis
pleasure.
They openly announce that they pro-
pose to break up, ruin and put
out of business the publishers of such
papers, and insist that Mr.. Post join in
this conspiracy with them.
These publishers have been faithful
in their contracts with Mr.. Post, are
upright business men and good citizens,
their only crime being that they de-
cline to turn over the management of
their papers to the leaders of the labor
trusts, (alias Unions). who are general
ly ignorant, wilful, and violent men,
incapable of conducting a business.
Mr.. Post declines TO be a party to
such unlawful conspiracy, to financial
ly ruin anyone, and this together with
the fact that he has been rash enough
to publicly expose some some of the
criminal acts of members of the labor
unions has produced this boycott.
The average American citizen, not
|employing labor, knows little of the in
sufferable arrogance, impotence, and
violence of the ignorant DULLES, decor
ated with brief power by the most tyr
rannous of all trusts, the labor trust
or Unions.
Put supreme power in the hands Of
any ignorant man, not accustomed to
affairs, and lie. quickly becomes bully,
denouncing and abusing anyone and
everyone. who does not instantly obey
his ORDERS. He cares nothing for law
or the rights of others,
The Unions are made up of two class
les, 1st. The men who have a ready
and abusive tongue, and who can howl
down, and by violent and loud talk,
dominate the meetings of the Unions
These men are seldom if ever good
workers, or thrifty, homecoming and
desirable citizens, they have small
chance on their own merits to earn first
class wages, unless they can force
themselves on employers by Union
card. They bring on strikes and mis-
cry for good workmen, and try to, and
do, blackmail employers into settling
same by paying them graft money.
Some Of them have been jailed for such
|offences, but the great majority still
hold forth, They have brought untold
disgrace on the fair name of labor
land made the term "the poo-er werk-
en- mon" a by-word, Kissed and laughed
at by the public.
The second or other class in the labor
unions is made up Of good capable, in
Itelligent, peaceable, thrifty citizens,
who go into the Unions with the laud-
able purpose of lettering their condi-
lions, and to support an honest assoc.
citation, which they hope will be hon
testify conducted, truly and fairly, in the
interests Of labor, but to their surprise
and disgust they find that whenever
they try to speak in the meetings for
fairness and honorable procedure, they
are hooted and howled down by the
other class.
They try to counsel peace, equity. and
Justice, but they might as well launch
"a feather in cyclone. Then they
sometimes try to keep at work when
they need the wages, and know they
are fair, but they are abused, and fire.
quently their families are maltreated
and themselves beaten back into sub
mission, SO there are literally hundreds
of thousands of decent American work.
men absolutely forced to bear the dis
grace and ignominy of the CALLING yoke
of Unionism, because of the hated tyr
amy Of the others.
Every American of the right sort is
workman, either with brain or hand, or,
better yet, with both, and In the mind
of each is a fundamental deep-seated
respect for the able, competent, thrifty,
and peaceahle worker, and a correspon-
