The San Francisco call., 1904-08-11

Has been declared by the labor unions
against the products Of the Postum
Cereal Co., Ltd, VIZ Grape Nuts and
Postum Food Coffee.
The labor papers notify the public not
70 buy these things until Mr.. G. ". Post
TIE proprietor, obeys the orders Of the
Il Mons.
+ These sorders" are that be withdraw
t5e advertising from certain newspapers
that have fallen under their displeasure.
They openly announce that they pro-
pose 70 "break up, ''ruin" and "put out
OF business" the publishers Of such
papers, and insist that Ar. 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 decline TO
turn over the management Of their pap
eTs 70 the leaders Of the labor trusts,
(slias Unions). who are>generally ignor
AM, wiiful and violent men, incapable Of
conducting q business.
&r. Post declines % be party 70 such
unlawful conspiracy 70 financially ruin
euyone, and this together with the fact
shat he has been rash enough TO publicly
expose some Of the criminal acts of mem
'bers Of labor unions has produced this
Boycott
The average American citizen, not
employing labor, knows little Of the in
tufereble arrogance, impudence, and
violence Of the Ignorant bullies, decOrat-
sd with brief power by the most tyran-
nous OF sh trusts, the "labOr trust" or
Unions.
Put supreme power in the hands OF
~ n
affairs, and he. quickly becomes a bully,
dsnouncing and abusing anyone and
everyone who does not instantly obey
bis @Orders." He cares nothing for law
or the rights OF others.
= Ihe.JniOns are made up Of two class
es. lst The men who have q ready and
6busive tongue, and whe can howl down,
and by violent and loud talk, dominate
the meetings Of the U0ions.
These men are seldom If ever good
Sorkers, or thrifty home owning and de-
sira5le citizens, they have small chance
on their own merits % earn frst-class
wages, unless they can force themselves
oa.employers by q Union card. They
bring on strikes and misery fsx good
wOrkmen, and try 20, and co, blscknail
employers into settling same by paying
them graft money. Some OF them have
been jailed FOR such offences, but the
great majority stiil hold forth. They
have brought untold disgrace on the fair
name of "lsbor" and made the term "the
poe er werken mon" byword, hissed
and laughed at by TIE public.
The second or other class in the labor
unions is made up Of good capable, in
teiligeDr pesCeahle, thrifty citizens, who
90 Into unions with the. .lsudable purpose
Of bettCring their conditions, and 70 sup
'port an honest association, which they
hope viii Oe honestly conducted, truly
and fairly, in the interests OF labor, but
% their surprise and disgust they find
that whenever they try t0 speak in the
Sheetings for fairness and honorable pro-
cedure, they are hooted bnd howled dowf-
by the other class.
They try 20 counsel peace, equity, and
Justice, bat they might as well launch
feather in a cyclone. Then they some
zines try 20 keep at work when they
need the wages, and know they are fair,
but they are abused, and frequently their
families maltreated and themselves
beaten back into submission, so there are
literally hundreds Of thousands of decent
American vorkmen, absolutely forced TO
bear the disgrace and ignominy Of the
CALLING yoke Of Unionism, because of the
Ested tyranny Of the others.
4. Every American Of the right sort is a
workman, either with brain or hand, or
better yet, with both, and il the mind Of
each is q fundamental deep seated re-
epect for the able competent thrifty,
