corresponding dislike and antipsth
to 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
it until in some way they can obtain
control, and make the old or new
unions, which they may form, lawful,
respectable and worthy Of the esteem
of the public.
We are on record as being friends
and well wishers Of the second class
named, and a. thoroughly and unslt-
erably opposed to the lawbreakers,
criminals, and bullies Of the other
class, so when union men denounce
and revile us, IL is easy to determine
in which class thev belDog.
The union men in the first class are
genuine and undenisbly anarchists,
aliens and outlaws.
Let rs analyze and see.
When a strike occurs, they picked
plants, threaten people, assault men,
dynamite property, boycott and even
murder, they are criminals and op.
posed to all law
An anarchist is one opposed to law.
When police or the military are
called in TO preserve the peace, and
protect the common people, do these
men welcome and uphold them i?
They do not, but hasten to protest"
ana do all in their power 60 remove
them, 30 they can carry out their acts
Of violence and law breaking.
They favor no law bat their own,
and that 10 the true hall mark OF an
anarchist pure and simple.
Some one says we are harsh in our
description Of these men. We are not
responsible for their character and
acts. They do these things regardless
Of anyone, and the only way the pub
lie can fairly judge them is TO know
the facts.
1t is this class Of union men who
have placed boycott on our products,
in trying TO force us to Join their
lswless ranks, and ruin some publish
ers, and they are the ones who propose
to punish Mr.. Post for fesrlessly tell
ing the facts about them and their
methods.
A man with family Of children to
support was KEEP. OUT Of work by
strike in Chicago. The family would
have starved, had he not obtained
money to buy them bread.
God Almighty has instilled 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 MIN down with
brass knpckles, kicked him unoon-
scious, then pried his mouth open,
and poured csrbolic acid down his
throat.
Another man who was forced 20
work TO support his family was met,
and the strikers put their fingers in
his eyes. gouged one of them out until
il hung on his cneek. Are these the
only cases Of outrage?
Hundreds of acts equally infamous
are repeated from day to day, daring
strikes conducted by lawless aud
criminal members Of labor nm ions.
Decent people read with horror the
tales of distress, women attacked and
sometimes stripped on the street, (st.
Louis st car strike), workmen blown
to pieces with dynamite, men assault
ed. mobs formed, million of dollars
worth of property destroyed, many
lives lost, and general reign of
terror, disorder, and anarchy conduct
ed 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 outraRes on the public peace,
aud such absolute disregard Of the
lives, property, and liberty Of citi-
