these criminal DULLES be restrained and
forced to obey the law. and the unions
that harbor them have forfeited the re-
spect Of the public.
The harm these criminals have
brought TO the fair name of peaceable,
honest labor is too great to be easily
computed.
Such outrages to enslaye the liberty
Of the common and respectable Ameri-
can citizen make the blood boil and
surge. Many Of US had forebears that
in l776 shouldered the old flint lock, left
their comfortable homes for the open
camp, suffered from cold. hunger and
exposure. wounds. disease, and even
death, to preserve the sacred heritage
Of liberty, and that same old sturdy,
fearless blood to-day calls for the sons
to again stand fast and oppose and
/ crush the ugly spirit of tyranny and OPP
preston so plainly shown by these la
Dor unions.
There are things in this world dearer
than money or business.
We expend about a million dollars
year with newspapers, most of which
goes to printers and other workmen.
Probably two millions a year more are
spread among our work people. farmers
and others.
Our factories cover many acres of
ground, and the business furnishes the
food and clothing for nearly 5000 hu-
man beings.
This act of the Unions is openly for
the purpose of running the business and
therefore taking the livelihood from
these 5000 people whom God has Great
ed and naturally intends shall be fed
and clothed.
Our work people are paid high wages.
Those who have been with us one
year receive 5 per cent. above regular
wages, and the two year and over vet
Grams receive 10 per cent. above the
highest regular wages. They are Of me-
cessity In the work clean and capable.
Most Of them own their homes and are
unusually thrifty, sober and prosperous,
the savings accounts in one of the
banks numbering above 1,450.
The agitators of the labor unions
have tried to introduce their methods
Of strikes, hatred, poverty and distress
among our people to replace the present
conditions of peace and prosperity, but
thus far our people have been irlteIli-
gent enough to decline to make the ex-
change.
It Is these peaceable and reputable
citizens, living in content, who have
done harm to no one, whom these La
Dor Union Anarchists propose to ruin
and put out Of business, along with
the company
Every industry is dependent upon the
public for its existence, for unless the
factory produces articles of sufficient
merit to meet the need ofsthe public no
business can result, If a factory pro-
lduces the very highest grade of goods,
land a general and effective boycott is
established that prevents the public
from buying such products, the business
must stop.
We have stated the facts herein, to
the truth of which we are ready to
make oath. II the sfett buying public
decide to obey the orders of the labor
unions, and refuse to purchase our pro-
ducts, we have but one thing to do--go
out Of business and let the families de-
pendent on that business go adrift and
shift for themselves. Such ruin will
lcarry down with 1t Everything connect4
ed with the industry that has taken
lyears and millions Of money to estab-
lish.
| We cannot and win not join the con-
spiracy Of these labor unions to ruin
publishers.
We cannot and WIN not discharge a
single one of our faithful and time
tried workmen upon the orders Of any
labor union.
| Upon these principles we stand. If
the unions can make their boycott eff
fective and sink out ship we will 60
down, with the captain on the bridge
and in command.
