The second class named. are for TIT
time being forced to stand the denuncia
lions of the public against labor unions
for they are in sal company which ha.
brought disgrace upon the name o

The union men in the first class are
genuine and undeniable anarchists
aliens and outlaws.
Let US anaiyze and see.
When strike occurs, they picket
plants, threaten people. assault men
dynamite property, boycott. and ever

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 him down with brass
knuckles, kicked him unconscious. then
pried his mouth open. and poured ar
bolic 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 II

cases of outrage?
Hundreds of acts equally infamous 3re
