The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-08-12

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 to buy these things until MT. 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 papers, and insist that MT. Post join in this conspiracy with them.
 These publishers have been faithful in their contracts with MT. Post, are upright business men and good citizens, their only crime being that they decline to turn over the management of their papers to the leaders of the labor trusts. (a1ias Unions), who are gener- ally ignorant, wilful, and violent men. incapable of conducting a business.
 MT. Post declines to be party to such unlawful conspiracy to financially ruin anyone, and this together with the fact that he has been rash enough to pub licly expose some of the criminal acts of members of labor unions has pro- duced this boycott.
 The average American citizen, net employing labor. knows little of the in sufferable arrogance. impudence, and violence of the ignorant bullies, deco rated with brief power by the most ty- rannous of all trusts, the labor trust, or Unions.
 Put supreme power in the hands of any ignorant man, not accustomed to affairs, and he quickly becomes a 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 classes. 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 home owning and desirable citizens, they have small chance on their own merits to carr, first class wages, unless they can force themselves on employers by a Union card. They bring on strikes and misery for good workmen, and try to- and do. blackmail employers into set tling same by paying them graft mon . ey Some of hem have been jailed for such offences, but the great ma jority still hold forth. They have brought untold disgrace on the fair name of labor" and made the term "the pon-er werken mon." a word, hissed and laughed at by the public
 The second or other class in the labor unions is made up of good. capa . ble. intelligent. peaceable, thrifty Citi- zens, who go into unions with the laudable purpose of bettering their conditions. and to support an honest association. which they hope will be honestly conducted truly and fairly. fin 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 a cyclone. Then the,- sometimes try to keep at work when they need the wages. and know thoy are fair, but they are abused, and ire quently their families maltreated and themselves beaten back into submis sion. so there are literally hundreds of thousands of decent American work men, absolutely forced to bear the dis grace and ignominy of the galling yoke of Unionism. because of the hated tyranny of the others.
 Every American of the right sort is a 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 peaceable worker, and a corresponding dislike and anttpathy to
