thrifty, and peaceable worker, and
corresponding dislike and antipathy to
the arrogant and violent pretender OF
the other class.
The second class named, are for the
time being forced to stand the de-
nunciations 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
Il until in some way they can OBTAIN
control and make the old or new un-
ions, which they may form, lawful, re-
spectacle, and worthy of the esteem of
the public.
We are on record as being friends
and we'll Wishers of the second class
named. and as thoroughly and unal
lcrably opposed to the law breakers,
criminals, and DULLES of the other
class, so when union men denounce
and reVile us, it is easy to determine III
which class they belong.
The union men in the first class are
genuine and undeniable anarchists
aliens and outlaws.
Let us analyze and see.
When strike occurs, they picket
plants, threaten people, assault men,
dynamite property, boycott and even
murder. they are criminals and OPP
posed to all law.
An anarchist is one opposed to law.
When police or the military are call
cd i'm to preserve the peace, and pro-
tect the common people, do these men
welcome and uphold them? They do
not, but hasten to protest" and do
all in their power to remove them, so
they can carry out their acts of vio-
lcnce and law-breaking.
They favor no law but their own,
and that is the true hall mark OF an
Anarchist, pure and simple.
Someone says we are harsh in our
description of these men. We are not
acts. They do these things regardless
of any one, and the only way the
public 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 joint their law
less ranks, and ruin some publishers.
and they are the ones who propose to
punish Mr.. Post for feariessiy telling
the facts about them and their
methods.
A man with a family of children to
support was kept out of work by a
strike in Chicago. The family would
have starved, had he not obtained
money to buy them bread.
God Almighty has instlled 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 him down with brass
knuckles, kicked him unconscious,
then pried his mouth open, and pour
ed cabolic acid down his throat
Another man who was forced to
work to support his family was met,
and the strikers put their fingers in
his eyes gouged one of them out un-
til it hung on his cheek. Are these
the only cases of outrage?
Hundreds of acts equally infamous
are repeated from day to day, daring
strikes conducted by lawless and Grim
inal members of labor unions.
Decent people read with horror the
tales of distress, women attacked and
sometimes stripped on the street. Isl
Louis st. car strike) workmen blown
to pieces with dynamite, men assault
ed, mobs formed millions OF dollars
worth of property destroyed MANY
lives lost, and general reign of ter
Tor, disorder, and anarchy conducted
by the labor trust, in trying to force
the balance of mankind to obey, with
out question the mandates of the lead
ers of the Unions
Such outrages on the public peace
and suchc absolute disregard of the
lives property, and liberty of citizens,
has finally aroused the people to a
