forced to obey the law, and the unions
that harbOr them, have forfeited the
respect 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 Amer
lean citizen, make the blood boil and
surge. Many of US had forebears that

left their comfortable homes for the
open camp, suffered from cold hunger,
and exposure, wounds, disease, and even
death 10 preserve the sacred heritage
OF liberty and that same old sturdy,
fearless blood, today calls for the sons
TO again stand fast, and oppose and
crush the ugly spirit of tyranny, and
oppression so plainly shown by these
labor unions.
There are things IN this world dearer
than money or business.
We expend about "a million dollars a
year with newspapers, most OF which
goes to printers and other workmen.
Probably two millions a year more are
spread among our work people, farm
ers and others.
our factories cover many acres of
ground, and the business furnishes the
food and clothing for nearly 5000 hui
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 ere
ated, and naturally intends shall be fed
and clothed.
our work people are paid high

been intelligent enough to decline TO
make the exchange.
II is these peaceable and reputable

We have stated the facts herein, to

make oath. IL the great buying public
decide to obey the orders OF the Labor

We cannot and will not discharge a
