The feeling seems universal and is
held by the great general public and by
probably more than half OF the unwill-

don't obey exactly and quickly they
slug throw bricks. shoot, cut, dyna-
mite, boycott and murder

demanding that all movements be
made only according to the union
rule" Their continuous abuse ana m
terrerence with the rights OF citizens
has SO outraged the people that they
not only detest the name labor union
but are forced to take up the most
rigorous and emphatic measures &c
stop this interference with the move

PEOPLE ANNOYED.
When a man wants to go TO business
on a car he doesn't want to be told the
unions have tiled up the line Wher

meat, bread and vegetables delivered, II

tries to help the trouble. SO they inter
fere In all sorts of ways with the llber'
ty and freedom of the common people
making life burden and man an alb
ject slave to the impudent orders" o
the labor boss, and these labor union!
know no limit to their exactions ant
abuses so long as they have power t.

laws OF the U. s. Govt. give way t.
their rules.
"a COSTLY 1LUNDER.
When Pres. Mckinley came to la.
the corner stone of the federal building
in Chicago (that the unions had delay.
ed for years and forced thereon ar
unnecessary cost of some millions o
dollars which had to be paid out Of thu
pockets of the common people) III
made the fearful mistake of bowling hi!
head to the orders" Of the labor boss
es and allowed them to put on his necl
the yoke of ''union card" before he
was allowed to lift trowel and lay
that corner stone. Think of 1t. Tht
chief executive OF this govt made Y
step down from his eminent position
and allow a union boss to sit there ant
issue .'orders.' That one act made the
labor unions so drunk with power ant
impudent that 1t has cost Chicago n
losses to business wages, bulldllss
depreciation Of real estate ana De
struction of property by fires set b,
unions, literally hundreds of million:
of dollars and many lives.
Is 1t any wonder the common people
are sick and tired OF unions. They
ordered the little Colonel now In thu
White House to discharge printer be-
cause he wouldn't Join union ane
they also ordered him not to ride on
certain r. r. that refused to obey
them, but they found there a wise ane
brave man, the real Executive OF al
the people and not alone of the ten II
eight hundred or the one thousane
who seek to corner the labor marke
and shut out the eighty thousand who
do not.

GENUINE TRUST.
But here we see a genuine trust,
labor trust, combination to sell labor
and this arrogant trust proposes b!
threats of violence to force people t.

And why do they block progress
