Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1905-02-01

A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces to know if Mr.. Post
would keep still if they would call
off the boycott on Postum and Grape
Nuts
This is the reply: THE labor trust
has seen fit to try to ruin our business
because we would not join it's criminal
conspiracy. We are plain American
citizens and differ from the labor union
plan in that we do not force people to
strike, picket, boycott, assault. blow
up property or commit murder.
We do not pay thugs 500 to break in
the ribs of any man who tries to sup
port his family nor $50 for an eve
knocked out
we try to show our plain honest re-
gard for sturdy and independent work.
men by paying the highest wages in
the state.
We have steady, unvarying respect
for the law-abiding peaceable union
man and most earnest desire to- see
him gain power enough to purge the
unions OF their criminal practices that
have brought down upon them the
righteous denunciation of a long -suf.
fering and outraged public, but we will
not fawn, truckle, bend the knee. wear
the hated collar Of white slavery. the
union label, nor prostitute our Ameri-
can citizenship under orders" of any
labor trust
You offer to remove the restriction
on our business and with union" gold
choke the throat and still the voice
raised in stern denunciation of the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom OF our
brothers
You would gag us with a silver bar
and mufile the appeal to the American
people to harken TO the cries for bread
of the little children whose faithful IA
theirs were beaten to death while striv-
ing to earn food for them.
Your boycott may perhaps succeed in
throwing our people out of work and
driving us from business, but you can
not wrench from us that priceless jewel
our fathers fought for and which every
true son guards with his life There

get that we seek the good of all and
not those alone who belong to some

abiding unions show undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
OF the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force a
yoke of slavery upon the American
people AS a public speaker lately
said: The arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquencs
of Otis. that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying on the slopes of Bunker Hill
was not more outrageous than the con-
ditions that a closed shop would force
upon the community. These men burst

The public should also remember
that good true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So. the
honest. lawabiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are denounced,
but when you hear a union man "hol-
Ter" because the facts are made public,
he has branded himself as either one
OF the lawbreakers or a sympathizer,
and therefore with the mind of the
lawbreaker, and likely to become one
when opportunity offers. That is one
reason employers decline to hire such
men.

IF we were allowed to keep the
number of cattle that we have and
were compelled to pay for the increase
of the herds or any additions that we
made the proposition would be a fair
one. To compel those who have been
there for years and came in with the
idea that we had to pay nothing, to
now pay high charge is not fair. Our
entire interests are in the area con-
trolled by the government so there
is nothing left for us to do but COM

for grazing in the Gila reserve has
