The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1905-02-10

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 its 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 $40 to break in
the ribs of any man who tries to sup
port his family nor $50 for an eye
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 a steady, unvarying respect
for the law-ablding peaceable union
man and most earnest desire to sec
him gain power enough to purge the
unions Of their criminal. practices that
have brought down upon them tho
righteous denunciation of long SUI
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 Amer1-
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 tho
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom Of our
brothers.
You would gag us with silver bar
and muff1e 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 CAD
not wrench from us that priceless jewel
our fathers fought for and which every
true son guards with his life. There
fore, speaking for our work people and
ourselves the Infamous offer is de-.
clined.'' g..

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are few Labor Unions conduct
ed on peaceful lines, and in proportion
as they are worthy they have won
esteem, for we, as people, are strong
ly in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for
get that We seek the good of. all and
not those alone who belong to some
organization, whereas even the law
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 q
yoke Of slavery upon the American
people. AS public speaker lately
said: "The arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquence
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, tho
honest, lawabiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are enOnnced,
but when you hear 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 tho
lawbreaker, and likely to become ono
when opportunity offers. That is one
reason employers decline to hire such
men.

 Beginning to-day no passenger train will be sent out at Union station with over 12 cars, and if the traffic war rants putting on more cars, then the train will be run in two sections.

LATEST FAIR HAVEN NEWS
SERMON PREACHED KESTERDAF DN ssT4E CHRISTIAN SABBATH. :"
V the Rev. Charles G. Smith at the
 Baptist Church-TriaI Fly of Fair Haven Pigeons--Picnic at Lighthouse Point-PersonaI. Y.

At the Grand Avenue Baptist church yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. Charles c. Smith, preached an inter- esting sermon on "The Christian sab- bath" His text was Rev. 1:1O: T was in the spirit on the Lords day. He said in part:
 If you believe this day to be the Christian Sabbath, believe it with all your heart. Prize it as priceless her itage, which cost the death of the son of God, and celebrates the greatest vic tory of all time. It is your duty, not merely to selfishly prize this day. but also to join hands with Christians of every name to preserve it inviolate from rude hands who would filch it from us; from oppressive capitalists soulless corporations and goddess men.
 q do not ask for a return of the old Puritan Sabbath as it was known here iii New England. It had it's virtues, nor were it's vices. think, so numerous or 50 black as they are painted. But we live in g. broader, brighter day, in an age on ages telling and we have a. wider horizon, and consequently a grander view, of the spirit and genius of truth--Iove, not law, is the lodestar of our life.
 So, then, what plead for is that we should help to stem the awful tide Of Sabbath dissertation which abounds on every hand, and is encroaching more and more upon the confines of the Christian church Let us make this day season of glad and profitable rest for our entire being; let us exempt from toll as many of our down-trodden fel- lows as is consistent with the security of our nation, and the welfare of the general public.
 saThere can be no doubt that the for efgner is largely responsible for this decadence of the Christian Sabbath; but are we not to blame for allowing it to be so? Are you going to allow the immigrants, who are coming to these hospitable shores by their thou sands, to Europeanize our Sabbath? ol are you going to demand, and enforce that demand, that as they enjoy to the full all the rights and privileges of this free country, they shall likewise re spect her laws, her institutions, and her Christian Sabbath?
 ..We must face this issue, for upon our attitude in this great matter de- bends out nations future. God speaks to American as he spoke to ancient Israel: If thou turn away thy foot from the. Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight. the holy of tht Lord, honorable, and shalt honor him not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shall thou delight thy self in the Lord: and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob, thy father: for the mouth o1 the Lord hath spoken it."
