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, as
sauIt, 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
regard for sturdy and Independent
workmen by paying the highest wages
in the state.
We have steady, unvarying re-
spect 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 suffering 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 American citizenship under "or-
ders" Of any labor trust.
You offer to remove the restriction
on our business and with union" gold

raised in stern denunciation Of the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron-shod heel the freedom of our broth.
ers.
You would gag us with silver bar
and muffle the appeal to the American
people to harken to the cries for
bread of the little children whose
faithful fathers were beaten to death
while striving to earn food for them.
Your boycott may perhaps succeed
in throwing our people out of work
and driving us from business, but you
cannot wrench from us that priceless
jewel our fathers fought for and which
every true son guards with his life.
Therefore, speaking for our work.

offer Is declined"

Identification.

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are few labor unions conducted
on peaceful lines and in proportion as
they are worthy they have won es-
TEEN, for we, as a people, are strongly
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
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 a
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS a 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 conditions that a closed shop
would force upon the community.
These men burst into rebellion when
the king did but touch their pockets
Imagine if you can their indignant pro-
test had he sought to prohibit or
restrict their occupation or determine
the conditions under which they
should earn their livelihood" and to
assault, beat and murder them, blow
up their houses and poison their food
if they did not submit.
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, law-abiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are de-
nounced, but when you hear union
man "holler" 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.

yellow journalism's purposes and

Yellow journalism is doing this every

against a man or a woman is sufficient
unto the evils of the longest columns
and the blackest heads
Then follows a long recital OF in
stances, such as the attack on the char
acter of Andrew II. Green after his
cruel assassination: the confession
that Marion F. Gurney was not the
woman who fed with the preacher vag-
abond. Henry Austin Adams; the case
of the Bechtel murder and the news
paper persecution of several innocent
women. the truth about the Osler incl
dent; the statement that the Black
Hand, the Bloody Cross and other al
legged murder organizations "exist as
organizations only in the Offices of the
yellow papers," and the fakes that are
imposed upon the public in the matter
of newspaper illustrations. BY such
methods Andrew H. Green's character
was besmirched; Marion F. Gurneys
life was ruined; Mrs. Bechtel and her
daughter were harassed, bounded. i'm.

months; DR.. Osler has been put to =

WHO OWNS THE PEARL?


A Hamburg dispatch asks whether
the finder Of pearl In an oyster shell
in a restaurant is entitled to it or
whether It belongs to the proprietor
of the Indigestion Office. The first
bench Of the superior court OF the home
of the Hamburger steak has taken the
question under consideration. The facts
as told in court are that a woman be-
ginning her dinner at a restaurant
with an oyster, bit on something hard
and took a piece Of pearl out Of her
mouth. Afterward a jeweler offered
the woman $3.50 for the pearl, and the
proprietor of the restaurant claimed
the gem. The woman refused to sur.
render the pearl and the proprietor
brought suit to recover it, averring
the bones Of fowls and shells by tradi-
tional custom are left by customers
Of a restaurant and are a source Of
profit to the proprietor.
The important precedent involved
affects not only ancient Hamburg, but
every community in the civilized world
For II the first bench Of the superior
court" should decide that restaurant
proprietor is entitled to a pearl, whose
coy, snug hiding place in the tooth
some biyalves juicy flesh is disclosed,
often at the expense Of a tooth, by the
unhappy patron Of restaurants, why
may not proprietors also be entitled to
