/ beI'' than> with it. This is true of
hats. shoes, clothing and the great va
riety of human necessities.
The arrogance and impudence Of the
proclamation of the unions, buy only
of US, all else is bad" has driven
hundreds of thousands Of the best class
of buyers to refuse to prostitute them
selves to these union orders" and they
decline absolutely to buy anything with
| union label on it.
SEAL OF SLAVERY
Remember the union label as man
aged under diseased unionism" is the
seal of servitude and contribution to
the most arrogant and abusive trust
i extant
When a self-respecting patriot thinks
of the demoniacal acts, indignlties and
abuses heaped upon free Americans. in
forcing this modern diseased union
ism" upon them. in order to support
few trust leaders (alias labor lead
| ers) it makes the blood boil and the
good old fathers spirit of freedom and
justice arise and demand of us that
we use the sternest measures to free
our people from this new and hated
form of tyranny.
ORGANIZE TOWNS
The next step toward freedom is for
each city. town and hamlet to form
! Citizens Association for mutual pro-
! lection; band together and by public
sentiment and act protect your citizens
in their freedom TO work when and for
whom they please, and the freedom OF
merchants to sell to whomsoever de-
sires to buy, despite any union" or
ders
j TRAITORS
If any merchant is coward enough
to refuse to help defend his city and
her people. preferring to lickspittle for
the tyrannous Unions" don't boy
cott him. just let the public know it
and he will quickly find that So per
cent of the people are not Union" and
his cowardice and traitorous attitude
toward his townspeople will bring its
own reward. Then have your Citizens
! Association agree to support and pro-
tect your industries in continuous ac-
4 tfvity. particularly when the Unions"
try to shut them down and thus seek
4 to ruin the town.
Some, yes many. towns have suffered
untold loss from being ''unionized'' and
in such il is easy for the citizens TO
form their associations for protection.
for they have seen the necessity. Let
other towns that have not yet been
through the fire take warning and act
in time for no epidemic of disease can
:, do the financial harm to town that is
sure to come from diseased union
ISM we'll started, with the certain fol-
lowing of strikes, disorder, assaults,
destruction of property and loss Of
business.
UNION MEN JOIN
Let the peaceable Union men join
with the other citizens so that they
cannot be tyrannized by their leaders
or the anarchists and Socialists
There are many Unions so unlawful
and ugly that even the national labor
organizations deplore their existence
! ters, but this great movement by citi-
zens TO protect themselves does not
necessarily mean the destruction OF all
| Unions.
! MUST BE CURBED
1t is absolutely demanded by public
policy that they be strongly curbed and
held to strict observance of the law.
! When they boycott, intimidate or con-
spire lin restraint of trade" let the
Citizens Associations lawyers proceed
against and punish them under the
existing laws and let public sentiment
! be so pronounced and outspoken as to
force the criminals to have a decent
regard for the rights of citizens of all
classes and conditions.
Don't hesitate to openly denounce a
noisy, abusive and unlawful Union
man and help lock him up II necessary
to preserve the peace.
FEAR NO BOYCOTTS

fiat or help the firm boycotted. II
| they try to boycott, advertise the fact,
and the decent people will double your
| business. 1t is notorious fact that
! 1t generally means defeat of a politi-
cal candidate to have him "indorsed''
as friend" of the labor unions. for
hate their tyranny and put IL on the
shelf when they have a chance
BETTER CONDITIONS
1t is a hopeful sign to see the
Unions" slowly changing for better,
and they must continue to improve
| and become lawabiding II they expect
| an indignant public to permit them to
exist. One great deterrent Is the violent
character of the editors of their labor
papers, who persistently misstate facts
| and mislead their readers by highly
tcelored reports and comments that
inf1ame the minds Of people, led too
often by their prejudice instead OF
cool reason.
But slowly the Union man is coming
to understand that II he becomes a
| lawbreaker In response to the an
archistic suggestions OF his labor
paper he must pay lthe penalty of
! crime against his fellows. When the
anarchists, socialists and criminals are
T, either driven out or suppressed, the
unions will perhaps then pattern after
the honored Brotherhood OF Loco

their members by honesty, unright-
| ness and good citizenship. then the
Union man will be known as a capable,
thrifty and high-grade workman (the
| old Trade Union idea) and the scrubs
and pretenders will not be allowed
to faunt q Union Card as evidence of
their right to abuse and maltreat all
| the balance Of mankind. The Unions
| as now made up need an immense
amount of housekeeping. and the pub
lie has been forced by their ugliness
I to demand il. Every right thinking
| Union man knows this and is earnest
