A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces to know If MIR. Post;
would keep still" If they would CALI
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, A.
sault, blow up property or commit
murder.
We do not pay thugs $40 to break il
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 Independents
workmen by paying the highest wager
In the state.
We have q steady, unvarying 70
spect for the law.adidiag, 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 o
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" COLO
choke the throat and still the voice
raised in stern denunciation Of the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron.shot heel the freedom Of our broth
ers.
You would gag US with silver bar
and muftle 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
tn 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.
people and ourselves. the Infamous
offer Is declined"
