AC IEEluk stGlllS cEiA anu AS held by the great general public and by probably more than half the unwilling members of the unions.
 Statistics show about ten "union" members to every eight hundred citi- gems and this small minority under takes to rule the rest of us if we don't Iobey. exactly and quickly they slug, throw bricks, shoot, cut, dynamite, boycott and murder,
 BORN WORKERS
 Most all Americans were born of work people. We knoT what 1t is to work and work hard. We are not children of Dukes, Earls or the idle rich and We have an inborn sympathy for and desire to help along every honest, peaceable workman. So mer- chants, manufacturers and all sorts of employers who used to work with their hands and now wock harder with their brains to get together money to pay to those who work with their hands, have. with the general public. borne patiently many acts of tyranny and abuse until the union leaders have be- come more emboldened and intoxicat- ed with power.
 WANT TROUBLE. ss.
 They must make trouble in order to feed their vanity hy seeing themselves discussed in the papers, and also to show the Union thaI hires them that there's something doing" So they order people about, interfere with business, stop street and R. R. cars, building operations, delivery of goods, serving of meals, delivery of bread, meat or even milk necessary to keep babies alive, and we have been treated to the horrifying scene of their interfering with the sacred rite of burial of the dead. They have the im- lpudence to interfere in any and every act of life, demanding that all move ments be made only according to the union rule'' Their continued abuses and interference with the rights of citizens has so outraged the people, that they not only detest the name labor union'' but are forced to take up the most rigorous and emphatic measures to stop these outrages, aud stop this interference with the move ments of the common people
 PEOPLE ANNOYED
 When man wants to go to business
 on car he doesn't want to be told the unions have tiled up the line. :" When he relies for his dinner on hay-5 ing the meat, bread and vegetables de- Ilivered, 1t doesn't set at all well to lose his dinner because the unions" had Itied up the meat or bread supply, or the teamsters' union slugged and driv- en off the new teamsters that tried to
 deliver the goods. His baby needs milk but the milk drivers union" has stopped the supply. Let few of the Idbabies die some sacrifices must be made for the supremacy of labor.
 He tries to paint his own house at spare times, but the painters union boot him, and boycott the paint dealer and grocer that sells him goods.
 A sudden leak of a water pipe IS flooding his house and destroying his
 property, but the rules of the plumbers union imposes all sorts ofpenalties if he tries to help the trouble. So they in terfere in all sorts of ways with the liberty and freedom of the common people, making life a burden and man
 an abject slave to the impudent or ders"t of the labor, boss, and these labor unions know flo limit to- their exactions and abuses so long as they have power to ride down the people. They go the full limit even to de-
 manding that the laws of the U. s. Govt give way to their rules. < A COSTLY BLUNDER When Pres. Mckinley came to lay the corner stone of the federal building ! in Chicago Chat the unions had delay ted for years and forced thereon an ur1- necessary cost of some millions of dol- Jars which had to be paid out of the pockets of the common people, he made the fearful mistake of lowing his head Ito the "orders" of the labor bosses and
 allowed them to put on his neck the yoke of a Union Card' before he was allowed to lift trowel and lay that corner stone. Think of it. The chief 1 executive of this govt made to ster down from his eminent position and al
 low union boss to sit there and 1s-
 sue "orders." That one act made the labor unions so drunk with power and
 impudent that it has cost Chicago 1n
 losses to business, wages, buildings,
 depreciation of real estate and destruc-
 tion of property by fires set by unions,
 literally hundreds of millions of dol- lars and many lives. ~
 ! Is it any wonder the common people
 are sick and tired of unions" They
 ordered the little Colonel now in the 1 White House to discharge a printer be-
 cause he wouldn't join a union and
 they also ordered him not to ride on a
 certain R. R. that refused to obey
 them, but they found there wise and
 brave man, the real Executive of all
 the people and not alone of the ten in eight hundred or the one thousand who seek to corner the labor market
 and shut out the eigthy thousand who
 do not.
 He says: "When any labor union
 seeks improper ends or; seeks to achieve
 proper ends by improper means all
 good citizens and more especially all
 honorable public servants must oppose the wrong doing as resolutely as they
 would oppose the wrong doing of any great corporation. Of course, any violence, brutality or corruption should
 not for one moment be tolerated"
 GENUINE TRUST &
 ] But here we see genuine trust, a
 labor trust, combination to sell labor,
 and this arrogant trust proposes by
