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: 1.-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 steady, unvarying respect
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-sut-
! 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 Ameri-
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 muffle 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 can
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 do
clined."

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are a 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 encourages
criminals in their efforts to force a
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-

into rebellion when the king did but

sought to prohibit or restrict their oc-
cupation 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 sub
NIT.
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, lawabiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are denounced.
but when you hear union man "hol-
ler" because the facts are made public.

reason employers decline to hire such

Active and Painstaking.

Deputy Mcleod, by the way, prom
ises to be a very active and pains
taking chief Of the department thus
grandly supplementing the excellent
work he has done i'm his present posi-
ton. He will ask the legislature to
extend the jurisdiction of his depart
ment SO that Office buildings may be
included in the list of structures i'm
which the department may require the
establishment of devices designed TO
protect the persons employed therein.
The state federation of labor has
had representatives i'm Lansing during
the past week. and ii IS understood
that this organization proposes to keep
very close tab on legislation this year.
In order to do this it will have lCs
legislative committee on the ground
most of the session. As in former
years, the labor interests are principal
ly interested i'm securing the abolish
ment of the prison contract labor sys-
tenn. They believe that the convicts
can be fully employed in manufacture
ing articles for use in the various state
institutions. and to far better advan-
tage than i'm competing with free labor
iu the markets. Another matter that
will receive attention from this or
ganization is the proposition to require
the examination and licensing of all
electrical workers. So many fatal ac-
cidents and serious fires have resulted
from the work of inexperienced cleo

Low Water Alarms.

The question whether low water
alarms on steam boilers are a safe
guard or menace will have TO be set
tied by the legislature this year The
present law requires that all such boil
ers be equipped with some type of low
water alarm approved by the commits
siOner of labor. Representative Beal.
who halls from Ann ArbOr. has INTRO
duced bill 10 repeal this law In all
probability this measure is the out
come of a controversy between the au-
thorities of the Michigan university
and the commissioner of labor. Act
ing on the advice of Professor NJ. f.
Cooley, the well-knOwn engineering
authority Of the university. the regents
have declined to equip certain boilers
with safety devices. 1t is Professor
COOley's contention that the presence
cf these devices leads to carelesSness
on the part Of engineers who, instead
OF making needed inspections. depend
UPON the alarm to give notice of low
water and consequent danger. Pro
fessor Cooley further contends that
these devices fill up with scale, etc.
and are thus rendered imperative so
that the danger of explosion is in
creased rather than diminished by
their use. Deputy Labor Commission
er Mcleod, who will become the head
Of the bureau in a few weeks, insists.
on the other hand, that experience con
clusively proves the value of the alarm.

plosions have been avoided by their

tons are that he will be successful.

Punishment for Wife Beaters.
The increase in the number of wife

This whipping is to consist of not less

provides that each person convicted Of
