A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces to know II Mr.. Post
would keep still II they would call
off the boycott on Postum and Grape
Nuts.
This Is the reply: THE labor trust
has seen 1T 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 10
strike, picket, boycott. assault, blow
up property or commit murder.
We do not pay thugs $50 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 a steady. unvarying respect
for the law-ablding peaceable union
man and Il 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 denunclation of a long suf-
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 tie restriction
on our business and with union" gold
choke the throat and still the voice
raised In stern denunclation OF the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom of our
brothers.
You would gag US with q silver bar
and muAie 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 on 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.

The public should remember that
there arc a few Labor Unions conduct

as they are worthy they have won

organization, whereas even the law.
abiding unions show undeniable evi.
dences OF tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
or 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, hat inspired the immortal
declaration Of jefferson, that left War

was not more outrageous than the ON

under which they should earn their
livelihood" and to assault. beat and

poison their food IL they did not sub

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 a union man "hol-
Ter" because the facts are made public,
he has branded himself as either one
OF the l~awbreakers or a sy%mpathizer,
and therefore with the mind Of the
l~awbreaker, and likely to become n
when opportunity offers. That Is n
reason employers decline to hire such
