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 a people, are strong
Iv in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better condiuons
for wage workers. But we DO not for.
get that we seek the good OF all ana
not those alone who belong to some
organization. whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeniable evi- .
dences Of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
OF the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force
woke Of slavery upon the American
people. As q public speaker ia.eiy
said: THE arrogance OF the Enghsn
King that reused the fiery eloQuence
of Otis. that inspired the immortA
declaration of Jefferson, that left Wal
rem diving on the slopes Of Bunker Hu9
was not more outrageous than the con-
ditions that q closed shop would fofes

The public should also remembes
that good true American citizens caA
| be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often -
bad company.

hurt when the criminals ara denounceds
but when you hear = union man "h0l-
ler" because the facts are made public
he has branded himself as either one

and therefore with the mind OF the
lawbreaker, and likely to become one
when opportunity Offers That Is one
reason employers decline to hire such'

This is the reply: THE labor trust
has seen fit to try to ruin our business
because we would not join liz 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. assanlt. blow
UP property or commit murder.
We do not pay thugs so to break "
the ribs of any man who tries 70 81
port his family nor $50 for A
knocked out.
We try to show our plain. hoaest 7
gard for sturdy and independents va
men by paying the highest Waees

We have q steady. unvarying rosp@
for the law-abiding peaceable unid
man and q most earnest desire u q
him gain power enough to purEg th)
unions of their criminal practices th3t
have brought down upon them the
righteous denunciation of = long -euf-
