comments, that lnI1a1ne the minus u
people, led too often by their preJu-
dice instead of cool reason.
But slowly the Union man is COM
ing to understand that il he becomes
a law breaker in response to the an
archistic suggestions of his labor pa
per he must pay the penalty of crime
against his fellows When the anar-
chists, socialists and criminals are
either driven out or suppressed, the
unions will perhaps then pattern af-
ter the honored Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, and win respect
for their members, by honesty up
rightneSS and good citizenship, then
the Union man will be known as q
capable, thrifty and high grade work
man (the old Trade Union idea) and
the scrubs and prctenders will not be
allowed to flaunt Union Card as evil
dence of their right to abuse and mall
treat all the balance Of mankind. The
Unions as now made up need an i'm
mcnse amount of house cleaning and
the public has been forced by their
ugliness to demand it. Every right
thinking Union man knows this and is
earnest in his desire to have the
criminals expunged, for the peaceable
members are denounced by the pub
lie for their association with the 9TH
ers.
If these high grade men would
| withdraw from the mismanaged bands
of outlaws and set up a union where
good Workmanship was the test, and
then offer their first class labor at
even higher prices than common, with
their contracts made legally response
BILE, and if it became known that when
a buyer of labor didn't care to pur,
chase, this union would peaceably Of
fer it's labor elsewhere, but not go
bullying about like a lot of bandits
and lawbreakerS, they would then
command the admiration and respect
of the entire community, for people
like to see workmen prosperous. OBJ
serve the high position in the minds
of the public that the Locomotive En-
gineerS have won for themselves by
just this plan of procedure.
Many and many a high grade man
| is an unwilling associate and member
of the anarchy-tainted unions, and he
seeks freedom somehow, somewhere.
Help him.
1t is no insult to tell man he is in
a place that stinks, he may know and
deplore it, but if he defends the strik-
ing place he insults himself.
CRIMINAL BRAND
SO when you hear Union man
denounce those who point out the
crimes of the Unions and seek to puri-
| fy them, you may know to a certain
ty that he is of the anarchist criminal
| type and SquirmS when the sunlight
of publicity is turned upon him. Among
this class will be found the majority
of labor paper editors.
We should demand of our public Of
ficials that they proceed as they did in
the beef trust and give the people
protection from this labor trust that
Expresses the common people more
than dozen meat or oil trusts.
/ What is a cent OF two on a gallon
of oil as compared with the hundreds
| of thousands of decent bread-earners
/ rOwn n from n
and the hundreds of millions of dol
lars in business lost to the people by
the withdrawal of capital from in
dustry.
| 1t is a common remark nowadays
that no one but fool will start a new
building or a new industry and sub
ject himself to the tremendous losses,
indignities, and worry from the labor
unions.
The proposed building operations
and new industries that have been
abandoned in the last two years
amount in dollars and cents lost to
our work people, more than would
keen an army in meat and oil for
! lifetime.
Citizens high and low, you must
rise in your might and free yourselves
1 from this worst of all trusts-this
startling menace to human liberty. 1t
is before you and it's injuries are felt
by every man but the few easy-living
leaders who have by organization OF
the Is per cent of workmen, threat
ened the complete domination of the
SIS per cent of unorganized citizens.
This fair country has already been
injured hundreds of millions of dol
lars and it's people subjected to count
less scores of indignities by the labor
trust.
ACT
We have conspiracy and trust laws.
Write President Roosevelt urging that
he direct the proper government Of
ficers to do their duty with this most
ruinous Of all trusts, then don't forget
your own duty towards the boycott,
the union label and to organize your
towns for protection.
Read this article over again careful
!, ly and Act.
N. B. You ask what motive in
spires me to pay about $20,000.00 to
print this proclamation of freedom
in the various papers in the United
States sure to bring down on me hum
: dreds more of coarse, vlllifying,
, abusive letters from labor union
thugs and many kind letters from
!. lawabiding members Of Unions.
The officials of the Labor Commits
sioner's office Of Michigan say / pay
the highest wages in the state for like
/ work. But | will not bow to the
comic opera kings and potentates of
the labor unions or allow them to
"unionize" the Postum factories.
{ Therefore they boycott Postum" and
Grape Nuts"
/ was trained to run my business
and they were not; yet they propose
to and their abuse has been sufficient
to interest me i'm study of the fearful
conditions that confront our country
II to-day.
The people of the world have given
me money enough to spend in these
talks through the papers in trying to
make better and safer conditions for
{ the common people, whether the
Postum business runs or not.
Scores of letters have come to me
from work people and others, some
, from union men. recounting their suf-
ferings from union domination and
urging that their cases be laid before
the public.
1t will not answer for us to only
sympathize with the poor, the OPP
pressed, those who haven't power
enough to drive off tyrants and resent
oppression, we must help them tie the
