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: THE labor trust
has seen fit 10 try to ruin cur business
bee ause 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. as
sault, 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
regard for sturdy and independent
workmen by paying the highest wages
in the state.
We have a steady, unvarying re-
spect for the law-abiding, peaceaole
union man and a 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-suffering 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 American citizenship under or

You offer to remove the restriction

You would gag US with silver bar

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are few labor unions conducted
on peaceful lines and in proportion as
they are worthy, they have won es-
teen, for We, as a people, are strongly
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 encourage
criminals in their Efforts to force
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
ren dying on the slopes Of Bunker
Hill, was not more outrageous than
the conditions that closed shop
would force upon the community.
These men burst into rebellion when
the king did but touch their pockets
Imagine il you can their indignant pro-
test had he sought to prohibit or
restrict their occupation 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 submit.
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 law-abiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are de-
nounced. but when you hear union
man 'holler" because the facts are
made public. he has branded himself
as either one of the lawbreakers or
a sympathiZer. 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 men.
