Secret of Living.

II we can only come back to nature to-
gether every year, and consider the flow

OF memories which will be like the twin

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 to try to ruin our business
because we would not join its criminal
conspiracy We are plain American
citizens and differ from the labor dnion
plan in that we do not force people to
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 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
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 the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom of our
brothers.
You would gag us with a silver bar
and muffle the appeal to the American
people to harkeu 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 de-
cliIed."

TEN WOMEN KILLED.
A Passenger Train Crashed Into a
Bob Sled that Contained
Thirteen Ladies,
ACCIDENT IN EMPIRE STATE
All the Victims Were Members of tho
Ladies' Aid Society of Univer-
salist Church at HornelIsVille
and All Were Married.

Hornellsville, n. Y, Feb. "A pas
senger train on the Pittsburg, Shaw
NUT x Northern railroad last night
crashed into a sleigh containing 13
women, killing seven of them out
right and SO seriously injuring the re-
naming six that three of them died af-
ter being taken to hospital. The ac.
cident occurred near Airport. The
sleigh was one of three carrying Il
party from the Universalist church OF
this city. The dead:
Mrs. Mary Gillette.
Mrs. Charles Thomas.
Mrs. Eugene Shaw.
Mrs. Joseph Hallett
Mrs. C. c.. Graves.
Mrs. Bert Moore.
Mrs. Ruth Patchen.
Mrs. Fred Green.
Mrs. J. Coats.
Mrs. Fred Boughton.
Members of the Ladies Aid society
of the Universalist church went to a
farm house near Airport to spend the
afternoon. 1t was nearly dark when
they started on the return trip to
the city. The occupants of the lead
ing sleigh saw the train approaching
as they neared the Shawmut crossing.
The driver urged his horses ahead
and the sleigh passed over the tracks
in safety.
The women in the first sleigh then
attempted to warn those in the one
following of the danger and they did
succeed in directing their atten-
tion to the rapidly approaching train.
The driver pulled up his horses, but
he could not check the heavy bob
sled quick enough and when it came
to a standstill the box of the sleigh
was directly across the railroad track.
The pilot of the engine struck the
sleigh with great force, reducing it to
splinters and hurting the women in all
directions. Every woman on the
sleigh was killed or injured.
The other members of the party
hurried back to the assistance of their
unfortunate companions and the train
was stopped and backed up to the
crossing
The bodies of the dead were placed
upon the train and the injured were
laid upon improvised cots in the bag
gage car. The train then proceeded
to Hornellsville. The news of the ac-
cident had been telephoned to the city
and hundreds of friends and relatives
of the unfortunate women were wait
ing at the station. The dead were at
once taken to the morgue and the in
jured were taken to Mercy hospital.

Identification.

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 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, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
ren dying on the slopes of Bunker Hill
was not more outrageous than the con-
ditions that a closed shop would force
upon the community. These men burst
into rebellion when the king did but
touch their pockets. Imagine if you
can their indignant protest had he
sought to prohibit or restrict their oc-
cupation or determine the conditions
under which they should earn thei.'
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-
Ter" because the facts are made public.

MINOR LEAGUE DISCUSSION

When the American league basebali
magnates convene at the Hotel Breslin
Thursday they will be confronted by the
minor league problem. which has de-
veloped into what Is said 10 be n deem
rooted conspiracy against the very life
Of Ban Johnson organization. The
scheme was hatched late last fall. so n
IL said. and the only way II can be blocked
is by n backdown on the part OF the
American league. The National league
and the Eastern league are the arch
conspirators. The National league has
not given up its fight against the Amerl-
can league. although a nominal peace was
declared a year ago.
The National league men are figuring on
an ultimate victory by cornering the
market for players. They figure that the
American league stars cannot last for
ever. and that bv combining with the
minor leagues. which develop the young
bloods Nv the score each year they will
soon ne able 70 freeze johnson and COM
pany cut entirely.
This is why the minor leagues have
made their demands TO have the draft.
