who asks that the people become
breakers of the law.
I'VE are confident that we
will win in this contest, for it is
contest for principle and for the rights
of American freedom. We know that
the majority of the people are with
us. and that the sentiment of the COM
munity will be found overwhelmingly
in our favor. Labor unions have be-
come arrogant, and II not curtailed
they will bring disaster to the indus
tries of the country. There appears
to be nothing safe from their attacks
The militia is under their ban, and
in place of spending part of their
Sundays at divine worship, you will
find many of them at some hall in
conjunction with a beer saloon dis
cussing how they may annoy reput-
able business interests that have Of
Tended some alleged labor organiza-
tions.
POWER TO BOYCOTT.
This reputed power Of the labor
unions to boycott business will be
shown to be a myth by the time that
this affair is over, and the business
interests Of the city will find that the
boycott will work both ways. We
propose to not furnish aid to the enc
N.Y. and where a man is found who
has not the nerve to assert his inde-
pendence our membership will shun
his business until he is brought to
a realization that he has made mis-
take and that he had better join with
those who believe in American free
dom and independence"
INTERVIEW WITH LABOR LEADER
One of the labor leaders was inter-
viewed and said:
This circular was printed at the
Roller Office and does not amount to
anything The manufacturers asso-
citation has not had meeting for
years, and is practically a dead affair.
The letter head that they sent out
the notice on contains the names Of
people who are dead and who have
left the city. II is only bluff and
1t is doubtful whether the unions will
consider 1t of sufficient importance
to notice. Labor unions are here and
are going to stay, Notwithstanding |
there are some who would like to
have labor in a position where they |
can dictate about wages and hours.
You will find that the people are
with us and these parties who are
back of the manufacturers associa-
ton will be dead ones II they ever
come up for public Office. AS for the
secretary of the committee, he is only
a boy who secured his position because
he would bow to the will of lot of
INSCRIPTIONS Democratic politicians
who are secretly under the control of
the Republican machine. If the DEM
ocratic party wants to meet with over
whelming defeat this fall, all that they
will have to do will be to continue
him at the head of the party and they
will accomplish it. AS for the ability
of these alleged business men the men,
bership begins to LOOK like the ros-
ter of the bankruptcy courts. The
opinion prevails in labor circles that
this manufacturers association was
born at the time of the board of trade
weiner and sauerkraut blowout at
the Garden theatre"
WILL BE BITTER CONTEST
That the contest will be bitter there
is no doubt, and 1t is rumored on the
streets that demand will be made
for the resignation of the secretary
from the secretaryship of the Demo-
cratic committee.
The contest over the eight hour day
commenced two years ago and both
sides have been preparing for the
struggle. The fight has commenced in
almost every large city in the country
and the manufacturers association has
a local organization in almost every
city where there is a contest
