What For?
All this Interference with the af-
fairs Of the people, the violence and
criminal ugliness is first to sell labor
at higher prices than the market rate
and next to show the men who buy
labor that they have no right to say
how that labor shall be used, but that
the workman shall say what he shall
do, how he shall do it and when.
These are the reasons pure and SIM
pie, and the public-you and I-must
suffer Inconvenience and loss, and ul-
timately pay al the bills. for maintain
ing order by our city, county or state
authorities, the total cost of prosecut-
ing the criminals and on top of all
that, we, the public must pay what
evers raise in wages is made to buy
of the trouble-makers. 1t is the peo-
pie who suffer and pay.
Suppose the Union" -four millers go
on strike for a raise from SO to IS n
day and tie up or blow up the mills
and finally secure the advance in
wages. That advance must be put OH
the price of flour, and the people pay
it. and also pay all costs for sup-
pressing the rioters.
So we see a few men become avari-
clous for money form a labor trust
and by coercion force the rest of the
people in the United States to submit
to the impudence and arrogance and
also pay all the bills. There would be
no limit to the abuse IL the Unions
had their own way unchecked. Is il
not time the people took steps to pro-
tect themselves from this violent and
grasplng trust?
All Join
Suppose every one of us adopts the
Labor Union idea Oabor trusD and by
combination force everyone else that
doesn't belong to our Union to buy
what we have to sell at our price, OF
slug the life out of them.
Let the farmers union set the price
of wheat at 500 a bushel, and picket
assault or kin the miller and blow ur
his mill if he tries to buy wheat at
less price Of anyone but a Union far
lmer. eF@ tHAA
Then the millers' union sets the
price Of -four at SS5 a barrel. and calls
everyone a "scab" that refuses TO buy
-four with the Union Label" on, and
turns over the wagons, kills the horses
and beats the drivers Of any "scab'
miller, Then everybody, workmen as
well as employers would have to pay
SIS barrel extra on every barrel of
flour to the little labor trust of millers
Someone says. that's extreme" 1t is
mot. but is exactly what would happen
/ If that particular union got power
enough. You see the only limit to the
lavariciousness of a labor trust is set
by the people at large, when they arc
labused long and hard enough to rise
and quash it.
Then let the water works Union
set the price of 81 a pail for drinking
water and boycott and assault the
family that uses its own well water
you are no friend of the Union mar
IL you don't drink union water
Finally the undertakers' Union
fixes the price of a burial at $3.50 (anl
price they set "goes" for that's the un.
ION rule) and the poor corpse whos'
relatives can't borrow or beg th'
price to pay the Union" must e
without the privilege or be dumped
into the street and the hearse over
turned If an Independent funeral b,
ATTEMPTED.
Oil Trust
The oil Trust is a peaceable organ
lization compared with the riotous, ar
rogant and lawbreaking labor trust
a menace to every citizen includinl
the upright members of the Union
themselves.
Is a public contract to be let, i'm
mediately a demand is made that onl'
I"Our Union" be employed and receiv
the peoples money and threats Of al
sorts of political defeat and dire dis
aster are made Suppose QUAR-
trust should demand that no othe
stone be used or the Steel Trust max
) similar demand and actually tie u
o the work to enforce orders"
What a howl would go up but tn

Everyone comedies the right Of an
