| trouble makers. 1t is the people who
suffer and pay.
Suppose the Union" flour millers
go on strike for raise from SO to IS
a day and tie up or blow up the mills
and finally secure the advance in
wages That advance must be put on
the price of flour and the people pay
! it, and also pay all costs for suppress
| ing the rioters.
So we see a few men become avari-
/ ciouS 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 if the
Unions had their own way uncheck-
! ed. Is it not time the people took
! steps to protect themselves from this
violent and grasping trust?
! ALL JOIN
Suppose every one of us adopts the
Labor Union idea (labor trusD and
! by combination force everyone else
| that doesn't belong to our Union to
! buy what we have to sell at our price,
or slug the life out of them.
Let the farmers union set the price
of wheat at $40 a bushel, and picket,
assault or kill the miller and blow
up his mill if he tries to buy wheat
at less price of anyone but "Union"
| farmer.
Then the millers union sets the
price of flour at sos a barrel, and
| calls everyone "scab" that refuses to
| buy flour with the Union Label on,
and truns over the wagons, kills the
! horses and beats the drives of any
"scab" miller. Then everybody, work.
men as well as employers, would have
to pay about SIS a barrel extra on
! every barrel of -four to the little Ia
Dor trust of millers. Some one says,
| that's extreme" 1t is not, but is eX-
| actly what would happen if that par
| ticular union got power enough. You
| see the only limit to the avariciousnesS
! of labor trust is set by the people at
! large, when they are abused 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 man
! if you don't drink union water"
Finally the undertakers Union"
/ fixes the price of a burial at $3.50 (any
price they set goes" for that's the
union rule), and the poor corpse
whose relatives can't borrow or beg
the price to pay the Union" must go
| without the privilege or be dumped
! into the street and the hearsc over
! turned if an independent funeral be
| attempted.
OIL TRUST
The Oil Trust is peaceable organi-
zaton compared with the riotOus, ar
rogant and lawbreaking labor trust, Il
| menace to every citizen including the
upright members of the Unions them
selves.
Is d public contract to be let. i'm
mediately a demand is made that only
"Our Union be employed and receive
the peoples money and threats of all
| sorts of political defeat and dire dis
! aster are made. Suppose a quarry
! trust should demand that no other
stone be used or the Steel Trust make
/ similar demand and actually tie up
4 the work to enforce orders
What howl would go up, but the
public has fooIishly cuddled these La
! Dor Unions until they have become
! diseased and are public menace and
| nuisance.
Everyone comedies the right of any
religious body, fraternal society, or
! labor union to set up rules for their
own guidance. But they have no right
whatsoever to make laws for the con-
! troll of other people and when they
interfere and force their presence
! where they are not wanted they should
! be locked up and prosecuted.
| These labor union manipulators, and
| some members of unions are out and
| out anarchists and dangerous enemies
to the public.
Their minds turn to anarchy or mo
! law just as true as a needle turns
| to the north pole.
Have a careful look at the stock and
OPPOSE POLICE
! When a manufacturer cannot afford
! to pay the price asked for labor, the
| unions, in order to force him, go on
strike, picket boycott, riot and set up
| general disorder. Then the police are
| called in to preserve peace There
has been no disorder by the man who
! buys labor. 1t is only caused by the
men who have labor to sell and who
| become outlaws and bandits under the
| leadership of anarchists. The police
arc hired by the peoples money to
/ protect the community but when these
| peace officers appear do the Unions
! show genuine American citizenship,
and that desire for peace, and the
| maintenance of the peoples laws that
! marks the true man and patriot?
| Never! They hiss and stone the police
| shoot them when they dare, and when
whipped into a semblance of decency
| loudly protest in every possible way
against the presence of police. sheriffs,
Militia or Regulars. Why? Only one
| reason, they want to commit crimes
! and hate anything or anyone that
checks them.
| MILITIA MEMBERS
| Are discharged from the Unions.
| You see here the same criminal in
stinct allied in opposition to the peo-
pies protectors. Why do they want
| the militia broken up--so they can
! riot and burn at pleasure?
! ANTI INJUNCTION BILL
This has been pushed hard before
! Congress by the Labor leaders. 1t is
bill to take away from the courts
any right to issue a restraining order
| to prevent the commission of crime
! Under the present wise laws for the
protection of life and property, when
| it seems clear that striking Union
men, bandits. and outlaws plan to at
| tack other men or destroy property,
| the court can issue an order or in
| junction commanding them to desist
or refrain from doing such unlawful
act. This has been a great preventa-
! tive of crime and can never harm any
! peaceable person but the unions"
| have the appalling impudence to ask
Congress to pass a bill to tie the
| hands of every court and thus allow
| the Union strikers full sway to assault
dynamite burn and destroy without
hindrance. Does the anarchist spirit
show?
