Nuts.
This Is the reply: THE labor trust
has seen ft to try TO ruin our business
because we would not Join its GRIM
inal conspiracy. We are plain Ameri-
n citizens and differ from the labor
union plan In that we do not force
people 20 strike, picket, boycott. as
sault blow up property or commit
murder.
We do not pay thugs $40 to break
In the ribs OF any man who tries 10
support his family nor $50 for an eye
knocked out.
We try to show our plain, homes.
regard for sturdy and independent
workmen by paying the highest wages
In the State.
We have n steady. u%nvnryin. respect
for the law abiding ~pcaceabie union
IA and u most earnest desire 20 see
him gain power enough 20 purge the
unions OF their criminal practices that
have brought down upon them the
righteous denunclatlon OF a long-suf-
fering and outraged public. but we
will not fRwn, trucklc. bend the knee.
yea the hated collar OF white slavery.

American citizenship under orders"
OF any labor trust.
You offer 10 remove tho restriction
on our business and with union" gold
choke the throat and stlll the voice
raised In stern dcnunciation OF the des-
potism which tramplcs beneath an
iron shod heel. the freedom OF our
brothers.
You would sag us with a silver bar
and mufric the appeal 70 the American
people 10 harken 10 the cries for bread
OF the little children whose faithful
fathers were beaten Co death while
striving TO earn food for them.
Your boycott may perhaps succeed
In throwing people M OF work

cannot wrench from Us that priceless
jewel ouT fathers fought fn- aud which
