 This Is the reply: The labor trust has seen fit to try to ruin our bust ness because we would not join Ils criminal conspiracy. We are plain American citizens and differ from the labor union plan In that we do not force people to strike picket, boycott, assault, blow up property or commit murder.
 We do not pay thugs $20 to break in the ribes of any man who tries to sup port his family n9T $50 for~un eye kn ocked 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 abiding peacedbIe union man and a most earnest desire to see him gain power enough to purge the unions of thelr criminal practices that have brought down upon them the righteous denunciatlon of a long-suf- 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 denunciating of the des- positism which trdmples 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 harken to the cries for bread of the little children whose faithful fathers were beaten to death while striving to earn foou TOT them.
 Your boycott may perhaps succeed in throwing our people out of work and driving us from business but you cannot wrench from us that price less jewel our fathers fought for and which every true son gulrds with his life. Therefore. speaking for our work people and ou selves the infamous offer Is declined"
