1t and when. These are the reasons pure and
simple, and the publc-you and must suffer
Inconvenience and loss. and ultimately pay all
the bills, for maintaining order by our city,
county or State authorities the total cost OF
prosecuting the criminals, and on top of all
that, we the public, must pay whatever raise in
wages Is made TO buy off the trouble makers.
II is the people who suffer and pay.
Suppose the Union" flour millers go on strike
for raise from So to s. day and tie up or
blow up the mills and finally secure the advance
III wages. That advance must be put on the
price or flour and the people pay IL, and also
pay all costs for suppresSing the rioters.
so we see few men become avariciOus for
money. form 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
unchecked Is it not time the people took steps
to protect themselves from this violent and
grasptng trust?
ALL JOIN
Suppose every one of us adopts the Labor
Union idea labor trusO and by combination
force every one else that doesn't belong to our
Union to buy what we have 10 sell at our price.
or slug the life out of them.
Let the farmers union set the price of wheat
at S2O bushei, and picket, assault or kill the
miller and blow up his mill if he tries to buy
wheat at less price Of any one but Il Union"
farmer.
Then the millers union sets the price of -four
at $50 barrel, and calls every one '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 we'll as en-
ployers, would have to pay about STS q barrel
extra every barrel of flour to the little labor
trust of mllers. Some one says, that's ex-
treme." 1t Is not, but is exactly what would
happen If that particular union got power
enough. You see the only limit to the avari-

at large, when they abused long and hard
enough TO rise and quash ii.
Then let the water works Union set the
price of 81 pail for drinking water and boy
colt and assault the family that 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
hearse overturned if an independent funeral be
attempted
OIL TRUST
The Oh Trust is peaceable organization
compared with the riOtous arrogant and law
breaking labor trust, a menace to every citizen
Including the upright members of the Unions
themselves.
Is public contract to be let Immediately a
demand is made that only Our Union" be en-
ployed and receive the peoples money and
threats Of all sorts of political defeat and dire
disaster are made. Suppose quarry trust
should demand that no other stone be used or
the Steel Trust make similar demand and act
ually tie up the work TO enforce orders
What a howl would go up But the public
has foolishly cuddled these Labor Unions until
they have become diseased and are Il public
menace and nuisance.
Every one 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 prose
cuted.
These labor union manpuators, and some
members of unions are out and out anarchists
and dangerous enemies to the public
Their minds turn to anarchy mo law" just
as true as needle turns to the north pole
Have careful look at the stock and see.
OPPOSE POLICE
When a manufacturer cannot afford to pay
the price asked for labor the unions in order
to force him, go on a 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 who have
labor to sell and who become outlaws. and ban |
dts under the leadership of anarchists The
police are hired by the peoples money to pro-
GERS appear do the Unions show genuine Amer
lean 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 sherifs. Militia
or Regulars Why: Only one reason they want
to commit crimes and hate anything or any one
that checks them.
MILITIA MEMBERS
Are discharged from the Unions. You see
here the same criminal instinct allied in oppo
sition TO the peoples protectors Why do they
want the Militia broken up-so they can riot |
and burn at pleasure?
ANTl-INJUNCTIoN BILL.
This has been pushed hard before Congress
by the Labor leaders 1t is a bill "a take away
from the courts any right to issue restrain

Under the present wise laws for the protection
of life and property, when it seems clear that

Does the anarchist spirit show?
UNIONS PROTECT CRIMINALS
When Union men are caught assaulting. burn !
