Trust perhaps numbers two million with
a creator part of that number unwilling,
and the remaining 100000 of the
common people have something to say
when their interests are at stake.
Now notice how the labor leaders try
to force the union men to be aliens and
oppose the citizens whenever a question
Of public interest arises:
A town starts to build courthouse
and give work to its citizens who spend
their money there but are not members
Of the labor trust; Immediately the
trust demands all the work and that it
be taken away from the antitrust citi-
zens. A riot breaks out and the labor
trust seeks to destroy the courthouse
and force the people to 20 further into
their pockets and pay the losses. The
peace officers Of the people, in their
pay, seek to preserve the peace and
save the property; Immediately the
unions "protest'' and exert every
means in their power to prevent the
officers from protecting the people and
their property. 49,. ...
The same policy crops out in every
effort of the community to protect itself
and the common people from the op-
ers oppose the police, oppose the militia,
the courts, laws, manual training
schools, education of apprentices and
every other act or movement that bene-
fits the people but curbs the lawless
license and stays the oppressive hand of
that trust.
This and preceding newspaper an
nOuncements from my pen regarding the
labor trust and suggesting remedies are
paid for from the proceeds Of the bust
ness Of making Postum Food Coffee and
Grape-Nuts.
I,le labor trust (not our own work
,,.en) has conducted long and persist
- It war of boycott and impudent tyr
my in an expressed determination to
lin that business, because we declined
ers when ordered to by the labor trust
! their efforts to g break up such pa
,ers. We refused to join these con-
,jpiracies and steadfastly maintained
,ur right to be free American citizens,
md not slaves. But hell hath no fury
ike that Of the labor trust when its
orders are not obeyed, and the
.epths Of trickery, boycott, lying and
Ill the black pools of labor union ven
90 ruin us, which might have been eff
fective but for the magnificent rally
TO our support by the great American
public, whose members will not, when
they know it, tolerate such trust op-
preston and prefer to actively rebuke
it by buying our products. These ma
licious acts Of the labor trust reused
us to the dangerous condition in which
vhe people are placed by the labor
for freedom It has been a public work
in the interests of humanity, trying to
rouse the people to act for their own
protection. ~.
The Postum Co. owns space in nearly
every prominent paper in America and
has a right to use that space for its
public announcements, Of which this is
| one. %. '.-, &"s. F.
Such papers naturally must publish
paid-for advertisements under contract
no matter how the labor trust may OBJ
| iect to having the facts made public.
This article you are now reading has
| been sent to practically every promi
nent paper in America with offer to
pay our regular rates: for it's insertion
! 1t has not been sent to the "yellow'
journals, for they are open enemies OF
the citizens of any community who
cannot bring ourselves to pay money tt
support anarchy and murder breeders.
| A few papers to whom it has beer
|
They fear the labor trust.
They publish free. day by day, ar
ticles fattering to that trust.
| They wilfully kill - any news detri
mental to the trust, smother the items
Of violence and lawlessness, and licl
the boots Of the labor leaders no mat
| the publisher inwardly hates himsel1
for his prostitution.
Such papers are the most poisonous
enemies ef the common people.
They pander to the organized few
the 100000 trust members, and are to,
cowardly to speak for the 78,0OO,00t
citizens, because the latter are general
" unorganized and do not have commit
tees to protest to the publisher. Blu
it is high time for the people to TAX
misleading papers. The citizens wan
all the facts spread before them, s.
they can reach an intelligent conclusion
on these subjects, and the papers tina
suppress one set Of facts and, thru fea
Of a trust, make public only the pre-
JUDGED statements of that trust, shout,
be known, and they can be known

with no paper on the 4th buy the issu

does not contain this article, you ca
know it as one of the "smooth enc

write the publisher and ask him why
fears to allow the cause Of the citize
to be presented in his columns an
why he allies himself on the side Of tn

people or it Is under control Of the Is
Dor or some other trust. Find out an
this is q sure way.
j Then let the advertisers ask the pull
Usher Of that paper why he fears t
stand out frankly for the. citizens an
the good Of the community. Why b
panders to trust seeking in every VIA
