Arizona republican., 1906-07-04


 hope to be able to name the members of state legislature and congress, and, carried far enough, it can easily be seen that it would expect to elect trust members from President of the U. S. on down through all the offices. Such control would mean that the trust members fatten off the people. who are not members of the unions. and from past experience, life would not be worth living nor could the common man hope to own and protect his little home, in peace. This is no fancy pie ture but the conditions are being press ed and fought for by the labor trust right here and now.
 There are literally thousands of splendid men. members of unions, who heartily but silently denounce the acts Of the anarchists and trouble breeders in the unions. But what can they do? 1 have seen some of the most earnest letters from such union men 10 ..ews- papers appealing to the public to hear of their slavery, but when asked if they would allow the letters printed over their names, decline for fear of the certain punishment that would be put upon them by the trust leaders.
 One sample will illustrate. Otto C. Heggen, of Des Moines. la. a naturaliz- ed citizen of Norwegian nativity, tes- tifies in this connection:
 'Why do I wish no longer to be a citizen?" he repeated, speaking in slow and labored English, with the unmistakable Norwegian accent. Be cause this is no longer a free coun- try. An honest man who wants to work and support his family must pay tax to the union. I had a good job at the Bloomfield mine as blacksmith Then the miners organized their union, and they said I must pay tax to them or else quit my job.
 "I believe in freedom. That is why I left the dear old fatherland thought that here in America I would have greater rights and that my chil- dren and my children's children would have a better chance, but instead we must take our hard-earned dollars and pour them into the union. If they make a strike, as they do so much, must quit work no matter if am con- tent with everything. Maybe I must fight and get killed"
 It behooves every free workman who hopes to preserve his right to work and support his family, who hopes to hold and save his home and other property, every union man who hopes to escape further tyranny, every merchant who hopes to escape the sudden boycott every farmer who hopes to postpone the day when his wheat and other crops oveTripe and spelling he is con fronted with a strike and his farm picketed, horses, cows, family and property threatened and the usual lab or trust warfare set up against him. and it behooves every patriotic citizen who hopes to keep the industries in his community moving and the people dependent upon them supplied with the necessities of life. to join with every other citizen for protection to the common interest.
 Let every candidate for office be watched, and if. when questioned" by the labor trust, he agrees to represent that trust and it's measures in opposi- tion to the measures of the people, remember him.
 The man who goes into office pledged to any man, corporation, organization. or trust, is lined up against the people. The beef trust congressman or one rep resenting the oil, railroad or labor trust must work for the trust that put him there, and whatever advantage a trust gains in the making or execu- ton of laws must be an advantage gained at the expense of the common citizen.
 There is no other way for the trusts to fatten and thrive except upon the people outside the trust. The labor trust tries to pass laws to prevent any one buying labor except from members of the labor unions. and at any price fn This trust does not ask congress to pass a law to prevent employers or common citizens from assaulting or murdering labor union members or blowing up their houses.
 Such a law is not necessary to the trust but it does seek with all its pow CT to force a law through Congress, called the Anti Injunction law, to tie the hands or the courts, so they can- not issue restraining orders or ''in- functions" which would have the ef- feet of restraining" union men from assaulting citizens or blowing up houses or property.
 Is it not plain they want to be left free to do those things?
 Think for one moment of the audac- ity and desperate lengths to which the labor trust leaders will go to terrorIze and force the public to obey" What foreign squad of bandits would dare ask for laws to protect them in their raids on the people? No man is safe and no family protected with such riot and anarchy rampant in our midst.
 The public man who will sell himself to any trust interest and betray the people richly deserves the certain de- feat he will encounter at the polls when his sentiments become known.
 Demand of your candidate a state ment that he will stand to represent the whole people and not simply the few members of any trust or organiza- ton. Just so sure as a public man bows to the labor trust and agrees to do its will, just so sure he deserts the people and joins the aliens working to extract extra gain from the public. He must be looked at for exactly what he is and the people must elect their own candidates and not trust candidates if they care to DreSerVp sacred their frRa-
