They're After You

Of ships and Ry. cars: stopped work on
buildings the mining OF sold. silver. cop
per and coal stopped the manufacture OF
millions of dollars worth OF American ar
tieles which foreigners stood ready to pay
money for,
II Is believed by many that one Of the
chief causes Of the panic and present hard
times was the persistent and widespread
interference with. and stoppage OF industry
brought about by these same Labor-Social-'
lists in driving away business and prevent
ing the steady distribution OF money among
the working classes. Every million dollars
worth Of Steam Pumps. Farm Implements,
Boots and Shoes. Steel. Iron. Locomotives.
Cars. Cotton Goods. etc, etc. sent abroad
bring back q million dollars TO be dis
tributed to the workmen. who dig ore and
smelt it: moulders who cast the iron,
machinists wood-workers. cotton mill EN-
ployees. etc. etc. But the Labor-sociallsts
have time and again stopped up the source
OF this flow OF money and have entailed
on this country millions upon millions of
dollars in losses and. consequently. much
misery upon work-people.
The labor leaders have brought strikes
to force all employers to kick out inde-
pendeut American workmen and employ
only Union" men. thus to give absolute
mower to the leaders. secure fees to pay
their own salaries first and. in order to
keep their slaves interested. force higher
aud higher wages. Here we reach the
foundation fact sgain.
Now, when the jobs the Labor-Socialists
threw away, are taken BY others or the
business has been killed for the time, and
they are unemployed" do they pay
their own expenses OF do they besiege the
authorities TO tax the class Of Home
Owners to pay extra money towards a
public fund to be used TO pay the class
of unemployed Labor-Socialists? /.
Here the line between classes is clearly
drawn and you get back again to the
same old spot. Take from one class
and give to another"
Make the consumer pay extra money
and give IL TO the Labor-sociaIists."

for all labor which enters into the

BILE for all. but when a Labor Union gains

worth IL means just so much extra money
extracted from the home-owner. more than
the ssrVics II worth.
1t comes back TO the same old place you
see Look al the purpose Of all the anti
injunction bills introduced by the Labor
Socialists. Each and every one seeks TO
tie the hands Of the peoples courts. and
for what purpose? NO injunction issued

Labor-socialist raises loud cry because
he is commanded by a court TO keep off
