The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-10-20

1t has been a struggle to get before
the people the dangerous facts, the
hidden underground facts, relating to
the plans for control of the liberties
and affairs of the common citizens by
the adroit managers of the huge la
Dor Trust" known as the American
Federation of Labor.
These managers are seeking power
even superior to that of the President
Of the United States.
Nonsense someone says. Well,
let's have a look.
When l first started publishing these
articles discussing labor matters, near
ly the entire list of papers published
them, but there were few afraid to
print them altho offered full pay.
Afraid the labor leaders would boy
colt them, afraid the unions in their
own printing department would strike
and afraid on general principles.
Here was a sample of the "muzzled
press" the subtle enemy of the COM
mon people
\ Fair Union Men.
To the credit of the typographical
union let it be said the majority of its
members are too intelligent to refuse
to set type on either side in discus
sion of a principle, realizing that the
columns of a newspaper must be IN.
hampered.
However in some Offices less wis
dom was shown and the papers re-
fused TO print the discussion.
In one article 1 invited readers to
scan the pages of various papers OF
that date and if the announcement
failed to appear, write and ask the
publisher why"
His only good excuse would be mo
contract with Post" But when he
got angry and began to offer various
and sundry other reasons, it became
plain to the enquirer that it was left
out through pitiable fear.
The discovery by readers that a
favorite newspaper feared to print
matter written for and in the inter
est of the thirty-nine citizens out OF
every forty, (only one union man in
every forty citizens) produced dis
gust and diStrust hard TO overcome.
When the rights of the common peo-
pie cannot be defended in the news
papers because of fear of some organ
ization, either of capital or labor, the
enslavement of citizens has reached
dangerous point and the papers
which refuse to stand for the rights
and freedom of the great reading and

serve.
Those readers who would like to
have printed the names of a few
papers and public servants who have
been lax in support of the rights of
the people when assailed by class or
CARNATIONS are invited to make
known their wishes by mail address

Have You Noticed,
Reader, how adroitly the Leaders
of the Labor Trust work to gain more
and more control over the liberties of
the people?
Do you realize they are aiming at
absolute domination of the daily af
fairs Of citizens?
Do you think it would be safe to al
low yourself to be gradually tied
hand and foot until your inherited
freedom and liberty was taken from
you? Have a look at their methods
and draw your own conclusions.

State and National officers and public
men. either of defeat Or violence for
judges and jurors, and the number of
citizens assaulted or murdered and
