7 ness. compelling other worknen to lie idle.
| They stopped the loading and unloading of
| sI,irs and P1f cars: stopDed work on buildings,
the mining of gold. silver, copper and coal
Stopped the manufacture Of millions of dollars
| worth of American articles which foreigners
stood ready to pay money for,
1t 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 Socialists i'll driving away
business and preventing the steady distribution
| of money among the working classes. Every
| million dollars worth Of Steam Pumps, Farm I'M
Elements, Boots and Shoes, Steel, Iron, Locomo-
tives Cars. Cotton Goods. etc. etc. sent abroad,
brings back a million dollars to be distributed
! Ia the workrnen who dig ore and Smelt II;
| Tnouiders who cast the iron n1achinists. wood
| workers. cotton mill employees. etc, etc But the
| Labor Socialists have time and again stopped
entailed on this country millions upon millions
| of dollars in losses and, consequently, much
misery upon wOrkpeople-
The Labor leaders have brought strikes 10
| force all employers to kick out INDEPENDENT
| American work1nen and employ only Union
men thus TO give absolute power TO the leaders,
| secure fees to pay their own salaries first and.
| in order to keep their slaves interested, force
| higher and higher wages Here We reach the
| Vow. when the jobs the Labor Socialists
! threw away, are taken by others. OF the bust
| ness has been killed for the time. and they are
| UNEMPLOYED. do they pay theiT own expenses
| or do they besiege the authorities to tax the
ards 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 the other"
Make the consumer pay extra money and
! give if TO the Labor Socialists
Charge the Home-oWner extra wages for all
| labor which enters into the building of his
| home
High wage for skillful work is desirable for
| all but when Labor Union gains power
enough to force honle-owner to pay two, three
| or four times what hodcarrers and other work
| men arc actually worth it means tIst so much
extra money extracted from re home-owner.
! more than the service is worth
II comes back 70 the old place, you
see. Look at the purpose of all the anti -intunc
| ton 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 in labor strikes ever harmed
honest citizen. intending to peacefully pursue
his occupation.
Injunctions stop mobs. intent on insulting.
assaulting and perhaps numbering other citi-
zens. from cOngregating- The Labor Socialist
raises q loud cry because he is commanded by
court to keep off the public street near a
factory employing independent men.
The injunction always directs the man or men
to stay off certain streets or refrain from doing
they intend to go on those streets or do those
acts, TO insult. Or assault citizens or destroy
property The peaceful citizen is never hurt
by an injunction in Il labor and the courts
have right prevent injury to the interests
| Of any community. But injunctions do prevent
! Labor Socialists from terrorzing people into
submission to the Labor trust
Therefore, in order to secure submission and
power TO extract from the employer extra
money they contend the injunction must be
done away with.
Every public who supports any measure
seeking TO reduce the power Of the courts in
order to make 1t difficult for them TO pro
tect property and the person of the common
| citizen IS enemy of Home Owners and an
ally Of the Labor Socialists
Watch such public nler-oarticuIarIy those
who want 20 revise the criminal code fntunc-
tion laws. They want to make II easier for
nobs TO do damage and escape punishment
Their names viii be printed broadcast later on
so that the people may know.
Sc-ns public men are like some newspapers
they make the mistake Of believing the Labor,
