make 1t easier for mobs to do damage ! and escape punishment. Their names
 will be printed broadcast later on so that the people may know
 Some public men are like some news- papers, they make the mistake of be- lieving the Labor Socialists are a ma 1ority because they make the most noise, but it has been shown time and again that when public man prosti- tutes his ideas of right, and justice to the common citizen, and supports meas ures which seek to take money, prop erty and liberty away from the home- owners and the people find it out as they will, the cowardly official is gen. erally defeated at the next electioas for the liberty loving. peaceable Home Owning class of Americans heavily outnumber the Labor Socialists. and these Home Owners are the principal
 readers and supporters of the news papers
 The law-defiers are organized and able
 to present organized effort againsts heretofore, an unorganized public. Now. however, the Home Owners have enected an organization known as the Citzens Industrial Assn of America With Cen-
 tral body in New York and local bodies
 in many towns and cities. Competent law
 
 measures introduced in, Congress and the
 Legislatures and defend the rights of the
 common Citizens from these insldious at+
 tacks and to prevent the enactment or
 laws which rob one class, the Home-'
 Owners and pass over to the l4abof-So-
 cialists, money and property which they
 do not earn, and power which would en-
 able them to ensave the common people
 and force them to .obey." All Of this
 work requires money for legitimate ex~
 penses. Every reader who feels a deslro
 to help in this organized work Of protec-
 tion can forward to the National C1tizenS
 Industrial Ass'n., St. James Building, N-
 Y. such contributions as he decides upon.
 from s1 % to S5O000. The work is now
 being carried and with gratifying re-
 suits It can be widely extended ana
 more certain protection insured by em-
 blowing & larger force of active workers.
 The Labor Socialists contribute literally
 for the support of their organization and
 the common Home Owners are but just
 now beginning to learn that they are III
 oanger of most serious consequences nn-
 legs a determined organized stand is made
 and the work of protection carried on
 intelligently, skillfully and with means
 enough to make it effective.
 The officers and directors of this Na-
 tional Assn are sufficiently well known
 to insure careful and honest use or funas.
 A statement will be sent to each contrip-

 This is a clearly drawn contest between
 the Common citizens and Home-Owners
 seeking protection and the Lapor lrust
 seeking to obtain control of affairs and
 take money and property from the Honle-
 Owners
 The strongest organization will win and
 if the Home Owners fail 70 stand to-
 eether they will certainly lose at least a
 part of their properties and more or less,
 personal liberty. There are communities, now where organized labor has gainedi
 control and every man must DOW ana
 contribute and implicitly 'obey. quicl work when told, patronize those whom the labor leaders designate, and In va rious ways act the slave.
 It has gone so far that juries fear to convict known murderers and whole cohis munities are terrorized.
 Y. s. Judge William Fl. Hunt of Butte. Mont was brave enough to say: God gave man his hands, his back and the right to use them as he pleases-, It Is an inalienable right No power can take it away from man. No power can compel him to work. No power can compel him to stop working if he de-i sires to work. When a man, or any sec of men, take it upon themselves to say that they are the law, and to defy the process of the courts to defy the police authority of the land, to usurp the au- thority of the established government. to upset the very base of society in which we all live there is a power which will come to the rescue Of the man who i is wronged in that way; and that power. is that which protects you and protects me, and must continue to afford us all , prot ection. else government is destroyed"
 For these principles our ancestors laid down their lives. But they stand In the way of the Labor Socialists who now seek to enact laws to overset them. l The common citizen has before him tho {, organized machinery for protection. Will l he support it?
