IL is believed b. many that one Of
the chief causes Of the panic and pres
ent hard times was the persistent and
widespread interference with, and stop
page Of industry brought about by these
same Labor Socialists in driving away
business and preventing the steady dis
tribuIiOn of money among the working
classes. Every million dollars worth

Boots and Shoes, Steel, Iron, LOcomO-
tiyes, Cars Cotton Goods. etc. etc.

who dig ore and smeIt it moulders who
cast the iron, machinists, wOod-workers,
cotton mill employees, etc. etc. But
the L.abOr-SociaIists have time and
again stopped up the source OF this
flow OF money and have eutalled on this
country millions upon millions Of dol
lars in losses and. consequently, much
misery upon work-people.
The Labor leaders have brought
strikes TO force all employers 10 kick
out independent American wOrkmen
and employ only Union" men. thus
TO give absolute power 10 the leaders,
secure fees TO pay their own salaries
first and, in order to keep their slaves
F- d
wages. Here we reach the foundation
fact again.
Now, when the jobs the Labor-So-
cialists threw away. are taken by
others. or the business has been killed
for the time, and they are "uneDl-
ployed." do they pay their own ex-
penses or do they besiege the authori-
ties TO tax the class Of HOme-OWneTs
10 pay extra money towards a public
fund TO be used to pay the class Of
unemployed LabOr-S Socialists?
Here the line between classes IS clear
Iy drawn and you get back again 10
the same old spot. Take from one
class and give TO the other"
Make the consumer pay extra
money and give It 10 the Labor-So-
cialists."
charge the Home-Owner extra
wages for all labor which enters into
the building Of his home"
HE has been saving, now let's take
away part Of it,"
High wage for sIillfuI work IS desir-
able for all, but when a Labor Union
gains power enough to force home
owners TO pay two, three or four times
what h5d-carriers and other wOrkmen
are &C tualIy worth It means just so
much extra money extracted from the
home-owner, more than the service is
worth.
It comes back TO the same old place
you see. Look at the purpose Of all
the anti-injunction bills introduced by
the I.abor-Socialists. Each and every
one seeks to tie the hands Of the peo-
pIe's courts. and for what purpOse2
No Injunction issued In labor strikes
ever harmed an honest citizen, intend
ing 20 peacefully pursue his OcCupa-
ton.
Iniunctions stop mObs. intent on in
suIting. assaulting, and, perhaps, muir
dering other citizens, from congregating.
The Labor-Socl alist raises a loud cry
because he is commanded by a court
TO keep Oft the public street near a fac
tory employing independent men.
The injunction always directs the
man or men to stay off certain streets
or refrain from doing other things,
when it is reasonably well known they
intend TO go on those streets or do
those acts, to insult or assault citizens
or destroy property. The peaceful citi-
zen is never hurt by an Injunction IN
a labor case and the courts have a
right to prevent injury TO the interests
of any community But injuncuons
DO prevent LabOr-SOcialists from ter
rorizing people into submission to the
Labor trust.
Therefore, in order TO secure sub
mission and power to extract from the
employer extra money. Jhey contend
the injunction must be done away with.
Every public man who supports any
seeking to reduce the power
Of the courts in order to make it more
difficult for them TO protect property
and the person of the common citizen
is an enemy Of Home-Owners and an
ally Of the Labor-Socialists
Watch such public men-particularly
those who want to revise the criminal
code injunction laws. They want TO
