They stopped the loading and un
loading of ships and Ry. cars; stop
ped work on buildings, the mining o
gold, silver, copper and coal Stop
ped the manufacture of millions o
dollars worth of American articles
which foreigners stood, ready TO pa!
money for.
1t is believed by many that ONT
of the chief causes OF the panic an
present hard times was the persisten
and widespread interference with, AM
stoppage OF. industry brought abou
by these same Labor-Socialists il
driving away business and prevent
ling the steady distribution of money
among the working classes. Every
million dollars worth OF Steam
Pumps, Farm Implements, Boots anC
tShoes, Steel Iron, Locomotives, Cars
Cotton Goods, ETC., etc., sent abroad
llbrings back a million dollars to be
distributed to the workmen, who dig
ore and smeIt it; moulders who cast
the iron, machinists, wood-workers
cotton mill employees, etc, etc. But
the LalborSocilaists 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, consequent
| ly, much misery upon work-people.
The Labor leaders have brought
strikes to force all employers to kick
out Independent American workmen
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
foundation fact again.
Now when the jobs the Labor-So-
cialists threw away, are taken by
others, or the business has been kill
ed for the time, and they are ''unem-
ployed," do they pay their own ex-
penses or do they besiege the au-
thorities to tax the class of Home
Owners to pay extra money towards
public fund to bel used to pay the
| ''class" Of unemployed LaIbor-Social-
lists?
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 it to the Labor-So-
cialists.''
Charge the Home-owner extra
wages for all labor which enter into
''He has been saving, now let's take
away part of it,
High wage for skillful work is de-
siraible for all, but when a Labor
Union gains power enough to force
home-owners to pay two, three or
four times what hod-carriers and 9TH
er workmen are actually worth it
means just so much extra money ex
tracted from the home-owner, more
than the service is worth.
1t comes back to the same old
place, YOU see. Look at the purpose
OF all the anti-injunction bills intro
duced by the Labor-Socialists. Each
and every enc seeks to tie the hands
OF the peoples courts, and for what
purpose No Injunction issued in la
Dor strikes ever harmed an honest
citizen, intending to peacefully pur-
sue his occupation.
lnjunctions stop nobs, intent on in
sulting, assaulting and perhaps MUIR
oeflnS other citizens, from congregat-
ing. The Labor4Sociaist raises a |
LOUD cry because be is commanded by
a 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 reIraln from doing other things,
when IL 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 citizen is never hurt by an
Injunction in a labor case and the
courts have right to prevent injury
to the interests of any community.
But Inuncticns do prevent Labor-Sc-
ciaiists from terrorizing people into
submission 10 the Labor trust.
Therefore, in order to secure sub |
mission and power 10 extract from the
employer extra money, they contend
the injunction must be done away |
with.
Every public man who supports
any measure 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 COM
mon citizen is an enemy of Home |
Owners and an ally of the Labor |
Socialists.
Watch such public men-particuIar-t
~ those who want to revise the |
criminal code Injunction laws. They
want to make it easier for mobs to |
do damage and escape punishment. |
Their names viii be printed broad |
cast later on so that the people may
know.
