100000 Reward.

1t has been a struggle to get before the
people the dangerous facts, the hidden un-
derground facts, relating to the plans for
control of the liberties and affairs Of the
common citizens by the adroit managers of
the huge Labor 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 1 first started publishing these
articles discussing labor matters, nearly
the entire list Of papers published them,
but there were a few afraid TO print them
altho offered full pay.
Afraid the labor leaders would boycott
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 common
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 discussion of a principle,
realizing that the columns of a newspaper
must be u~nhampered.
However, in some offices, less wisdom
was shown and the papers refused to print
the discussion.
In one article | invited readers to scan
the pages of various papers of that date
and II the announcement failed to appear,
write and ask the publisher why"
His only good excuse would be mo con-
tract with Post" But when he got angry

FEAR.
The discovery by readers that a favorite
newspaper feared TO print matter written
for ana in the interest of the thirty-nine
citizens out of every forty, Conly one union
man IN every forty citizens) produced
a disgust and dtstTust hard TO overcome,
When the rights Of the common people
caunJt he defended in the newspapers
because OF fear of some organization,
either OF capital or labor, the enslavement
OF citizens has reached a dangerous point,
aud the papers which refuse to stand
for the rights and freedom of the great
reading and thinking public, should bt
known and rebuked by the public they
ought to serve.
Those readers who would like to have

Have You Noticed

the Labor Trust work to gain more anC
more control over the liberties of tn,

yourself to be gradually tied hand an
foot until your Inherited freedom an
liberty was taken from you? Have
