The paid for wall of thin skin.
ned capitalistic agitator, of the
plutocratic, anarchistic class, is
greedily published by the dollar.
marked canting, spineless press OF
the country, venting venomous de-
nunciation against ''Ths Labor
Agitator" and labor organizations
which is so transparent, untrue
and vicious, the wonder is, that
any paper publishes such UN-
AMERICAN slush. The ignorant
ranting of "Battle Creek Post''
against the law abiding, wealth
producing workers of the Nation
can only be looked upon as the
rawlings of a maniac, or man of
sinister motives, drunk with the
success he has achieved by taking
the wealth produced by the unfor-
tunate people who work for him
and appropriating to his own use
what does not and never did be-
long to him.
Are there despoilers Of homes 7
If so, they can only be found in
the ranks Of the Posts and his ilk,
men who arrogate to themselves
the right to pay labor what they
please and impose conditions of
work and living such as no SLAVE
OWNER NEVER DID.
Who are these men7 Harri-
man, Baer, Post, Van Cleave,
Parry, Gould, Watson, Dixon and
their pals, associates and hirelings,
who want no organization of any
kind to exist except the combina-
tions of graft that they have or
gained for, their own profit and
ease.
IT organization is so bad; dis.
band your own home destroying,
bank wrecking, business demoralz-
ing machines, return to those you
have robbed the ill-gotten lacivi-
GUS palaces that you have built
with the proceeds of the poor
devils labor who cannot enjoy a
'tin of milk.' Disgorge your sur
feited money bags that is saturat-
ed with the blood of the murdered,
starved and oppressed workmen
who, have been hurled to prema-
ture graves, while you and your
kind evicted their families from
the mean shelter you charged them
extortionate rent for, or. took the
labor of innocent children and de-
praved them and starved them in
to vicious immoral boys and girls.
Or. If your beastly eyes was sub
Ject to impression and any sur
vived your malignant greed of op
preston your own cruel instincts
and brutal desires never ceased un-
til you Stamford Whited them.
AS for classes and their distinc-
ton no one but you and your kind
have made them. You retain pro-
scouting attorneys with money
taken from your less than half
paid workmen, so they will shut
their official eyes to your law
breaking, thus you make perjury,
embezzlement and suicide. You
further debauch our government
by capitalizing lobbies and usurp-
ing the police powers Of the state
to aid you in prosecuting the men
in your employ.
You destroy the very essence OF
government by the financing OF
campaigns for the election of men
you have bargained with to
SERVE YOU and YOUR IN
TERESTS.
