Work Yet to Be Done.

They boycotted factories and destroyed bust
ness. compelling other workmen to lie idle.
They stopped the loading and unloading Of
ships and Ry. cars: stopped work buildings
the mining of gold, silver. copper and coal
worth of American articles which foreigners
stood ready to pay money for.
1t is believed by many that one Of the chief
causes Of the panic and present hard times was
tie persistent and widespread interference with
and stoppage of industry brought about by these
same Labor-Socialists In driving away business
and preventing the steady distribution of money
among the working classes. Every million dol
lars worth Of Steam Pumps, Farm Implements
Boots and Shoes, Steel, Iron, Locomotives, Cars
Cotton Goods, ETC., ETC., sent abroad brings
back million dollars to be distributed to the
workmen who dig and smelt it: molders who
cast the iron. machinists wood-workers, cotton
mill employees, ETC., etc. But the Labor Social
lists 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, consequently, much misery upon work
people.
The Labor leaders have brought strikes to force
all employers to kick out Independent American
worknen 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 Socialists threw
away taken by others. Or the business has
been killed for the time and they are 'unem-
ployed," do they pay their own expenses or do
they besiege the authorities to the class Of
Home owners to pay extra money toward N
employed Labor Socialists!
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-Socialsts.'
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,"
all, but when Labor Union gains power enough
to force home owners TO pay two, three or four
times what hodcarriers and other workmeh arc
actually worth 1t means just much extra
money extracted 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
Inv, th., I S<,.t tall Eoch
and every one seeks to tie the hands Of the
peoples courts, and for what purpose? NO IN
JUNCTION ISSUED IN LABOR STRIKES EVER
HARMED AN HONEST CITIZEN, INTENDING
TO PEACEFULLY PURSUE HIS OCCUPATION.
Injunctions stop mobs, intent on Insulting. as.
saulting and perhaps numbering other citizens,
from congregating. The Labor Socialist raises
loud cry because he is commanded by a court to
keep OF the public street near factory employ
ting Independent men.
The injunction ALWAYS directs the man or
men to stay of certain streets or refrain from
doing other things, when it Is reasonably we'll
known THEY INTEND TO GO On THOSE
STREETS or do those acts, to insult assault
citiznes or destroy property The peaceful citizen

and the courts have right to prevent injury
to the interests Of any csmnsunity. But injunc-
lions DO prevent Labor Socialists from terror
izing people into submission to the Labor trust
Therefore, In order to secure submission and
power to extract from the employer extra money,
they contend the injunction MUST BE DONE
AWAY WITH.
Every public man who supports ANY MEAS
URE seeking to reduce the power of the courts
in order to make 1t more difficult for thSm 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-particulariy 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
