and force them 70 obey" All Of this
work requires money for legitimate
Expenses. Every reader who feels a
desire to help in this organized work
of protection can forward to the Ma

James Building, n. X, such contribu-
ton as he decides upon, from s1.00
TO $4,000. The work is now being
carried on and with gratifying results.
II can be widely extended and more
certain protection insured by employ
ing a larger force Of active workers.
The Labor Socialists contribute lib
orally for the support Of their organi-
zation and the common Home Owners
are but just now beginning to learn
that they are in danger Of the most
serious consequences unless a deter
mined organized stand Is made and the
work Of protection carried on intelh-
gently, sldllfully and with means
enough to make It effective.
The officers and directors OF this
National ASSN are sufficiently well
known to insure careful and honest
use Of funds. A statement win be
sent 20 each contributor from time TO
time, and the Square Dear magazine
mailed each month.
This is a clearly drawn contest be-
tween the Common citizens and Home
Owners seeking protection ana the
Labor Trust seeking TO obtain control
tat f.Ir
erty from the Home-O Owners.
The strongest organization will win
and If the Home Owners fail to stand
together they will certainly lose at
least part OF their properties and
more or less personal liberty. There
are communities now where organized
labor has gained control and every
man must "bow' and contribute ani
implicitly "obey." quit work when
told. patronlze those whom the labor
leaders designate, and in various ways

1t has gone so far that juries fear

communities are terrorized.
