Have YOul Noticed,

Reader, how adrotly the Leaders Of the Labor
Trust work to gain more and more control over
the liberties Of the people:
Do you realize they are aiming at absolute
domination Of the daily affairs Of citizens:
Do you think 1t would be safe to allow your
self to be gradually tied hand and foot until
your inherited freedom and liberty was taken
from you? Have look at their methods and
draw your Own conclusions.
Threats are made to City. County. State and
National onhcers and public men. either Of de-
feat or violence for judges and jurors. and the
number OF citizens assaulted or murdered and
property destroyed in an active Labor Trust year
exceeds by far the amount Of violence which ever
occurred In any one year during proslavery days.
The black man was not his own master. The
present day union man is not. He must quit
when the Labor Trust leader orders" Invol-
untary idleness is no less deplorable than invol.
