Have You Noticed,

Reader how adroitly the Leaders Of
the Labor Trust work to gain more and
more control over the liberties of the
people?
DO you realize they ate aiming at alb
solute domination of the daily affairs Of
citizens?
Do you think it would be safe TO allow
yourself 10 be gradually tied hand and
foot until your inherited freedom and
liberty was taken from you? Have a
look at their methods and draw your
own conclusions
Threats are made to city. County
State and National officers and public
men, either of defeat or violence for
judges and Jurors, and the number Of
citizens assaulted or murdered and pro-
perty destroyed in an active Labor
Trust year exceeds by far the amount
of violence which ever occurred in any
one year during pro-slavery 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" Involuntary idleness is no
less deplorable than involuntary ser
vitude.
The disobedient black man was at
times driven with a whip back TO his
work. The disobedient union man
has in thousands of cases. been driven
away from his work, with clubs, mis-
siles. revolvers. and knives; assaulted.
slugged unconscious. manned for life.
or murdered. or perhaps his steps
dogged for weeks. he and his family
subjected TO insults innumerable, homes
destroyed and property blown up. The
most damnable cruelty and brutality
that hate could devise and rufiian out
laws execute has been put upon Amer
lean workmen. who have dared to dis
obey the orders" Of the Labor Trust
leaders
There were above 5000 citizens as
saulted in one city (Chicago) during
one strike (the teamsters) and many
men crippled for life Some 70 or IA
were wilfully murdered outright and
yet there have been hut few convictions
and trihing IL any punishment.

THEATRICAL
THE GARRICK

Charles Carlos and his trained ponies
and dogs open an excellent show at the
Garrick this week. IL Is a bill In which
every act Is a feature. Dorothy Arville's
Troopers, a musical comedy sliit en-
titled THE Stranded Prima Donna in
Producing a quartet Of tough chorus
girls" presents an interesting variation
from the usual run OF acts OF this kind,
and introduces a change" which Is
very clever. Olive Belndorff does some
good Juggling; Harding and An sid, the
clown AID the Chinaman present an
excellent comedy number Fun in
Chinese Laundry" Roberts Hayes

feature ana Loney Haskell, the mono-
logulst "a as entertalningly for a good
fifteen minutes. Violet Allen and
George Wright have pretentious
sketch Keeping an appointment"
which is much to their credit. Both
are good dancers, have a lively cross

Jules Garrison, the legitimate actor,
presents a delightful playlet After the
Play In which two children Of James
X. Hackett, do clever work. The sketch
introduces a score or more of newsboys
some good comedy and pathos that is
by no means lost on the audience. The
Five Bellatzer Sisters, French gym
nasts. make their first appearance be-
fore an American audience in per-
formance that spells merit all the way
through. The theatregoer who is not
satisfied with the show at the Garrick
this week Is likely 10 go unsatisaed

Honest Union Men Helpless.

Let an honest union man raise his
voice in protest at a union meeting
and the ~men of violent tendencies"
cry him down with shouts to throw

don't shut up he may expect to be
violently and effectively shut up.

Of business men who sell the ordinary
products Of humanity and when they
cannot sell the labor at a satisfactory
price to one man, do as the farmer
does who offers his wheat TO another

Keeps II for a higher market but does
not picket the MILL assault other
farmers who prefer TO sell their wheat,
or blow up the mill whose owner cam
not at that time buy at the price

The man who has saved money with
which to purchase wheat or labor
should not be manned. murdered or
his property destroyed because he
does not feel like parting with that
money to buy wheat or labor when he
either does not want it or knows the
price to be too high to warrant its
purchase, Any attempt at coercion
should be promptly and effectually
punished by the courts and the bullies

over Independent Americans.

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 unhampered
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 if the announcement failed
20 appear, write and ask the publisher
why"
His only good excuse would be mo
contract with Post" But when he got
angry and began to offer various and
sundry other reasons, il became plain
TO the enquirer that it was left out
through pitiable fear.
The discovery by readers that a fav
orite newspaper feared TO print matter
written for and in the interest of the
thirty-nine citizens out of every forty
(only one union man in every forty citi-
zens) produced a disgust and distrust
hard to overcome. When the rights
Of the common people cannot be de-
Tended in the newspapers because of
fear Of some organization, either OF cap
ital or labor, the enslavement of citi-
zens has reached a dangerous point,and
the papers which refuse TO stand for
the rights and freedom of the great
reading and thinking public, should be
known and rebulSed by the public they
ought to serve.
Those readers who would like TO have
printed the names of a few papers and
public servants who have been lax in
support of the rights of the people when
assailed by class organizations are in
vited to make known their wishes by
mail addressed to the undersigned.
