 hidden underground facts, relating to
 the plans for control of the liberties and affairs of the common citizens | by the adroit managers of the huge
 Labor Trust" known as the Ameri-
 can Federation of Labor.
 These managers are seeking power
 even superior to that of the president
 of the United States.
 Nonsense" someone says. Well, | let's have a look.
 When I first started publishing these articles discussing labor mat ters, nearly the entire list of papers published them, but there were a few afraid to print them although offered
 full pay.
 Afraid the labor leaders would boy colt them, afraid the unions in their | own printing department would strike
 and afraid on general principles. Here was a sample of the mug zled press" the subtle enemy of the
 common people.
 Fair Union Men. To the credit of the typographical union let it be said the majority of its members are too intelligent to re- fuse 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 wis dom was shown and the papers re- fused to print the discussion. In one article I invited readers to scan the pages of various papers of that date and If the annOuncement failed to appear. write and ask the publisher why

 Have You Noticed, Reader. how adroitly the Leaders of the Labor Trust work to gain more and more control over the lib- critics of the people?
 Do you realize that they are aiming at absolute domination of the daily affairs of the citizens?
 Do you think it would be safe to allow yourself to 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 pub lie men, either of defeat or violence for judges and jurors. and the num- Der of citizens assaulted or murdered and property destroyed in an active
