IL these poor wageworkers will
thus brave fine and slugging to help
out other men who seek to live a free
! life under our laws and constitution
cannot you, reader, help a little2
VIII you reach out a hand to help
an Independent workman earn food
for his wife and babies? Or will you
from apathy and carelessness allow
MIN to be thrown out Of work ana
the helpless suffer until they pros
trate themselves before this stupen-
oous and tyrannical aggregation OF
ieeches upon honest American labor7
Inc successor of Henry Ward
Beecher In Plymouth Church, Brook
lyn, says:
Union labor hatred for labor
burns like a flame, eats like nitric
acid, Is malignant beyond all descrip-
tlon. But the other day, a woman
representing a certain union visited
many families in Plymouth Church
asking them to boycott a certain in
stltutlon. Alas, this union
Woman's hatred for non-union women
burned In her like the fires of hell"
She was pftilessly, relentlessly and
tlrelessly pursuing the non-union
women and men to destroy the mar
ket for goods, to ruin their factory
| and to starve them out.
In the French Revolution only 2
per cent. of the French people be-
ileVed In violence. The SO per cent.
olscla1med violence and yet the 90
per cent. allowed the per cent. to
NIL the streets Of Paris with fostering
corpses. to clog the Seine with dead
bodies. to shut up every factory In
Paris. until the laboring classes
starved by the score.
The small per cent element in the
| Labor Trust which hates and seeks
to destroy the large per cent. of inde-
pendent Americans sends out letters
declaring free" industries unfair and
tries to boycott their products. II
they could bind every one II would
orlng sufering upon hundreds of
thousands, immeasurable ruin upon
the country. and land 1t absolutely
! under control of the men now at
tempting to dictate the daily acts of
our people and extract from each a
monthly fee.
There are babies. children, women
and honest. hard-working and skill
1ul fathers who rely upon the protec-
ton OF their fellows. when they seek
to sell their labor where they choose.
when they choose. and for a sum they
believe 1t to be worth.
Every citizen having the rights
privileges and protection of a citizen
has also the responsibility of a citizen.
The Labor Trust leaders NAV
suavely request" (or order those
they CAM to buy only union label"
articles, and you can of course obey n
you are under orders.
Depend upon it. the creatures OF
the Labor Trust will, upon reading
this. visit stores and threaten dire re-
suits unless all the things bear "the
label" 'e
They go so far as to have tbe,r
women pretend to buy things. order
yards OF SILK or cloth torn of and va
rious articles wrapped up and then
discover mo label" and refuse them
That's been done hundreds of times
and is but one of the petty acts "a
hatred and tyranny.
Let no one who reads this article
understand that he or she is asked to
boycott any product whether II hears
a union label" or not. One boe q
constitutional right to examine tho
article and see whether its makers arr.
Labor Trust contributors and slaves
or are free and independent Amer,-
cans.
l have tried to tell you sometbin,
ABOUT those who are oppressed viii.

to retain their own Independent Amer.
lean manhood. These men are I'm the
vast majority and include the most
skillful artisans in the known world
ihey have wives and babes dependent
on them.
These men are frequently oppress.a
ana nave no way to make ,ha,r
wrongs known. They are worthy n,
defense. That's the reason for rho
expenditure OF few thousan ands or dol,
lars to send this message In m.
American people. Remember.
