Oh, yes, brother, when real workmen
manage wisely and peacefully. but I
would challenge the right Of even q
church organization when It's affairs
had been seized by a motley crew of
heartless, vicious men who stopped
industries, melted mobs to attack citi-
q and destroy property in order to
establish their control of commune
ties n affairs, and subject every one
70 their orders and exact the fees.
Wnen you see work of this kind being
done call On or write the prosecutins
ofncers of your district and demand
procedure under the Sherman anti
trust law, and prosecution for con-
splraey and restraint of trade. We
have the law, but the politicians ane
many OF our officers even while draw
Ing pay from the people are afraid 10
enforce it in protection of our citi-
zens, and now the big Labor Trust is
moving heaven and earth to repeal
the law so their n~efarious work may
be more safely carried on.
But You. Why don't you strike
out n demand defense for your fell
lows?
Put your prosecuting officers to the
test and insist that they do their
sworn duty, and protest to your Con-
gressmen and legislators against the
repeal of the Sherman Antitrust law
Its repeal is being pushed BY the La
Dor Trust and some big capital trusts
IN order to give each more power to
Cypress. Do your duty and protest.
In this great American Republic
every one must be jealous of the right
OF individual liberty and always and
ever resent the attempts made to a
power for personal aggrandizement.
only the poor fool allows his lib
erty to be wrested from him.
Some one asks how about your
own workmen?"
didn't intend to speak of nv own
affairs, but SO long as the question ia
almost sure to be asked | don't mind
telling you.
The Postum workers are about a
thousand strong, men and women
and don't belong to labor unions The
Labor Trust has, time without nnm~
bers, sent organizers" with money
to give Smokers" ETC., and had thei-
orators" declaim the brotherhood
OF man business, and cry SALTY tea-s
describing the fearful Conditions ~
the slaves of capital and all that
But the confidence game" never-
worked, for the decent and bfob
grade Postum workers receive ~ no-
cent. over the regular wage scale.
They are the highest paid, richest and
best grade of working people in the
state OF Michigan and | believe in tho
united States. They mostly own
their own homes, and good ones
Their wages come So weeks in a vear
and are never stopped on the order of
some paid agent of the Labor Tr,,sr
Ihey have savings accounts in the
banks, houses OF their own and steady
work at high wages.
They like their daily -occunat,on ~
