1t won't cost you penny to reacn
out helping hand to great army OF
honest, hard-working and deserving
men and women.
Just your moral support will insure
work, living. and comforts which
are now either partly or wholly de-
MED them.
How so?
Come on, let's have look.
You've often been importuned and
many have been commanded by ad-
vertisements or otherwise to "refuse
to buy anything unless it bears the
union label"
Looks harmless on it's face, doesn't
it?
It really is a demand" that you
boycott the products made by over 80
per cent. of our American working
men and women, who decline to pay
fees to, and obey the dictates of the
union leaders.
1t demands that you ask the mer-
chant for articles with the union
LABEL" thus to impress him with its
Importance.
1t seeks to tell you what to buy and
what to refuse. The demands are
sometimes most insolent, with q
"holier than thou" impudenee.
1t demands that you take away the
living of this 80 per cent. of American
workingmen and women.
Is that clear?
~, 80
men ask you to help starve the larger
body?
There must be some reason for the
union label" scheme.
Run over in your mind and remem-
Der how they carry on their work.
During discussion about working
or striking in the coal regions, about
$4,000 men preferred to work, they
had wives and babies to feed. The
union men said openly in their con-
vention that if the employers didn't
discharge these men they (the union
mem would kill them.
So they dynamited about a dozen
homes, MANNED and crippled women
and children and brutally assaulted
:, scores of these independent workers.
The big boys of the union men were
taught to pound the school children
of the independent men. How would
you like to have your little girl short
ly grown from the toddling baby who
used to sit on your lap and love dad
dy" pounded by some big DULLES on
her way home from the school where
she had gone to try and please Daddy
by learning to read?
The little bruised face and body
would first need tender care while you
ponder the inscription writ deep in
your heart, by that Master and Guide
to all human compassion, "Inasmuct
as We have done it unto one of the
least of these My brethren ye have
done it unto Me-" Then perhaps you
would drop to your knees and pray
Almighty God for strength in your
right arm to strike one manly and
powerful blow for baby's sake, even il
you went to death for it.
Helpless children were brought
home. with faces black or bleeding
from the blows and kicks of these
fiends, teaching Independent Ameri
cans that they must stop work, wher
told and pay fees to the leaders Of
Tabor" Thousands of men, womer
and children have been treated thus.
From somewhere, Oh, Father of u:
all, we try to believe that You lool
with plying eyes upon these bruta
blows, cuts and scars on the many

and image.
They are beautifully and wonder
fully made, each the dwelling place
of a Divine Soul.
Is it Your wish that they be crushed
by iron shod heels, cut by knives OF
torn asunder by bullets and dyna
mite?
May we venture to think that {
long suffering patience is extended IL
the hope that the men and women o.
America may some day wake to q
realization of the awful cruelties per
petrated by this spirit of oppression
and that they will some time learr
the lesson that the sacred gift of hui
man freedom and liberty" was giver
by God and must be defended even tc
death itself
Our forefathers were used by tbs
Infinite God to establish our freedom
in 1916, and our fathers gave freely
of their blood and treasure to estab,
lish the freedom Of the black Now
again it seems we are called upon tC
protect our brothers and ourselves
from that old time spirit of tyranny
which comes up from time to time tC
force people to obey tyrannous rules
and bend the knee of the slave.
