4, II allowed full sway. no independent
man could keep working in free factory
/. for, the goods wouldn't sell no matter
now. perfectly they are made. Then
when the factory has been forced to close
and the employees get hungry enough

supplicate the union, leaders to be
allowed to pay their fines (for not be-

The seheminE leaders are trained to talk
of the uplifting OF labor and shed tears

or high.grade Independent workers.
Perhaps you have noticed lately that
the makers OF the finest hats, shoes and
other articles have stopped putting on
the e union label. Naturally the Labor
Trust managers have ordered their dupes
to strike, lie idle. scrap. fight, slug and
destroy property to force the pakers to
again put on the label" But for some
| reason the buying public has been arous-
ed to the insults and oppression behind

penalty. and buys free goods simply in
order to help the fellow workingman
/ who is brave enough to work where he

Bonded knees from the bulldozing leaders
who seek by every known method Of OPP
preston and hate to govern him.
II these poor wageworkers will thus
brave fine and smuggling to help out other
men who seek TO live a free life under our

The successor OF Henry Ward Beecher
in Plymouth church. Brooklyn. says:
Union labor hatred for labor burns
/ like a flame. eats like nitric acid, is ma
ligant beyond all description. But the
, other day, woman representing a GER
; tain union visited many families in Ply
mouth church asking them to boycott a
certain institution. b.. Alas this un-
| ion woman's hatred for non-unlon women
buprned In her like the fires Of hell.
/ She was pItilessly. re!entlessly and tire
men TO destroy the market for goods.
\ to ruin their factory and to starve them

In the French revolution only 2 per
cent Of the French people believed in vio-
lence. The IS per cent disclaimed violence
, and yet the sS per cent allowed the per
/ cent to fill the streets Of Paris with fes-
tering 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 independ-
| ent Americans sends out letters declar-
! ing free" industries unfair and tries to
boycott their products. II they could bind
/ everyone, 1t would bring suffering upon

people and extract from each a monthly

There are babies. children, women and
/ honest. Woodworking and skillful fathers
who rely upon the protection of their
! fellows, when they seek to sell their
| labor where they choose, when they
: choose, and for sum they believe it to
be worth. &c..
| Every citizen having the rights. privi-
leges and protection Of citizen has also
the responsibility OF a citizen.
The labor trust leaders may suavely
request" Cor order those they Can, to
buy only union LABEL articles. and you
! can Of course obey If you are under
| orders. s.. 3D.
Depend upon it, the creatures of the
/ Labor Trust will, upon. reading this
visit stores and threaten dire results un-
less all the things bear 'the label"
! They go so far as to have their women
! pretend to buy things, order yards OF
! silk or cloth torn of and various articles
wrapped up and then discover mo label,
and refuse them. That's been done hum
dreds of times and is but one of the pet
ty acts Of hatred and tyranny.
Let no one who reads this article un.
