If allowed full sway, no Independent
man could keep working in a free fac
tory, for the goods wouldn't sell no
matter how perfectly they be made.
Then, when the factory has been
forced to close and the employees get
hungry enough from lack of wages the
workers must supplicate the union
leaders to be allowed" to pay their
fines (for not becoming members be-
fOre) and pay their monthly fees TO
the purse-fat managers of the Labor
Trust. ThereupOn (under Orders) be
fore the factory be allowed to start
they must force the owners of the
business to put on the union LABEL
or strike, picket the works, and turn
themselves into SluggerS and cr1mi-
mails towards the independent workers
who migth still refuse to bend the
knee and bow the head.
IN the meantime babies and mothers
go hungry and shoeless, but who
cares. The scheming leaders are
trained to talk OF the uplifting OF Ia
Dor and shed tears when they speak
OF the brotherhood Of man" meaning
the brotherhood of the Skinny Mad
dens," "Sheas,' GOmpers,' ct al, al
ways excluding the medium 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 union label. Naturally
the Labor Trust managers have or
dered their dupes to strike, lie idle,
scrap, fight. slug and destroy property
to force the makers to again put on
the label" But for some reason the
buyinE public has been aroused 10 the
insults and oppression behind it and
in thousands of cases have refused to
buy any article carrying, what some
one named the tag Of servitude and
oppression"
The bound and gagged union slave
is fined from $500 to $500 If he
buys any article not bearing the
union label. Nevertheless, he, time
and again, risks the penalty and buys
''freo" goods simply in order TO help
the fellow wOFkingman who is brave
enough to work where he pleases
without asking permission on Bonded
knees from the bulldOZing leaders
who seek by every known method OF
oppression and hate to govern him.
If these poor wagewOrkers will thus
brave fine and smuggling to help out
other men who seek to live a free life
under our laws and constitution can
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
him to be thrown out of work and the
helpless suffer until they PROSTATE
themselves before this stupendous and
tyrannical aggregation Of leeches upon
honest American labor?
The successor of Henry Ward
BeeCher in Plymouth church, Brook
Ign, says:
Union labor hatred for labor burns
like a flame, eats like nitric acid, Is
malignant beyond all description. But

Alas this union wOman's hatred for
