READY to do them IL they try 10 work.
The poor women and helpless children
suffer and no one dares present their
case to the public. They must suffer In
silence, for they have no way to right
their wrongs. while the notnriety-seek-
ing leaders carry out their work
These men cannot thus force oppres-
sion on the weak and innocent or use
them to bring newspaper notice 10
themselves and money to their pockets
unless they can hold them in line"
Therefore. with the craft of the COX
and venom Of the serpent they devise
the union LABEL and tell the public to
buy only articles carrying that label.
Smooth scheme, isn't IT.?
They extract fee from every union
man, and in order 70 get these monthly
fees, they must hold the workers in
the union" and force manufa cturers to
kick out all independent men.
Can anyone devise a more complete
and tyrannical trust?
If allowed full sway, no independent
man could keep working IN a free fac
tory. for the goods wouldn't sell no mat
ter 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

coming members before) and pay their
monthly fees to the purse fat managers
Of the Labor Trust. Theleupon Cunder
orders) before 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 slugRers and criminals
toward the independent workers who
might stiH 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 labor" and shed
tears when they speak Of the brother
hood Of man" meaning the brotherhood
OF the skinny Maddens." "Sheas,"
''Gompers," ct al, always 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 quitting on
the union label. Naturally the Labor
Trust managers have ordered 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 buying public has
been aroused TO the insults and oppres-
sion behind II and in thousands OF cases
have refused 10 buy any article carry
ing, what some one named the tag of
servitude and oppression"
The bound and gagged union slave is
fined from s. 90 to $500 II he buys any
article not bearing the union label "
Nevertheless, he. time and again. risks
the penalty and buys free goods

reader, help a little?
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
