Just your moral support win insure
wsrk. living, and comforts which
are now either partly or wholly de-
aied them.
How so2
Come on, let's have look.
You've often been importuned and
many have been commanded by ad-
vertisement or otherwise TO "refuse
20 buy anything unless It bears the
union label"
Looks harmless on fits face, doesn't
CT
II really IL demand" that you
boycott the products made by over 80
per cent. Of our American working
meu aud women, who decline to pay
fees 70, and obey the dictates Of the
union leaders.
IL demands that you ask the mer-
chant for articles with the union
LABEL" thus to impress him with its
importance.
Il seeks to tell you what to buy and
what 20 refuse. The demands are
sometimes most insolent, with
~holier than thou" impudence.
IL demands that you take away tho
living of this so per cent. of American
workingmen and women.
is that clear?
Why should small body Of work.
men ask you to help starve the larger
body?
There must be some reason for the
union label" scheme.
RuR over In your mind and remem-
Der how they carry on their work.
During q discussion about working
or striking In the coal regions, about
900 men preferred to work, they
dad 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
meal would kill them.
SO they dynamited about 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 70 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 bullies 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 hrst need tender care while you
ponder the Inscription writ deem in
your heart, by that Master and Guide
go all human compassion, "lnasmuch
saa ye have done 1t unto one OF the
NeaS OF these My brethren We have
done II nnto Me-" Then perhaps you
would drop TO your knees and pray
Almighty God for strength in your
fTSat arm TO strike one manly and
powerful blow for baby's sake, even II
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-
caas that they must stop work when
cold and pay fees to the leaders of
labor" Thousands of men, women
and children have been treated thus
From somewhere, oh, Father of US
Sll, we try to believe that You lool,
with pitying eyes upon these brutal
blows, cuts and scars on the many
thumaa bodies made in your likeness
and image.
They are beautifully and wonder
fully made, each the dwelling place
of n Divine Soul.
Is it Your wish that they be crushed
10y iron shod heels, cut by knives or
corn asunder by bullets and dyna-
mite?
May we venture to think that a
tong suffering patience Is extended in
che hope that the men and women of
America may some day wake to a
realization Of the awful cruelties per-
petrated by this spirit OF oppression
and that they will some time learn
che lesson that the sacred gift Of hui
man freedom and liberty" was given
by Ged and must be defended even to
death itself
Our forefathers we're used by the
Infinite God TO establish our freedom
In I776, and our fathers gave freely
OF their blood and treasure to estab-
fish the freedom OF the black. Now
again 1t seems we are called upon to
protect our brothers and ourselves
from that old time spirit OF tyranny
which comes up from time to time to
force people to obey tyrannous rules
and bend the knee of the slave
