workers in .tthe union" and force man
ufacturers TO kick out all independent
men.
Can anyone devise more complete
and tryrannical trust?
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 before) and pay
their monthly fees to the purse-fat
managers of the Labor Trust There
upon (under orders) before the factory
be allowed to start they must force the
owners Of the business to put on the
union labe" or strike, picket the
works. and turn themselves into slug
gers and criminals towards the fnde-
pendent workers who might still refuse
to bend the knee and bow the head.
In the meantime babies and mothers
go hungry and shoesess, but who cares.
The scheming lea0ers are trained to
talk OF the uplifting of labor" and
shed tears when they speak OF the
brotherhood OF man." meaning the
brotherhood of the skinny Maddens,"
'Sheas," "Gompers," ct al, always ex-
Guiding the medium or high grade in
dependent 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
dupes to strike, lie idle, scrap, fight,
makers to again put on 1.-The label
But for some reason the buying public
has been aroused to the insults and OPP
preston behind it and in thousands OF
cases have refusel 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 II he buys any
article not bearing the union label"
Nevertheless, he, time and again, risks
/, the penalty and buys "freev goods sim
ply in order to help the fellow work
ingman who Is brave enough to work
where he pleases without asking per-
mission on Blended knees from the bull
doing leaders who seek by every
known method of oppression and hate
\ to govern him.
If these poor wageworkers will thus
brave fine and slugging to help out
other men who seek to live free life
under our laws and constitution can
not you, reader, help a little?
Will 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 help
less suffer until they PROSTATE them
selves before this stupendous and
| tyrannical aggregation Of leeches upon
honest American labor7
| The successor of Henry Ward Beech
err in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, says
| Union labor hatred for labor burns
/ like a. flame, eats like nitric acid, Is
malignant beyond all description. But
the other day, a woman representing
a certain union visited many families
| in Plymouth church asking them to
! boycott certain institution.
Alas this union woman's hatred for
non-union women burned In her like
the fires of hell.
She was pitilessly, relentlessly and
tirelessly pursuing the non-union wom-
en- and men to destroy the market for
goods, to ruin their factory and to
starve them out.
| In the French revolution only 2 per
cent of the French people believed in
violence, The SO per cent disclaimed
violence and yet the 90 per cent allowed
the per cent to fill the streets of
Paris with fostering corpses, to clog the
cry factory in Paris until the laboring

The small per cent element in the
Labor Trust which hates and seeks to
destroy the large per cent of inde-
pendent Americans sends out letters
declaring free" industries unfair and
tries to boycott their products. If they
could bind everyone it would bring
suffering upon hundreds of thousands
unreasonable ruin upon the country
and land it absolutely under control
of the men now attempting to dictate
the daily acts of our people and extract
from each a monthly fee.
There are babies. children, women
and honest, w~crA.ing and s!!.,::I!.ss:::!
fathers who rely upon the protection of
their fellows. when they seek to sell
their labor where they choose, when
they choose, and for q sum they be-
lieve 1t to be worth.
q Every citizen having the rights. priv
ileges and protection of a citizen has
also the responsibility Of a citizen.
The Labor Trust leaders may suave-
ly request" Cor order those they CAM
to buy only "union laber articles, and
you can Of course obey If you are under
orders.
Depend upon II, the creatures Of the
Labor Trust will, upon reading this
visit stores and threaten dire results
unless all the things hear "the label"
They 10 so far as to have their wom-
en- 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 dome hundreds of times and 10 but
one Of the petty acts Of hatred and
Tyranny. 81
