man could keep working in a free factory
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 suppl
cate the union leaders TO be ALLOWED to
pay their fines (for not becoming mem
bers before) and pay their monthly fees
to the purse-fat managers of the Labor
Trust. Thereupon (under 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 sluggers
and criminals towards the independent
workers who might still refuse to bend
the knee and bow the head.
In the meantime babies and mothers &c
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 brotherhood OF
man." meaning the brotherhood of skinny
Maddens," "Sheas," "Gompers," ct al. al
ways excluding the medium or high grade
Independent workers.
Perhaps you rave noticed lately that
the makers of the finest hats, shoes and
other articles ave stopped putting 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 oppression behind II
and in thousands of cases have refused ia
buy any article carrying what someone
named the tag of servitude and oppres.

The bound and gagged union slave if
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 free" goods sim
ply in order to help the fellow working
mar who is brave enough TO work where
he pleases without asking permission on
Bonded knees from the bulldozing lead
ers who seek by every known method
of oppression 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
laws and constitution cannot you, reader,
help a little?
VIII you reach out a hand to help ar
Independent workman earn food for his
wife and babies? Or will you from
apathy and carlessness allow him to be
thrown out OF work and the helpless suf-
fer until they PROSTATE themselves be-

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 malignant beyond all description. But
the other day, a woman representing a
certain union visited many families in
Plymouth church asking them to boycott
a certain institution. . . Alas this
union woman's hatred for non-union
women burned in her like the fires of
hell.
She was pitilessly. re1entlessly and tire
lessly pursuing the n%on-union women 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 9s per cent disclaimed vio-
lence and yet the 9s per cent allowed the
2 per cent to fill the streets OF Paris with
fostering 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 independent Ameri-
cans sends out letters declaring "free"
Industries unfair and tries to boycott
their products. If they could bind everyone
1t woul bring suffering upon hundreds
of thousands, Unreasonable ruin upon the
country, and land IL absolutely under con-
troll of the men now attempting to die
tate the daily acts OF our people and ex-
tract from each a monthly fee.
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 a sum they believe IT to be worth.
Every citizen having the rights. priv
ileges and protection of a citizen has
also the responsibility Of a citizen.
The Labor Trust leaders may suavely
request" Cor order those they CAM to
buy only union LABEL articles, and you
can of course obey If you are under
orders.
Depend upon It, the creatures OF the
Labo Trust will, upon reading this, visit
stores and threaten dire results unless
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 off and various articles
wapped up and then discover mo label"
and refuse them. That's been done nun
dreds Of times and is but one of the
petty acts OF hatred and tyranny.
Let no one who reads this article I'M
derstand hat he or she is asked to boy
colt any product whether II bears a
union label or not. One has a consti-
tutional right to examine the article and
see whether its makers are Labor Trust
