OF certain workmen to organizer /"
Oh, yes, brother, when real workmeD
manage wisely and peacefully. but
would challenge the right of even a
church organization when its affairs
had been seized by motley crew OF
heartless, vicious men who stopped
Industries, melted mobs to attack citi.
zens and destroy property In order to
establish their control of communi
ties and affairs, and subject every one
to their orders and exact the fees
When you see work of this kind being
done call on or write the prosecuting
ofncers OF your district and demand
procedure under the Sherman anti.
trusf law. and prosecution for con
splracy and restraint of trade. We
nave the law. but the politicians and
many OF our officers even while draw
ing pay from the people are afraid to
enforce 1t In protection of our citi.

moving heaven and earth to repeaJ
the law so their nefarious work NAV

But You. Why don't you strik.
out and demand defense for your fel

fut your prosecuting officers to the
test and insist that they do their
sworn duty, and protest to your Con
gressmen and Legislators against the
repeal OF the Sherman Antitrust law
Its repeal is being pushed by the La.
Dor trust and some big capital trusts
In order to give each more power to
oppress, Do your duty and protest
In this great American Republic
every one must be jealous of the right
OF individual liberty and ALWAYS and
ever resent the attempts made to gain
power for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT
only the poor fool allows his lib

Some one asks how about your
own workmen?"
didn't intend to speak of nv own
anairs, but so long as the question is
almost sure to be asked don't mind
telling you.
The Postum workers are about

and don't belong to labor unions. The
Labor Trust has, time without uum.

describing the fearful conditions OF
the slaves of capital" and all that
But the confidence game" peye,
worked, for the decent and high
grade Postum workers receive 10 Der
cent. over the regular wage scale
They are the highest paid, richest and
best grade of working people In the
State of Michigan and I believe In the
United States. They mostly own
their own homes, and good ones
Their wages come So weeks In a year
and are never stopped on the order of
some paid agent of the Labor Trust
They have savings accounts in the
banks. houses of their own and steady
work at high wages.
They like their daily occupatjon IN
the works tcome and ask them) and
are not slaves. and yet the Labor
Trust leaders have done their best n
