of certain workmen to Organizer
Oh, yes, brother, when real workmen
manage wisely and peacefully, but
would challenge the right of even a
church organization when its affairs
had been seized by a 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
oificers of your district and demand
procedure under the Sherman anti
trust 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-
zens. and now the big Labor Trust is
moving heaven and earth to repeal
the law so their nefarious work may
be more safely carried on.
But You. Why don't you strike
out and demand defense for your fell
| lows?
Put 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.
It's 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
or individual liberty and always and
ever resent the attempts made to gain
power for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
only the poor fool allows his lib
erty to be wrested from him.
Some one asks how about your
own workmen?"
| didn't intend to speak OF my own
affairs, but so long as the question ia
almost sure to be asked | don't mind
telling you.
Ihe Postum workers are about a
thousand strong, men and women.
and don't belong to labor unions The
Labor Trust has, time without num-
bers, sent organizers" with money
to give smokers" etc, and had their
"orators" declaim the "brotherbood
of man" business, and cry salty tears
describing the fearful conditions OF
the Slaves of capital" and all that
But the confidence game" never
worked, for the decent and high
grade Postum workers receive 10 per
cent. over the regular wage scale
They are the highest paid, richest ana
best grade of working people in the
State of Michigan and believe in the
United States. They mostly own
their own homes, and good ones.
Their wages come so weeks in n wear
and are never stopped on the order of
some paid agent of the Labor Trusr.
They have savings accounts In the
banks, houses of their own and steady
work at high wages.
They like their daily occupation in
the works (come and ask them) and
are not slaves, and yet the Labor
Trust leaders have done their best 10
ruin the sale OF their products and
force them into idleness and poverty.

5000 others) from 100000 to
100000 a month in fees TO send out
to the leaders of the Labor Trust. II
they would allow themselves 10 be-
come "organized" and join the Trust.
Not for them. they keep the money.

That's some comfort for white people.
Once in a while one OF the little
books 'The Road to Wellville," we
put in the pkgs. OF Postum, Crane
Nuts and Post Toasties, is sent back
to us with stlcker pasted across Il
saying Returned because IL don't
bear the union label"
Then we Join hands ana sing a
hymn OF praise for the discovering by
some one that our souls are not
scared with the guilt OF being con-
spirators to help bind the chains of
slavery upon fellow Americans by
placing added power In the hands of
the largest. most oppressive and
harmful trust theworld has ever seen.
When you seek TO buy something
look for the "union LABEL and speak
your sentiments. That's an opportu-
nifty to reach out helping hand to
the countless men and women In all
kinds OF industry who brave bricks.
