The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-09-14

II 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 work
ers 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 LABEL or strike, picket the
works, and turn themselves into slug
gers and criminals towards the indie
pendent workers who might still re-
fuse to bend the knee and bow the
head. ........... .. -..- ..-.
In the meantime babies and moth
ers go 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 the
skinny Maddens," "Sheas," Comp
ers." ct al, always excluding the me-
ers.
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 Trust managers have order
ed 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 buy
insults and oppression behind it and
in thousands of cases have refused
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 if he
buys any article not bearing the
union label" Nevertheless, he, time
and again, risks the penalty and buys
| free goods simply in order to help
the fellow workingman who is brave
enough to work where he pleases
without asking permission on Bonded
knees from the bulldozing leaders who
seek by every known method Of op.
preston and hate to govern him.
II these poor wageworkers will thus
| brave fine and smuggling 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
J 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
helpless suffer until they PROSTATE
| themselves before this stupendous
and tyrannical aggregation Of leeches
upon honest American labor?
! The successor Of Henry Ward
| Beecher III Plymouth church, Brook
lyn, 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
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, relentlessly and
tirelessly pursuing the non-union
women and men to destroy the mar
ket for goods, to ruin their factory
and to starve them out.
| In the French revolution only 2T
of the French people believed in VIC
lence. The 80 per cent disclaimed VIC
lence and yet the 80 per cent allowed
the per cent to fill the streets oil
Paris with fostering corpses, to clog
the Seine with dead bodies, to shu,
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 indie
pendent Americans sends out letters
declaring free" industries unfair and
| tries to boycott their products. Il
they could bind everyone it would

There are babies, children, women
and honest, Woodworking and skillfu
fathers who rely upon the protection
of their fellows, when they seek te
sell their labor where they choose
when they choose, and for a sum they
believe it to be worth.
Every citizen having the rights

/ The Labor Trust leaders may suave

cles. and You can of course obey il
you are under orders.
Depend upon it, the creatures of the
Labor 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 theil
women pretend to buy things, order
yards OF silk o. cloth torn off and
