would get steady work; and you have
+ been getting it; they did not tell
you that they would corner all the
foodstuffs and make you pay prices
| that would eat up this steady work
you are getting. ; No. j. But hey are
doing it. just the same. And now
our Congressman are holding out
their hands and telling you they will
Investigate and punish these Offend
ers.
Now, now can Lney punish any per-
son for aviolation of law that they
for years have carefully enacted and
p1 detected? And will they ever sue
coed in doing it? Why, no. They
are just holding out this great bluff
un.il tney succeed in making you be-
lieve that they are your friends; I'M
til they elect the members they wont
to continue them in power. Why, it
looks just like this to me: That the
workingmen call all non-union men
who go to Work scabs; why, because
they are led 10 believe by the opera
tors that they IN lons can't win out
and these weak-Ainded people go to
work and thus bfacken their future
by being termed scab.
Now, | think that there. is a scum
ingman, and he should be very care
full that it does not become a scab,
for he has been told and has been.
cautioned about these same methods
used by these operators to cause you
to vote oranot to work, and the unions
can't win Que. and all such methods
to gain their points.
Now if you will carefully think
you will conclude that all such stuff
is bosh for these operators to close
their mills down when they know
that to do SO would mean their loss
of trade and greater loss of the
god they worship that almighty
dollar. "
Oh, no., They can't do that. And
to explain this better, why do they
operate their mills as open shop and
pay union wages and hire bulls to
guard and protect the shops. 1t will
be well for all workingmen to sit up
and take notice of our president,
who is supposed to be the president
OF the people, and when he took his
seat as such he is supposed to be the
chief executive and to look after the
welfare Of all the people. But what
do we find him doing? Why, he is
in the New York state campaign for
his party; and yet he claims that the
country. is prospecting. II it is the
people should know it and the work
ing class should feel it-and l guess
they do, in their stomachs.e The
Presidents going to New York state
certainly means something. And do
you think, Mr. Workingman, Mr.. Ma
chinist, Mr.. Railroader, Mr.. Mill
worker, that it is you? I can't think
it. But if was allowed a guess /
would say that it was the much
oppressed multi-millionaires, who are
much in need of. his help.
How about Wade Ellis giving up
his job to look after the Republican
party in the State of Ohio-a state
that has always boosted of it's loyal
ty? Does this one man, this Mr..
Wade Ellis hold card never played
by that party upon you? Why, it
looks ridiculous that all the people
in this state has no minds of their
own, and that this man rules them.
Have we not amongst our working
men able and well-meaning candi-
dates for the Offices that we have to
fill? And lis it not about time to
bring out these men and elect them
to fill these offices? We have tried
the party now in power to such an
extent that it has about worked and
starved US to death. And as. the par
ty now in power has made such laws
that have become obnoxious to them,
to certain extent, they want to re-
peal some of them, but they can't
do it and hold their jobs. The only
remedy is for the working class to
put a Labor ticket in the field ,irre-
spective of party and vote to the man
to elect all good loyal labor men to,
our Congress and Legislature, and
&c after the duty of every working
man who has to earn a living. To
vote as a unit means success And
as our President and 'eX-Attorney-
General has. begun the campaign, >yit
is up to you to get busy and meet
them on the promises made in their
last campaign; to make yeuT work
sure and when the votes are counted
after the next election, show them
where the workingman STANDS in the
procession, and that he is able to as
sert his rights and will be able to-
make laws for the benefit of'the peo-
pie and not the trusts.
Put good men to work, and espe-
cially in the State Of Ohio; make a
campaign that will cause the world to
look upon this state as one that has
come out from under the Yoke of
Oppression. 1t can be done and will
be done, as 1 believe the people are
about educated to the point that they
must vote for their party interests
and get nothing in return.
Self preservation is the first law
of nature. He that provideth not
for his own household is worse than
