THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

AS everyone knows, C. w. Post Of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individual who believes that the
trades-unions are a menace to the lib
erty of the country.
Believing this, and being natural
born" scrapper for the right, as he
sees it, Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in a ceaseless war
fare against 1.-THE Labor Trust" as he
likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin-
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum STORY"
and he has thus spent hundreds 1
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS a result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Natu-
rally Post is hated by the trades.
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
The latest means of getting Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that car which was recently wrecked
In transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being shipped from the south to Posts
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, who, it is
said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fftz-
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
falsehood, an underhanded and coward
ly attempt to injure his business, hav.
ing not the slightest basis in fact. As
such an effort 1t must be regarded. It
Is significant that this statement about
the peanut shells" is being given wide
newspaper publicity. In the patent
inside" of an eastern country paper /
find 1t, and the inference naturally is
that labor-unionites are insidiously
spreading this lie
An institution (or a mani which
will resort to moral intimidation and
to physical force, that will destroy ma
chinery and burn buildings, that will
MAIN and kill If necessary to effect its
ends, naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur-
poses.
We admire Post. While we have no
enmity toward labor unions, so long as
they are conducted in an honest, live
and-let-live" kind of a way, we have ha5
enough of the tarred end of the stict.
to sympathize thoroughly with what he
is trying to do. He deserves support.
A man like Post can not be killed, even
with lies They are boomerang, every
time. Again, we knoiO, for hasn't this
weapon, every weapon that could be
thought of, been used (and not simply
by labor unions) to put us out of busi-
ness, too?

came an unpopular occupation. Men
OF more legitimate enterprise began
to wonder If the time was not com
ing by and by when they could do
business on or within the borders of
that territory without the protection
of company of soldiers. The fame
OF Bill Mcdonald was on every mans
tongue and those who had not seen
him, especially the outlaws still at
large, usually conceived him to be
very terrible person-large, bushy,
heavy of voice and fierce of mien. Yet
he was just the opposite of all these
things. He was slender, quiet, blue
eyed and gentle of voice-only he had
that gift of ~command-that look and
that manner Of speech with law-break-
ers which they did not disobey The
time came presently in No-man's Land
when his name alone and rumor that
he was coming was sufficient to cause
gang to contemplate emigration.
1t is neither necessary nor possible
to give a full history of all the raids
that during the brief period of little
lawlessness in that stray corner of the
nation and reclaimed an abandoned
land.
Mcdonald heard of a cow-thief in
No-man's Land who was working on
his own hook-a sporadic case, as one
might say-and went over to arrest
him. He descended upon him in an un-
expected moment and though the out
law strenuously protested that it being
Sunday the law of arrest did not hold
good Deputy Bill conveyed him across
the border and down into Roberts
county. where the cattle had been
stolen.
Nor were the raids into No-man's
Land altogether pleasure excursions,
even though Deputies Bill Mcdonald
and Lon Burson, with their headlong
tactics and general disregard of death,
had things pretty much their own way
