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 a natural
born" scrapper for the right. as he
sees it, Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in ceaseless war
fare against 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 of
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS a result OF Posts activities the
people now know whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labors 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 il
said. stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fftz-
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
FftZgerald's statement as a deliberate
ialsehood. an underhanded and coward
ly attempt TO injure his business, hav-
ing not the slightest basis in fact. AS
such an effort it must be regarded. IL
is significant that this statement about
the peanut shells" is being given wide
newspaper publicity. In the patent
inside" of an eastern country paper I
find ii. and the inference naturally is
that labor-unionites are insidiously
spreading this lie.
An institution (or NAM 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
>nds. 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 had
enough of the tarred end OF the stick
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 knotr. for hasn't this
weapon. every weapon that could be
thought of, been used land not simply
by labor unions) to put US out of bush
ness. too?
I am going to drink fico cups of
Postum every morning from this time
on. and put myself on a diet Of Grape
Nuts. Bully for Post.-EdffoyiaI In

Philadelphia, Pa-With two dead,
three in hospitals believed to be fla
tally injured and more than 1000
wounded in the three days of lawless-
ness that followed the strike of street
car men, rioting was resumed We'd
nesday morning al soon as an attempt
was made TO run cars. A mob of 5000
attacked a car manned by strike
breakers, dragged the men from the
platform and beat them numerically
Policemen who tried TO rescue the
men were attacked with bricks, five
of them being seriously injured
The policemen finally dispersed the
crowd and made score OF arrests

~ Labor leaders say that general
strike will go into effect Wednesday,
and that the engineers and other men
in the traction power houses will be
called out.
John Hughes. s years old, OF 1920

during the riots tuesday, died in the
Samaritan hospital This makes the
third death
W E. Collins Of 4032 North Fifth
street is near death in the Episcopal
hospital. He received a bullet wound
Monday. His brother Albert Collins,
is in the same hospital. having been
shot during the rioting in which his
brother was hurt He is also said to
be dying.
Walter Enead. Is years old. who
was shot below the hear in the riots
in the northeastern part of the city
Tuesday. is near death at the Samari-
tan hospital.
That no general sympathy strike
will go into effect Wednesday is the
general opinion of union leaders. If
there should be the transit company's
power house men will likely be the
first to be called out. 1t is estimated
that 5000 members of various unions
have already gone out in sympathy
with the striking car men.
The monetary loss caused by the
strike is hard TO estimate, but it east
ly runs into the millions Hundreds
OF cars have been wrecked and
smashed. store fronts and houses bad
ly damaged Business is almost para
lyzed. Particularly is this applicable
to the retail shopping trade. Women,
terrified by the reports of rioting and
bloodshed, will not ride on the street
cars and are remaining at home.
Probably the theaters are feeling
the effects of the strike more acutely
than any other enterprises Some of
them have already closed down until
after the strike is settled
The failure of the state fencibles,
an independent military organization,
to intimidate the strike sympathizes
in the northwestern section of the
city Tuesday. was the basis of a con
ference which was called for We'd
nesday between Gov. Stuart. Adjjt-
Gen Stuart, Brighten Bowman and
Mayor Rayburn.

conference will decide whether the
