When this message reached the police

Two young men were discovered IN

THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

As every one knows, c. w. Post of
Battle Creek, Michigan. is not only d
maker Of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individualist who believes that
the trades unions are a menace to the
liberty 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 a cease1ess warfare against
the Labor Trust" as he likes to call
it.
Not being able to secure free and
untramneled expression of his opinions
on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he has
bought advertising space for this pur-
pose, 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 result of Posts activities the
people now know whole lot about these
organizations; how they are honeycomb-
ed with graft. how they obstruct the
development of legitimate business. cur
tail labor's output, hold up manufactur-
ers, graft upon their own membership.
and rob the public Naturally Post is
hated by the trades unionists, and in
tensely.
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 a 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 Chica-
go Federation of Labor, who, it is said,
stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives FitZberald
the lie direct. He donounces Fitzgerald's
statement as a deliberate falsehood. an
underhanded and cowardly attempt TO
injure his business. having not the
slightest basis in fact. AS such an eff
fort it must be regarded. 1t is signifi-
cant that this statement about 1.-The pea
nut shells" is being given wide news
paper publicity. In the patent inside"
of an eastern country paper 1 find It,
and the inference naturally is that labor
unionites are insidiOusly spreading this
lie.
An institution Cor 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 10 effect
its ends, naturally would not hesitate
to spread faisehood 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-iive" kind of way We have
had enough of the tarred end of the stict
ito sympathize thoroughly with what he
is trying to do. He deserves support
man like Post can not be killed. even
with lies. They are a boomerang every
time. Again we know, for hasn't This
weapon every weapon that could he

of your Clifton correspondent to make
a sorry joke.

youths drew a revolver from his pocket.
There was noise and roomers came to

Mr.. Smith damned each stranger on the

When assistant chief of police Ten

and women in night drapery told about
it and led the way up the Alberta
stairs.
There crouched the two youthful
visitors under the range of shot gun
in the hands of Mr.. Smith and a full
sized revolver in the smaller hand of
Mrs. Smith. The Smiths were victors,
and the two young men were taken
away, their heads bleeding from the
shotgun caresses.
