Superintendent Mills Speaks.
John Mills. superintendent of the

with an eloquent appeal for the moral

Figh school boy was of that age when
he needed the most careful watching

that the young man who escaped tho

community which tolerates the things
that bring about his downfall
Mr.. Mills made an ardent plea for

ing men and to the public at large,
but they seek to add TO their long list
OF VllllanouS acts.
On Sunday, January md, 1910, The
Chicago Federation of Labor allowed
to pass to the press a statement
that three carloads of empty peanut
ShuokS were found in a railroad wreck
and were consigned TO our Company.
That statement, was a wiIfuI.
malicious lie made from the whole
cloth.
1t was inspired by the usual hate
for everyone not under the yoke Of
the Labor Trust.
1t is favorite method Of the average
"JaWsmith"-the noisy ones in the
unions-when confronted with facts
regarding the assaults, destruction of
property. and other crimes, (too often
including murder) to concoct and put
out deliberate falSehoods.
This attack on the business of the
Postum Cereal Co. is a good illuStra-

They have tried for years to boycott
the products, ruin the business. and
take away the living of our faithful
employees, (about loco persons).
