Indictments against IL directors of

jury OF Hudson county, New Jersey.
Inc beer magnates are charged with
conspirlng TO raise prices by keeping
food in cold storage for protracted pc

The voting of these indictments is
believed to be the forerunner of the
finding of more true bills by the Jer-

The finding of the true bills was the
sequel to the evidence of DR. George

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 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 a ceaseless war
fare agains. 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
tradesunionism
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.
nf o. ic
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 Fitz-
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
falsehood, an undetermined and coward
ly attempt to injure his business, hay
ing not the slightest basis in fact AS
such an effort it must be regarded. 1t

newspaper publicity. In the patent

that labor-unionites are insidiously
spreading this lie.
An institution Tor 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 it's
ends, naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur-
poses.

with lies. They are boomerang, every

II is not correct to say that Gene

The word is from the Greek "Koime
