Union Haters.

Governor Marshall is one OF the
prominent candidates for the presi-
dencE Of the United States.
Every working man in the state
and nation should hiss his name and
point at him the finger of scorn and
contempt.
In his snbserviency to corporate
power his eaGerness to lick the boots
or his masters, he merits the cXccra-
ton Of all organized labor.
The Socialist party must be at the
head and front of the movement to
rescue these intended victims.
The very method of their capture
and deportation stamps them as in
nocent men and condemns the kid-
naping scoundrels who expect to
profit by their execution.
J. Let the buSlc Cry of revolt be
sounded to the working class of the
United States. These outraged un-
ion men are our brethren and we
are going to rescue them from the
clutches Of their would-be murder
crs at Whatever cost
Every possible means must be en-
ployed to stir the workers and incite
them to raise the standard of revolt
This is war upon organized labor,
upon us all and We mean to fight.
If there is FED blood in the revolu-
tionary movement now IS the time to
show it,
ne nlhtteT OF the innocence or
guilt of the accused is not involved.
They have been kidnapped, stolen
bodily from their homes, families
and friends. brutally outraged in de-
flance not only of their legal rights
but OF the commonejt decencies to
which even the lowest criminals are
entitled. and this is our grievance
and upon this issue We make our ap-
peal to the working class and the
nation.
The cause of these union men is
our cause. If they can be kidnapped
and murdered by corporation pirates
in connivancc with their official hire
