NY dear Grandfather:
I am writing to you from my rest
camp after coming out of the first
battle. 1t was certainly hard
fought battle of four days and four
nights on front lines. We were in
reserve for a couple Of weeks before
our time came on Sunday after
noon to go cover The Top. We
passed through a terrible barrage.
We gained a valley and laid in wait
until darkness. We went on further
at daybreak the following morning.
The machine gums were abe next
thing that we had to contend with.
Nothing can stop a hardy dare dew

to allow any casualties. Mustard

Labor Unions Are
A Real Menace
KEEP OUR COURTS AND LEGIS-
LATURE FREE FROM THIS
TYRANNY" is ADVICE.
(By A. r. A. Laudon.)
SHALL THE FARMER BE PROHI-
BITED FROM FARMING HIS
OWN LAND, THE MER-
CHANT FROM HIS
OWN STORE.

This promises to be one of the is
sues of the coming. campaign. Labor
Unions, say eyes, prohibit to the IL
nit" What do you say, Mr.. Farmer
Mr.. Merchant?
Our supreme Court has already
answered the question, by refusing
union labors request. Union now
says, "We'll elect a new legislature
and supreme court. When we get the
legislature and the court, we'll talk.
While Uncle Sam is trying to save
our boys by crowding the war to a
rapid close, adopts its work or fight
order, urges us to speed up, Union
Labor goes to the other extreme with
the "stop, slow down" motto on its
banner.
The wrath Of union labor was hal
ted by the Court. Earle H. Rora-

beck owned a moving picture thea
ter in Minneapolis, and collided with
Motion Picture Operators Union Lo-
cal PIG. Rorabeck himself was an ex-
pert motion picture operator and had
employed union assistants. Rorabeck
was not member of the Union, and
cannot become member because the
constitution Of the union provides
that no owner, part owner, or mana
ger of a place of amusement can ever
become member. Rorabeck Twas
willing to employ union labor as as
sistants. All he asked was to have
the right to work in his own theater.
The Union said "No, only union oper-
ators can work.. After several con-
ferences no agreement could be reach
ed. The Union then hook drastic
steps. In the Labor Review, labors
official paper, Rorabeck was adver-
tised as unfair to organised labor.
A large banner bearing the words
"This Theater is unfair to organized
labor" was caused to be carried back
and forth at the theaters front door
day and night. People fearing trouble
kept away from the theater, and Ro-
rabeck saw hi business disappear. He
appealed to the court for an injunc-
ton. On August 2, 1918 our Sup
RENE Court handed down it's deci-
sion The Court Holds "That the
constitution guarantees to every man
the right to work in his own business
and any attempt to deprive him of
that right is unlawful and that ban
nering him for the purpose of con-
polling him not to work is unlawful. y
If Union labor has the right to
| stop man from working in his own
theater, it has the right to stop the
farmer from working on his own
farm, or the merchant in his store
If it can stop you from your work
! it is taking your property, and the
taking Of your property the next 10
gical step. Wake up, Mr.. Farmer and
bury the Union Labor Non Partisan
League combine so deep it can never
be resurrected.
If Townley's socialist bunch get
! control of both legislature and the
courts, then heaven protect both the
farmer and unorganised labor from,
he tyranny they threaten to impose!
