Tine REAL MENACE.

Il Is not organized labor that Is
threatening the future OF this coun-
try. Neither Is II the insatialc greed
Of capitalism.
Without organization labor Wouli
be- umdcrpaid and underfed.
Without the capitalist there would
hc no adequate avenues for the en-
ployment Of labor.
both must survive.
But the menace with which W.
must cope Is the alien parasite who
has fastened himself on organized
labor and Is daily eating Of the
heeri Of the great American rcpub-
he.
These radicals from other lands
are IN a majority Of cases not even
citizens Of u country. They are
not loyal 10 our institutions nor T.
the true interests Of the orRanixa-
tons 10 which they have attached
themselves.
They are alien agitaiors and de-
struyers-noihing more. They preach
their pernicious doctrines and prey
upon the suscepubililics OF others
with the sole idea In view Of creating
discord and disruption for their
own individual advantage. They
would displace the intelligent lead
ership Of labor organizations and
usurp the seat Of authority them
selves. And they are succeeding In
these nefarious undertakings 10 an
alarmingly wonderful degree.
Violence is their only effective
weapon. and this they employ 10 the
limit Of their possibilities in their
campaign Of brutality and intimi-
dation.
They are shrewd enough. how
ever, 10 see that the responsibility
for their devilishness is laid at the
door Of Organized labor, and by this
meant escape the individual punish
ment which is their Just due.
The American people have been
bully ragged by these aliens unil pa
tience is no longer a virtue.
The time Is at hand for the gov
eminent the law abiding element OF
organized labor and the public D.
kick these malcontcnts out Of The
country place them where they can
not longer agiiate and destroy.
The poisonous snake is a source Of
constant danger and Is promptly
crushed.
The alien parasite who Is suck
ing the blood of honest labor and
preaching sediiion among our citi-
zen Is n national peril and should
be exterminaied.
