combat the open shop campaign now

organized labor This is no time for
dlly.dallying: no time for unions TO

freedom in the industrial relation, so

R. C. TAYLOR. Executive Sec.
G W. cushman, President"
According to the Associated EN-
ployers through its president, G. W.
Cushman, and its secretary, r. C.
Taylor, openly charged that the $500
members of organized labor in the
Twin Cities are un-American. Could |
the man who created and forged for
patriotic purposes that word "Ameri /,
canism,' Theodore Roosevelt, rise
from his grave and see the monopoly
which the non-union employers are at |
tempting to place on it, it would be
difficult TO realize the scornful de.
nunciation he would make of those
men.
As for Mr.. Jansen, who comes from
Rock Island, Moline and Davenprt. |
where they have attempted to put the
non'union program in force, did he
tell his hearers the actual conditions
there? former Champaign lady
VINO is resident of Moline, writes a
lady friend here last week as follows:
All the shops have shut down in
TINS town and the few that are run
nlng are only working two days a
week and the wages are cut to So a
Jay They are going to cut the street |
car mems wages from 20 cents to 40
cents, and all of the carpenters, plum
pers, paper hangers and trade men
ar con strike because their wages
are cut, so you can see the condition
IN thls town is almost in a panic. The |
saiVatlon Army feeds the poor people |
Ior dinner and supper and there were |
4oo IN the line the other day, and they
only serve coffee, soup and bread |
mere are lot of empty houses be- |
cause people won't come down on |
rent, and street car fare is &c. and |
everything is about as high. If you
are Gown town on a week day the |
streets are just crowded with men, |
iou would think there was going to
oe parade. None of the men on
ehe streets are working and the pa
peIs nave asked people that are work !
Ise 70 donate what they can to peo- |
PIE that are without work. and the |
oniiaren are taking potatoes to school /
anu they are distributing them around. |
so you can see how things are here"
luls, readers, is from Mr.. Jansens |
loihe a city, where things are operated |
a eoi smut down rather) on the so-called |
uoh'union American plan" the AS
sosia.ea Employers would put into ef-
'ee' here. Do you want it?
