LABOR MUST FIGHT -'-'
 FORCES SEEKING TO
 BUST ORGANIZATION
Boycott" Only Means of Come
 Back as Enemies Boycott fT~,, Unions.

In the light of present happenings even the most indifferent and poorly informed trade rnionists must be aware that organized labor is facing the concentrated attack of every agency that anti-labor forces can em- ploy and that their objective is the complete destruction of organized labor and to take away from the workers the protection that their or ganization affords them
 This powerful, wicked and greedy drive IS being given impetus by a sub sidized press and through the medium of which would be "union busters" strive to convince the public that their anti-union activities are based upon pure, unselfsh and highly patriotic motives; that they are de lenders of law and order, champions of the liberty and independence of the workers and that all who oppose their will are not. The truth IS that they are attempting to throw smoke screen of "solicitude" for "loyal workers and alleged patriotism around the real motive which is sole ly to INCREASE their profits at the expense of the workers.
 Organized workers must have mo- ticed that these hypocritical non union propagandists never refer to organized workers as loyal" This honor and distinction is' reserved for and accorded, it seems, only to the unorganized. However, these self-ap pointed guardians of American work CTS are opposed to collective bargain ing solely because labor so bought costs more than that purchased from the individual worker Furthermore they know that they can compel the unorganized to accept conditions that the organized would not submit to.
 In word, the anti-labor forces have declared war upon the organized workers not because they love the Independent workers' or care rap what becomes of them; not because they doubt the legal right of the workers to organize or question their wisdom for so doing; not because they believe that they are right in trying to crush the hopes and the as pirations of the workers for their just share of what they produce, but sole ly because they are convinced that their non-union policy will yield them larger profits than any other.
 Labor is handicapped in this war because of lack of resources, but is not entirely without means of de fense. There are five million organ ized workers in this country and they have millions of freinds and sympa- thizers. An effort should be made to enlist the service of every one of these to meet the attack of the ex- ploiters of labor. Union propaganda should be spread increasingly and every effort made to organize the un organized Labor papers must be subscribed to and circulated. Finally labor should make the fullest use of the most powerful weapon at it's com mand-the BOYCOTT. It must strike at the pocketbook of the en- emy for that is his most prized pos session. Boycott his products until it hurts and then and not until then vii he yield. Employ only union la bor and purchase only union label products and you will be doing your utmost for the cause. Remember the fight of the labor profteers is to re- duce your wages to the lowest possi- ble minimum Fight them with the boycott and every other means at your command
