=. This bluff, continues: the former
Populist, was in: the form Of an
open letter. to- the retail business
men Of Duluth,' and enclosed with
it, was an unfair list of job ;pria-
ing concerns, who. are not conduct.
ing their business in in,accordance with
union demands; '-.~.- :.
The: bulletin in question should. be
read, by: every ul.ion man and by
every friend of labor. While it con-
tains> many. errors and 1nisstate=
ments,- considerable boasting and
some. abuse, there are. features Of:
the bulletin which plainly expose ths
purpose Of. the anti-unionists. They
are: boycotting union labor. They
assert that union men do: not. take
sufficient; interest In their own af-s
fairs to-; stand up, against a fight
upon their. cause. They virtually
challenge organized labor to start
a boycott on local merchants. Like
the strike: breakers, they thrive on,
labor troubles. -:
