A BAKELY CORPORATION
WITH A SOUL.

With a oODl.
At last We get to read about a COZ
poration with d soul, at least it is be
ing published IN some Of our daily
newspapers, chow wonderful after all
these years.)
Some of our daily papers are pub
fishing an article telling how the
Ward Bakery Co. is going to per
form a lot Of charitable acts toward
the children, in our great country.
The Word Bakery CO., which is one
of the largest of the baking trusts,
has wonderful soul and are getting
very liberal at last. After fighting
the bakers, locking them out of THEN
shops, refusing them a fair living
wage and causing their children and
wives to go without food and decent
living conditions. Not satisfied with
that they are trying TO control the
output of the bakery goods as far as
they can reach, by their unfair price
cutting tactics in smaller towns where
the small independent baker is trying
to make living for his wife and
children.
Yes, they are going to do lot Of
charity work for few children, and
starve a few thousand others by put
ting the small independent bakeries
out of business.
What wonderful thing it is for the
people to read, about how charitable
the Ward Baking Co. is going to be,
and what splendid advertisement it
is for the Ward Baking Co. to get this
publicity on the front pages of our
daily newspapers.
The writer happens to know how the
Ward Baking Co. has starved the
bakers, locked them out of their shops
and made the little ones go without,
and how they are noY trying to bank
rupt the small independent bakeries
and throw their bakers out of work,
shicn will cause some more suffering
mong these bakers families, and
ye. IN me other hand they are going
20 do a lot of charitable work for
~Ai.aren. What a great soul they
nave, yes Tor themselves, but not fol
the people, that only ask for fair liv-
ing wages and decent living condi-
tons. 1t doesn't look as if the anti
trust law amounts to very much, con-
sidering the amount OF trusts that are
being formed and the high handed
way they carry on and get what they
want and go after.
AS The old saying goes, charity
begine at home, people Of the Twin
Cities, let US get together and see that
our Home Bakeries are supported ano
not driven to the wall, and all we have
to do is Patronize Them and they vii
stay here, as there is enough bushes.
in Gar cities 10 maintain our bakerie.
if we all support them and BUY
BAKERY GOODS that is UNION
MADE AT HOME.
Not only is this true about tn
bakery industries, but in every in
dustry that exists, this same thinl
must be overcome-SO DEMANI
THE UNION LABEL AND YOJ
CAN'T GO WRONG.

Commerce breaches this, but l wonde
how many business men pack home

great Community of ours.
We happen to know a banker VIII
says his aim is to trade at home
but he gave cigars to all his customer
