ing Merchant Who Refuses
to Help War Needs
Mount Union, Pa., Dec. 13.
Mount Union, the famous brick nnd
powder town, shows no mercy to
slackers. With a population of 6,000,
this flourishing town subscribed ?15.-
000 to the Y. M. C. A. from more
than 2,000 subscribers, and SI,OOO
from the High school £rom 100
boys. Every merchant and business
man in town subscribed liberally,
except one, find his business, lip to
the present time one of the heaviest
in town, is now in danger as the
result of the following poster, head
ed "A slacker," 2,000 of which were
distributed in the town:
"A would-be merchant dealing in
general merchandise, has repeatedly
refused to buy Liberty Bonds nf the
first and second issues, absolutely
refused to join or support the Red
Cross, or to contribute to the Y. M.
C. A. war fund. Furthermore, this
slacker has grossly insulted two lady
solicitors working for the Y. M. C. A.
war fund.
"Why should he be permitted to
prosper and enjoy the freedom and
liberty of our country and at the
same time assume an attitude that
will tend to destroy the very foun
dations upon which this God-fear
ing nation has been built* and for
which our forefathers fought so
valiently during the Revolution.
"Will you permit a slacker of this
type to hoard blood-stained dollars
while our boys are bleeding in the
trenches of Europe, while the Huns
are ravishing the women and chil
dren of Belgium and France. God
forbid, that the patriotic people of
Mount Union will allow this stain
upon her loyalty to exist while we
are sacrificing our boys and bending
our energies to defeat those barbar
ians who are threatening to destroy
our very homes.
"It is rumored that he has made
the remark that he is doing more
business since taking this stand of
disloyalty than at any time previous.
Americans, why continue to patron
ize this yellow r dog and allow him
to boast in this manner. Can't you
see that he is gambling with your
boys' lives?"
