Just your moral support will Insure
work, a living, and comforts which
are now either partly or wholly de

How so?
Come on, let's have a look.
You've often been Importuned and
many have been commanded by ad
vertisement or otherwise to "refuse
to buy anything unless It bears the
union label."
Looks harmless on Its face, doesn't
It?
It really Is a "demand" that you
boycott the products made by over 80
per cent, of our American working
men and women, who decline to pay
fees to, and obey the dictates of the
union leaders.
It demands that you ask the mer
chant for articles with the "union
label," thus to Impress him with Its
Importance.
It seeks to tell you what to buy and
what to refuse. The demands are
sometimes most Insolent, with a
"holier than thou" Impudence.
It demands that you take away tho
living of this 80 per cent, of American
workingmen and women.
Is that clear?
Why should a small body of work
men ask you to help starve the larger
body?
There must be some reason for the
"union label" scheme.
Ron over In your mind and remem
ber how they carry on their work.
During a discussion about working
or striking In the coal regions, about
25,000 men preferred to work, they
had wives and babies to feed The
anion men said openly In their con
vention that If the employers didn't
discharge these men they (the union
men) would kill them.
So they dynamited about a dozen
homes, maimed and crippled women
and children and brutally assaulted
scores of theBe Independent workers.
The big boys of the union men were
taught to pound the school children
of the Independent men. How would
you like to have your little girl short

used to sit on your lap and love "Dad

her way home from the school where
she had gone to try and please Daddy
by learning to read?
The little bruised face and body
would flrst need tender care while you
ponder the Inscription writ deep In
your heart, by that Master and Guide

done It unto Me." Then perhaps you
would drop to your knees and pray

Helpless children were brought
home, with faces black or bleeding
from the blows and kicks of these

by Iron shod heels, cut by knives or

long suffering patience is extended In
the hope that the men and women of
America may some day wake to a

tn Wellston, Ohio, thirty Amer
icans sought employment In a factory.
They were seeking to earn food for
their families. They were bombarded
by rocks and pounded with clubs In
the bands of union men.
One of the Injured, John llrannl-
han, was taken to the city hospital
with a broken Jaw. crushed skull and
Qther cuts and bruises. He was the
father of two children, and was
thought to be dying. Perhaps be did
I don't know, but I sometimes wonder
what the children said to Mother
when "Papy" didn't come home, and
how they and the little woman got
any food, and bow they could place
their wrongs before their own Amer
ican fellows.
Maybap sometime soma kind per
son will equip a home where the or
phans and widows of the victims of
the Labor Trust may be cared for and
fed.
It would take a big home. It has
been said there were 31 Americans
many ot them fathers, killed In one
strike, (the teamsters In Chicago)
and over 5000 maimed, many for life.
That's only one "lesson" of these
bullies. There are literally thousands
of cases wherein your fellow Amer
ican has been assaulted, maimed or
killed by these men. The same work
Is going on day by day. Suppose you
make a practice of picking out each
day from the papers, accounts of bru
tality to American workingmen who
prefer to work free from the Impu
dence and tyranny of self constituted
leaders (?) than to be always subject
to their beck and call, pay them fees
and be told by tbem when and where
to work, and for whom. You will
discover the same general conditions
underlying all these dally attacks.
In every case the workingman pre
fers to be free. He has that right.
He then tries to go to work. He and
his family sorely need the money for
food or he wouldn't run the risk of
his life. Many such a man has wiped
the tears away and quieted the fears
of a loving wife, left with a kiss on
her Hps, set his manly Jaw and
walked Into a shower of stones and
bullets to win food for the loved
mother and babies.
A good many have been brought
home on stretchers with blood oozing
from nose and ears, some cold, while
some gradually recover, and carry for
life the grim marks of the "union
label."
They are your fellows, my frlenja,
and yet you supinely redd the ac
counts and say "too bad."
Have you grown so calloused that
you care nothing for the sufferings of
these men who need food and these
helpless ones who rely on the life and
strength of husband and father?
Let us hope that soon you may be
moved by a just God to rlcf In your
might and by voice and pen, by vote
and right arm you will do a man's
part in protecting yourselves and
your brothers from this onslaught on
American citizens. This cruel war
fare Is carried on not always to raise
wages, but to establish union' con
trol, kick out the independent men
and establish the "label."
Unfortunately the "Labor move
ment" which, started many years ago
honestly enough, has fallen under
control of a lot of tyrannical, vicious
"men of violent tendencies."
There are too many to attempt to

If allowed full sway, no lndepend
ent man could keep working in a free
factory, for the goods wouldn't sell,
no matter how perfectly they be made.
Then, when the factory has been
forced to close and the employes get
hungry enough from lack of wages
the workers must supplicate the
union leaders to be "allowed" to pay
their fines (for not becoming mem
bers before) and pay their monthly
fees to the purse-fat managers of the
Labor Trust. Thereupon (under or
ders) before the factory be allowed
to start they muBt force the owners
of the business to put on the "union
label" or strike, picket the works,
and turn themselves Into sluggers and
criminals towards the Independent
workers who might still refuse to
bend the knee and bow the head.

of the "brotherhood of man," mean
