THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1909.

All

It won't cost you a penny to reach out a helping hand to a great army of honest, hard-working and deserving men and women. Just your moral support will Insure work, a living, and comforts which are now , either partly or wholly denied them. How so? Oome on, let's have a look. You've often been Importuned and many have been commanded by advertisement or otherwise to "refuse to buy anything unless it bears the union label." Looks harmless on Its face, doesnt it? It really is a "demand" that you boycott the products made by over 80 per cent of our American worklngmen and women who decline to pay fees to, and obey the dictates of the union leaders.

It demands that you ask the merchant 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 "ho!' ler than thou" Impudence. It demands that you take away the living of this 80 per cent of American worklngmen and women. Is that clear? Why should a small body of work lngmen ask you to help starve the larg er body? There must be some reason for the "union label"' scheme. Run over in your mind and remem her 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 union men said openly in their convention 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 these 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 shortly grown from the toddling baby who used to sit on your lap and love "Daddy," pounded by some big bullies on her way home from the school where she t had gone to try to please Daddy by learning to read? The little bruised face and body would first need tender care while you ponder , the inscription writ deep in your heart, by that Master and Guide to all human compassion, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my done it unto me." would' drop to pray Almighty God brethren ye have Then perhaps you your knees and for strength In your light arm to strike one manly and powerful blow for baby's sake, even if you went to death for It. Helpless children were brought home with faces black or bleeding from the blows and kicks of these fiends, teaching Independent Americans that they must stop work; when told and pay fees to the leaders of "labor." Thousands of men, women and children have been treated thus. s - Prom somewhere, Oh, Father of us all we try to believe that You look with pitying eyes upon these brutal blows, cuts and scars on the many human bodies made In your likeness and : image. They "are beautifully and wonderfully made, each the dwelling place of a Divine Soul. Is It Your wish that they be crushed by Iron shod heels, cut by knives or torn asunder by bullets and dynamite? May we venture to think that a long suffering patience Is extended in the hope that the men , and women of America may someday watoe to a realisation of the awful cruelties perpetrated by this spirit of oppression and that they will some time learn the lesson that the "sacred gift of human freedom and liberty" was given by God and must be defended even to death itself. Our forefathers were used by the Infinite God to establish our freedom in 1T76, and our fathers gave freely of their blood and treasure to establish the freedom of the black. Now again It seems we are called upon to protect our brothers and ourselves from that old time spirit of tyranny which comes np from time to time to force people to obey tyrannous rules and bend the knee of the slave. In Wellston, Ohio, thirty Americans 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 hands of union men. One of the injured, John Brannihan was taken to the city hospital with a broken jaw, crushed skull and other cuts and bruises. He was the father of two children and was thought to be dying. Perhaps he - did I don't know, but I sometimes wonder what the children said to Mother when "Pappy" didn't come home, and how they and the little woman got any food and how they could place their wrongs before their own American fellows. Mayhap sometime some hand person will equip a home where the orphans 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 of them fathers, killed in one strike, (the teamsters in Chicago) and over 5,000 maimed, many for life.

That's only one "lesson" of these bul-1

lies. There are literally thousands of cases wherein your fellow American has been assaulted, maimed or killed by these men. The same work Is goine on dav bv day. SuDDOse you make a practice of picking out each day from the papers, accounts of brutality to American worklngmen who prefer to work free from the impudence and tryanny of self constituted leaders (?) than to be always subject to their beck and call, nav them fees and be told by them when and where to work and for whom. You will discover the same general conditions underlying all these daily attacks. In every case the working man 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 rish 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 lips, 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 earn, some cold, while some gradually recover, and carry for life the grim marks of the "union la bel." They are your fellows, my friends, and yet you supinely read the accounts 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 rise in your might and by voice and pen, by vote and rizht arm you will do a man's part in protecting yourselves and your brothers from this onslaught on American citizens. This cruel warfare is carried on not always to raise wages, but to establish union control, kick out the independent men and establish the "label." , Unfortunately the "Labor movement," which started many years ago honestly enough, has fallen under con trol of a lot of tyrannical, vicious "men of violent tendencies." There are too many to attempt to name. You can recall inem. iney include men who have planned the murders of miners, teamsters, pressmen and caroenters. shoemakers and independent workmen of all kinds. Many of them have escaped hanging by an outraged public only because juries became terror stricken and dare not convict them. Some have been punished slightly and some, including the principal officers of this nefarious crew are now under sentence to imprisonment, but have appealed their cases. Right here some apologist rises to protest against speaking thus of laboring men." Ble6s your dear heart, it Isn't the honest and real workman who does these things, It Is the excitable ones and the toughs and thugs who don't work except with their mouths, but have secured control of too many unions. I don't even attempt to specify the criminal acts these persons have assisted or winked at in their plan for destroying free workingmen and forcing men to stay in "the union" and hence under their control. The newspapers for the past seven years contain almost dally accounts of the criminal, lawless and tyrannical acts against American citizens and haven't told half the tale. Right here It becomes necessary to say for the ten thousandth, time that there are scores of honest law-abiding union men who deplore and are in no way responsible for the long infamous record of the "Labor Trust," under Its present management, but they don't seem to stop It. , The men who manage, who pull the strings and guide the policy have made the record and it stands, as made by them... Examine, if you please, the record of a string of members of the American Federation of Labor and you will view a list of crimes again6t Americans stupendous beyond belief. They d-i-fy the laws, sneer at the courts, incite mobs and are avowed enemies of the peaceable citizens of all classes. This band wields an Iron bar over their subjects and drives them to Idleness whenever they want to call a strike or exact extra pocket money for themselves. Men don't want to be thrown out of work and lose their livelihood, but what can they do when the slugging and murdering committee stands always ready to "do them" if they try to work. The poor women and helpless children suffer and no one dares present their case to the public They must suffer in silence for they have no way to right their wrongs, while the notoriety-seeking leaders carry out their work. These men cannot thus force oppression on the weak, and innocent or use them to bring newspaper notice to themselves and money to their pockets unless they can "hold them In line." Therefore, with the craft of the fox and venom of the serpent they devise the "union label" and tell the public to buy only articles carrying that label. Smooth scheme, isn't It? ; ' They extract a fee from every union man, and In order to get these monthly fees, they must hold ! the workers in "the union" and force manufacturers to kick; out ail Independent men. S .Vs. Can anyone devise a more complete and tyrannical trust?

If allowed full sway no Independent

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 work ers must supplicate the union leaders to be "allowed" to pay their fines (for not becoming members before) and pay their monthly fees to the purse-fat managers of the Labor Trust- Thereupon (under orders) before the factory be allowed to start they must 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. In the meantime babies and moth ers go hungry and shoeless, but who cares. The scheming leaders are trained to talk of the "uplifting of labor" and shed tears when they speak of the "brotherhood of man" meaning the brotherhood of the "Skinny Maddens," "Sheas," "Gompers," et al, always excluding the medium or high-grade independent workers. Perhaps you have noticed lately that the makers of the finest hats, shoes and other articles have stopped putting on the union label. Naturally the Labor Trust managers have ordered their dupes to strike, lie idle, scrap, fight, slug and destroy property to force the makers to again put on "the label." But for. some reason the buying public has been aroused to the insults and oppression behind it and in thousands of cases have refused to buy any article carrying, what some one named the "tag of servitude and oppression." The bound and gagged union slave is fined from $5.00 to $25.00 if he buys any article not bearing the "union label." Nevertheless, he, time and again, risks the penalty and buys "free" goods simply in order to help the fellow workingman who is brave enough to work where he pleases without asking permission on bended knees from the bulldozing leaders who seek by every known method of oppression and hate to govern him. If these poor wageworkers will thus brave fine and slugging to help out other men who seek to live a free life under our laws and constitution cannot you, reader, help a little? Will you reach out a hand to help an independent ' workman earn food for, his wife and babies? Or will you from apathy and carelessness allow him to be thrown out of work and the helpless suffer until they prostrate themselves before this stupendous and tyrannical aggregation of leeches upon honest American labor? The successor of Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, says: "Union labor hatred for 'labor burns like a flame, eats like nitric acid, is malignant beyond all description. But the other day, a woman representing a certain union visited many families in Plymouth church asking them to boycott a certain institution. Alas this union woman's hatred for non-union women burned in her like the fires of hell. She was pitilessly, relentlessly and tirelessly pursuing the non-union women and men to destroy the market for goods, to ruin their factory and to starve them out. In the French revolution only 2 of the French people believed in violence. The 98 per cent disclaimed violence and yet the 98 per cent allowed the 2 per cent to fill the streets of Paris with festering corpses, to clog the Seine with dead bodies, to shut up every factory in Paris, until the laboring classes starved by the score. The small per cent element in the Labor Trust which hates and seeks to destroy the large per cent of independent Americans sends out letters declaring "free" industries unfair and tries to boycott their products. If they could bind everyone it would bring suffering upon hundreds of thousands, inmeasurable ruin upon the country, and land it absolutely under control of the men now attempting to dictate the daily acts of our people and extract from each a monthly fee. There are babies, children, women and honest, hard-working and skillful fathers who rely upon the protection of their fellows, when they seek to sell their labor where they choose, when they choose, and for a sum they believe it to be worth. Every citizen having the rights, privileges and protection of a citizen has also the responsibility of a citizen. The Labor Trust leaders may suavely "request" (or order those they can) to buy only "union label" articles, and you can of course obey if you are under orders. Depend upon it. the creatures of the Labor Trust will, upon reading this, visit stores and threaten dire results unless all the things bear "the label." They go so far as to have - their women pretend to buy things, order yards of silk or cloth torn off and various articles wrapped up and then discover "no label," and refuse them. That's been done hundreds of times and is but one of the petty acts of hatred and tyranny. Let no one who reads this article understand that he or she Is asked to boycott any prod ucts whether it bears a "union label" or not. One has a constitutional right to examine the article and see whether its makers are

Labor Trust contributors and slaves or are free and independent Americans. I have tried to tell you something about those who are oppressed, vilified, hated, and when opportunity offers are attacked because they prefer to retain their own Independent Amer lean manhood. These men are In the vast majority and include the most skillful artisans in the known world. They have wives and babes dependent on them. These men are frequently oppressed and have no way to make their wrongs known. They are worthy of defense. That's the reason for the expenditure of a few thousands of dollars to send this message to the American people. Remember, I didn't say my "excuse" for sending it. The cause needs no "excuse." C. W. POST. Battle Creek, Mich. N. B. Some "parlor socialist" who knows nothing of the Russian Czarism of the great Labor Trust will ask right here: "Don't you believe in the right of certain workmen to "organize." Oh yes, brother, when real workmen manage wisely and peacefully, but I would challenge the right of even a church organization when its affairs had been seized by a motley crew of heartless, vicious men who stopped Industries, incited mobs to attack citizens and destroy property in order to establish their control of communities and affairs, and subject everyone to their orders and exact the fees. When you see work of this kind being done call on or write the prosecuting officers of your district and demand procedure under the Sherman anti-trust law, and prosecution for conspiracy and re straint of trade. We have the law but the politicians and many of our off! cers even while drawing pay from the people are afraid to enforce it in pro tection of our citizens and now the big Labor Trust is moving heaven and earth to repeal the law so their nefar ious work may be more safely carried on. But You. Why don't you strike out and demand defense for your fellows? Put your prosecuting officers to the test and insist that; they do their sworn duty, and protest to your con gressmen and legislators against the repeal of the Sherman Anti-Trust law. Its repeal is being pushed by the La bor Trust and some big capital trusts in order to give each more power to oppress. Do your duty and protest In this great American Republic ev eryone must be jealous of the right of individual liberty and always and ever resent the . attempts made to gain power for personal aggrandizement. Only the poor fool allows his liberty to be wrested from him. Someone asks "how about your own workmen ?" I didn't intend to speak of my own affairs, but so long as the question is almost sure to be asked I don't mind telling you. x ne rostum workers are about a thousand strong, men and women, and don't belong to labor unions. The Labor Trust has, time without nun bers, sent "organizers" with money to give "smokers," etc., and had their "orators" declaim the "brotherhood of man" business, and cry salty tears describing the fearful conditions of the "slaves of capital" and all that. But the "confidence game" never worked, for the decent and high grade Postum workers receive 10 per cent over the regular wage scale. They are the highest paid, richest and best grade of working people In the state of Michigan and I believe in the United States. They mostly own their own homes, and good ones. Their wages come 52 weeks in a year and are never stopped on the order of some paid agent of the Labor Trust. They have savings accounts in the banks, houses of their own and steady work at high wages, v. They like their daily occupation in the works (come and ask them) and are not slaves, and yet the Labor Trust leaders have done their best to ruin the sale of their products and force them into idleness and poverty. It would cost the worklngmen of Battle Creek (our people and about 3000 others) from $1000.00 to $2000.00 a month in fees to send out to the leaders of the Labor Trust, if they would allow themselves to become "organized" and join the Trust. Not for them, they keep the money, school the children and live "free." That's some comfort for white people. Once in a while one of the little books "The Road to Wellville." we put in the pkgs. of Postum, GrapeNuts and Post Toasties, Is sent back to us with a sticker pasted across it saying "Returned 'because it dont bear the union label. Then we join hands and sing a hymn of praise for the discovering by some one that our souls are not seared with the guilt of being conspirators to help bind the chains of slavery upon fellow Americans by placing added power in the hands of the largest, most oppressive and harmful trust the world has ever seen. When you Beek to buy something look for the "union label" and speak your sentiments. That's an opportunity to reach out a helping hand to the countless men and women in all kinds of Industry who brave bricks, stones and bullets, to maintain their American manhood and freedom by making the finest goods in America and which do not bear the seal of industrial slavery, the "Union Label."
