Has been declared by the labor unions
against the products of the Postum Cereai
Co., Ltd., vis: Grape-Nuts and Postum
Food, Coffee.
The labor papers notify the public not to
buy these things until Mr. C. W. Post, the
proprietor, obeys the orders of tha unions. 1
These orders" axe that he witnaraw
the advertising from certain newspapers
Ihsjt nave fallen under their displeasure.
They openly announce that they propose
to 'break up," "ruin" and "put out of
buMnoss". the publishers of such papers,
and insist that Mr. Post Join la this con
spiracy with them.
These publishers have been faithful ia
thoir contracts with Mr. Post, are uptight
buslaees men and good clUsens. their only
crime being that they decline to turn over
the management of their papers to the
leaders of the labor trusts (alias unions),
who, are generally ignorant, willful and
violent men. Incapable of conducting a
business.
Mr. Post declines to be party to such un
lawful conspiracy to financially ruin any
one, and this, together with the fact that
he haa been rash enough to publicly expose
some, of the criminal acts of members of
labor v.riqna, has produced this boycott.
The average American cltlxen. not em
ploying labor, knows little of tha Insuffer
able arrogance. Impudence and violence of
the ignorant bullies, decorated with brief
power of tha most tyrannous of all trusts,
tha "labor trust,1 or unions.
Put supreme power in the hands of any
Ignorant man. not accustomed to affairs,
and he quickly becomes a bully, denounc
ing; and abusing anyone and everyone who
does not Instantly obey his "orders." He
care nothing for law or the rights of
others.
Tho unions are- made up of two classes.
1st. The men who have a ready and
abusive tongue, and who can howl down,
and by violent and loud talk dominate the
meetings cf the unions. '
These mbn ar seldom if ever good work
ers or thrifty, home-owning and desirable
cltlaens; they have small chance on their
own merit to earn Arst-clasa wages, un
less they can force -themselves on em
ployes by a union card. They bring on
strikes and misery for good workmen and
try to. and do, blackmail employers into
settling same by paying them graft money.
Some of tkam have been jailed for such of
fences, but the great -majority still hold
forth. They have brought untold dis
grace on the fair name of "labor" and
mad the term , "the poa-er werken mon" a
byword, biased and laughed at by the
public. 1 -
The second or other class in the labor
unions is made up at capable, Intelligent,
peaceable, thrifty cttlsens. who go into
unions with the laudble purpose of better
ing their conditions and to support an
honest association, which they hope will
be honestly conducted, truly and fairly, In
the interests of labor; bat to their surprise
and dlKgUst tkey find that whenever they
try to. speak in tha meetings for fairness
and honorable procedure they are hooted
and howled down by tha other class.
They try to counsel peace, equity and
Justice. but . they might aa well
launch a feather In a cyclone. ,Then they
sometimes try to kep st work when they
reed the wages, snd know they are fair,
but they are abuaed and frequently their
families maltreated and themselves beaten
i k Into eabml.-i.lon. so there are literally
hundreds of thuu.iamla of decent American
Workmen absolutely forced to bear the
disgrace and Ignominy of the falling yoke
f uUonlain. Wause of the hatul tyranny
of the others.

peaceable worker, and,, corespondlng dis
like and antipathy to the arrogant and vio
lent pretender of the other class.
The second class named are, for the
time being, forced to stand the denuncia
tions of the public against labor unions,
for they are in sad company, which has
brought disgrace upon the name of unions,
so there seems no way but for the decent
men to stand It until In some way they
can obtain control and make the old or
new unions which they may form lawful,
respectable and worthy of the esteem of
the public .
W are on record as being friends and
well wishers of the second ' class named,
and as thoroughly and unalterably opposed
to the law breakers, criminals and bullies
of the other class; so when union men de
nounce and revile us. It Is easy to deter
mine in which clase they belong.
The union men In the first class are gen
uine and undeniable anarchists, aliens and
outlaws.
Let us analyse and see.
When a strike occurs they picket plants,
threaten people, assault meiff dynamite
property, boycott and even murder; they
are criminals and opposed to all law. '
An anarchist Is one opposed to law.
When the poliqe or military are called in
to preserve the peace and protect the com
mon people, do-these men. welcome and up
hold themT They" do not,' but hasten to
"protest" and do all in ttielr power to re
move there, so they can carry out their
acts of violence and law breaking.
They favor no law but their own, and
thkt is the true hall mark of an anarchist
pure end simple.
Someone says we are harsh In our de
scription of these men. We are not re
sponsible for ' their character and acta
They do these things regardless of anyone,
and the only way the public can fairly
Judge them Is to know,the facta
It Is this class of union men who have
placed a boycott on our products. In try
ing to force us to Join their lawless ranks
and ruin some publishers, and they are
the ones who propose to punish Mr. Post
for fearlessly telling the facts about them
and their methods.
A msn with a family of children "to sup
port was kept out of work by a strike in
Chicago. The family would have starved
had he not obtained money to buy. them
bread. '
God Almighty has Instilled in the mind
of every man worthy the name a desire to
work and furnish bread and clothing for
his little ones, but In this case the labor
union said he must not. '
God's motive wae the strongest; e broke
the rules of tha union and went to work.
They caught him one evening on the
street, knocked him down ' with brass
knuckles, kicked him unconscious, then
pried his mouth open and poured carbolic
acid down his throat.
Another man who wss forced to work to
support his family was met. and the
strikers put their fingers In his eyes,
gouged one of them out until It hung on
his cheek. Are theee the only cases of
outrageT
Hundreds of acts equally Infamous are
repeated from day to day, daring strikes
conducted by lawless and criminal mem
bers of labor unions.
Decent people read with horror the tales
of distress; women attacked and some
times stripped on the street (St. Louis Bt.
car strike), woikmea blown to pieces with
dynamite, men assaulted, mobs formed,
millions of dollars worth of property de
stroyed, many lives lost and a general
reign of terror, disorder and anarchy con
ducLd by the labor trust In trying to force
the balance of mat kind to obey, without
question, the mandates of the leaders of
the unions.

WEEKLT. SI MM Alt V CROP CONDITIO"
Weather ftot So Favorable as Trevloas
Sevea Days.
WASHINGTON. Aug. . The weather
bureau's weekly summary of crop condi
tions Is as follows: ,
The weather condition during the week
ending August as a whole was less favor
able than in the previous week. The cen
tral and east gulf and Atlantic coast dis
tricts, except northern New Knglund, suf
fered from excessive rain, while drouthy
conditions in the central valleys nnd por
tions of the upper lake region have become
more serious. Generally sjillclent ralntall
has afforded relief In Texas. In Wiscon
sin. Minnesota and the Dakota the week
has been too cool. While Idaho, Washington
and Oregon have suffered from excessive
heat and dryness. Killing frost occurred
on the morning of the 8th In the cranberry
region of Wisconsin. .
In the Ohio valley com, the Ute planted
especially. Is suffering mora or less seri
ously from drouth, and rain is needed for
this crop In portions of the central MIs
slaslppl and lower Missouri valleys. Over
the central end western portions of the
corn belt corn has advanced favorably and
continues promising. In :he upper lake
districts lack of warmth and absence of
rain have checked growth, the crop being
generally backward. In the Atlantic d ast
districts corn has made vigorous growth
and generally Is In excellent condition.
Fine weather for threshing prevailed over
moet of the winter wheat belt, harvesling of
winter wheat having been completed in the
more northerly districts, except on the
north Pacific coast, where It Is nearly com
pleted. Reports of rust in spring whoat
continue general In the Dakotas and In
portions of Iowa and Minnesota and Indi
cate that the crop has been greatly dam
aged. Except In Minnesota, where only a
portion of the area ha been affected, a
good crop being promised in other portions
of that state. Harvesting is In progress In
South Dakota snd southern Minnesota,
but has not begun in North Dakota, where
the crop Is ripening slowly. Very high tem
peratures on the north Pnetrlc coast have
hastened maturity of spring wheat snd
caused premature ripening and shriveling"
of the grain In portions of Washington.
Harvesttng and threshing of oats have
continued under favorable conditions. Rust
is reported In the more northerly sections
and has proved very Injurious In North Da
kota and portions of Minnesota.

A. Darlow, advertising manager for the
Union Pacific, haa gone to Chloiigo.
J. O. Phllllppl, assistant general freight
agent of the Missouri Pacific, has gone to
Chicago.
Q. O. Yoemans, genera! purchasing agent
for the Burlington with headquarters la
Chicago, Is In Omaha..
such absolute disregard of the Uvea, prop
erty and liberty of cltlaens haa finally
aroused the people to a universal and not
to be ignored demand that these criminal
bullies bs restrained and forced to' obey
the law, and the unions that hafbor them
have forfeited the respect of the public.
The harm these criminals have brought
to the fair name of peaceable, honest labor
Is too great to be easily computed.
Such outrages to enslave the liberty of
the common and respectable American cltl
sen make the blood boll and surge. Many
of us had forbears that In 1776 shouldered'
the old flintlock, left their comfortable
homes for the' open camp, suffered from
cold, hunger and . exposure, wounds, dis
ease and even death, to preserve the sacred
heritage of liberty, and that same old
sturdy, fearless blood today calls for the
sons to again stand fast and oppose and.
crush the ugly spirit of tyranny and op
pression so plainly shown by these labor
unions.
There are things In tnla world dearer
than money or business.
We expend about a million dollars a year
with newspapers, most of which goes to
printers and other workmen. Probably
two million a year more are spread among
our work people, farmers and others.
Our factories cover many acres of ground
and the business furnishes the food and
clothing for nearly 1,000 human beings.
This act of the unions is openly for the
purpose of ruining the business and there
fore taking the livelihood from theee S.000
people whom God haa created and naturally
Intends shall be fed and clothed.
Our work people are paid high wages.
Those who have been with us one yeer
receive t per cent above regular wages, and
ths two-year and over veterans receive 10
per cent above the highest regular wages.
They are of necessity In the work clean
and capable. Moat of them own their
homes and are unusually thrifty, sober and
prosperous, the savings accounts in one of
the banks numbering above 1,460.
The agitators of the labor unions have
tried to Introduce their methods of strikes,
hatred, poverty and distress among our
people to replace the present conditions of
pease and prosperity, but thus far our peo
ple have been intelligent chough to decline
to make the exchange.
It Is these peaceable and reputable cltl
aens. living in content, who have done
harm to no one, whom these Labor Union
Anarchists propose to "ruin" and "put out
of business," along with the company.
Every Industry Is dependent upon the
public for Its existence, for unless the fac
tory produces articles of sufficient merit to
meet the need of the public, no business
can result. If a factory produces the very
highest grade of goods and a general
and effective boycott Is established that
prevents the public from buying such
products, the business must stopr
We have stated the facta herein, to the
truth of which we are ready to make oath.
If the great buying public decide to obey
the orders of the labor unions and refuse
to purchase our products, we have but one
thing to do go out of business snd let the
families dependent upon that business go
adrift and shift foe themselves. Such ruin
will carry down with It everything con
nected with the industry that has taken
years and millions of money to establish.
We csnnot sud will not Join the conspir
acy of thvee Isbor unions to ruin publish
ers. We cannot and will not discharge a single
one of our faithful and time-tried workmen
upon the orders of any labor union.
I'pon these prtncples we stand. If the
unions can make tift-lr boycott effective
and sink our ship, we will go down with
the captain cn the bn!e and In command.

LINCOLN, Aug. . (Special Telegram.)
The prohibition state convention, with WO
delegates present. In session here today,
nominated a state ticket, endorsed the na
tional ticket and platform and listened to
a number of enthusiastic speeches.
The most Interesting and unexpected fea
ture of the meeting was the. talk of Rev.
M. M. Parkhurst of Chicago, who called
down the preacher delegates for mixing In
politics. He began his speech by asking
how many preachers were delegates, and
when about one-third of the convention
arose he said they had no business there.
"Tou will gain little by taking an active
part In politics. I would rather you were
all laymen. Tou should get good business
men to take up the cause and do your work
through them." , '
He predicted the prohibition party would
be successful in electing a president when
a good business man was nominated but
that a preacher could never be elected.
The convention Ihsted all day and closed
with a Jubilee and rally tonight. F. W.
Emerson waa chairman.
The following ticket was nominated and
will make the race on a regular prohibition
platform:
Governor Clarence Bwanders, Richardson

RANCH COUSTlf ASSESSOR EXPLAINS
Oversight ia Certlfyiasj the Returas
to State Board.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Aug. . (Special.) County
Assessor Flaherty of Nance county came
to the city today to explain to the Stats
Board of Equalisation the discrepancy of
1430,366 In the valuation of his county. It
develops that the county board In equalis
ing decreased farm real estate and some
town property IS per cent. The county
assessor, In making out the abstract for
the guidance of the board, used the origi
nal figures returned to him by the deputy
assessors. These figures were footed up
In the office of the secretary of the board.
Under the statute, the, county assessors In
making out the atstt r cts are required to
return the figures as acted on by the
county boards of equalization.
The failure of Flaherty to make the
proper return led to the confusion of the
board. Just what liability he may have
incurred because of the mistake haa not
yet been decided by. the board. Tho result
of his mistake will reduce the revenue of
the state funds nearly $2.500. i Aa soon as
the members of the. beard i return to the
city the official will havea chance to ex
plain. It Is Intlmkted that the board has
the power to reconvene and raise the
valuation. There la some question as to
the right of the county board to meet and
make a borlxontal reduction in any class
of property after the manner employed by
the Nance county equalising body.

NORFOLK. Neb., Aug. 1. (Special) As
a result of the rough scenes during the last
night of the firemen's state tournament In
this city, O. E. Gogle, a young farmer from
Pierce county, lies at the point of death In
a Norfolk rooming house. He was mixed

he was walking was surrounded by a crowd
of celebrators, the young man protested
and the neat thing be knew he was in the
rooming house, two days after, with an
ugly hole In his head, a terrific headache
and prospects for death.
It la thought that when he offered pro
tection, to the young woman whom he was
escorting along the street one of tne gang
struck him, stretching the. Pierce county
farmer on the sidewalk. ' His brain ia af
fected seriously and surgeons fear the out
come. He is a nephew of Dr. Alden, the
Pierce county, legislator, and manages the
doctor's farm. He is not a drinking man.
The fellow who struck htm Is thought by
the police to be a member of one of the
running teams which was celebrating its
victory. The seme man. It is thought,
struck two other men on that night. M.
Kennedy, an old man of South Norfolk,
was struck by the stranger. Gogle can re
call nothing of the Incident.
