gent citizens who. with reason , prefer .
not to join any labor union nnde \

Upon n firm refusal by Mr. Post to
join this criminal conspiracy n. gen.
oral bo 'eott was ordered on Grape-
Nuts and Postum all ever the coun.

our ancestors In motion , bringing

This sot the writers in labor papers
crazy and the ) ' redoubled tholr abuse.
Finally ono of tholr officln.l organa
came out with a largo double column
In denunciation of Battle Creele , cnll-
Ing It ua running sere on the face of
l\Uchigan , " because It would note \ -
como "organized" and pay In dues to
their labor leaders. The usual coarse ,
vlllninous epllhets common to la\or \
union writers were Indulged in.
'I'ho result was to weld public sentiment -
timent In Battle Creele for protoctlon.
A cltlzons' assoclntlon was started ,
and mnss moetlngs held. Good citizens -
zens who IInpPl'ned to bo members of
local unions , In some cases quit the
unions entirely for there Is small need
of them there.
The working people of Battle Creek
are of the highest order of American
mechnnlcs. The majority are not
union members , for practically aU of
the manufacturers have for yenrs do-
cllned to employ union men \ecause \
of disturbances about elev < 'n ) 'ears

No city In the state of Michigan
pa's as high average wnges as Battle
Creole , no city of Its size is as pros.
perous , and no city has so largo a pro-
lOrtion of the best grallo of mechanics
who own their own homos.
So the worle people mnssed together
with the ot.her citizens of the organl.
zatlon of the Cltlzons' Ass'n with the
following preamble and constitution :
Whereas , From 1Sn to 189,1 the
strlhes Instlgatod by labor unions in
Bnttlo Creek resulted In the destruc"
tlon of property and loss' of large
sums of money In wages that would
have been expended here ; and.
' \Vhereas , 'I'heso ncts caused serious
dnmage to the city and In a marleet
way doln'ed its progress at that time ;
and ,
Whereas , Since the ) 'ear 1894 the
citizens have been enabled , by pU\lIc \
sentiment , to prevent the recurrence
of strl1tes and labor union disturbances -

they could bo guaranteed protection.
The sUbject grew In Importance un-
tll It has reached a. place where absolute -
lute protection cnn bo guaranteed 1)y
the citizens of Bnttlo Creele on the
following broad and evenly balnnC'ed
terms which guarantees to the work-
mnn and to the manufacturer fairness -
ness , justlco , steady worle and regularity -
ity of output.
The newcomlng manufacturer
agrees to malntnln the standard rate
of wage paid elsewhere for lIlco servIce -
Ice , under simIlar conditions , the rate
to bo detormlned from tlm to tlmo
from well authenticated reports from
competing cities. The tabulnted wngo
reports Issued by the Government
> Department of Commerce and Labor
can also be used to show the standard
mte , and It is expected later on thnt
this government bureau wUl furnish
woelc1y repol'tl : of the labor marleet
from different centers , so thnt the
worleman when ho Is ready to seU his
la\or \ uud tbo emplorer wh l1 ho Is
ready to buy , mny each have reliable
Information as to the market or ruling
price.
'l'ho newcomlng manufacturer also
agrees to malntnln the snnltary and
h'glonlc conditions provided for by
tbo state laws and to retrain from any
lockouts to reduce wngos below the
sta.ndard , reserving to himsolt the
right to dlschargo any employo for
causo.
'I'ho CItizens' Association on Its part
agrees to furnish , in such numbers as
It is posslblo to oMaln , first-class
workmen who wUl contract to sell
their labor at the standard prIce for
such period as may be fixed upon ,
agreolng not to strlle , plclcot , assnult
other workmen , destroy property , or
do any at the , criminal acts commo
to labor unionism , Each workman rt-
serving to h mso1f the right to quit
worle for cause , and tbo Citizens' Association -
sociation further pledges Its members -
bers to use Its associated power to
enforce the contracts between employer -
ployor and omploye , nnd to act en
masse to uphold the law at aU times.
The new Industri'3s locating in Battle -
tle Creele w111 not start under any sort
of labor union domination whatsoever -
ever , but wfll make IndIvidual con.
tracts with each emplo'o , these contracts -
tracts bolng fall' and oqultable and
Ullra.nteed on both sides.
Thus from the abuaes of Inbor
unions and tholr Insane efforts to ruin
everyone who docs not "obey" has
evolved this plan which replaces the
old condtUonB of Injustice , lockouts ,
strikes , vl01enco , loss of money and
property , nnd general industrial war-
tare , and Inaugurates an era of perfect
\alance \ and fnlrness bet.ween em.
plo'er and employe , n steady contlnu.

perity. The entlro community pledged .
by publ1c sentiment and prlvato act to

Identification.
The publ1c should remember that
there are , a few labor unions conducted
on peuceful lines nnd In proportion as
they are 7.-orthy , they have won es.
teem , for wo , as It people , are stron I1
In sympnthy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions ' I
for wage workers. Dut we do not lor-
got that wo seek the good of all and
not these a.lone who belong to some
organization , whereas even the law-
abiding unions show undeniable evidences -
dences of tyrnnny and oppression when
they are Btrong enough , whllo many
of the unions harbor and encourage
crIminals In tholr efforts to force n.
yoke ot slavery upon the AmerIcan
people. As a publ1c speaker lately
said : "Tho arrognnco of the Engl1E1h
King that roused the fiery eloquence
of Otis , that Inspired the Immortal
declaration of Jotrerson , that left 'War-
ren dying on the slopes of Bunker
1-1111 , was not more outmgeous than
the condItions that II. closed shop
would force upon the community.
These men burst Into rebelllon 'when
the Icing dId but touch tholr pockets. '
Imnglne If you can their Indignant protest -
test had ho sought to prohIbit or

the conditions under which the ) ' .
should enrn their I1vel1hooi , " and to
assnult , boat and murder them , \Iow \
up their houses and polson their food
if they did not su\mlt. \
The publ1c should also remember
that good , true American citizens can
bo found in the unions and that they
depr cato the criminal acts of theIr
fellow members , but they are often In
bad company.
Salt o'1ly hurts sere spots. So , the
honest , law-abiding union man Is not
hurt when the crIminals are denounced - . . .
nounced , but when 'ou hear a union I '
man "holler" because the facts are
made publ1o , he has \randed \ himself
as either one of the lawbreakers or
II. s-mpathlzer , and therefore with the
mind of the lawbrenleor , and lIIeely to
become ono when opport.unlty offers.
'l'hat is ono reason employers decl1no
to hire such men.
