finally collided, men and women Jumped
frantically to the street, and many were
hurt In this effort to escape. The cars
csme together wfth terrific force and all
three were splintered.

It has been a struggle to get before the !
people the dangerous facts, the hidden un
derground facts, relating to tho plans for
control of the liberties and affairs of the
common cltiiena by the adroit managers of
Die huge "Labor Trust" known as the
American Federation of Labor.
These managers are Reeking power even
superior to thnt of the President of the
1 'tilted States.
"Nonsense," someone says. Well, let's
have a look.
When I first started publishing these
articles discussing , labor matters, nearly
tho entire list of papers published them,
but there were a few afraid to print them
allho offered full pay.
Afrnld the labor leaders would boycott
them, afraid the unions In their own
printing department would strike and
afraid on general principles.
Here was a sample of the, "muzzled
press'' the subtle enemy of the common
people.
Fair I nlon Men
To the credit of the typographical union
let It be said the majority of Its members
are too Intelligent to refuse to set type on
either side Iji discussion of a principle,
icullzing that the columns of a newspaper
must bo unhampered.
However, In some offices, less wisdom
us shown and the papers refused to print
t.i'j dleeusiflon.
In one article I invited readers to scan
trie pases of various papers of that date
and If the announcement failed to appear,
wrilo and ask the publisher "why."
Him only good excuse would be "no con
tia;l with Post." Hut when he got angry
a nrl tcgan tn offer vurioua and sundry
ul!r te'sons. It became plain to tho en
( tiiitr thnt II was left out throush tillable
ll nr.
The dlKcovciy by readers that a favorite
tivrvspapi-r feared to print matter written
for un.l In he interest of the thirty-nine
citli.ens out of every forty, (only one union
man In ' every forty citizens) produced
u disgust and distrust hard to overcome.
When tho rights of the common people
cumin be defended In the newspapers
It-cause of fear of some organisation,
cither of capital or labor, the enslavement
of cllUtiiis has reached a dangerous point,
mid tho papers which refuse to stand
fur the rights and freedom of the gnat
leading and thinking public, shouid bo
Known and rebuked by the public they
ought to serve.
Those readers ' who would like to have
primed tha names of a few papers and
public servants who have been lax In sup
port of the rights of the people when as
sailed by class organizations are Invited
to make known their wishes by muil ad
dressed to the undersigned.
Have You Noticed
Reader, how adroitly the Leaders of
the Labor Trust work to gain more and
more control over the liberties of the
people 7
Do you realize they are aiming at ab
solute domination of the dally affairs of
citizens?
Do you think It would be safe to allow
yourself to bo gradually tied hand and
foot until your Inherited freedom and
liberty wu taken from you? Have a
look at their methods and draw your own
lonclusjons,
Threats are made to city, county, atato
and national officers and public men either
of defeat or violence for Judgea and Ju
lore snd the number of citizens assaulted
or murdered and property destroyed In an
Bctlve Labor Trust year exceeds by far
the amount of violence which ever oc
curred In any one year during pro-slavery
days. The black man was not his iyn
master. The present day union man Is not.
Jle must quit when the Iabor Trust leader
"orde.s." Involuntary Idleness Is no less
deplorable thnn Involuntary servitude.
The disobedient black men waa at times
driven with a whip, back to his work.
Tho disobedient "union" man has. In thou
tands of cases, been driven away from his
work, with clubs, missiles, revolvers anil
knives; assaulted, slugged unconscious,
m:ilmd for life, or murdered. Or perhaps
his steps dogged tor weeks, he and hli
family subjected to Insults innumerable,
homes destroyed and property blown up.
The moat damnable cruelty and b-utatity
that hate could devise and ruffian outlaws
execute has been put upon American work
men, who have dared to disobey the
"orders" of the Labor Trust leaders.
There were abova B.000 cltliens assaulled
In one city (Chicago) during one strike
(the teamsters) and many men crippled
for life. Soma 12 or M wer. wilfully mur
dered outright, and yet there have been
but few convictions and trifling If iny
punishment.
. I'nrle, Hain't Wsjr
If only ten Americana had been slugged
Itnd maimed and one killed In a foreign
port, ample apology would have been made
and ample funds exacted for the support
of the Injured families, at the muuUi of
I'ncle Pain's U-lnch guns, or some people
and soma things would have been blown
off the face of the earth. But 5.009 citizens
Injured, with a schedule of rewards for
broken leg. rlL and. arms and so much
for eyes gouged out, paid by members of
the Labor Trust la passed with but slight
comment an absolutely not one cent of
contribution or support for the destitute
famlliea of ths lctiras.
It hat been Botkd that when union
criminals sr. on trial for murdering nf
lndent wtrklngman. they acmetlmea bring
Ui tfeclr wives aud mothers. and have thclr
chlldren clamber about their knees to im
press the Jury with sympathy. So much
for the brutal murderer, but who brings
Into court the destitute, fatherless children
of the poor workman murdered In cold
blood because he obeyed the Instincts of
an Almighty Father, who impelled him to
seek Work to fefcd his little oraes? What
play Is ever made by them to sway a
Jury? The murderer Is supported by the
funds of the Labor Trust. The orphans of
the victim have no money to help them
obtain Justice.
Impudent Pretrnse
The Labor Trust leaders proclaim peace
ful intent and publicly decry violence. Such
barefaced assertions as that of tho presi
dent of the American Federation of Labor
that "Organized labor Is one of the most
potent factors for the preservation of
peace," Is only Interesting as sn Illustra
tion of the extreme Impudence of these
leaders with a most terrible record of
criminal procedure behind them. It lately
became public that this trust expended up
wards of 1150,000 to defend its members In
the Haywood-Moyer trial, securing acquit
tal by a frightened Jury, notwithstanding
the fnct that the Judge who presided at
the trial announced afterward that the
testimony implicating the members of the
Labor Trust In the deeds of violence was
In his opinion true.
The Labor Trust shouts for the public
ear, and winks In another direction whlla
It finds It necessary to rush to the support
of Its criminal members, In ctder to "keep
up the work."
Without certainty of protection the slug
ger would quickly become discouraged. The
victim of the Labor Trust dare not pub
licly protest even If he lives through the
entertainment by the "er.tertalnniont com
mittee," end the wives, widows and chil
dren have no way to bring their wrongs to
the public ear. The poorhouse may take
care of some and the streets of some, but
the suffering, terror and agony put upon
the children, wives and widows of Inde
pendent worklr.gmen is known only to
themselves and their God and no one
seems to have the humanity or bravery to
speak in their defense.
Thousands of individual members of
organized labor have hearts as tender as
can be found In all human nature but
they seem powerless In the Iron grasp
of Impudent and desperate tyrants who
hold them bound and who extort from
them not only money, but "obedience"
and bring reproach on ths very name
of Labor.
has been as free from mistake. Humanity
is prone to weakness and error, and our
courts are human, but fortunately for man
kind we find less error and weakness In
the handling of restraining orders or "In
junctions in labor cases than In any
other department of legal procedure, and
the most remarkable fact in all this antl
Injunction agitation la that thus far not one
"ingle case has been shown where an 1nn
cent man has been harmed.
Honest Vnion Men Helpless
Let an honest union man raise his
voice In protest at a union meeting and
the "men of violent tendencies" cry him
down with shout! to "throw dat guy out
the window" and If he don't shut up he
may expect to be violently and effect
ively shut up. Some day let us hope that
organized labor will get rid of the pres
ent leaders and conduct the sale of Its
product (labor) in the peaceful, legal
manner of business men who sell the or
dinary products of humanity, and when
they cannot sell their labor at a satis
factory price to one man, do as the far
mer does, offer his wheat to another
buyer and either sells it at the highest
price the market will warrant or keeps It
for a higher market, but does not picket
the mill, assault other farmera who pre
fer to sell their wheat, or blow up the
mill whose owner cannot at that time
buy at the price asked.
The man who has saved money with
which to purchase wheat or labor should
not be maimed, murdered or his property
destroyed because he does not feel like
parting with that money to buy wheat
or labor when he either does not want It
or knows the price to be too high to war
rant Its purchase. Any attempt at coer
cion should be promptly and effectively
punished by the courts and the bullies
put where they cannot tyrannize over In
dependent Americans.
This rapid growth of anarchy and evi
dent purpose of the Labor Trust to dictate
Just what persons shall be employed, how
long and at what price and how much
pay to the managera has taught every
nian who has saved a dollar and wants
to build a house or establish a factory
that he had better keep his money In some
safe Investment, Instead of going Into
something where he would be actually
forced to buy labor when not needed and
to employ men he don't want.
In other words the man who has a little
money to Invest don't propose to have
truat, even the Labor Trust tell him how
or where to pay it out. This widespread at
tack of the I-abor Trust on citizens who
would have money to Invest In labor If al
lowed to Invest peaceably, has been one
of the strongest elements which brought
on the panic.
Men who have money to build, don't
like to be . harassed to death by con
tlnued delays by labor union tangles,
therefore hundreds of them don't build.
So with new factories and other enter
prises. Between the luud mouthed political dema
gogues and the Labor Trust leaders, th
steady attacks on Industries dried them
up and the panic came bringing Idlenesa
and misery to thousands.
The demand by the Labor Trust leaders
for an antl Injunction law. Is quite' In
keeping with the purposes of the tyran
nous leaders. A careful Investigation of
the records of all Federal courts for the
past I years discloses the fact that only
JO Injunctions have Issued In labor disputes
and In not one of these caaea has the su
perior court reversed or falld to approve.
No other subject handled by our courts

APPEAL GOES OUT IN HIS BEHALF
Homes for 'Waifs.
TECVMSEH, Neb., Oct. 19. (Speclil.)
Ten of twelve New York orphans were pro
vlded with good homes In this county, near
tho town of Sterling, In one day recently
J. W. Swan of University Place and Miss
Elmira Hill of New York, with the children
In charge came to Sterling, where the
prospective foster parents had the oppor
tunny to come ana ' take their pick as
it were.
The parties to adopt the children are
without exception good, substantial citizens
of the town of Sterling and the northern
part of tho county. Some of them are the
parents of children which have grown up
and left home. The waifs have been for
tunate In falling into good hands.
What Ara Injunctions!
w, wnat is an injunction?" someone
asks. When It becomes known that tho
trust leaders plan to hav. their sluggers
waylay other workmen and assault them,
or picket and spit on and Insult or attack
American citizens going to or coming from
work, or plan to destroy soma machinery
blow up a factory, mine or workman'
home or do any other act of violence or
crime the courts established by the people
and for their protection can issue a "re
straining order" or "Injunction" ordering
these men not to do the acts they Intend
until the court oan have time to inquire
Into the rights In the case.
Every man with his mind set on revenge
or violence and every single Inmate of
every penitentiary In this country hates
court Injunction like a mad dog hates
water.
What does the man who fears an In
Junction have in his mind?
Do you believe lie is seeking peace?
No citizen who was at home or on the
street on a peaceful, lawful mission has
ever been troubled by a court order to
prevent men from attacking property or
persons. It , has been common for labor
leaders (?) and a few politicians to say
that courts have "abused" the right to lS'
sue Injunctions In labor cases. After
careful search of the records Hon. Charles
E. Llttlefleld made open request of Presl
dent Roosevelt to cite one single Injunc
tlon wherein peace-Intending citizens had
been harmed and our estimable president
was put In the embarrassing position
having stated that "abuses had arisen.
because some Interested person had so told
him, but on demand for the cases they
could not be produced.
Thousand Dollar Re vf a ill
I now again offer Jl.OOO.oo In cash fo
evidence of a single cs.se In the past five
years of labor disputes whero court in
Junctions to protect persons and property
have not been opposed to the public good
No person can produce one. Why there
fore, should the Labor Trust leaders so
strenuously demand that the courts be
stripped of the right to Issue injunction
to protect people and property.
These leaders want to be free to orde
the sluggers to proceed with their work
and their dynamiters to blow up homes
or property before the courts can Inter
vene to protect. That's exactly what is
meant by the proposal to prevent any
court from Issuing a restraining order
without five to seven day's notice. That
would give time to the Intending
criminals to do their work and get Into
hiding before the court can protect those
whom the sluggers Intend to harm. The
Independent workingmsn's home could thus
be blown up and he taught the danger
of disobedience of "orders" of the Labor
Trust
It's a pitable condition, that of the work
lngmen, both union and nonunion when
they dare disobey any Iabor Trust mana
gers order however Inprudent or tyrannous.
Shall we nourish the further gTOwth
of such power centered In the hand of a
few misnamed "I-abor leaders" now seek
ing to tell Union men that they must vote
for the party pledged to enact any law
these trust leaders ask looking to more
power, if they will "deliver the labor vote?"
Trade on Labor Vote.
That trade was a humiliating Insult to
every llberty-lovlng workman In America
and they are quite Justified In the general
resentment against It.
The political managers of both great par
ties wish "Post would keep still." "He
talks too plala." "He dont know any more
about politics than a rabbit." But amidst
all the word twisting, pretense, cowardice,
slde-Btepptng and boot-llcklng of politics
before a national campaign It Is refreshing
to take a few long, deep breaths, wipe the
cobwebs out of one's eyes and take a good,
keen, close look at exact facts.
Poet as President of tho National Citi
zens' Industrial association has a duty to
perform without fear or favor of any po
lltlcal party or class organization either of
Capital or I-abor, and when these facta are
placed before the :0 to 30 million readers lof
-his article and they realize the danger to
heir properties and personal liberties by
ollng for class legislation and privilege,
hat duty will have been don. It may In
errst you to know that Post waa lately
lected an Honorary member of one of the
highest grade Trade Unions In America,
the National Association of Stationary En
gineers, In recognition of his services In
trying to stamp out the criminal and tyran
nous control of affairs by the present mis
named Labor Leaders (?) and to bring ths
labor movement to a more peaceful and
lawful management and therefore back to
the respect and esteem of ths public and
wipe from the sacred name of "Labor" the
odium and dlsgrscs these trust leaders have
smeared upon It. A better time Is coming
and every honest American can do his part
to bring It about.

Board. Calls an All Fellow
Optouietrlsts to Pall for
Sheldon.
J. C. Hutescn. secretary of the Nebraska
Board of Optometry, has sent letters to
veiy optician and optometrist In the state
oldlng a certificate from the board caii-
ng attention to the support which Governor
Sheldon gave bills and the encouragement
which he gnvo measures that have placed
the profession on a safe basis and relieved
them from the onslaughts of fakirs and
spectacle peddlers."
The requirements of the Nebraska law
are such that every vlllnge loafer cannot
'fit glasses" and tamper with the eyesight
of unsuspecting hundreds and the secretary
of the board, who Is Intimate with the
workings of the law, gives the governor
due credit for his work, urging the nptcme
trifls to give Governor Sheldon their sup
port and uphold his hnnds In securing
measures which were opposed by a demo
crat In the last session of the legislature.
Mr. Huteson calls attention to the fact
that some other governors had vetoed the
optometry bills, but Governor Sheldon
signed the Nebraska bill In the face of
considerable opposition.
Owe Debt to the Governor.
A part of the letter follows:
"We should all feel proud of the stand
ard to which Governor Sheldon has raised
optometry.
'Every optometrist In the state should
stand loyally by him and not only vote
for him at the coming election, but use
every Influence possible in having your
friends vote for him.
Our law will need some amendments at
the next session of the legislature and In
Governor Sheldon we have a man who has
proved himself friendly to optometry.
"Remember, too, that the legislature that
passed the optometry bill was a republican
house and a republican senate. The only
voice raised against our bill was a lonw
democrat.
"No matter what your political faith Is
you should do all In your power for the re
election of Governor Sheldon and a repub
lican house and senate. Optometry will
need both this winter. Oct busy for Sheldon."

SCHOOL MEN MAKE ADDRESSES
Superintendent Davidson and Prin
cipal Graff Speak Sunday
, at Y. M. C. A.
"The crying need In the business world
is the qualities that make men. Honesty,
energy, tact, application, punctuality and
many other qualities are what employers
say their men lack in too many cases, and
If a man has these the world Is waiting
for him with open arms."
This was the Idea Principal Ellis U.
Graff of the Omaha High school expressed
In an address to men at the Young Men's
Christian association Sunday afternoon. His
subject was "Character and Character
istlcs."
"Modern Institutions of learning are top

of processes Is the secret of character cul

must practice these characteristics until
they are cultivated. The mere desire Is
all right, but It Is not sufficient. Go to
work on the characteristic you want. If
man wants to be benevolent he must be
It till It sticks to him and is a part of
him."
Taking humility as a characteristic held
up by Christ, Franklin and 8hakespeare as
one to be praised. Principal Graff asked
the question, "Does this quality suit tho
Twentieth century?" snd then In a strong
argument showed that although meekness
Is apparently left out of the present day
category of graces It is essential to the
highest realization of character.
Taking the enumeration of the king-be
coming qualities found in the third act of
Macbeth, the speaker stated that after a
careful study of famous historic characters
by one of his classes In English literature
It was found that only one man aside from
Christ measured up to the standards of
Shakespeare, and that man was Abraham

"What is It that makes men great? Is It
