 It would be hard to find a factory in the center of population of the United States that the majority of the workers are not for Lawson.
 Now workers, who is your best friend, the tout of the financier who orders you to fight, maim and kill one another or Lawson, who says, “Workers must not harm workers.”
 Listen, you workers, the touts of the financiers who contro] your labor organizations are preparing to run you into blind alleys before long. They are going to furnish you with clubs and bricks to throw at one another and then they will trot out the soldiers with guns and bayonets to mow you down by the millions.
 That is their aim when the most suitable time arrives after one group of financiers whips all other groups of financiers into complete submission and are ready to put into America their own dictator as they have already done in Europe. I learned that was the plan when I did business with them years ago.
 The financiers know that I have been warning the people of their intentions for several years back but they think that the people haven’t enough sense to understand it.
 And you manufacturers think that you are smart. The touts of the financiers have led you into blind alleys during the last ten years to the extent of your loss of more than 200,000 factories and you are too blind to foresee that they are going to take all of your factories away from you before they get through with you.
 Those fellows who lost the 200,000 factories used to pay fees and dues into manufacturers associations and were too blind to see that those associations were run by touts of the financiers. You fellows who still think that you own factories will understand my language better after you have lost them.
 But remember that I told you beforehand that through their control of the Labor organizations the financiers are going to call strike after strike upon you until you are finally forced to stagger out of the industrial arena beaten beyond recognition.
 These same financial swindlers have put out of existence more than 6,000,000 merchants during the past ten years who were formerly good fees and dues paying members of their different merchants associations. They are still plucking them off a thousand at a time because the foolish fellows won't listen to Lawson's friendly advice until it is too late to save them.
 The same thing happens to farmers and professionals. They won’t listen to reason until it is too late.
 You fellows will all be swearing like preachers out of employment some day.
 Which reminds me of a deacon of the old days who did his swearing in prefixes and affixes. He would mill-dam this and mill-dam that at the least provocation.
 So he was asked if it was not swearing to mill-dam things that way, and his answer was. “Not by a dam-site.”
 So don’t mill-dam anybody by a dam-site
