renee on your part in my personal sf-
fairs is, to say the least, quite gratui-

Gould tells Powderly that any at
tempt to connect him personally with
the late strikes on the southwestern
roads or any responsibility therefor is
equally gratuitous. Although he was

attack upon this company, not hest.
tated to disable it by violence from

ance of the public, and found in this
direction cause to hesitate. YOU nov

In this, as | have said, the real issue is
between you and the laws Of the land
1t may be before you are through these
laws will efficiently advise you that
even !, as an individual citizen, am not
hey ond their care. Very respectfully,
