HIS OPPOSITION DEVILIsH.
How the Screws Were Put to tho
Typographical Union.

CHICAGO, Ill. Nov. dear Sirs: White
law Reid is the enemy of every man who
works for u living without regard as to
whether that workman IS a member OF q
labor union or not. His every act since the
time that he became an employer or men
emphasizes this statement.
USecond-He is not safe man In any oul-
cial position in a republic. He is entirely
away from and out OF touch with the greas
masses OF the people; and his elevation to
the vice presldency--posslDly lhe presidency
would be- humiliating TO every cOmmoner,
insulting to American intelligence, and
declaration that trade organizations for the
protection of common interest is treason.
Third-Every trade unionist who can b6
brought TO consider this question Without
prejudice, and wholly disassociated with his
political belief can but see the Inconsistency
or supporting Mr. Reid for his Office.
Prudence forbids our furnishing the enemy
with weapons for our determination.
Fourth-FOr many years REID mas been rec
ognized as an enemy of honest labor; persis-
tent aud almost devilish in his opposition TO
our every effort to lift up, broaden and bet:
ter trades union citizenship. His stupid

gogy and deliberate misrepresentation, "a

him or his associates on the Republican
ticket.

ALWAYS OPPOSED LABOR.
An Indiana Man Takes Turn at
Outlaw Reid.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 29.-Dear Sirs: Reply
ing to yours of yesterday, permit me to say
WhitelaW Reid since his succession to the
management OF the New York Tribune has
been antagonistic to organized labor, not only
in his relations to the typographical union,
but every other organized trade whose con.
fiicts attracted national attention. The South
western railway strike tue great eight.hour
demand are readily recalled The Tribune
files will give evidence.
President Harrison has given evidence, by
service on the field Of battle, of his devotion
to the countrys interests; but Whitelaw
Reid-his whole effort has been directed
against organized labor, and, as that interest
involves the nations welfare, he Is an enemy
OF his country.
IL WhiteIaw Reid had failed of nomination
at Minneapolis the Tribune today would be
s'rat'' paper. The man who changes front
on the Question Of unionism only when he
has g favor to ask OF organized labor, and
that favor involves great possibilities. is not
safe support to tie to.
Fifth do not. Take the case of German,
for instance, who is supposed TO represent in
the Democratic party about all that is repre-
hensiDle in the Republican party, l. e., the
protected or favored interests He is not Tin
IT. any more than Randall In his day and
generation. The Democratic party Is not
built that way.
sixth-Necessity, would say, rather than
Indifference Every one recalls the Incl
tion Interests demanded the defeat Of Judge
Gresham. and named the successful man,
The fact that Chaunoey Depew aud others Of
-btsx.ss So are today putting forth the greatest
possible efforts in his behalf Is sufficient evil
deRee. itseems TO me, that Mr.. Harrison has
notyet DISCHARGED the debt incurred at Chi
cage and emphasized at Minneapolis,
sevsnth-Most assuredly. If Mr. Reid or
any other man with his record were on the
Democratic ticket, would vote against him.
Respectfully, T. NJ. GRUELLE,
President Indiana Federation of Trade and
Labor Unions.

Reid mentioned among union men but that

been a lifelong enemy of organized labor

position at all times. The first united effort
of organized labor to secure recognition

he was known them was made eight years
ago, when James G. Blaine was the standard
bearer Of the Republican party. The
ply because Mr. Reid had no personal

well-knoWn newspaper correspondent, TO use
his influence In bringing about meeting

HIS RECORD WHOLLY BAD.
Whitelaw Reid's Attitude Uni
forniy Against Wage Farmers,

BosToN, Mass Oct. 31.-Dear Sir: The
nomination of Whitelaw Reid for the vice
presidency is but typical Illustration of the
diversity Of the professions and pretenses of
the Republican party in its attitude toward
the wage carriers of the country. Mr. Reid
has been conspicuous for many years as an
inveterate and implacable opponent OF or
ganzed labor. Not ouly has the business
policy of the New York Tribune been TO ig
more the right of labor 10 organize, but pos
sibly there is no other one employer Of
Ia Dor in the country who has so freely
and deliberately violated his agreement with
his employees as Whitelaw Reid. There is
nothing in his entire record that recommends
him 10 the suffrage of wage earners. II con-
sistant in its professions OF protection TO
American labor, the Republican party could
have done no less than to have nominated can
didates who are not openly hostile to the de-
sire and ASPIRATIONS of the trades unionists
of the land. That 1t saw fit to select for the
second highest Office in the gift Of its people
q man as its candidate who has constantly
and persistently endeavored to break down
the true protection given by the organiza-
ton Of labor Is significant in more ways than
! one Whether this nomination was inspired
by definite purpose to insult labor organi-
cations, or whether It was the result of gross
ignorance is something which must prob
ably always be confined in the mysterious
receptacle known as the conscience OF the
Republican party. | am inclined TO believe,
however lAab Lnls QeternludllOu WAS more
largely the result Of ignorance than Of will
fulness.
tits true that Mr. Reid, under the stress of
political necessity, entered into an agree
ment with the typographical union and
this agreement now obtains in the com.
posing room Of The Tribune. This settle
ment Ia, however, SO distinctly a th-bed
conversion that 1t will be rated at its full
zero value by those conyersant with the
facts in the case. Just how far the Repub-
lican wage earners Of the country are pre-
pared to swallow the bitter pin Of the en-
ployer Of the rat" labor. coated with the
sophistry of the protection theory is
uncertain. There is every evidence to be-
lieye that Whitelaw Reid will be the cause
of the loss Of hundreds of thousands of votes
to the Republican national ticket in the in
dustria ceuters Of the conntgy. A result
less significant than this would imply that
the wage earners are less tenacious than
believe them to be Of the principles inherent
in trade unionism. Very truly yours,

Whitelaw Reid a Shining Light
in SnobOCracy

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. dear sir-In an
swer to your communication regarding the
candidacy of Whitelaw Reid. would reply
as follows: Whiteiaw Reid is a shining light
in American snobocracy. AS his wealth has
increased SO has his contempt and hatred Of
the workingmen employed in his establish
ment. Naturally devoid Of any sympathy
with organized labor, his associations, en-
vironments and political training have de-
veloped in him an intense hatred of trade
unionlsm, which he has taken small pains to
disguise. This feeling is reciprocated by the
union men throughout the country, and
Whitelaw Reid for years has been tauntingly
referred to as the big rat" not only by
printers, but by organized workmen every
where. His paper, the New York Tribune,
has gone out of its way to defeat or embar-
rass organized labor in its efforts to secure
that to which it is Justly entitled.
The 100000 organized Workmen Of the
United States consider the nomination of
Whitelaw Reid premeditated insult and
will treat 1t as such on Nov. s. No self
respecting union man can vote for any ticket
on which his name appears. Yours,

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Gentlemen: Whitelaw
Reid has always been opposed to labor unions,
and for years the New York Tribune has
been a non-union paper Mr.. Reid steadily
refused to employ union printers or to have
anything TO do with organized workmen. If
by any accident Mr.. REID should become
president of the United States, labor people
and labor measures would be deSpised by
him. He would be very bitter enemy on
all occasions. No true member of any union,
no matter what his politics, should vote for
Whitelaw Reid. In fact no trade unionist
can vote for such man and be consistent
with his union principles For years labor
unions have been united in their opposition
to Wbitelaw Reid and his methods His
shameless attempt to unfoniZe his Office
when he obtained the nomination for vice
president will not fool any intelligent man.
am not of the opinion that the nominal
ton Of Reid was a deliberate insult to organ
lied labor, but rather a thoughtless insult
The party Of which Mr.. Reid is a represen-
tative does not realize that there are any
labor people worthy of their consideration
Such man as WhftelaW Reid could not be
nominated by Democratic convention
The Democratic party has too much regard
for the working people to ask them to vote
for such man. Very truly yours,

Second-Do you consider Whtelaw Reid a

possibility of his accession to the presidency?
Third-Should the nomination of Whitelaw

the trade organization. and if so. why?
Fourth-Is it not fact that for years
Whitelaw Reid has been generally recognized
as the inveterate and implacabe foe of trade
unionism? If this be SO, has anything re-
Gently occurred to change the estimate in
which he is held by the organized workmen

Fifth-Do you think the nomination OF
such a man as Whitelaw Reid would be pos
sible in a national Democratic convention?
Slxth-Was the nomination OF Whitelaw
Reid by the Republican convention a DELHI
crate attempt of insult against labor, or was
1t the result of ignorance or indifference on
the part of the Republican managersY
seyenth-Do you consider the nomination
of Whitelaw Reid mistake serious enough
to warrant Republican trade union men in
their refusa! 10 give their support to any
ticket on which the name of Whitelaw Reid
appears?
