Dabs in various localities. A few days
400 those at Montgomery sent letter
Of disapproval to the officials and those
at Lakeland Fla, have also given ex-
nression to their ideas on the question.
Here is what they had in the Lake Region
Sun about the matter: THE Plant sys-
tenn employees at Lakeland, Fla, come
10 the front and renounce Eugene Y.
Debs and the American Railway Union.
We wish 1t understood by the management
Of the Plant system and all other rail-
roads and corporations and the public in
general
American Railway Union, and that we are
not in sympathy with Eugene V. Dehs
or the American Railway Union, or any
other order that is antagonistic to the
system, that we are working for. We are
working in perfect harmony with the
officials of the system and
our greatest desire is to do
our duty and give satisfaction to the man
agement. We hope by our good work
and loyalty to the management that the
business on the sytem will increase so
that the management can pay us our hire
in the future, as they have so promptly
done in the past. We have no kick COM
ing and no grievance, and we advise Eu-
gene V. Debs to keep his agents and co.
workers away from the Plant system, as
we do not need them in our business. We
are all satisfied with the management we
are working for, and harmony prevails,
and we do not want any scalaWagS 10
