From Journeymen Horseshoers.

Editor Times: We. the undersigned eXecu-
tive board Of the Journeymen Horseshoers
Local Union, No. H. wish 10 correct the
statement that appeared In the Evening
Star, october 2T, under the heading Of
the Central Labor Union, wherein they
style themselves members OF the Boss
HorscShoers' Union OF the District OF Co
lumbia. We. the Journ.ymen HprscShoers
of the District OF Columbia, recognize no
such association.
There is an organization of Boss Horse.
shoerS, each and every one of whom hire
a journeyman. That organization. only.
we recognize. The so-callcd protesting
bosses, the journe eymeH claim, are detri-
ment to them. They have no regular prices
nor regular hours. both of which they
claimed for themselves when they We're
journeymen. Now, then, let them be as
honest and sincere as young bosses as they
were IS old journc ymen. Then. again. they
claim there is n conspiracy between the
iourneymen and the old bosses. This con-
spiracy We deny, for no such thing exists
We claim that in order FOR a shop to be
recognized as union shop it must employ
a journeyman. otherwise il is regarded
by us as non-unon. Let the young bosses
ask themselves this question and they can
agree with us. for they We're journe ymen
once and they fully understand 1t.
Labor Union to take action on the So
called outrage. There is no outrage. II
comes the other way. The Central Labor
Union is only side issue in this case, as
we have in our possession a letter from
President Gompers, OF the American FEEDER.
alton, that no charter Will be granted them
without our consent. This consent will never
be gwen. Then they claim that they hire
union men when they need them, which we
claim is altogether different and they
know it Just as well as we do. They are
for journeymcn when Sley are talking IL
iuurncymen, when they are not they a 4,
otherwise.
What we claim is simply this: We ask
the public to recognize our shop card, which
appears in every union shop. We further
more ask the Central Labor Union to take
no stock in a case which they do not fully
understand, as we cannot understand why
the Central Labor Union takes SO mach
notice of thing with which they have
nothing to do.
We are organized al nd chartered aH,l have
been. for years, and we are simply taking
care Of ourselves as organized men.
