LETTERS FROM OUR
MEMBERS And FRIENDS
Eddy Suits Him.

Eddy SUITS Him.
am much pleased with the editorial
in Industrial Freedom for Apr. Sth.
regarding colonies and the kind of
people who are needed.
That is the kind of talk we mist
have to make the movement most
quickly successful. The truth is need
ed even If it keeps back many who
would bring in some money; yes,
even if it might be covered for time.
No plutocratic, competitive method
of booming" will work at colony
building-that is, colonies that are
to last, grow and expand until they
include the whole people.
Equality colony seems, on the
whole, to be on the right road-tho'
it certainly is not an easy one vet, or
likely to to be for some time-and it
has some members who have theright
stuff i'll their makeup to make real So
cialists. Socialism must include all
truth found and proven, things be
1ieved are not SO essential, think.
Bige Eddy writes much to my liking
we must tear down (if we CAM what
we do not want as well as build what
we do want. Broad thinking, world
wide, taking in all nations, is what
we need; a survival OF the best ideas
ofjustice. ]. w. Heritage.

All Have Burdens.

Bear meekly and eheerfullv all the
hardships you may have in Equality,
they are but a drop in the bucket to
what We. '<,i !hn outside have to
contend with.
Comrade Conroy, who has been 4
faithful railroad employe for years,
has at last met with severe accident
One foot badly crushed and the other
badly bruised. He will be a cripple
for life. He has large family, no
pension, having never gone out to kill
people, and railroad corporations
don't pay pensions. He is, indeed, in
straitened circumstances.
From the scene of the accident he
was taken to a religious hospital, in
the operating room, where the physi-
clans usually experiment with such
poor "cusses". As Comrade Conrov
was to be operated upon, and, altho'
he was in great pain, the matron ap-
peared and would not let the attend
ing physician proceed until $40 en-
trance fee had been paid. Poor Con
roy told them that he had Sc in his
pocket and pleaded piteously for them
to take what he had and proceed with
the work, but no, not until $40 had
been paid. Finally somebody gaur-
anteed the rest and Conroys injuries
were dressed Now Comrade EQuali-
tyites and others, just read the above
three or four times and put yourself
in Comrade Conroy's place.

Please allow me this short reply to
Mr.. Ed. Peltons article in No. 40 Of
Industrial Freedom
Beginning, he says: "a misunder-
standing in few instances has arisen
between the colony and withdrawing
members as to the terms on which
withdrawals should be made" Fur
Their he says: 1.-The memberships are
here awaiting the investor and the
labor OF the pioneers is daily making
them more and more valuble, so no
sensible person can claim that there is
ANYTHING crooked in the transaction. y
