News. being shown the above. and asked
for an expression of his views thereon
Il think the resolutions speak for them
selves and il I wished unionism any
harm-Which DO not could not ask any
thing better than to have these resoiu-
tons given the widest publicity possible
They tell their own story and the spirit
that is behind them.
1T is not true that the News has de-
nounced uniOnism. or done what it
the unlawful practices, the influence with
men liberty and with other people S
business of which the members of some
unions have been guilty and il will go
on doing so. The News pays its men
fair wages. and never asks them whether
they are members of a union or not We
simply ask them to do their work I'm a
wOrkmanlike manner and would no more
think Of ordering them to keep out Of a
union than we would of ordering them
TO go into one and they are free agents
The custom Of exchanging matrices,
plates, cuts, etc, which has prevailed be-
tween the several newgpa pers is q mat
ter of business courtesy and was adopted
as a mutual convenience. If the other
papers obey the orders Of the union and
decide on its discontinuance the News
has no possible objection to urge.
