the cause of labor unionism, and our
correspondent could do worse than
to re-read it.
AS We write this another letter Is
received concerning that same edi-
tcrial. This latter letter, il is de-
iIghtful 70 note. is appreciatiye and
eommendatory. The writer's sugges-
lions are welcomed. and will be used
hereafter; the opening is as follows:
read your paper every day, and
am delighted with its interesting
makeup and high moral tone. The
editorial on Strike Slugging, 18th
inst, is excellent. Just as you say,
this country, and to quite an extent
the world generally. is aspiring to a
higher moral plane
The trouble with most people is that
they are impatient of even friendly
criticism. You can't get molasses
too sweet to suit their palates, and
you can't give them enough Of the
sticky stuff. If one attempts to deal
fairly with any subject of controversy
the capitalists call him a socialist
and the unionists say he is subsidized
by corrupt capital.
The unionist correspondent, while
misinterpreting the editorial in ques-
ton, and havinga rather New York
Observation-Disclosures view OF
things IN general, asks some rather
pertinent questions: for instance, he
wants to know why the Senate did
not pass the pure food bill
The Senate did not pass that bill
because the drug and preserving in
terests of the Eastern States, through
such influential Senators as Mr.. Lodge
and Mr.. Aldrieh, prevented it's dis
cussion, using the Statehood bill as
buffer TO ward it on until the last
days of the session. Then, when
the pure food bill was finally per-
mitted to become the unfinished bust
ness of the session, 1t held that place
only for day or two when Senator
Hale, representing the same interests,
moved to displace it on the ground
that other business was more press
ing.
