Mrs c. c. Smedley. Dear Madam:
In answer to your letter concerning
your son, Fred's death. | was one of
the first reach Fred..and am glad to
answer all the questions that / can.
corning his death. never heard the
doctors give their decision about how
long he had been dead when found,
but the mine was blown up about four
O. clock in the afternoon and we
found your son next day some where
between II and 2 O'Clock and / will
give you my workd of honor as man
that he was still warm and timber.
He surely had not been dead long. He
had lived a long time. assure you
after the explosion occurred and accord
ing to all sings he had travelled a
good ways after the blow up and sat
down. He was sitting down leaning
against the rid Tor side) with his ell
bows. resting on his knees and his face
resting nj his hand. He looked very
natural and looked like he had died
with hope in God for he had pleasant
look on his face.
God knows | do sympathize with You
and hope he made peace with God,
which 1 believe he did for he knew
he had to die. He knew there was nc
chance for escape for there was no 9th.
er place to escape but the slope and
there was no chance to get out that
way. 1t was a mistake about Mr.. Pen
ley being with him. He was alone
but think Mr.. Penley was not far a
way from him. l think Fred mad,
peace withG cd before he died for h,
looked pleasant. know he had tins
to and you know he did. l have toll
you about all l know about his dealt
and win close by saying he had
lot of good friends there and no enc
mics at all. l think he was a goo,
boy. rest in peace about his spiritua
welfare and we will try to meet hin
above in better land.

Mr.. Editor. | am sure sorry that
your News has got too bad for one
brother and his children to read and
that you have lost his name, but l
have heard it said that the loss of one
was the gain to two and I think you
have gained about one hundred. 1T
viii give them all pain at the heart to
see man hold up for the union men.
If YOU want to grow just write few
more lines in regard to the union, and
Won will sure grow. Some say this
is not woman's business to put IN
about the work. say it is, My kids
are mine and I think | have a right
to hold them up as well as dad has. |
am one of John Mitchelfs soup suck
era, and thank God that am able
to lay up in the gap with him and help
hold up labor for the benefit OF my
children Some women will say to
their husband "You have just got tc
90 work. Me and this child are max

viii Not Surrender.

If you will allow me space in some
corner of your paper, I will try to
write few lines this week.
I will begin by saying I had lost
sight of Nip & Tuck until | saw he
sprung up again in last weeks issue.
I can't see the work at this place pro-
crossing like he does. He said of
course the union miners would say the
non-union miners are doing no good.
I don't know how much good they are
doing. | hear Of them leaving be-
cause they say they can't make a liv-
ing.
I guess the T. G. |. r. R. Co., if
they tell the tale, is doing all right,
but they don't average As trips a day.
That may be one Of the best days
work they have ever done with non
union men. One thing do know, the
work lately is about 81 or 4 days a
week.
Nip said when they got the 21ac re-
duction they did not strike, that is
they could not afford to. am aware
of that for I know what non-union
men generally strike-they always
strike the road and their wives strike
an empty meal barrel.
I am as good a union man as Nip &
Tuck is non-union. believe my I'M
ion is for the betterment of my child
rem. If had been selfish enough
fully believe | could have made $75 t.
800 a month, but don't want to sci
out the privileges Of my children AM
grand children that bad, and may Go

The News has honestly tried to pre-
serve a medium position between the
two sides in conflict over the labor
question in this section, and has gran
ted space equally to writers on both
sides asking for it, only reserving
the right to eliminate anything that 1t
saw was abusive and productive OF
trouble. If we have been mistaken
in our ideas, it was not our fault, for
we have done the best we could to
treat both sides squarely and fairly.
Pressure is now being brought by
withdrawal of patronage, insult and
threat, to force us to espouse the non
union cause regardless of our friends
in the union, but it is useless. Ii we
believed that we had defended an or
ganization that was guilty of the foul
charges made against it, we should say
so Immediately.

where the preacher was holding the at
tention of the congregation with an
eloquent sermon on the subject of by
the seed We sow shall we reap, a gang
of toughs started lively fusilade of
pistol shots not far removed from the

The non-union miners of Whitwell
are reaping to-day the harvest, the
seed of which was sown by the United
Mine Workers of America In other
words, if the big wages which they
claim they are making, is obtained,
it is the result of the influence of the
union for higher. wages. Remove that
influence and wages possibly would
fall for there would be no lever to
keep them up. The non union men
should encourage the union boys in
their fight for it means perhaps dollars
to them.

It is funny to have man commend
our course on public morals in one
breath and then refuse to take the
News because we invited the Chatta-
nooga Times to prove its assertions
against the Mine Workers Union, of
Tracy City. The gentleman would
seem DESTROYS to have us think only as
he does, which is logically impossible,
and perhaps we might not wish in our
turn to think as he does, but that
would cut no figure with US We
do not refuse to read the Times because
it thinks differently from u.s.

From our Regular Correspondent.
 A. H. Bonnet, of San Jose, one of the pioneers of this section, is very ill and his recovery is regarded as unlikely.
 Mrs. Geo. Carlton has been en- gagged to teach the school at San Jose during the coming winter. She will reside in Solomonville and ride to San Jose daily.
 George Carlton, clerk of the board of supervisors, is busily engaged in making duplicates of the assessment roll. The territorial board has called for one and one is necessary for the use of the treasurer.
 Monday was Pioneer day among the Mormons-the anniversary of the arrival of the first of the Mormon refugees in Utah. The occasion was celebrated with big picnic at Pima, many from all parts of the valley at tending.
 The Parks brothers have completed arrangements for sinking a deep well in the San Simon bottom, about twelve miles from Bailey's wells. The intention is to go down 25OO feet with the expectation of striking either artesian water or oil. There is fine body of rich land along the San Simon awaiting the application of water. No prospecting of inn portance has ever been done and there is a fair chance of making a strike of great value.
