LETTER TO MIR. BRAMWOOD.

Bramwood, Editor Typographical Jour-
nal. indianapolis, Ind.-My Dear Mr..
Bramwood: 1 herewith send you for
publication in the Journal a reply to
an editorial in the February issue,
headed, THE Policy of the journal
and Kindred Subjects
II have tried to make this reply one
that will come strictly under the con-
|stitution with reference 70 matter
printed therein. l believe nothing
will be lost by printing this letter.
1t is common thing for the printers
in local unions to hear both sides of a
question, whether they agree with the
subject or not. On the grounds of fair
play l think should be permitted to
reply through the journal, the only
medium by which ] can reach the men
in the craft who nave read your stric-
lures and assertions against me- Yours
fraternally. +. A. KENNERY.'

Kennedy VS.: Brentwood

Honest union men may differ as to
the good judgment of Editor Bran
woods policy with the Typographical
Union Journal, but it would seem i'm
possible for any difference of opinion
Ito exist upon one point-fairness.
Frank A. Kennedy, editor of the West
|ern Laborer, Omaha, has been for two
years urging Editor Brentwood to come
out openly against the Farryiie's asso-
Citations, and has severely criticized the
Journals policy. In its February issue
of the Journal Mr.. Brentwood, stung
by Mr. Kennedy's criticisms, devoted
several pages of the Journal to an ar
ticle entitled THE Policy of the Jour-
nal and Kindred Topics and fiercely
attacks Mr.. Kennedy for practical
''blackmail. 'levying tribute" wor:s-
ing 'hold-up," etc.
Concerning any personal differences
that may exist between Mr.. Bramwood
and Mr.. Kennedy The WageworSer
has nothing to do. But concerning the
policy Of the Typographical Union Jour-
nal the editor of The Wageworker, as
a union printer, has something of an
interest because he looks to the YOUR
nal for official authority and craft in
spiration. The Wageworker is old
fashioned enough to believe that the
newspaper that attacks a man should
be fair enough to give that man an
opportunity to reply. Journal readers
who know Mr.. Kennedy knew he
would make reply, and they looked in
the March Journal for it. 1t was not

SPEAKING OF DIGNITY.
A Little Less Of It and More Energy
Needed In Union Work.


A Little Less Of It and More Energy
Needed in Union Work.
There are not many labor papers in
this country, but just the same they
have an audience Of not less than
200, 900 readers weekly. These papers
crystalIize the sentiment anc opinions
of at least twice that number of men
IN all the cities, and they are nearer
the rank and file of the unions than
are the official organs like the /. I. U.
Journal, which take a very high and
dignified position in the labor world
so high the average member does not
care enough about their contents to
tear the wrappers off them. Why is
it that some printers want their ma
tional organ to be so dignified that he
will not read it? We have heard
printers commend Prescott's articles
in the Inland Printer, yet they will not
lift their hands to have such articles
appear III tuclT OWL paper. 1AC ( Oh
ry organs are not so dignified that
they won't lambast the unions. No,
indeed, when they can not find the
truth to print about the unions they
manufacture lies and print them. Do
the printers then look to their official
organ for a defense? No, indeed!
They hike to the local editor and say:

The Painters meet at Bruse's hall,
Friday evenings.

Business in the painting and paper
hanging line is unusually good and
good workmen are in demand.
OF course all union men who hire
painters or paperhangers mss, upon
|seeing the working card of the man
employed.
Inquiry among the members of the
Lincoln local reveals the fact that the
painters and paperhangers are ready to
do their part toward the erection OF
labor temple
The 10000 members OF the ;ncerna-
tional have just finished a referendum
vote on the question of holding an in
ternational convention this year. The
proposition was defeated.

The Painters and Decorators and the
BOSS Painters are now considering a
new scale. With few exceptions,
principally concerning wages, the scale
is the same as that worked under last
year.
The local union has been increasing
it's membership at a gratifying rate.
Five new men were admitted a: ;le
last meeting and double that number
of applications are waiting to be acted
upon.
The ''boss painters of Omaha seem
to be aching for another scrap. The
painters of that city are not looking for
trouble, but If it is bound to come
they are in better shape to meet it
than they were year ago, and then
they put up the only successful scrap
put up in Omaha in two years. The
employers are posting open shop"
cards, but up to date the union men
have held the fort.

cause the unions were caught UMPIRE

learned our tactics in carrying on a
fight and improved on them IN many
respects. They can whip the l. T. U.

pursue the same tactics in use pre-

Bramwood, Editor The Typographical
Journal.-My Dear Mr.. Bramwood:
Yours of the 22d received.
MY communication was sent you in
time for the March issue of the Jour-
nal. Your letter is evidence that you
read my communication. because you
quote a sentence which appears in the
middle of the article: No one expects
you to do anything but count money.
you violated section c, page ~, OF
the bylaws, the last sentence OF which
is: He (you) shall exclude from the
columns of that paper all communica-
tons OF other matter fmpugning the
motives or rejecting upon the honesty
of members of this union, wlen you
printed the editorial in question.
When you printed the editorial at
lacking me, you should in all fairness
have permitted me to reply in the
succeeding Journal.
81 would like you to give me fair
and square answer, yes or no, whether
or not you intend to print my reply in
the April issue of the Journal. Yours
fraternally, F. A. KENNEDY
Under date of March I Mr.. Bran
wood made reply, but Mr. Kennedy
does not publish it, saying, however,
among other things that Mr.. Bran
wood "villifies and abuses the Laborer
and its editor in such violent manner
as would indicate that the little I'M
crowned car of our Journal had lost
his temper, and winds up by Ea;:y re-
fusing to print my reply to his edi-
torial roast in the Journal" Mr.. Ken
nedy says further: ITO be frank about
the matter we hardly expected any
fairer treatment at the hands of Mr..
Bramwood than he gave the president
and secretary of Philadelphia Union
No. 2. We made request to have our
letter printed just to make the record
clear-and to win a wager with prom
inent member of No. 100, who bet Mr..
Brentwood would print our letter"
The Wageworker prints Mr.. Ken
nedy's' reply to the Journals charges
because it believes he is entitled to a
hearing, and because Lincoln printers
have a right to hear both sides of a
question affecting the policy of their
official organ and the honor of a fell
low member. Mr.. Kennedy's reply to
the Journal article is as follows:
KENNEDY'S REPLY.
Editor Typographical journal: I'm
der the heading of "The Policy of the
Journal and Kindred Subjects" in the
February Journal, more than four
pages was devoted to a refined and
we'll written roast OF knock on an
"editormember." There is one para
graph in the article the ''editor-mem-
Der" wishes to reply to. 1t is:
This editor-member would have us
believe that he is always actuated by
purely disinterested motives IN urging
his so-called reforms, or the election
or defeat of candidates for interna-
| tional ofice-that he seeks the ad-
vancement of union interests alone.
But our members may view this saint
like attitude with suspicion. The
editor of the Journas is familiar with
at least one instance in which this
pure-minded patriot levied tribute by
submitting bill to candidate who
was seeking reelection to an import
ant Office in the I. T. T., asking pay,
