In recent issue of the Nerves we saw
a piece signed, "A Glorious Old Scab'
which read that the union had gone
dead and the scabs had gone ahead. 4
Well that may be true that you have
gone ahead, but look here, when do
you expect to get there? fear not in
this world nor in the world to come.
Again, you say that you keep Morning
Glory in hot house, and the T. g.
l. Co. furnishes him plenty of coal to
keep him hot. | admit that, for | have
known the esteemed gentleman for
thirty years and have never known him
to be located in any place but one that
is hot. He is considered warm mems
Der, whether housed by coal operator
or private individual.
And you say, Mr.. Scab, that the un-
ion miners have nothing to eat but
soup and beans and can't get anything
else. You knew this was false when
you wrote it, When / saw your letter
| considered it false and malicious
throw-off on the union miners of Whit
well, and in answer to your charge
will file plea for the good old glori-
Gus union miners of Whitwell and
want to congratulate them for the
stand that they have taken, and the
methods they have used in conducting
this strike, and hope they will contin-
ne the same as they have in the past
until they win glorious victory for
high wages, true principles and good
citizenship.
| Just work as to what the soup
suckers have furnished them. They
| have bacon, beans, meal, -four, coffee,
syrup, soda, soup peas, pork part of
the time and beefsteak when they want1
it. Money in their pocket and as good
clothes as any scab wears, and there
are two dollars coming into the Ma
tional treasury where one dollar goes
out. SO, Glorious Scab, you see it is
impossible to break up the union. /
pray to God to enlighten your mind
that you may see what you are bucking
up against before it is too late.
You see, dear Scab that union. min
ers have got more with which to con-
duct this fight than our fore-fathers
had to secure American freedom, and
make it possible for everyone in this
great republic to be born free and o.
quail SO, will stand and if am not
able to stand | will lie down and hol-
Ter, "Hurrah for the Union and all
American mothers who have given
birth to a union man or woman, girl
or boy" do not see how you can
consistently be an American citizen
when you oppose unionism, for it is
only carrying into the affairs of the la
boring people national principal,
United we stand; divided we fall
Everything in our land is organized
or incorporated except one class and
that is the non-nnion element, that is
scattered over our land, and that has
largely been secured by foreign i'm
migration, paid for by agents at so
much head to help break down Ann
erican trades unions for English capi-
talists
Hope this little answer to Glori-
Gus Old Scab' will set him at ease,
and that he will frankly, admit that
the sCabs have gone so far ahead that
they have failed to tell the truth. I'M
ion miners look better, feel better,
feed better, rest better and their phys
ical and moral health is better, their
faith in unionism is better and their
ability to stick to their principles is
: better than il ever was.
If you repent Of your sins and desire
to be forgiven and join the union please
hand in your name to
/ Morning Glory's Brother.
