The public should remember that
there are few labor unions conducted

in sympathy with any right act that

abiding unions show unAenlable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor a1d encourage
criminals in their efforts to force
yoke OF slavery upon the American
people. AS n public speaker lately
said: THE arrogance Of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquence
OF Otis. that inspired the immortal
declaration of jefferson, that left War

the conditions that a closed shop

The public should also remember
that good, true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members. but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So. the
honest, law-abiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are de-
nounced, but when you hear a union
man ''holler" because the facts are
made public, he has branded himself
as either one Of the lawsreakers or
a sympathizer. and therefore with the
mind of the lawbreaker, and likely to
become one when opportunity offers.
That is one reason employers decline

Place the Blame.

Homer Clark, aged 80 years, home
Hattiesburg, died in comp at the
Yellville depot. Feb, 10, 1905. But
for the sad story connected with this
mans going, should not intrude
upon your time further than the
statement given above, But there is
much to be told that will call a
blush to the face of every honest
man in whose veins there pulses one
drop of human blood. Homer
Clark was stranger in strange
land, and while laboring for the
White River X. X. Co., in camp at
Yellville, developed what the Com
pany doctor pronounced smallpox
Immediately after the doctors pro.
fessional visit to camp, the Marion
county authorities put the camp UNI
der quarantine restrictions.
The car in which Homer Clark lay
sick, displayed the yellow flag, until
the day he died as stated above
Clark lay in this car far from Feb'y
18th until the 10th, without medi-
cal attention, the railroad company
refusing to discharge that duty be-
cause the county authorities had
taken the camp in their hands, and
the county, and town of Yellville
refused to give treatment to the pa
tent The foreman of the camp
told me that he sent messengers to
Yellville for a physician, guarantee
ing pay for services by written re-
quest. No notice was taken of this
request, other than to say it was not
their case.
No nurse ever entered the car to
administer to the afflicted man, and
on the Sunday that he died no one
ever entered the car from noon until
four O'Clock when it was discovered
that he was dead. In his dying ag-
ony he fell from his bunk and broke
his nose and otherwise mutilated his
face. The company doctor went on
ly to the door of the car and tiptoed
to peep in and pronounced the case
smallpox. He paid a professional
visit to the camp when Clark lay a
corpse and at a distance of sixty
yards again pronounced it small
pox The foreman ordered a grave
dug on the right-ofway but the citi-
zens of Yellville ordered it filled and
Clark was later taken two miles
north and buried on Lees mountain.
1t is now twenty-five days since
Clark was taken sick. No new cases
having developed at this date, March
LIST supports the assertion of many
in the camps that Clark did not die
of smallpox. Whether smallpox or
not, was it right to quarantine this
man AMI then deny him medical at
tention? fit was right to quaran-
tine this man in order to protect the
public, was it just to deny this man
humane treatment in like manner?
Clearly some one has erred and grave
responsibility rests upon somebody,
| have only stated the facts in the
case. Let public opinion place the
blame.
