Answers "American."

Mr.. Edi tor: In answer to "Idleness
the Hot-bed of Anarchy l would say
Bro. American" surely you were not
writing to union man for we never
have seen union man with web feet
or bat wings, or with any more than
two feet. He surely must have been
writing to scab for they may be web
footed or four-footed for all l know,
for a scab left here on four feet and
when came to find out he was riding
COW to keep the blood hounds from
catching him, for the poor man owed
so much here he couldn't pay it and
could not make enough money scabbing
to ride ON the train and he had to ride
COW. Bro, American you want
ed to know what had become of the
red-handed murdere9s of poor Jim
Rust and Dick Henley You ought to
know as much about that as the union
people do, for you wore drawing your
grub at the soup house then and crow
ing around that you were great I'M
ion man. 1t takes good principles to
make union man and we know that
you have not got good principles or you
would not have had to be organized five
times and then went to scabbing. l
don't think it is very becoming of a
preacher to call our fellow men "han-
nel-mouthed John Bulls" especially
a sanctified preacher who says he can t
sin. They on the rock are those which
when the receive the word receive it
with joy, and these have no root which
for a while believe and in time of
temptation fall away. st. Luke S:13.
You said before scab forms there is
always a nasty running sore. We all
know that is true for we know that
some scabs that did belong to the union
were always full of corruption for they
are now scabbed over and l think you
are about well of your sore. 1t is true
enough that you can't look in a man S
face and tell what's in his heart but
we do knew that man that will swear
a lie won't do to depend on and from
this on we will know where to place
them for they are wolves in Sleeps
clothing and we are commanded by ou1
God to beware of them. You said that
some of our fellows carried water in
powder cans and claimed pay for wa
ter. You asked was that right? Nc
sir, it was not right and the man that
did that was one of your RAINING
sores, but in now scabbed over
Good wishes to the News and it:
readers and my prayer is, Lord have
mercy on the scabs for they know no
what they do. Union Ladies'

UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

My old friend, TX. C. w." made
terrible slip in his communication on
the Orbrey Coldwell shooting scrape.
He must have forgotten his best and
most sober friends all belong to the I'M
ion and would no more conceal and
harbor assassin than they would butt
their brains out. OF the terrible a
mount of drinking and carousing 60
ing on in and around Tracy City there
is less of it among our locked-out min
ers than any other class in Tracy City.
True there are few of the locked-out
boys who take too much sometimes,
but it is rarely they violate the law.
OF the six killings and the seven or
eight woundings the union can show
as clean hands as any other institution.
The attempted murder of the Sheriff
and one or two other attempts to take
life is not chargeable to union men.
The truth is mean whiskey, cards
and dice with pistol thrown in has
played havoc up here. None of the
crimes committed have been ferretted
out save what the union men have fer
reted out. Such TRADE of abuse has
been hurled at them that it appears
they are inclined to hands off and let
the home and imported toughs have it
out. Our better class of people are
standing aloof and taking no stock.
But somebody is responsible for the
blood shed and the lawlessness going
on. Whether anyone feels the respon
sibility I do not say and while my
friend, *. G. "" threw out his in
situations would like to say to him,
the question is not one of wages or jobs,
but of right, privilege which to in
telligent men, is dearer than mere
job. know my old Confederate
friend would be slow to surrender a
single right he possesses. No old Con-
federate veteran wants to give up his
liberty or principle to company and
their sons are chips off the same block.
If it had been job, comrade, the men
could have gotten that easy enough.
They were offered that but refused it
because the offer invaded their rights
and hence they refused to surrender.
The time has not come yet when an A
| merican citizen will give up to the
money power their collective rights
and though men, in their own sphere
and calling may try to black-leg them
into submission, yet it does not avail
anything but only causes them to
stand firmer and more resolute. The
men here are firmer than ever and
more determined than year ago.
There is no break and the company
has less chance to win than ever The
people are Disguised at the policy pur-
sued by the company and its brazen
effort to openly rob men of their
rights
Now, to sum up the whole matter
the majority of the law-abiding men
of Tracy City are locked-out miners.
Disapprove this assertion if you can.
We need the truth told and not so
much rumor. UNCLE GID.
