COMMENT.
That loud-mouthed political hireling
| flched from the ranks Of organized Ia
Dor and termed by his masters as
Tabor leader" is in evidence. He gets
his price and for greed OF gold or A
promise Of some menial subservient
position is willing to sell out his union
or his black soil If necessary. He is
his own ilk and by sneaking, spying
! methods, and, a liberal distribution OF
swag. is able to keep in touch with
the doings Of the labor unions who are
! striving for an exercise OF the inde-
| pendent use of the ballot. Barrels Of
| money will be expended to circum-
! vent the political movement OF the A..
| F. Of L., and it's up to you to spot
| the crooks who are accepting 1t.
Bill Nye had the truth we'll told
| when he said: A man may use a wart
on the back of his neck for a collar
button; ride on the back coach Of a
| railroad train to save interest on his
| money till the conductor gets around;
| stop his watch at night to save wear
and tear; leaving his II" or It" without
dot or cross to save ink: pasture his
mothers grave to save corn; but a
man Of this sort Is a gentleman and
scholar compared to the fellow that
will take a. newspaper two or three
years and when asked to pay for it
puts it into the office and has it mark
ed refused"
| PRESIDENT Lynch, of the nternattOn-
al Typographical Union, desires the
names Of fraternity publications which
are composed by non-union printers:
also the name OF an envelope manufac-
turer who can furnish envelopes in one
to two hundred thousand lots and place
the label thereon. The Appeal to Rea-
son desires this last information also.
President Dickson. Of Detroit Typo
graphical Union. asks for the names Of
seed houses which are fair to organ
lied labor. Can you furnish any of
the above information?
