Now, Mr.. Representative, "Old
Blue" is unable to give any views on
the subject of union and non union,
but Will try to say few words, as you
requested me to do as l am union
man. l will try to show the difference
between the two parties in religious
affairs and other principles, but still
they are one with God. He holds ev-
cry man responsible for all his WAYS
here on earth. When God made Adam
and Eve, he made them in union with
him, placed them in the garden, show
ing them the fruit that they might eat
and the fruit that they must not eat,
but we see that they partook of the
fruit that God forbid them to eat.
There they transgressed the law and
broke the union between them and
God to please the serpent. We see that
they had no union principle They
were for self, but God, with that union
principle, repented and made a decree
in which they might be saved You
see the two united today, drifting
along down the line, Adams and Ewes,
non union, for self and to please the
way are for self and to please the COM
panies, not for the welfare of their fell
lowmen and family, but just to have
the name of crushing their fellowmen
down to get smile from the rich man
and frown from God
Look how they did Bro. Cary at
Dunlap and the friends he went to see.
| tell you somebody has got the big
head, but it is not sold Blue.
Now, could show you several points
that God does not hold to non union
principles. Not one to the contrary,
and defy the man to find it inside the
Bible. but he does hold to union and
advises it all through the Bible. Now
you see the union man does not hold
malice against his fellow men for not
being union and not doing right, but
we see them trying every day to get
them to see the condition into which
they are drifting. They are trans
crossing the law of God by doing the
union men as they do. A union man
in principle is man that wants every
man to share alike. "Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you. "
Love your fellowman as yourself. If
all nonunion men would do that with
free heart to his fellow men, in one
month there would not be any nonun-
ion places and God would bless them
and they would prosper. tell you,
brothers, on both sides, come together
as brothers before something worse is
brought about. If there is not some-
thing done pretty soon to settle the
strife between labor and capital, in
side of FIVE years there will be de-
struction of some kind take place, for
the people are divided. Father is d.
vided against son, and son against ia
Their, and the non union is the cause of
it, for they hold TO the money power
and work against the interest of labor
and what God has commanded them to
do. Therefore they have broken the
union between themselves and God, as
Adam and Eve did, and they can t
stand. Love is the best thing to apply
to it, brotherly love. Don't get mad
at man for being nonunion in belief.
Love him, show him his errors. Show
him how he is travelling the road to
destruction.
years ago, talking of the people that
OWH 1dnu anu now SOule OI b0Sn were
selling it and selling the mineral right
when their children needed it. He
said it was like the father eating the
crumbs and feeding his children the
crust, or drinking the milk and Civ
ing them the whey. He said it show
ed that a man cared nothing for his
child nor the will of God. l am the
same way by nonunion. 1t does not
mean good will to each other, nor the
good of any one but self, and regards
not the will of God. And the Bible
tells us so. 1t means to crush down,
not to build up. even crushing the in
FAINT and taking his rights, and placing
him in the hands of the money power
to handle him as he will. This is true
and if the shoe fits wear it. If it don't
fit it belongs to that other man.
