| wish to write a few words in reply
to Clyde Griffith's letter would like
for him to write another piece to the
paper and give us union men few
points on the subject on which he is
trying to talk, and on which he has
failed so far. We would like for him
to give us some information. We know
all about the prices at Whitwell. We
union men want him to explain to us
why non-union is best for the country.
/ believe if it was not for the union
that the laborer would be going into
the mines and digging coal ten hours
a day, and not making over S1.O0
day. We are the cause of you getting
the prices that you are getting today.
Wipe the union out and you wouldn t
be allowed to say anything about your
work at all, nor the prices for work.
just whatever the company saw tit to
pay you would be what you would get.
Some will say that we can quit and
leave. If all of the miners were work
ing non union where would you go to
| better yourselves? You would just
have to walk right mp and take your
medicine, and it would get to be a
mighty bitter pill, but if it ever was
to happen that way, don't grumble.
Union men never started it, but you
fellows did it yourselves. You said
that some of the union men were beg
ging for work ut Whitwell. / can say
for myself, that / have never asked
for any job at Whitwell and don
want any. l stand more on my obliga

If YOU will allow me space ! will try

fith's letter | never lived at Whit

City when the lockout came. | stayed
at Tracy about IL months and SO l
guess the men were like me, they did
MT have the money to buy with. DID
the union come out on strike or did
the company stop them? Mr.. Griffith
talks like the union could have been at
work. Yes, they could if we could
have got settlement with the compa-
nv but that was what was the matter.
We didn't get a settlement 1t was
inst because the non union took posses
sion of the union men s places at Whit
well and Tracy. If the non union had
backbone enough we might have been
back at work. / know men that had
good jobs that just as soon as they
heard that the company had opened for
men, went the nearest way to get

cause any increase in wages. If you
will look back to 1893, when we were
working for a dollar day, I think you
might see what the union has done for
everybody-net just for the union but
for the nonunion people just as well.
Now, Mr.. Griffith, look in the mat
ter and see if you don't think that the
union was doing good for our country.
But just as long as working men are
put against one another we will have
hard times You know that the com.
