DuAuIus July 90, 1SU0. !
To the Editor Of the Labor World:
II you will kindly permit me. the use
of the columns of your valuable paper,
I will try to correct certain vile and
improper attacks on those who
through no fault of theirs happened
to be born in a foreign land and
possess the desire of doing good to
their fellow men.
According to a certain individuals
idea a man who Is born ABROAD and
remains there until maturily y, and
after coming to the United States, is
not able to master the English lang
uage fuently, or express himself in
beautiful manner is not a fit
object to associate with people whose
English accent Is of the manor born"
and should be e1nphattcally denied the

even more the right to; use the same,
should be suppressed: by the authori-
ties Of the state and nation. No mat
ter even should they have received

land as most OF them have who are
inclined to be agitators. =:
My contention is that those persons
are less dangerous to the welfare Of
a country than some hypocrites, who
have used the platforms and press

profits. These last three especially
were condemned by the Great Teacher.
One OF your correspondents claims
that these agitators, have been un-
successful in their native land, and
came here to. spread chaos and dis
ruption. Is it any wonder that these
men were unsuccessful in their re-
spective countries, with the PLATFORM
press and pulpit all arrayed against
them in every despotic monarchy OF
Europe?
Why, here In the United States with
the liberty and courtesy Of the press
to the clergy, and yet have complete
ly failed to bring about the kingdom
Of Christ on earth and they know
it is so.
I want to say that these agitators
are all educated and noble men. work

ment of church and labor has attract
ed the attention both of other denom-
nations and of the public press. The
reception accorded our ministers in
the shop meetings is not without sig
niilcance, The working men have a
new conception of both the charac-
ter OF the minister as a man and OF
the nature of the gospel which he
breaches. The fact that. working
men will attend a conference of en-
ployers and employees under the au-
spices of the church proves their con-
fldence in us. Reports from our min
listers Indicate that the working men
are responding to their appeal.
