Well, Mr. Elitor We writer got
little tatfey in a recent issue from
Short Stop" and "Short Stop" il
was. He seemed to think wasexcited
over the scrip they were drawing, but
l was excited to think set of men
would work for month and wait
twenty days and then draw scrip not
due for three months This is a fact. /
Ihelr scrip is not due until three
month after date. He says when /
worked there and the T. c. /. Co. I
pad us off in checks we would strike.
Ihey did not pay us in any such stuff
and whyr Simply because they knew
that the union men were men that
mad grit and nerve enough to protect
themselves and their families and they
knew that the non union class have
not the nerve to protect themselves
You see the company has got men that
they know they can take by one hand
and kick the rear of their pants off,
and they will put up with it and
work on. He said that he believed
in unionism. If so he ought to prac-
tice it, for he shows to the world that
he hasn't got as much union in him as
a hog. Union means something be-
sides licking companies. He says if
| like to hear the truth to come down
and hear Bro. Smith. If Smith
breaches what you practice, he is not
my brother, nor does he preach the
truth, for no man who works to down
himself and his fellow men ami their
families has got the true principle of
fairness towards his fellowmen in him.
If man breaches any such doctrine
he is only working for Satan and
protecting the DEVILS work. do not
say that your Bro. Smith is guilty of
such. | only throw rocks at those l
skin. If it hits him, all right. 1t
not, it is thrown at that other man.
AS to the house "Short Stop" lives
in, l know nothing about it, nor the
wire fence, but do know that if his
house is out of repair as bad as he is
IN seeing things right, it is i'll bad
shape. My story is true. l tell moth
ing else and give true points so plain
that anybody can see it is true /
want "Short Stop to show me where
in he believes in unionism.
The Bible tells me that faith with
out works is dead. Now let's take
the word of Jesus. A lawyer asked
him a question tempting him and say
ing, master, which is the greatest
commandment in the law" Jesus
said unto him: Thou shalt love the
Lord, thy God, with all thy heart and
with all thy soul and with all thy
mind. This is the first and greatest
commandment, and the second is like
unto it. Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as myself On these two com
mandments hang all the law and the
prophets. st. Matthew XXI: a7-39
Now, do you non-union people do
this? No, you do not, for you are
holding to the money gods of the
world, regardless of self or anyone
else. You do not realize that you are
causing little ones that cannot help
themselves to suffer ON account of
non-union people giving away to the
money power, and not having nerve
enough to stick to labor. The union
men of our country are men who want
every man to have an equal show with
his fellowmen. They love one another.
They are not like man | heard of
some time ago seeing ghost and
grabbing at it. These ghosts are some
ohiiiE LhCy 500 oShACbhi1ies III
which they have cheated or wronged
I someone.
tell you, if man is called to
preach he is not called to do anything
else.
l see the T. G. /. Co. has got good
miners to get slack coal and dirt. At
every mans house you will find about
ten bushels of slack and dirt.
am man that never did deny
loaning to my neighbors Some people
will not loan little meal without say
ing something about it. have heard
people say, Il have not got it to spare,
but | will let you have little, - and
/ perhaps they had half a barrel in the
house This is not Christian princi-
pie. We must live right and live for
our neighbor as well as ourselves.
Good luck to all. My story will be
in next week issue. Uncle Blue.
