Dear readers, brotherly love is a
part of christianity, and we should
all be as brothers, working for the
interest of each other. Omitted we
stand divided we fall | wish the la
boring men of Tennessee would come
together as unit and stand for our
rights. Last year was in San Fran
cisco, CAL, and can truthfully say
the unions there are holding up wages
in fact, the unions are running the
city. If you should go there as me-
chanic of any kind, you must first be
a union man and have your card before
you can work. If you apply for job
the boss or foreman will ask you, "Let
me see your card" If you are not a
union man and have no union card,
you cannot work If you are union
man and at work and delegate comes
around and asks you for your card, and
for some cause you have not got ii
with you, he will stop the work if
you refuse to go and get it; you must
have your card with you at all times
while al work. / will give you the
scale of wages paid different classes OF
} skilled labor per diem: Painters, So;
plumbers, ~ 80; brick layers, Sc. 90 car.
penters So. 90; bod carriers, a. 90;
teamsters, $500; muckers, pick and
shovel men, So 80. All common labor.
ers 50. 90 to 81. 80 per day. Some of the
unions have, and all are trying to con

right will always win. Now, let

doing right by holding up the banne
of the union that is standing for RICH
