MONEY DOES THE BUSINESS

JUNEAU, April l6, 1908.
 EDITOR ALASKA SENTINEL: The order ing of troops to Fairbanks and Douglas brings to mind the fight between money and labor for supremacy. Money hired Supt. Geo. Daly and the Mcdonald Bros. to murder two prospectors for their claim at Body, Calf in 1SS0, witness Johnny Olds and Civil' Engineer Thorndyke of Juneau. The miners union ran Daly and the Me Donalds out of the camp. The McDonalds then "had it i'll for the union and money engaged Joe Mcdonald to break up the union at Leadville. When that was done, Money engaged Mcdonald to break up the Occur d Alene union. He imported few dyna1niters, and with the help of some rad- calls in his employ, furnished them with the powder to blow up the Bunker Hill mill i; and according to the story told by miners, McDonald said Give her plenty, boys '' Money then engaged Joe Mcdonald at the Treadwell mines, where he murdered all unarmed Han ill cold blood
 Money hired Supt. Sam McAIaster of Lead, $. D., to murder two men for min ing claim. Money hired Ed. Hasey to kill one man and wound four others at Keystone Canyon over a railroad right of way
 Money claims the right to dictate terms, be 1t buy or sell, If Money had mountain of gold he could not work it without Labor. As Labor gives it value, Labor is entitled to fair share of said value; but Money says "No!, you are compelled to work, and at our terms. We will import labor to work at our figures" It is true that Money has no right to murder, nor has a union a legal right to say a man must join them or leave the country; but so long as Money murders with inipunity, and so long as working men must furnish heads for Money to pound with steel bars Gas has happened at Tread welD the unions will no doubt consider any means fair.
 But next election Money will hold out stick baited with little taffy and the work ing r1en. will again vote themselves into slavery. True, they may rebel and bring oil a revolution, and Money will flee to Europe; and when the war is over, the unions on one side and their 'scab'' brothers on the other, will be 4ike the proverbial good Indian, nearly all dead Then Money will return and engage in the transportation business and reap harvest by filling up the country with cheap labor There will be war, either of bullets or ballots, ann unless the work ing men of this country do as their English brethren have done ard vote their own kind into office, they will soon be disfranchised and disarlned, and will then be as serNile as the Russian peasants Of the last century.
 l, for one, have no particular reason to fear or harm Mir. Money. Ill fact. rather like him But like tic Englishman said of habits" Money can be made as docile as any other domestic animal, Tot by fighting among ourselves or dVna1niting companv's $ property, but by placing cur own kind in office. Reject his hattery and cajolcry al the polls, and when he raises the Star Span gled Banner, with the old gag, Who'll pull Ii down'-God, forbid 1t say ''Ees, MT. Money. and we forbid it. Throw her on high to the breezes, that the people may see her still waving 'o'er the Land of the Free and the home of the braye,'n
