their way to visit the formers daugh-

After they had spent three days in the
valley, they came back ON the noun

course they knew where to get

never stopped until they got to the

Next Saturday will be the closing of
the Assembly Grounds. People are
leaving very fast and all will soon be
gone.
John Conry is on the mountain hunt
ing cattle and is also inquiring for

Well, "Uncle Tom, your traducers
Uncle, l will try to add few more
facts to your piece. Yes, Uncle, you
stated the truth when you said the I'M
ion had been the cause of more back
sliding among the christians (so call
ed) in Tracy than anything else. I'm
Gle, don't you know there were men
who joined the Holiness church SO
they could scabY If there had been no
union you could probably never have
found out who the hypocrits were.
You said, First, the principles of the
union had never been lived up to, and
as such the union has been prostituted
and corrupted and made bulldozing
machine by vile and vicious men who
sowed the seed of prejudice until it
swept over Tracy City like a lorna
do. " "Uncle Tom" do you remem-
Der of me as secretary of a union,
meeting you on the streets of Tracy
several years go and giving you a spec
ial invitation to come out on Hobbs
Hill and make us speech, and you
accepted and came and in your dis
course you said, ''Men, we've got the
bull by the horns, ETC., and then you
go on and say, II did say that Tracy
| City had never had a taste of real
genuine unionism, but we We had lots
of bulldozing stuff, not fit for intelli-
gent people to swallow" We're you
handing out bulldozing stuff when you
used to be leading man in the I'M
ionsY Uncle, this is an insult, to ex-
pose the unintelligent people of Tracy
City to the outside world and let them
4 know that you did lead them until
you for some cause, | know not what,
left the union. "Uncle Tom" was
with another man at the time of the
convict trouble and we overheard your
statement to Col Fyffe that you
"were forced to do what you did by
the men'' Every one knows that
where there is strike on the compan-
les get men to do something so they,
the company, can call on the troops,
and what ever is done, is always laid
to the strikers A non union man or a
strikebreaker, is man without a
principle and will Go most anything
for money. l heard that you had writ
ten to Mrs. Gruhdy" that you chad
advised your boys not to pay any at
tention to the asses i'll the union and
to not stop working. If your boys
are union principled | wonder what
kind of an ass they think you are?
God bless you, "Uncle Tom" give us
something we don't know. Kill and
murder, we all know won't do any
one any good. Don't try to soft soap
us by such pieces as your letter to the
News. | did read few of your pieces
in Mrs. Grundy, and am sorry to say
you have not been writing like your
preaching was some years ago. Your
confidence in man has been lost, | am
thinking, over some object you wished
to gain and failed Maybe the men
found you out. You know the union
wants your motto: peace and good
will; fair wages and good treatment -
Dear "Uncle Tom" if | did not know
you personally | would be offended at
your letter, as / did make one or two
remarks about your rot, etc, and ]
still consider it such, for knowing you
as | do, hearing your speeches and
then reading some of your pieces to
Mrs. Grundy, and now this letter
to the News, still leaves me in doubt
as to you teaching men true unionism.
Your letter to the News, or your IRE.
buke and criticising the 'asses' would
almost make anyone who does not
know you, believe that volumes of true
principaled unionism could be gotten
out of your writings to Mrs Grundy.
But suppose you know about that
statement of A. Lincoln "You car
fool some of the people all the time
you can fool all the people some of the
time, but you can't fool all the people
all the time. May true union prin
ciples be instill-d in the hearts of al
the young and rising generations anC
may the unions.c come out victorious in
all their rightful demands. Old Sox.
