TRADE UNIONISM
 IS NOT TYRANNY
Charles F. Kraut, of Bridge port, Makes Reply to
 Father F'ogartv.

The following letter is self explana- tory:
 1 Bridgeport, Conn.,,
 February g, 1909. To the Editor of the South Norwa1k 1 Evening Sentinel,
 1 South Norwal1, Conn: | Dear Sir-Would' deem it favor should you be kind enough to permit me to reply, through the columns of i The Evening Sentinel to some state l ments culled from the sermon deliver l ed at St. sMary'S Roman Catholic church by the Rev. John c. Fogarty. To the Rev. John c. Fogarty: l Dear Sir-In reply to your dogmatic statement, ''the tyranny of trade un- 1onism is the worst tyranny in our land today" would say that I do not know which is the best or worst tyran- ny. but do know that when an or l g1an1zed body of men withhold their | knowledge and skill! and refuse to be | exploited, or uphold a principle, it can not be construed as meaning tyranny. | Tyranny and oppression and cruelty are synonymous. and trade unions were organized to resist oppression i and fight cruelty.
 Father Fogarty, you say, 'the right to work is a. right should be taken | from no man." J agree with your statement, but not with your construc- ton of its meaning; you say that much Of the suffering today is, due to men | being prevented from working, to all low others to work at higher wages; how is this possible? These men (un- ion men) have a craft and give skill, | Knowledge and service and some fe- ceive proper compensation, this they are entitled to, and as one man can only do one mans work they deprive no man of work
 Statistics prove that during prosper ous times one million men are unem- pioyed and at present there are sev- eral million men begging for work; this is so because these men have no right to work, boys and girls Gnnocent children) have. and thereby compel men to form bread lines and offer themselves to be sold at public auction to any enc who will feed and cIothe them
 How happy the great emancipation, Abraham Lincoln, would be, could he be with us February 18th, and witness white men sold at auction!
 Father Fogarty, if you will study political economy and not permit your prejudices to interfere with your req son, you will learn that there is much tyranny in our land; and also that it is not due to trade unionisn.
 I subscribe myself,
 Respectfully,
 c. F. kRAUT

Saving That First Thousand
CoEaraed n0E r1Es 9

Is Spendable, Of course, at its face value, but
only IN = few places where Its imprint and value
are known. The money IS in the form of five
pound Bank OF England notes.
The man who packs this foreign money
around with him ism I an Anglomaniac He is,
on the contrary, a bit Of an Anglophobe, being
OF Irish descent. He carries the English money
solely as a means Of saving. He knows that the
uVe-pOund Bank Of England notes are as good
q wheat IN the BIN and he knows equally well
that Il they were five-dollar United States notes
he'd constantly be Welding 10 the temptation
70 spend them right and left. You can't spend
nve-pOund notes right and left even IN New
York; Tor few folks are familiar with that kind
ot money. The income Of the restaurant man
ager Is three thousand dollars a year.
Before he rugged up this flve-pound note
scheme he had bitten on several bad " all Street
tips passed along to him by customers OF the
restaurant and after having sent number OF
little accommodations Of bank savings after these
misleading tips he conceived violent dislike
not only Tor stock brokerage establishments but
for banks and all other sorts of flduciary inStitu-
tons. He figured, naturally enough, that the
ease with which he had been able 10 draw checks
on his bank had been the main contributory
cause 10 his yielding 70 the vain and foolish
stock market tips.
Passing one day, one OF the many little es-
adjustments IN Bowling Green where foreign
money IS dealt IN, he noticed a stack OF the
white Bank Of England notes heaped up IN the
window. Then and there the notion seized him
that Il would be a good scheme for him to carry
around with HIM money that he couldn't spend
without . deal Of bother and explaining and
even then only IN comparatively few places.
He went IN and traded United States money
for four of the five-pOund notes.
hat was nearly three years ago. Now he
has nearly four thousand dollars worth OF the
five-pound notes; for he buys one Of them each
week The bulk Of these notes he keeps in the
restaurant safe; but he always carries d few Of
the tye-pound notes IN his wallet, Just for the
sake as he puts H. Of having the feeling" that
