A LIST OF GRIEVANCES

The following Billy Doc" At hand
per United States mails and contents
noted:
Phoenix. Ariz.. Febr. 23.
Mr.. Editor:
Il wish IL advise you To be more
careful what YOU say in your p@per
Arizona Republican. against Socialism
the present Mexican revolution, and
Union Labor. as | think you viii have
still in your mind what happened Ia
the Los Angeles times several months
lago.
a WORKING; MAN OF ARIZONA
The excitement in This office ON the
receipt OF the foregoing was easily sup
pressed before it got a start.
The writer who evidently disguised
his chirography by pen printing.
failed quite Ia hide the fact that hr
learned to write German before he TOOK
up English. However. that is neither
here nor there.
Ii may interest "A Working Man at
Arizona" 10 learn that this office is dy-
Mantle proof. that the editors and en-
ployes therein wear anti-dynamite
clothing and that all of them carry dy-
Mantle insurance: that this * head
quarters for dynamite This phase of
the matter having been disposed OF. the
grievances OF A Working Man Of .iri-
IONA" may be taken up slightly out o.
order
IL is asking too much OF this paper
To refrain from further aliusiOn
to the Mexican revolution. While The
Republican il u moral and religious
journal some of its readers are not
gioomily moral and others are not
sruesomeiy religious For The edit
cation ana entertainment 81 such a.
thus approach To- worldliness the col
usnnS OF The Republican have 10 b.
lighteued ana enliyened by humor OF
which the Mexican revolution at pres
ent. As it has been from the beginning.
is a source from which much OF this
humor has been drawn. The Repubi-
can will not give il mp without a pro-
test
Now. if A Working Man OF Arizona
will name in place Of the Mexican rev
Olution some other joke which ne wants
eliminated from these columns. his
suggestion will be considered. But this
paper viii not surrender the MeNican
revolution 50 long as either In" MeXi-
can government stands Or 80 long az
there Is an insurrecto unshot.
As To Socialism. this paper numbers
among the Socialists OF this commun-
itv many Of its most valued readers
who are more than readers-warin
friends Of The Republican and its
writer's. The Republican does not be
Iieve they are on the right track and
they do not believe The Republican is
on the right track But the columns
Of this paper have always been open
to them for expressions Of their views
and for announcements Of their meet
ings The leaders of the Socialists Of
Phoenix have been pleased 10 say Of
The Republican that however wrong il
may he. il is fair and respectful.
|, is the belief Of the writer that a
Workingman of Arizona" is either
stranger in this community or an ig-
noramus: otherwise he would have
better understanding of the relations
between this paper and its S"cialistic
friends.
Confirmation OF his ignorance of To-
cal conditions is found in his complaint
OF the hostility of The Republican to
Union Labor Every union man IN
town regards this paper as the friend
OF organized labor. Most of them UNI
derstand that no institution in Ari-
IONA has done 50 much for unionism as
The Republican. IL is well known that
this paper advised and encouraged the
organization of a typographical union
In Phoenix, and that il has always
since steadfastlv supported II. The
union has been loyal Ia IL and The Re
publican has always resented any en-
by employers upon the
rights of the union Members of the
union are aware that there was move
ment last fall for the rafting or the
town. This movement included news
papers and printing offices whose pro-
prietors had howled themselves hoarse
for the people" and down trodden la
bor. The Republican placed its foot
on the movement and the town re-
manned Union.
This is "A matter which has frequent
~ been discussed by members "f the
trades council Of Phoenix. If a
of Arizona is a reader OF
The Voice of the People" devoted 10
Socialism and Unionism, he must have
learned of the friendly relations be
tween The Republican and organized
labsr
The Republican has the deepest re-
gard for those who work with hand or
brain. But il has no regard ut all for
those who work only with their jaws
and il has frequently expressed its dis
of such Iaborers The writer
IN Second thought believes that that is
the kind an artisan "A Workinsman of
Arizona" is.
But IL not. he is badly informed
and he owes this paper
m apology and owes it To himself and
honest labor to drop this damphool dy-
Mantle talk
