Mason, Tenn. local station on the
l.. K A. Ry. and fifteen miles across
the country from Covington The

TO handle any merchandise 10 or
from Covington The merchants
have no supplies The electric light

ditions
The Railroad Company is circulate
ing all kinds of false reports for the
purpose OF swaying public opinion
and for the purpose Of misleading
the men on strike under the guise Of
what some of the semiofficials term
friendships. Members Of
organized labor beware of those sub
marine mines or pitfalls that have
been set for you Don't take any
chances whatever; guard well your
every movement; accept no advice
from anyone who YOU do not know TO
be as friendly to the clerks cause as
you are yourselves. Accept no adj
vice from any source unless it comes
through your executive officers In
charge. The slogan of all should he
we will WHINE must win Elimi-
nate everything else from your mind.
Confidence and determination have
never yet been conquered in the
history of the world. They can not
be conquered now If we continue to
execute their tenets
Fraternally yours,
JN0 J. CARRIGAN,
Grand President.
