LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Strikes by Labor Unions.

MT. Editor: If I may be permitted, l would like to venture an opinion in regard to strikes by labor unions. Of course, looking at the matter from all outside standpoint, l may not be able to judge undezstandingly but reports or the newspapers must give us all q pretty fair idea of conditions. To mo 1t seems 2 terrible state of affairs, an1 l cannot help feel that the public has a reaSonable right to demand from those in authority the exercise of se- that often result from many of the strikes. There are, of course, as a rule, two sides to every question, and we should look on both sides. There are cases where employees are justified In demanding better conditions from employers. and unless there can be an an1icable adjustment of affairs, those employed have a right to refuse their services; but all who have any desire for law and order do not coun. tenance acts of lawlessness and vio- fence as a means to accomplish their object. This has all been thrashed out, and yet conditions are still bad. It seems to me that if a law could be passed and enforced whereby When any branch of any labor union declares strike, and as a result of that strike there is rioting, causing loss of prop erty or life, or both, then that union or division should be held responsible for such loss until the actual perpetrators were apprehended and brought to jus tice." Such law, think. would no, only safeguard the public, but would place a restraint upon those members of unions who have tendency to do such acts. The standard of unions would be raised by being urged Of undesirable members, and they would gain and hold the respect and sym pathy of the community, and contrib ute very much towards the better ment of conditions between employer and employed. When the employer finds that public sympathy ,is entirely against him in the controversy, he is going to sit up and take notice. If, on the other hand, he Is right. then he can afford to stand for it until such time as those whem he employs are brought into the light, because he will be protected-T The agitator is the one who does the harm, and there ought to be a special law-the worst that conld be framed-for him and his fix. When be no longer exists, reason will have better chance to control

Rsssnts Being Called BuIk Mooser.

MT. Editor: was surprised to see
 in Mondays Bulletin that I am re-
 corded as I Bull Mooser. l came by
 this honor CD in this way: After l
 was admitted as an elector someone
 came to me and asked me if I wished
 to register to vote in caucus In either
 party, to which I said No! If he did
 not hear me think, he must be deafei
 than I am. I then asked him if he
 registered for the Bull Moosers, think
 ing If he could canvass voters for two
 parties he might as well for three.
 Thus I am a Bull Mooser by my fail ure to say No! loud enough to be heard and asking a man If he could not work for three parties as well as two.
 Now I hope you will let me give my opinion of our candidate. After seven years service, President Roosevelt re- tired with the reputation of being one of the most popular presidents anG statesmen we have ever had. Now he has descended to a low grade partisan of the Ben Butler class.
 hope you will print this, or the substance of it, as I don't like to be misrepresented in a paper which enjoy reading, and hope to as long as live.
