got that their own countrymen might
be mobbed in Germany (if the Berlin
police act like those in New Haven)
in the same way if the news of their
bad conduct will get across to Berlin.
The mob is only another name for
tyranny and despotism. The mob is
the enemy of liberty, both personal
and national, and history proves that
where mobs triumphed for while
they become in the end their own
executioners. Let US never forget
the dignity of our position as citizens
of republic who make our own
laws and give power to those whom
we elect to promulgate and carry
them out, in our name. Wherever
an ignorant mob rises up to take the
law out Of the hands of the nation
it becomes felon and a traitor
against which all the force of the law
should be used if necessary. No one
can feel safe in New Haven, if, what
is reported about the police there,
be true. Yours sincerely,
B. NJ. O'BOYLAN.

"THEM'S OUR SENTIMENTS TEW''

We gladly give space to the follow
ing communication and ask our
friends-especially the wives of union
men-to read it and follow the
example and advice of the writer.
Mr. Editor:-I read the Leader
every week and think it is a splendid
paper, and just what we working
people have had need Of for long
time. | know it will tell our side of
the story and not print only one side.
There is one thing | want to say to
every union mans wife, and that is
buy your stuff off of the merchants
that put notices in the Leader. You
can get your groceries, clothes, shoes,
ladies goods, dry goods, medicines, etc.
in fact everything you want in your
home off of men who advertise in
our paper. When my husband wants
a glass of beer or some tobacco, he
goes to a place he reads about in the
Leader.
One thing more l want to say,
when you get your goods tell the
boss of the store you came there be-
cause he was a friend to all unions
and working people and put his notice
in their paper. Don't buy anything
off of man who who don't advertise
in it. That is how l do.
| hope the new year will bring you
lots of new customers.
A UNION MANS WIFE.

Labor Patriotic

John Voll, president of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, in re-
sponse to vice mayor Louis ]. Dam
ner's address at the opening of the
convention held at Cincinnati last
fall, in referring to the loyalty of
labor, spoke as fellows:
Labor has always been loyal, be-
cause this is a democracy, this is a
republic, and this belongs to Labor;
Labor helped to create it. We will
be just as loyal in the future as we
have been in the past. (Applause.)
'In 81 Labor was there; in '98
again the call came to bear arms, and
Labor was there In this great
worldwide conflict Labor entered,
and the declaration made at Washing
ton on March IL, last, by one hun
dred and thirty representatives of or
ganized labor pledged to uphold the
privilege Of freedom; and | say here,
and now, that Labor will uphold this
declaration with it's life's blood.
Every wage-earner in this country
can we'll say with Butterfeld that
"The blue arch above us is Liberty's
dome,
The green fields beneath us Equality's
home"
President Voll's sentiments were
enthusiastically and unanimously en-
dorsed by the delegates to the State
convention. Newark labor is patriotic
and in line with the above sentiments.
