Another Threatening
Letter

AuOLu6r threatening
Letter
This is very interesting,
coming from this railroad. It
has received $5O,OO0,OO0 of
our morey from the Recon
struction Finance Corpora
tion. This is not being used
to put discharged employees
back to work, and the rail-
road workers plea that the
corporation receiving this
vast sum be requested not
further to reduce wages is
ignored by Mr.. Hoover.
But the president of the
road, with an arrogance
which is out Of place today,
assumes the right to die
tate the vote of men whose
manhood and citizenship he
did not buy with the re-
duced wages now being paid
them.
| have just seen another
letter from a coal operator
in Indiana to other opera
tors in that section, setting
forth the plan to put in
the pay envelope of the COM
paratively few miners so
fortunate as to have jobs
part of the time a letter
which comes so near being
a positive threat that l am
sure it constitutes a crimi-
nal offense. This letter
urges that these threats be
put in the pay envelopes
the Saturday evening be-
fore election. The writer
explains that at this time
the threat may be most ef-
fective.
But we may be sure there
is another reason for delay
ing the threat until the last
minute. It evidently was
hoped, thereby, to prevent
the exposure of this near
criminal conspiracy before
the polls open.
E Happily, there are among
manufacturers and operators
men who have had enough of
the Hoover brand of pros
perity and business admins
tration and retain in their
veins enough red, patriotic
blood to despise this cow
ardly attempt to take advan-
tage of the necessities of the
workers. From one of these
we received copies of these
letters-that of the operator
and that of Mr.. Atterbury,
president of the Pennsyl-
vania road.
We Salute
Mr.. Stevens
Apropos of these dastardly
attempts at coercion, it is
gratifying to find an out
standing manufacturer in
Detroit, within the shadow
of Henry Ford's mills, who
knows how, as an American
with respect for American
institutions, to respond to
the request of the Atterburys
to join in the cowardly at
tempt at intimidation. This
is Frederick B. Stevens, head
of the corporation that bears
his name. He has put a mes
sage in the pay envelope Of
his employees this week. In
substance, it says:
This company wants you

FELTON, TrOunces Frederick


The FELTON, boys were all ready for
big Jim" Postles (Frederica's star
Pitcher) when he walked on the
mound at FELTON, last Saturday and
they hit him with everything except
the umpire during the first two in
nings, then he began to call for help.
Smith was called in to retire the
side and finish the game and did
good work, allowing but three hits
and one run in seven innings. When
base hits began to ring around Pos
ties ears Frederick fans must have
gone home, at least no one could
hear the fish horns any longer.
Fl. Killen was on the hill for Eel
ton and threw plenty of smoke in
his opponents eyes. He allowed but
scattered hits and of these were
of the scratch variety.
The FELTON, fans gave Postles lot
of credit for the great game he
pitched against us two weeks ago
and when he was batted from the
box last week his home fans accused
him of something that will hurt a
players moral standing. A fine
bunch of sports some of your fans
are.
Now that both teams have a game
each, the FELTON, management is
ready to hear from the Frederick
manager when they are ready to
play the odd game or games. If we
do not hear from you we will feel
sure you were thoroughly satisfied
with the lacing you took Saturday.

TAX MACHINERY
BEGINS WORK

Tax collection machinery of the
Internal Revenue Bureau began
to turn today in preparation for
the gigantic task of enforcing the
revenue act of 1882, the most
drastic since war days.
About $2,46O, 100000 will come
into the Treasury vaults as a
result of the higher rates. The
bill was designed to increase reve-
nues by about $1,118,000,000, and
if estimates are correct the bud
get virtually will be balanced with
the exception of $497 900, 900 the
statutory debt reduction during
the next fiscal year.
This sum must be charged
against ordinary receipts under
the law. A total of $426,489, 800
will be appropriated for the sink
ing fund.
