REPLIES To UNION"
NITES ARGUMENT

Editor. The Times: There are
two kinds Of Union" wives I
happen TO be opposite TO the
Union wife who wrote in Dec.
Il. I have gone through two
strikes and they were hard,
heavy and we certainly did have
to omit" several things from
our table, but l did have the
privilege Of being a real Union
wife and "set-tishter' All the
hsdships and deprivations were
worth the price to see the men
gain their point. Ny husband
Was one.
Strikes are the only way
working man has TO let the big
white collared guy know they
are human The men have the
same right TO ask for more
money to keep up their homes as
the big guys have been doing for
years
Union" wifes figures don't
show much Of a gain in dollars
and cents. but the gain made in
deplorable conditions is worth
far more than a few measlev
nickles. Ten years ago the men
worked 10. u and even II hours
a day and still got pay for eight
hours. How much in dollars did
the big guy make in those extra
hours Our men had TO sit out
side In winter or summer 10 eat
cold lunch with only a half
hour 10 wash IL down in That
is done away with. thank good
ness
In 1894 the shipowner, were
receiving SIS per ton on ship
ping: now they get $50 per ton.
still the men who did the hard
and dirty work shouldn't fight
for q decent living Wake up.
Union" wife and think Of con-
ditions Of the working men in
other WAYS than dollars and
cents. Don't sell the union men
down the river OF hard luck and
hsrdships for few meAslsy
dollars
