    Very nice work. Excellent.

    Union men used to die on the street or in the yard as victims of injustice. Now you see that the war has been taken to a different place in these hard times, and there you have prevailed.

    On this board, at least, the good and honest working man still has his dignity, and is not yet again a slave to the company. Unfree toilers everywhere would thank you, if they had any voice.

    Take great care.
