FRiDAY, MAY 29. Jerome Jones of the Journal of Labor Makes Reply to Joe Brown and Calls Him “His Recrudescent Excellency” Ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown is going far out of his way to condemn the trade unions of the country in the series of diatribes which he is now contributing to the press. Jerome Jones, editor and publisher of The Journal of l.abor, makes the following reply to ex-Governor Brown: “His erstwhile excellency, Joseph M. Brown, has let fly another arrow at organized labor, this time using the foreigner as the bogey man. Perhaps it is a parthian dart, but we have our 3a>.bts.

MILLHER’S CUT-PRICE GROCERY, 1121 Broad, Augusta, Ga. more forceful one—a letter which did not reek of appeal to ignorance and prejudice—but one bristling with what argument there may be against the labor unions. For we DO know that the point of view sometimes governs the conclusions of able men, and, re garding the Marietta Receptivist as an able man, we were anxious to take up the matter of his argument and refute it if possible. But the governor disappoints us in this second foray into the field of publicity, and, like a great many other public men, he is seeking to prove a Best Tennessee Meat, per pound 12%C Smoked Jowl, per pound 12%C Round Plate Meat, per pound jqc Best Tennessee Smoked Shoulders, por lb. 13'AC Beet Tennessee Hams, per pound 190 Red Lion Tobacco, per pound .. 2RC Penn’s No. 1 Tobaoeo, pound . 350 Alfalfa Horse Feed, per 100 pounds .. ~ 21 95 Tomatoes, 4 10c cans 250 Best 25c Coffee, grain or ground 17HC Sugar, per aack tl-10 proposition upheld by labor ten or twenty years ago, with this exception: What was done, was done, and could not be remedied, and labor sought to make the best of a bad situation. Where Mr. Brown stands in a measure today, labor stood then! The ex-governor tells that section of the proletariat of Georgia which last week he failed to stampede with the "negro brother” bogey, that there is also another Richmond to be slain, despite his Richardly behavior in the previous encounter. This time it is foreign domination —the transforma tion of the character of the unions by the admission ol foreigners. “Little Joe" is right. There has been a heavy influx of foreigners in this country, and it has practically all found lodg ment in the field of industrial (manu facturing) endeavor, and none of it on the farm. But let us go back a bit further,- ■jj U' THE AUGUSTA HEftALD, AUGUSTA, GA. governor. Three eases, if we remem ber aright, were referred to in your pronunciamento No. . The first was that of a body of striking Italian miners who were deported from Geor gia. Now, do YOU not remember, Mr. Brown, HOW and WHEN those ignorant, armed Italians manned the mine from which they were driven? Certainly you SHOULD know that these Italians were IMPORTED to take the places of convicts. Just at that time the convict lease system had been abolished and the mine owners, wanting a class of labor as near on a parity to what they had been using, selected the Italians. They were pre ferred to sturdy Anglo-Saxon Geor gians and Tennesseans and Kentucki ans, who would have demanded the right to collectively sell their labor. And an Italian broker was called in and he “sold" these “devoted and loyal" workmen to the coal company and provided thorn with a padrone through whom all communication with the "devoted and loyal" was had. But conditions, while they suited the coal company, did not suit, the poor, fleeced immigrants, and the lat ter, having brought with them the vendetta as a means of settling pri vate quarrels, started to redress their economic grievances itt the same way. They- were, however, not organized. Labor had opposed their appearance, but from force of circumstance was compelled to make the most of it, and sought to lift up the Italians who had taken their brothers' places ns an al ternative to dropping down to the so cial scale of the padrone-owned Itali an immigrant. The exile of these men was a violation of the genius of our institutions, and it was part and par cel of a country-wide system of ter rorism to which labor has been sub jected in the last twenty-five years, and which bred the Iniquities which have blotted the pages of recent his tory. But in the Georgia incident the foundation was laid in the sight of all men. Labor protested against their employment. It was seeking then to prohibit the immigration of foreign ers because of the very evils which followed. Will ex-Governor Brown say that he was THEN opposed to these stiletto armed, threatening Italian immigrant laborers ? Again, ex-Governor Brown's “for eirn-controlled Federation" bogey is even now seeking to have passed legis lation which prohibits tiro Immigration of such men as the “foreigners" who now excite the gore and fire the in dignation of Mr. Brown. Will ex-Governor lßown say that he favors such a bill as tile Burnett Im migration bill? Let us now proceed to Michigan, where anarchy and war have prevail ed. Without in the remotest touching the merits of the question, does the ex-governor know how THESE par ticular foreigners came to be mining copper on the shores of perhaps the most beautiful of the Great Lakes? They were immigrant strike break ers who were taking the places of English, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, Swedes, Danes, French and Germans. the sturdiest stock in all this world, the stock whence ex-Governor Brown ami other good Southerners came: the de scendants of the mightiest of the mighty; the vanguard of civilization; the keepers and guardians of human liberty. And when the Polaks and Lithuanians, the Magyars and Czechs, the Serbs and Russians descended in a mighty flood like unto the Tartar horde of Qbenkig Khan to take the Places of the liberty-loving American ized and English-speaking union min ers in the Mesabu region, the latter turned their faces to the setting sun with the instinct of man and went— To Colorado! Hut the Poles anil Magyars In the foreign horde that took their places on the Gogebic range were descend ants of the Goths and Huna, and de manded the liberty which they came here to seek. They organized. They wanted approximately the conditions for which their predecessors struck. The operators had grown in riches and in inoslence; they had organized their private armies of thugs and murder ers these Boston intellectuals who own tlie dominating copper companies; the 100 tar cent per year fortune had poured into their coffers they felt to he theirs by divine right, and when the Polaks and Magyar* struck they turned loose their mercenaries"to In dulge a lust for blood—and pay! And they slaughtered women and children in the copper country, just oh they arc slaughtering them in t'oloradu today. And still AMERICANS are leaving reparation to God. They are merely seeking to preserve the country if not FOR Americans, at least upon the American standard of living! And to help this, they are furnish ing the striking foreigners who forced them into exile and threatened the economic stability of the whole coun try with food to keep them alive and out of industrial slavery. Furthermore, to prevent future re petitions of these occurrences, they urge the passage of the Burnett im migration bill. Now let us go to Colorado, that seared and seamed and chasmed scenic wonder that lies In the lap of the Sierras. Thither went tho locked-out, English-speaking union miners. Tliei they sought that peare which had been denied them In tho Middle West. They were happy and prosperous In the days of Independent mining. Then came consolidation, and the Rockefel lers and Guggenhelms and other fi nancial freebooters whose Idea of ihe rights and privileges of property run counter to humane thought, to every Idea preached by the beautiful Christ. For them money Is breviary and heads; on their journey to whatever hell may greet landers on tho yon side of the Styx, these freebooters mean to have all there Is to be had. With their knowledge obtained at Homestead, In the Mesaba region, and elHewhere, they turned to a private detective agent—that stench In the nostrils of decency—the Felta-Bald win aggregation of Januaries and thugs. They sought to break up the unions. They did everything that liny accuraed tyrant of history ever dared to do, and more. .Stirred to wrath, and under leader ship unmindful of the teachings of men like Gompers, Mitchell, Morrison and other national leaders; the hur ried miners struck blindly out- and ten years ago this very month of May was begun the Introduction of that very foreign element against which ex-Oovernor Brown declaims • and which has met force with force. There has been alternately a state of war and armed peace In Colorado from that day to this. Commencing with the blowing up of the depot at Inde pendence In June, 1904, the act of the private detective ussasalns hired to do Just such 'tecds, there lias been a succession of reprisals until the hired thugs and murderers were compelled to give up their srms to United Stales soldiers and armed peaec prevails • the country nt large guarding other foreigners for John It Rockefeller.
