Correspondence.
To the Editor of the St.
Croix Avis.
Dear
Sir:—
;
Please.
permit
me
space
in
your
daily
papers
withreply to
reporter’s
ignorance
in the daily issues
of the 9-9-20.
-
Mr. Reporter
you allude
in
your
last
paragrapn
to
dogs,
are
you
a goat
or a
man.
. Now reporter,
it is not
a question
as
to
whether
I did
or did not agree,
far
those
men
of the Invincible Club
to play in the
contest,
~that
does
not
help ‘your state-
ment
one
bit,
ycu
as
a reporter,
| am
sure
was
00 the scene
before
the
contest
.began,
and
must
have
heard
when
[ and
my
man protested
loudly against
navi g
those
men
n
the
game,
remember
also
that
"it
was
at
the
last
inoment
thatI
~was
aware
that
those
m2n would be in
the contest
and
as
we had
ma<le prepara-
tions
for
same
contest
and
was
on the
ground
I had
nothing else
to do,
but
to
play the game
as
some
beuefit
in
turn of
thep
reparation being
made.
tlence
the
fact
still
remains
th2 same
as
no credit
for the
C. C.
C.
in spite bf they being vic
torious,
because
it was
aot
with their
en-
tire
team,
that
they
won
the
contest.
Mr.
Reporter I caa
see
plainlv that
you
are
cripped.
In
the 9-10-20
isusue
you
have
appealed
to the
captain
of
the
C
C. .
tor help
Well,
-you can
take
him
alona =ith vou,
ang
you
can borrow
‘the
Invincib'e
powerful siege
guns
that
you
claimed
we
were defeated
with,
to
help
vou
fght
this
battle,
that
you
have
created
in the
daily issues.
But
can
you
imagine
where
you and
your
guns
ete.,
will be
when
| let
go
my
asphysi-
iting
gas
that
I am preparing
for
you;
now
you
said
should
I
reply
you
will
leave
we
to fight
with the dogs
running
on
the
streets.
Reporter
are
you
not
aware
that
oftencdimes
street
dogs
are
found
out
to
be
gcod
companions
and
useful
servants;
if
it
were
not
on
ac-
count
of
the
inability
of
spzeech
and
knowledge
ete.
they
might
have
been
more
nonest
than you
are,
in iy perion-
al
opimion
perhaps
you
are
not
as
good
as
tne street
dogs.

As

pay than theLabor
Union
people and longer hours
I am
telling you
square
and
plain that
you

if

so.
The other

e
to the different planters
who are employ-
in
“our labarers
and have
been
told
that
our people
are working longer hours
and
for less
than
the Lab .r Union
members.
The
gentleman
dbove

and he

element
of

Referring
to the President
of the
La-
bor
Union,Iam noz
pre
ared
to place
anything libelons
against
him, ounly facts
‘as
we know
them
and as
the Executive
Council
of the Labor Union
knows
them
When
the
president
says
that
he
is
prep-red
to fight the
Federation
of
lLa-
bor.
Fightine
us
is
no surprise;
for as
a
man working in office with the ¥Founder,
Mr.
D. H. Jackson,
he fought
him
bit-
terly,
and
if it
was
not
for Providence
the
founder
would
have fost
his life,
I
will not speak
just
now
about
the prison
cell;1 leave
that
uatil
he answers.
Chabert,
you know,
that if it
was
not
for lavwer
Nielsen,
yvou would have
had
the
found-r
then.
But,
as
you are
not
as
near
to us
as
you
were
to him,
we wiil
not
worry
over
a
fight with
you
now.
We
will fight
on
our principles,
that
is.
for humanity
and against injastice
:
. QUESTIONS
1..-
Chabert,
-ahat
did-
+the
furmer
treasurer
tell you at
that time.
He heing
a rair-minded
man asked
you
Ralph,
are
you
certain
about
what
you
are
saying,
and
if those
things
ar:
true
then
I
am
deceived
in the founder.
Are you
aware
that
at that time
you could
have put
the
people,
that you
now
profess
to.love
to
shame
and
disgrace!
Ycu are
trying
it
again,
but you
had better
realize
it
now
for you will be in tight,
2.
Who
was
the cause
of that big dis-
pute
when
he
esfates
on the
north
were
bought?
when
the former
treasurer
had
to
investiguie
in the illegal action
as
he
was responsible
for the
finanece.
3.
What
was th+
reason
for
sending
in your resignation
and
refusing
to work
for the peopi= at
the time ot the financial
rupture.
'on't
be
the
same
grub,
an-
swer
these
questions
and fight your
owrn
cause;
there
are
more
facts
yet
to
pro-
duce
when
you
answer
these.
'
Yor this'
time
no
one
with their
iying
tongue
will come
and forge
that
Govern-
ment
has
sent
them,
for
1
am
certain
they
will never send
you
or a ceriain
one
who
1
know
is
clean
out
of place
to
champion
this
cause.
The
very
best
thing
{or you
to do is
stop teaching
the
people
Race
Hatred
and disloyalty to tie
American flag, by misinforming them that
thg
6th
of September
is
not a
National
holicday
and that they must
not celebrate
it,
but they
must
be
prepared
to
ceic-
brate
November
the Ist
which is
their
day.
'
:
Try
and
teach
the
people
patriotie
principles
that
wili always
protect
the
Stars
and Stripes
at any public
cost
and
at
any private peril, ard
that
is,
to teach
them
to love and
respect
the
flag,
and
we, collectively,
will reap
better
results.
4. -‘When
you
established
your
two
shops
at
Christiansted,
why did
vou
telj
the people they were
the Urion shops.
Is
it the fact that they are
the Union
shaops
or your shops,
if they
are your shops
then
you
have
told
the
people
a
lie.
And
there
are
merchants
now
in
the
same
town
that
would
like
to
know™
Pleae
make
these
things clear.
Why did the
former
treasurer
not
tell
the
peopie
that
his
shop
was
a
Union
sh,p.
No,
he
told them
it
was
his
own
clear
property,
and
that
he wil try and
sell
them
cheaper
than
elsewhere.
5.
What
is your
reason
for telling
the
people
that
the
plauters
are
trying
to
kill
them
out with task
work and
that
1
am
at the
bottom
of it?
You
had better
stop
making
strife
between
the
poor
laborers
and
their employers
ana
they
will
get
along
better
by
you,
who
are
their Leader,
speak
the
truth.
If you try
and
do justice
to both
par-
ties
and stop egirating
the people,
on the
sly, against
their emiployers;
things
will
be
better.
I trust that
vou will let
the
planters
know
that
you
have
told
the
people
to prepare
fer
a strike
and
that
you
wiil give-degal
notice
so
that
things
would werk out
well,
)
6.
Why vourself and
the former
presi-
dent
were
at
jogger
heads!
plcase
re
member
those
instances;
they
may
ve
simple
to
vou according
io
'he plans
that
you
have
iaid down
to
leave
the
people
in
the-mire
and
ger
cut
of the
responsi-
bilities
atter you have
done
your
slyish
actions.
