GOD AND STRIKES. Kdttor Sioux City Tribune: A letter appeared in tbs Li tter Box of The Trth. une on January 7 written by one John Black, telling about the great injustice to labor from Moses' time up to the present. He Informs us that Moses read labor 1-tot arts to hard hearted Phnroah and his hard bolted taskmasters which, Mr. Black says, led to a successful Issue: and then states further that this great God Inspired historic strike. 1 cannot believe that God was the In stigator of any strike. 1 agree with Mr. Black wherein lie says that Jesus was a laborer and was teaching that God In spired Idea—brotherly love (not strikes). Anil that same great Master also satil "Render unto Cuesar the tilings which he Caesar's, and unto God the tilings which are God's." "Ye cannot serve God and mammon."' Of course not. but we can serve God and mankind. Rockefeller, Gary amt Morgan come In for their share of criticism for business conducted by them. I believe if Mr. Black will Investigate a little, he will find that any labor man that is in any way connected with Rockefeller’s con cern will tell him a different story. You draw your pay according to your work. If I get out and hustle and make a few dollars, 1 get them. If the other fellow falls to hustle, lie will not get as many dollars. Who is to blame? Mr. Black says labor is only asking Justice, i presume that means organized labor, and that's all well, ns I am heartily , In favor of organized labor as far as or ganization is •concerned, when the or ganization is used for what it was In tended. When any organization misuses rights and obligations as Is done In : this day and age. then I say that the | Fatherliod of God and the brotherhood of man is on the brink, ready to fall. Wagner, S. D.
