Dear Sir, In today’s issue of the Avis there appears an article in praise f Mr. Jos. Alexander’s achievment and calling for cooperation with him. - ~ -+ - I may mention in connection therewith that rumour says that on Sunday there was a strike among the workers remov- ing the landed cargo to the Custom House. In very many cases strikes are justifiable. Whether that reported was I'do not know. Had the strikers won however, it wouid have meant an imme- diate and individual gain for the few, while the bulk of consamers would have had to indirectly defray the cost by meet- ing an additional rise which m&st likely would have taken piace in th- already existing high prices. “ - There ought to be no profiteering how- ever,and a crisis on Sunday was manfully averted, and additional losses prevented by Mr. William Abramson’s willinglycom- ing to the rescue and removing the goods with his own carts and men, even lend- ing his personal assistance. Sueh is genuine cooneration and Mr. Abramson really deserves the praise and ‘tharks not only of his competitors, but of the general public. ‘ v . =~ G A, JACKSDN. Christiarsted, Augugt 4, 1920. - Herald please copy G*J. . To the Subscribers anh Wellwishers of the Herald Countrymen anau Friends : -1 will like todraw your attention to the Editorial of the 3rd of August 1920 which reads ‘This paper is for the in- terest of the people ete’’. If the Herald is for the interest of the _people then when I, the leader of the members of the Federal Labor Union No. 17216, also a Share holder of said paper send an article to the President and Edi- toe of s Hbeald oith nothing tibcioas, what is the ciuse of it not being pub- lished ? Again chances for firemen to make from $95.00 to 125.00 per month and 1t was hampfered, tell me theu if that is working for the people and with the peo- ple and in the interest of the community. Here is ofie good ‘hing that I will like to put before you that is, it was imma- terial to me whether the men desirou: of the opportunity were members of the Federation which is an Interational Institution or the Labor Union wh ch is a local Institution. It was only that the people whom, you, President and Editor, profess to have so much interest in should be giv- en their chances in the commercial World. : I would like to know from the Presi- dent and Editor of the Herald and Chief of the Educational Department if‘such article is detrimental to the laboring masses. When it is proven then will 1 submit. For as I know and you know that the people needs to know more about the outer world than they at present do know. And it will help us to manage them bet- ter and get men who with International ideas while they are placed on the Board of Management will be of Intellectual use. But. the President and Chief of- the Educational Department being such a selfish, conspicuous and intolerant =—an that he will not have men who ne be- lieves” will argue with him on the B-ard
