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. : : JOSEPH A. THOMAS. Captain of the N. C. C. An Open Letter To Chisf Os The Edu- cational Dapariment Aad The Presi- ~ dent Os The Labor Union. Gentlemen:— ‘ : As you have said that our people work for less pay than theLabor Union people and longer hours I am telling you square and plain that you are a liar if vou have said so. The other gentleman that i= frying o make the people belicve that he has been =1 (AR G N a V 1 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 mentioned is lieing 'without of his position and he is no surpr se to the intellectual element of Liis communicy, more so men and wome. who have always had the interest of this country at heart. - 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. : . . If you are going to institute any law suit please insiitute 1t against me and not the newsparers, as I am responsible for what I have said ard will substanti ate all. There are bigger guns 10 e serve if you should try and make som: PUDNY A6LSWETS. Yours truly, : MORRIS E. DAVIS.
