Wm. M. Tupper of the Ra- porel Line is here today discharging cargo at this port. The schooner Vigi- lant is alongside transhipping. . The steamers which came to Frederik- sted yesterday landed but a few bags of mail, and it is advised that the remain- ing porti)n (including the letter-mail which is the most important) was stored under cargo and- could not be reached. The result is that up to the present no le‘ters have been reccived nor the bal- ance of the other elasses of mail. This disorderly manner of treating the mails is quite unprecedented and should not occur. The mails are as imporiant, if not more important than cargo and should be the first thing available to land. The film ‘‘Tue Girl Os My Dreams” exhibited at the Christiansted Theatre last night was indeed one of th2 most splendid complete dramas shown here. The attendance was not what the picture warranted, and we tak> this opportinity of recommending it to the patrons of the West End Movies who should not miss seeing this grand productioa Frederiksted, 27th April 1921.

Correspondence To the FEditor '‘St. Croix Avis.”’ Dear Sir:— In your issue of Wednesday there appeared an article signed Sam adorned with prejudice of the blackest type against the Labor Urion. I only wish to remind the writer that wherever a large gathering of people organize to promote their interest and defend themselves against exploitation, dissensions among their ranks wili arise from time to time. Dissensions arise among nations and communities, just as in societies. This does not mean that misunderstandings or differences be- tweena group working tor the publle destroys the usefulness of that group. When a mass meeting was held to pro- test against two District “Jourt judges for the Virgin Islands, and Mr. Folmar Andersen and Lawyer A. E. Stakemann spoke #n ovposition to the Government’s views; when a mass meeting was held so protest against the building of a hospittal on the King’s Wharf, also in opposition to the Government’s plan, there was no thought that the fabrics of the communi- ty were destroyed and the Government overthrown. The difference of opinion between the Government and a certain section of the people did not, and could not be accepted as a ‘‘split up’’ of the communiky, anymore than we can consid- er differences between individuals in the Union as a ‘‘split up’’ of the Union. If we lay aside personal feelinys and prejudices and take things op their raerits, is there any that have braved the dangerous storms as the Labor Union men. And have not the people of St. Croig)c benefitted by their unselfish princi- ples? Chabert pays ;littleheed to unfounded criticisms, for he knows it is the lot of all men placed in similar positions. What would stagger the loudest of our local politicians hardly moves Chabert; and what would make other men turn their backs forever on those they help, ecause him, in his brocadness c¢f mind to realize that there is much to be done in the way of upiift, Such weapons as are thrust against him by cowardly hands are too .dull to cut him down. He is not a ‘‘Boulshevist’’, He believes in calm persistence jn opposition to direet actin, and with him the interest of the
