Show GROSS INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE Of UNION HEN Of SHLT LAKE CITY How it would make the real union man smile these days were lie to read & copy of the Smoot organ. The organ of Apostle Smoot and the church is lashing itself into a fnry in its "defense" "de-fense" of the union men of Salt Lake. The "defense'.' of the unions by Smoot 's organ has back of it a scheme to induce the" unions to nominate a county labor ticket and help elect the Smoot Eepublican ticket that will be nominated by Smoot and. the church leaders next week. The Herald which is the other wing of the morning editions of the church press organization is also urging the labor unions to put a ticket in the field in order to promote the interests of the two church tickets. Makes Them Laugh. ? It makes the average union man somewhat, some-what, angry at first and then he will laugh. It's a -funny game, the church organs "are playing. k Think .of the News and the o'ther Smoot organ as defenders de-fenders of union labor- Just go . back over the files of either. .; ;. . , . Why, the church is the deadly enemy or the "unions 4 has;, always been. "How will Apostle Smoot explain the attitude at-titude of the church and Its organs In the Utah Fuel company miners' strike. Dtt the church organs roast the union miners to a finish and didn't the church through its bishops furnish men to break the strike? Strikebreak ers by the score were sent into Carbon county by the church and everything possible done by the Lord's organs to drive the union men out of Utah. - At every turn the church has fought the unions. - Then, too, the evening organ of the church is not gotten out by a union office. Time and again the unions have tried to induce the evening organ of the Lord to put in a union force, but in every ease the unions have been turned down cold. Understand the Game. But the union men understand the situation. They are not the fojols the organs of the church and Smoot take them to be. They will show what they think of the- two wings of the church on Sundayr- Ask any union man this question: "What Utah organization Is the worst enemy of the unions??" - -This will be his answer: "The Mormon organizations." WelL Apostle Penrose edits the evening organ of the church. Aostle6moot directs the policy of the morning erg&n of the church. The Democratic organ of the church i--wrtder the same influence. ' .Now, isn't it really; laughable for the repansentatives . of this, the deadliest enemy of the unions, to pose as the friend of organized' labor and seek to make the unions its toolsf It is an insult to the intelligence of everv union man in fait Lake. |
