Show UNION MEN ARE OUTSPOKEN. One of the most prominent labor leaders of Ogden has congratulated ITie Standard on its editorial, expressing sentiments of othe; union leaders in opposition to the Wheeler and Crosby ticket. "We are home owners," said the union man, "and refuse to be imposed im-posed upon. The South suffered from the carpetbagger and I, as one Ogdenite, do not intend to inflict such a misfortune on my home com- j munity. I have asked dozens of men if they could tell me of Mr. Wheeler's past and not one has been able to answer. He has been in the community a little over two years, and in one of the unions three months. As I understand the situafion, Mr. Wheeler is not a bona fide labor man, and is a stranger to this community. Is it not a reflection on the intelligence of the union mer of this city, among whom are the I very best of citizens, leaders in their callings, that an outsider a man without a union card has to be picked up, pushed through the Hod I Carriers' union and placed before the solid, substantial union men of die city as the only available man in all the unions of Ogden ? For myself, I reject this view and I do so feeling I am best serving the union cause by preventing a blunder of the worst kind developing into a calamity ca-lamity for Ogden and the unions or Ogden." |
