Editor Industrial Worker:
I hare told the following story of
my travels to different locals on sev
eral occasion i, snch as entertainments
and the like, with the result that I
have an overwhelming number of
requests for a copy. So if you see fit
to publish it in your paper it will save
me a whole lot of writing “at this
time.” Yours, J. P. F.
For the benefit of the women pres
ent I will give aa illustration of what
humor is. Women, you know', are
supposed to know nothing about
humor. Of course, some can see
humor in the idea of a revolutionist
trying to be funny, but to come back
to the illustration. A little boy was
walking along a country lane eating
green apples and singing “nearer My
God to Thee.” Those who see the
humor in that are there, those who
can’t are nowhere.
Jamestown,you know, is on a moun
tain, and naturally it is quite cold
there. We had a late spring anyway.
When I was there late in April it was
about down to zero. One day I said
to a fellow: “Do you have winter
here all the year around” Ho said,
“I don’t know; I have only lived here
11 months!” I was determined not to
get stung again, at least not in the
same place. So to make sure 1 said
to the next man : “Have you lived in
Jamestown all your life?” He said,
“not yeti”
I went into a restaurant and said to
the girl: “Do yoi\ serve lobsters
here?” She said, “Yes, what will
you have!” 1 said, “Give me a cup
of coffee!” .
While in New Bedford I met a fire
man off a beat. You know I used to
Are on the lakes, eo I thought I would
“talk shop.” I said, “Hello Jack,
firing on some boat around here?”
He said, “Well, I’ll put you wise;
I’m stoking on the flagship.” I said,
“How does she feed?” “Ob,” said
he, “she is the bumest chewings you
ever scoffed. ” Said 1, “Is she warm?”
He said, “Warm? Nothing to it.
She’s so hot your sweat turns into
steam and blows holes in your
clothes!” And 1 said to myself,
“These fellows around here are a lot
of sharks. I guess I better move on
before I get whaled.”
On the boat from Providence to New
York some of the passengers got sea
sick. 1 said to an Irishman who was
leaning over the rail: “What’s the
matter, Pat, got a weak 6tomach?”
Said he, “Weak hell! I’m throwing
it farther than anybody else!”
On my way east I went into a mis
sion to hear the mopes give the Lord
his orders. There was a railroad man
there who had just got converted.
This fellow could talk English, all
right, but his talk was most slang and
when they called on him to pray he
prayed thusly—there is nothing the
matter with it only the slang:
(Jh Lord, now that 1 have flagged
thee, lift my feet off the rough road
of life and plant them safely on the
deck of the train of salvation. Make
all couplings in the train with the
strong link of thy love and may my
hand-lamp be the bible. Heavenly
Father, 1 pray thee keep all switches
closed that lead off on a siding,
especially those with a blind end.
And Lord, let every semaphore block
along the line show the white light of
hope, that i may make the run of life
without stopping, and Heavenly
Father, I pray thee, give me the Ten
Commandments as a schedule, and
when I have made the run, and have
on scheduled time pulled into the
great dark station of death, may
thou, the superintendent of the uni
verse, say with a smile, well done
thou good and faithful servant, come
forward and sign the pay-roll, and re
ceive your check, for eternal happi
ness. Amen.”
Well, I wras rather interested in this
fellow. I thought he was quite a gen
uis in his way; so I put the propo
sition of industrial unionism up to
him and he took to it like a duck to
water. He joined the Industrial Work
ers of the World, and on my return
from the east I stopped off at the
same town to attend an I. W. W.
meeting, and behold, who was the
speaker bat Mr. Railroadman! When
he was introduced he spoke about as
follows: ‘‘Mr. Chairman and fellow
wage slaves, you mopes may have it
all doped out that this is your coun
try and that you are free born Amer
ican citizens, but I’ll tell you now,
those who sing that song are the big
gest marks that ever came down the
pike. In the language of the greatest
d >pe fiend on the stage, ‘You are way
toward the badland. ’ You have all
been in the down-and-out club so
long that if you had a dollar for
every bottle of wine you ever drank
you would have about thirty cents!
Speaking for myself. I’ll put you
wise; I haven’t had my feet under
the table since Abraham Lincoln died.
I’m so way toward the badland that
if a suit of clothes cost a cent • I
couldn’t bay the arm-hole' of - a vest!
And what’s more, its about the same
with the whole working class. Lew
Hawkins hw tk*n down; flan. Ho
■07s: ‘Jaat look sronnd nnd yon can
•os. The painters and paper hangers
are always op against the wall. The
tinsmith is always going up the spout.
The store business is grate, but every
thing goes up the flue. Everything is
tough with the butcher and he has to
keep chopping away to make ends
meat. Of course everything is all
write with the author and the doctors
are enjoyiqg bad health! Everything
Is on tiok with the wabchmaker, there
is a strike every hour and he is always
running down his own works! When
times get hard he lays off the hands!
The shoemaker is well heeled, but he
has to keep pegging away to save bis
sole. He will hang onto a thread until
the last stitch. The baker has lots of
dough, but unless he is well bread he
h»s to' loaf, then he will crust up and
crumble away To make a long story
short, although the wash woman has
everything in soak, she’s the only one
that is hanging out along the line to
night. ”
At the conclusion of this rather re
markable speech a man in the aud
ience arose and said: “Mr. Speaker,
if what you have just said is true,
how in heaven’s name do you account
for the Atlantic ocean !’’
RESOLUTIONS
OF SYMPATHY
Nome, Alaska, Feh. 15, 1908.
Whereas; The Mine Workers of the
Tanana are engaged in a struggle
against those oppressive conditions of
labor would be forced upon them by
the greed of the operators in that dis
trict, and
Whereas; The Mine Workers hare
conducted their struggle in a per
fectly lawful manner, and the district
has been absolutely free from crime,
or even a breach of such rendition of
the law as is doled out by a judiciary
appointed by wealth to ajudicate for
wealth, and
Whereas; The Roosevelt administra
tion (with that alacrity to obey which
has characterized the Executive when
ever corporate wealth gave the com
mand) has, according to telegraphic
advices ordered the troops at Fort
Gibbon to proceed to the S2ene of the
strike tho lawlessness was absolutely
nomexistant, and
Whereas; as such action has no
other ultimate purpose but that of
bulldosing the striking miners into
submission to the will of the oper
ators, be it
Resolved ; That we the members of
Local No. 240, W. F. M. do hereby
extend our heartiest sympathy to our
fellow workers of the Tanana and de
clare ourselves at all times ready to
render them such aid as lies within
our power, knowing well an injury to
one is an injury to all.
And we furthermore protest in the
strongest manner against the action
of the present administration at Wash
iugtou in ordering the despatch if
soldiers to a lawabidiug community,
thus tending to inflame feelings natui
ally aroused by the class war, and
cause those very crimes this Presiden
tial action is facticiously declared to
prevent, be it further
Resolved; That copies of this reso
lution lie sent to the local press, the
United Mine Workers of the Tanana,
The Miners Magazine, delegate Tom
Cale, and President Theodore Roose
velt.
Passed by unanimous consent of
