Can anybody help me? I am an "American, a first class union carpenter and can make anything that can be made of wood. Would like a position downtown, working with my tools, or would like to have charge of some building as house carpenter.

It is nothing but a sim ple questioning to bring out the truth. But if you wish to see a real third de gree get an accident or sickness pol icy in some insurance company and break a leg, hand or neck. I am an electrician, and, thank God, a union man. An agent begged me to take out an accident policy. I did and finally got hurt I was third-degreed a dozen times, bulldozed into having an X-ray pic ture taken which cost $23, compelled to see their doctor and my own sev eral times and had to get many state ments and certificates from my phy sician answering the same questions I had answered before. I also re ceived blanks for questions, which I had to answer again and again, in hopes of trapping me, I presume.

"Let the working people practice non-resistance." Mr. Sweeney, do you mean that if the working people are ex ploited by their masters they should not go on strike, but simply take it good-naturedly? The working peo ple have been doing this long enough, and what is the result? Why have, we educators if not to awaken the people to resist this evil, for it cer tainly is a great evil? Perhaps I did not understand your letter correctly. But pray do tell me what you meant by "the working people should practice non-resistance." Are you averse to science? Do you think it will make greater slaves of us than we are now? .Non-resistance is based on theo logical religion and preachers cer tainly practice it; at least, they tell the people to practice it just to keep them in submission. The difference between science and religion is that science believes in resistance. This is the very breath of modern civil ization. On the other hand, religion, with its non-resistance, does not $) make any progress, but meets with defeat, just as science advances. Then least developed are the most averse-. . to change, but you are going through the process of evolution whether you i like it or not If you want to be more posted on the theory of non-resistance I advise- AAAAAMMaAiiMi
