From Yale, Oklahoma, Frank Little Exhorts Men Not to Scab on Fellow Workers
From the Payne County Farmer (Yale, Oklahoma) of December 13, 1911:
The Explanation.
Editor Payne Co. Farmer: In the issue of Dec. 6 there was a letter from Texas, by Mrs. J. B. MacClain. She states that, in that county, the sawmills are idle for the want of men.
The sawmill worker of Texas and Louisiana have been fighting the lumber trust, trying to force them to pay living wages. There has been a strike on in that country for some time. All working men should stay away. Be men. Don’t be a scab.-F. H. Little, organizer of the I. W. W.
