    March 5, 1912

    My Dear Son,

    …The country is certainly getting in an uproar, everything and everybody dissatisfied. All the miners in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are out on strike for minimum wage. The masters and the goverment both said it could not be granted. The miners said it had to be or no work. The goverment now says they are entitled to it. Must have it and 65% of the owners are willing to conceed it. Wales don't want to give in to them as the Chairman of the Mine Owners and large owner of mines, highly educated haveing an A.M. run against a Socialist in the last election and got beat. And he says if they conceed the minimum wage the next thing they will want the mine. They told him that Nationalism of the mines etc. was their object. And it certainly looks as though it was coming fast.

    Well Walter I will enclose you leaflet with picture of Gospel Hall and let me say that the preacher is fine. I never heard his eaqual. As an orator I think no one can touch him. Except my old friend Debs. Of course their subjects differ, for Debs teaches the best you can get on earth and Mr. Dunn teaches the best for Heaven. And wile I conceed Mr. Debs method is fine, I think Dunn is superfine.…

    I hope you get good opportunitys to prove your ability in your chosen proffesion by numerrous succesfull operations as I want to see the 3Ds regonized as the leaders in their respective callings, being Dandy, Debs, and Dunn.

    Goodbye and may the Great Eternal One guide you.

    Your affectionate Father
