Raze The Armories.

That is what the Rev. J. A. 3. Wilson, paster of a Brooklyn Methodist church says should be done. Here are his truth aden words: “The men have made the great mistake in this strike of taking a contest with men who were their superiors in resources. They not only get their regular pay but they get their dividends. Were the workingmen to be treated in the same way labor troubles.would cease. “Every armory in the city is a menace to the liberty of the wcorkingman and ought to be torn down. They are built to protect corporate capital. I’ll tell you how to solve two great problems. Destroy all of your armories and let the city build on their sites ten-story tenement houses with elevators-—model tenements —where the working people can be housed decently and healthfully. The armories have all got to be razed to the ground. The people will rise in their might and destroy them with their ballots. You may laugh at me and say it’s foolish talk, and that we can’t do it. We will do it. We will make it a city question if need be, but they must come down.”
