Dear Comrades:
		   Enclosed find U.S.
money order for $30 for membership
payments due for months of April
May & June, sorry I could not report
for duty this spring as I expected to,
because I could not raise the amount
desired, but I expect to come some-
times next winter if I don't get
swallowed up in the war.  I am
just the right age for the army
wouldn't mind fighting if there
was a deep enough cause, but I
think it is a Wall Street affair, feed
the people at home, and ship no
munitions of war and things will
be O.K. that's my idea of it.

     Life in Detroit is very burdensome
it takes half of a mans wages to pay
rent let alone other neceseties.

     Kindly notify Western
Comrade about a change in
my address my former addr.
was 204 Frontenac Blvd.

     hoping to hear from you
soon I remain Yours fra-
ternally

                     [Jos. Glaser]
