Letter to Isaac McAllister Waddell, 24 February 1892

P.O. Box. B. Salt Lake City, Utah. . ISAAC M. WADDELL, ESQ., City. Dear Brother: The class of work which you have been engaged on a salery to do for the Church we find can now be done by our present office staff; and as the Church is under the necessity of curtailing its expenses in order to meet its obligations and the demands which are continually made upon it, we beg to inform you that your services will not be needed after the close of the present month, at which time you will please turn over to Brother L.

Letter to Abraham Owen Smoot, 24 February 1892

Dear Brother: Replying to your favor based upon the enquiry made of you by Bishop T. J. Parmley, of Scofield r regarding members of the church joining the Knights of Labor, we will say: Our views with regard to [secret] societies have not changed to any marked extent from those [which [y]ou] have heard the officers of the Church publicly express. We believe that it is improper to array brother against brother, or class against classe or for one class to organize against anoth- er, whether it be workmen against employers or employers against workmen. There is no need of such organizations in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the [Governnen] its powers are fully recognized and exercised, is a panacea [for severs] ill, a method of righting every wrong; and it is only when the order of the gospel is departed from, that there is any excuse for institutions such [as the] one you mention. On the other hand, we regard them as means, in the hands of the Evil One, of dividing the saints, and too often they are made, by designing men, the instruments in ef- fecting evil towards God's people. It is difficult to keep the questions in which we are most intereste[d] [out] of sight and hearing of these orders, though it is so stated in their charters, and when they are brought forward and action taken, the result is generally undesirable from our standpoint. Your Brethren in the gospel, (Signed) Wilford Woodruff Jos F. Smith.
