A GREAT many letters are received at
this Office from the coal camps of Ere
mont county, but the statements are so
conflicting that it is impossible to publish
them all-and some of them cannot be
used at all. If the coal miners of Ere
mont will thoroughly organize and come
to an understanding, they will find it
much easier to obtain their rights, and
when the various writers from there
begin to agree in their statements, there
will be no difficulty IN securing the CO.
operation of the organized workingmen
of other localities. So long as there is
no organization and no understanding
the men will be pulling in different di-
rections, and only bad results will follow.
This is intended in a friendly spirit, and
as a bit of advice. Unite, and be men
and brothers, and you can compel the
cold-bloeded operators TO do you justice,

A LENGTHY communication from the
pen of Brother WhYte viii be found in
this issue. 1t is an attempt to show that
the Greenbackers are in advance of
Socialists, but the fact is, the good points
in the article are based entirely upon
Socialism. and are not recognized or un-
derstood by one greenhacker out Of
ten thousand. The article presumes a
whole lot of foolish things and asks a
dozen or so ridiculous questions, which
all goes to show plainly that the writer
attempts to .eriticise doctrine in detail
which he knows little of. He is all right
so far as interest goes, but he entirely
forgets rent and profit, either of which
are greater curses than usl1ry. shall

In nearly every large city lnlthe coun-
try to-day there are papers devoted to
the cause of labor, and many of them.
are superior publications from the simple
,standp point Of joutnalisn. But, as con-
sequence, Of the particular field which
they occupy, their financial support, as a;
rule, is limited therefore, they have not
had the facilities for obtaining the news
as promptly as'those papers which are
backed by the politicians and corpora
tionists, with a telegraph service at their

Another cause of the social evil is the

THE president sent to the senate for
confirmation ON the fourth instant a
batch of nominations, among which was
that of John Jarrett, of Pennsylvania,
for the position of commissioner of the
newly created bureau of labor statistics.
Though no definite information has
been received it is presumed that the
senate has confirmed the nomination.
John Jarrett has been prominent man
in labor organizations in the city OF
Pittsburg, although during the past year
or so, he has been quiet on this head.
He was recommended for the position OF
commissioner by few, but the labor
papers of his own state did not support
him. Mayor Powderly was the almost
unanimous choice of the labor organiza-
tions and journals of the country, but
there never has been much hope of his
nomination, because of the difference
between his political complexion and
that of the president, Mr.. Jarrett has
the ability to properly conduct the
bureau, and there is little doubt that he
will do all that can be done under the
provisions governing his Office.

Il THE attention of the editor of this
paper has been called to. the account
given by the daily press ofIthe killing
by William Allen of Mr.. Samson and the.
verdict of ejustlce of the peace when
the matter was investigated {?) before
him. 1t is claimed by worthy neighbors
of both the murderer and the deceased
that the statements contained in the
daily papers were wholly incorrect, and
that the verdict of the justice was not at
all in accordance with the facts in the,
case. Samson was on his own ground
when he was shot by Allen, and not
tresspassing, as was reported. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was
murder but the justice of the peace
declaredsit ajustifable homicide ~ The
people are familiar with the main facts
in the case, and it is needless to repeat
them here but desire to call the at
tention! of the readers of this paper to
the fact that Samson was a poor man,
while his murderer is man of wealth,
and this fact explains the 'justifable
homicidep verdict y A man who has
plenty of money can commit any crime
and escape punishment from the admin
I.istrators of the law, but a Vagrant, with
out money or friends, gets the full ex-
tent of the penalties. This is demon
strated every day Of the world, and if
the honest working people cannot see it,
and are not drawing lessons from it,
they will have sudden awakening some
of these days. All the; thought / have
to offer to the victims of the ditch,
monopolists of Jefferson county, or to
the robbed producers of any part of the
country, is that they will get justice when
they compel it, and not before. b..

It is labor and capital struggling for

them in stores and factories she must
occupy only the Indifferent places and
get only small pittance of salary. Is it
any wonder that in her distress she
