The Fifth Annual Convention Of

ance Union of West Virginia will
meet at Parkersburg June 9th
and 28th.
Local Unions are urged to in.
form themselves in regard to the
basis of representation, and send
in full quotas of delegates.
This year is frsught with gravest
interests to our organization, as
we'll as to the homes of West Vir-
ginia and it is meet that we earn
estly counsel together.
So deeply do we feel the need of
harmony and sympathy between
the Home forces, that we cordially
invite all organizations having
for their object the destruction of
the Liquor Traffic, to send frater-
nal delegates. And lest this may
exclude some earnest friends whose
cooperation we desire and need,
we open wider our doors, and ask
such friends, living in communi-
ties without these organizations,
but who wish to aid US in our
struggle against the legalized
Saloon, to call an informal meeting
and send representatives to sit in
counsel with US.
On behalf of the local Union at
Parkersburg which will provide en-
tertainment, we urge you to send
in promptly the names of all dele
gates and visitors to Mrs. NJ. M
Snow.
Yours for the Prohibition of the
Liquor Traffic,

Where to Sow The Seed.


Mrs. J. R. Nichols, President Of
Indiana W. G. II. u, gives this val
liable suggestion on distribution OF
literature: "The sooner our women
learn to quit wasting work and lit
erature at metropolitan centers'
and spread it over the rural distr cts
where it will be appreciated and
bear fruit, the better for the
cause of prohibition. | wish for
this one season we could turn our
whole force loose in every school
house in the country, and upon
every picnic and fair ground, and
see the result I would be willing
to predict great things.

NEW YORK NOTES.

American Section Monday evening Report of Reception Committee for the dinner on the 2Sth. inst.
 Next Friday evening Dr. l. K. Funk the prohibitionist, will lecture at the Labor Lyceum on High License Not a Remedy" It will be interesting to know how the speaker proposes to deal with the evil he wants to remedy, and a large audience will no doubt gather to hear Dr. Funk.
 Here's the way S. E. Shevitch put it to Dana last Monday:-"Will you allow me, not as an Anarchist or a Socialist, but simply as citizen of a presumably free country, to ask you whether our police in Chicago and elsewhere are to be recognized as sole judges of what subjects may or may not be discussed at public meetings, and whether such meetings are to be permitted" And do you consider such a state of affairs con- sistent with the true principles of the 'Jetfersonian Democracy you have al ways upheld and advocated v Now then, Dana, answer "a citizen of pre- sumably free country"

,luster as he likes;

Let Cro'sus bluster as he likes; The truth Is, it is he who strikes" Strikes down the wage of honest toil To swell of crazy Greed the spoil Strikes faith and drives from public
 martS,
 Strikes freedom from submissive hearts. Strikes with a blight the home of labor, Strikes cold the heart would help its
 neighbor,
 Strikes courage, every throb congealing Of noble pride and fellow feeling Strikes on our chains and makes them
 rattle,
 To scare pale slaves from giving battle Strikes with corrupting laws and courts, Pampering vices of all sorts. Strikes down the peoples legislators, Transforming them to peculators. Strikes at the root of confidence. And makes our freedom false pretense. Strikes from ourselves the life and spirit We from our fathers should inherit. Strikes-O oh, can ) Ou meaner seek? Strikes manhood through the pal i'd
 cheek
 The breadItss board, the mute con-
 plaint
 Ol Wlte anu chllu, by thlS cOnStralnt Holding a firm, relentless grip. Saying, "Gield, or sink the social ship, '' And chucklin5 as the iron prod Cuts hearts that. yet dare trust in God. In demonstrations manifold They own no higher God than gold Indulging teachings which deceive, As did the serpents talk to Eve, Subserve an evil powers control As turns the needle to the pole. Kill Christ once more with Judas kiss, And hide with flowers the black abyss; Each bond the social frame that wraps Tending to bring about collapse. That wrecked humanity may groan, "Welcome, despair, our anchors goner' Those who should be example makers, Are of all vlrtues-undertakers If ye such serpents strike" oh, men, Strike harder when you strike again, Let not their loud insulting hiss Scare you the tyrant's rod to kiss. Rouse to the glory of the strife, The battle for a nations life! When such a cause your ardor fires, "Strike! till the last armed foe eXpires!' ''Better to sink beneath the shock, Than perish piecemeal on the rock.

Let me remind you, my friends, of the American practice of lynChing which even to this day exists in the Western and Southern States; how sel- dom the courts dare to prosecute lynch ing parties, let alone to sentence, espe- cially when their victim is a negro.
