APPEAL TO LABOR
To Affiliate Under the Proud Banner
of the A. F. of l..


of the A. F. of l..
An appeal to all wage workers to or
ganize and federate has been issued
by the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. 1t follows:
''Throughout our country struggle
Is raging between the oppressor and
the oppressed, the possessors of wealth
and the laborers. The concentration
Of industry and wealth is the order of
the day. Everywhere the workers must
suffer disastrous results unless they
organize and federate to protect and
promote their mutual interests.
"In this combination and concentra-
ton of wealth the possessors permit no
sectional or state lines to interfere with
their power, and it Therefore behooves
the toilers, the wealth producers, to
unite and federate regardless of wheth-
err they are located east, west, north
or south, irrespective of sex, politics,
color or religion. The hope of the
workers, the prayer of all our people
for justice and right and the perpet-
uation of republican institutions lie in
organized labor.
Recognizing these essential truths,
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor appeals to all
wage workers Of whatever trade or
calling to organize unions where such
do not exist, to join those already or
ganized, to form unions and interna-
tional unions Of their respective trades
and callings and to affiliate in one

1t is because Of the disagreeable and
dangerous place the miner has to work
in that the mine oss and coal in
spector does not want to enter the
mines and dock the coal as it is load
ed. but prefers to stay at the break
err in the bright sunlight and ruin the
miners days work and thus starve his
wife and children to gain favor with
hard hearted mine owing corpora
ton. If the boss were below with the
miners the company would have to pay
MIN more also, and such course the
law breaking coal company does not
want.
In the Schuylkill district coal is found
in veins generally, which crop out at
the surface. They pitch downward
from the surface. These veins are US
ually mined upwards so that the miner
coal vein which skaters it and either
throws it down Or enables him to pry
it out. The loosened coal falls down the
tunnel like chute and is then loaded
and drawn up out Of the mine. One
case is reported from this region where
by one blast the miner loosened so
much coal which came running
down the chute that he went to Europe,
made a visit and returned home before
his helper had loaded and got out all
the coal and rubbish. This famous
blast is the one which the mine owners
always delight in referring to for the
purpose of showing the bonanza a min
er has. On the whole, however, the
dangers and hardships in the two dis
tricts are about alike.-The Indepen-

Tied to Teachers Apron Strings.

The school officials here have been
surprised at the remarkable good order
maintained by a teacher of a school,
which heretofore had a bad reputation
FOR decorum, says Reading dispatch
to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Be-
ing asked for an explanation she said:
THE best way to punish boys is to
humiliate them. l don't use the ruler,
but 1 have extra long apron strings.
To these I tie the boys, and this cures
them, if nothing else will. They have
to sit close to me on the platform, and
this they detest. Yes. I have great
faith in the power Of the apron string"

One Franc n Shot.

When the siege of Paris began and
festive little parties of overconfident
inhabitants of the city swarmed into
the suburbs to see the French outposts,
there was among the latter a good deal
OF rivalry in the trade of laying down
rugs and tarpaulins for those civilian
sharpshooters who bought shots at a
franc shot at the enemy's outposts.
Surgeon General Gordon, who repre-
sented the medical department Of the
British army during the war, speaks,
in a book he wrote, of the French out
posts making as much as 40 or so
francs day each by crying out,
''Shots at the enemy francw hum
dreds Of their customers being women.

and the sword. was like a fair, and the
