AMAZING SAMPLE OF
NEWLANDS' NATURE
Professions and Practices at Variance
The WOuId-be United States
Senator's Acts in TOnOpah.

The gigantic struggle now being
fought TO the bitter end in tine great
coal fields of the east over the tights
of laboring men to organize in self
protection has become national and
international in its scope and effect.
Bilionaire coal and railroad combines
now confront the desperate miners
with all the military power of Penn
sylvanla. AS for the United States
government, according to the coal
barons, it is powerless to interfere,
and the general people can freeze
and be damned.
This far away from those terrible
scenes, here in Tonopah where the
principles of unionism is recognized
and supported by all employers, the
liberal minded public and laboring
men are raising a benefit fund.
They had heard Francis g. New
lands impressive appeals for the
votes of the labor union organiza
tions, and had listened to his protes-
tations of everlas ting friendship-of
the pressing need of him as an ally in
high position, whose sympathies were
with them. whose power would aid
and protect them.
A delegation of the unions, author
lied to receive and transmit funds
destined to uphold the rights and pre-
vent the starvation of workingmen,
had absorbed so much misplaced con
fdence in Francis g. Newlands that
they called upon him for a contribu-
ton, whose 500 would be vastly less
in proportion than the 81 of a labor
ing man ...
Not 500, rot so, not 81, not one
cent
Thereafter the rich member OF
numberess fat corporations lodged
that committee entirely.
Let the free and fair voters Of the
state think of this fact Let then
think of it in conncctiod with another
act of Francis G. Newlands. The
