Starvation.

Starvation stared the MIXERS in West
Virginia who are on strike, in the
face, as an Injunction against food is
the latest decree issued by United
States court in labor disputes. Such
an Injunction was issued Monday by
federal Judge ID. f. Keller, of Charles
ton, and by its terms it Restraints friends
o; union labor from supplying food or
other supplies to the striking coal
miners in the state, even though they
be starving. A violation of this order
is made punishable by Jail sentence for
contempt of court, and by fines. The
Injunction is said to have been secured
to prevent the officials of the United
Mineworkers of America from send
ing any portion of the great relief fund
now being contributed by the bitumin-
in Virginia who are lighting the battle
for higher wages and the recognition
of the union.
If this order of court holds good it
means that the striking miners are to
be forced into submission by the very
fear Of starvation, of not only them
selves but their families, and is regard
ed everywhere as the most stringent
and far reaching order ever issued by
any court in America. 1t is an injunc-
ton against food which the employed
would give an unemployed, and would
result in death to the miner should be
refuse to return to work at such a
price as the coal baron deems fair
remuneration for a days work. 1t
would mean more than this, if it is not
speedily dissolved, as history has proven
that hunger drives men insane, and
mad men do not stop to value life when
death comforts them. The present
labor trouble is deplored by every
man in this country, but it should not be
made worse by melting men to vio-
lence. 1t is neither humane or Just
that men should be legally starved or
made submissive by starvation-that
the coal barons, or any other corpor-
alton may win in struggle between |
capital and labor. Monarchs aud /
kings may lead their subjects TO the |
slaughter, but IN the United States the /
Subjects are as great as are the elect
cd rulers. -Fond du Lac Reporter.

The Milwaukee Journal, as manipu-
lated by the republicans, certainly per-
forms some queer antics. Last spring
it supported David Rose for mayor of
Milwaukee. just now it is afraid that
David is going to try to get into the
gubernatcrial chair Of Wisconsin, and
is bringing up everything possible
against the mayor TO prevent such
thing happening. It's supposed strong
est point is that it will cost the city Of
Milwaukee upwards of SEC, 600 to elect
another mayor. If the democrats of
Wisconsin, want David Rose for their
candidate for governor, whether it costs
Milwaukee $4,000 or $40, 600 will cut no
figure, and we do not think anyone
with an ounce of brains, in that city or
out of it, win consider anything else
but that the people have a right to
choose those whom they care to have in
charge of governmental affairs. Yours
Is poor argument, Mr.. Journal. The
PHoT really has no choice for governor,
unless it be the Hon Neal Brown, of
this city; but whether it is Brown,
Rose, Jones, or anyone else whom the
democrats decide upon, he will be
selected because of his fitness for the
position, and reg rdless of whatever
municipal offices that he may hold
If man is wanted 10 hold important
positions because of his ability, he
SHOULD make sacrifices, so should his
friends and so should municipalities.

of all who know Mc Lamont that he
would make an ideal candidate and
further, that he is capable of making
one of the best superintendent the
state mas ever had, but there is one
thing which stands in the way to his
becoming candidate, and Jnat is MIR.
Lamont will not accept the nomination.
He mas SAID to PmoT reporter that he
has given the matter some eonSidera-
ton, and for personal reasons could
not accept the nomination if the same
were rendered him. If the people of
Marathon county had a voice in the
matter they would say that they could
not spare MIR. Lamont; that his services
were needed in the present position
which he has so ably filed for the past
eight years-Couniy Superintendent of
schools. He has been a very strong
factor in establishing in this eoe8,y,
the Marathon County Training School
for Teachers and tile School of Agricul-
ture and Domestic. Economy, and has
made many changes which have placed
our county schools in the front ranks of
the very best in the state, and his
services are needed right along in this
