Fight Was One lt- Higher Standard OF Living For
egners Are Fast Becoming Anericanized WITH
All The Desires OF Progressive People.
Labors' Wants And Hopes
Are BoundlesS.

The great strike Of the anthracite
coal miners has passed into history All
that remains is the investigation and
decision Of the commission appointed
by President Roosevelt. The work of
the commission will be watched with
interest, and their decision will be
awaited with patience. We have no
fear of the result. The miners have
no fear. They know of the justice of
their claims. They know what may be
expected of a fair and impartial tri-
bunal. Their strike and the causes
which led to it summed up in nut
shell, was simply a struggle for a
"higher standard Of living"
Who will deny them that? Who will
say that the men who for years have
struggled in the bowels Of the earth
for a pittance, digging coal, that has
made millions of dollars for a chosen
few are not entitled to a greater share
Of that which they produce? How Of
ten during the struggle have the min
sars been referred to as foreigners. Yet
same men, surrounded by American
environments are fast becoming
Americans, in the greatest sense Of

CAPT, FAY STANDS FOR
THE PEOPLES RIGHTS
His Sentiment is Strongly for Those Who
Work-Is Thoroughly Up-to-date on the
Questions of the Hour-Has No Desire to
Represent Any Class or Section in Con-
oreSS.

Mr.. Fay contributed the following
interview to the Labor World this week
which shows plainly that he is thor
oughly up-to-date on the questions of
the hour: my ambition" he said, is
not to represent in congress any Sec
ton of this district or any class, but
the whole congressional district, and
all it's various sections and classes.
NV sentiments are strongly with all
those who work. have believed from
my youngest days, and do still, that
economic conditions have not been so
regulated as to give to the men who
labors, his full proportion Of the wealth
which he produces. This is true. not
only of those who are generally called
the working class, and who are now
organizing themselves into unions, but
it is true, as we'll, of those who labor on
the farm, whether as farm owners or
farm laborers. We have seen the day
in this country when the farmer him.
self organized a union which cul1ni-
mated in a great political movement,
the Granger movement. There is no ra-
dical dividing line between those who
work upon the soil and those who han
die the products Of farm and mine.
There is no class that is more natur-
ally interested in the prevention of la
Dor troubles in our great cities than
those who raise the grain and the We
getables. It Is a necessity for them
that their products be shipped. The
whole effort of the year may be lost
in a single week by labor troubles for
which the farmers themselves are in
nowise responsible. 1t is to the farmer
quite as essential as to the laborer
that some one should represent them in
congress whose sympathies shall be
SO broad as to appreciate the position
Of the classes in the great industrial
struggles that may develop.
The farmer and the workingman
alike need some one who, with due re-

gard to the constitutional rights of all.
will bring to a speedy termination such
trouble as may develop. Such work.
tending to bring about peace between
capital and labor, cannot be done by
one who has not the confidence of the
laboring class. President Roosevelt
said when he was elected an honorary
member Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, that he had never
been asked by a labor union to do any
thing which, in good conscience, he
could not do. I concur in this senti-
ment. The employer and the employee
alike will find, in my opinion, that the
organization Of labor is of value to
both. Organized labor is responsible
labor.
It must be remembered that we are
now passing through transition per-
1od to which we will have to accommo-
date ourselves gradually, and hope to
be one Of those who, in a political way,
will do something toward working out
the solution Of the economic problems
which face us. The solution cannot
come through narrowness. The time
is passed when the demands of the
man who furnished the labor to create
wealth may be treated with indiffer-
ence. We cannot say: Let these
alone; nor can we say, in all honesty:
Make this government Of any class.
The great struggle of our time is
against special privileges, and if I
understand the attitude of the farmer
it is also that of the laborer, namely,
that special governmental privileges by
which the few may become wealthy
at the expense of the many must be de-
MED. The purpose of the government
is to hold the scale Of justice with even
hand: to treat all alike; to do violence
to the rights of none; and by insuring
justice, and only justice, to the
strong man, we will be certain that
nothing less than justice shall be done
the weak.

progress. Labor will continue to or
ganize and fight until it secures it's
share of that which it produces. La
ter, through a course of development,
it may learn to vote, as we'll as to
strike for some Of the good things it
is struggling for.
When we say that labor is being rob-
bed, we mean that others are applying
to themselves something that rightful-
ly belongs to labor. The greatest op-
position to labor's desire for higher
wages is on account of the theory that
there is "a law Of wages" Did any
one ever hear, particularly in these
trust times, of "a law of profits?" No.
There are few laws against profit mon-
gers. Most laws are made to protect
this class Even in our state legisla-
ture a labor bill savors of class legis-
lation from it's introduction, while bills
granting to corporations certain .privil,
eyes are perfectly far and legitimate.

The Socialist party will hold it's first
the branch of the party with which
such Socialists as Eugene V. Debs,
Victor Berger and Thomas Morgan are
affiliated. 1t is not the reactionary or
revolutionary element as represented
by the LIE Deonites.
Every person who does not believe in
the Socialist party is not dubbed"
by it's adherents, as "Fakirs," "Skates,"
and "Kangaroos," such as the other
faction enjoys to name all those who
may differ with them, even In tactics.
A law was passed at the last session
Of the legislature, preventing two par
ties from having the same name, or
parts Of q name. The Socialist party
was previously known as the Social
Democratic party. 1t became a legal
party In this state because it had polled
the required number Of votes to make
it such. At recent national conven-
ton Of the party the name was chang
ed to the Socialist party. On account
of the new law the supreme court ruled
that the standard bearer of the So
not have his name placed on the OFF,
cial ballot with the name Of his party
attached to it, for the fact that there
is another party of almost the same
name, known as the Socialist Labor
party.
The Socialist party, however, intend
to stand their ground and will advo~
cate the election of Mr.. Nash. who has
secured the party nomination.
Mr.. Nash will speak at the Kalama-
zoo block on Wednesday evening, Oct,
20. He will be assisted by E. Van Put
nam who is credited with being one
Of the most able advocates of Socialism
in the country.
A movement will also be started here
for the organization of branch of
the Socialist party. We Judge by the
number of Appeal to Reasons that are
delivered here that the party will poll
a large vote this fall.

evening at a time when no young wo.
man should be on the streets without
an escort. Every father here, whether
his daughter is employed in a store or
not, should in every way that is in his
power, further the cause of organized
labor.
Organized labor was held up as the
greatest aid to the laboring man of the
present day, state which would, if
carried out throughout the country,
avert panics and completely do away
with strikes and tie-ups. Our dream
is," said one Of the speakers, ito be-
come so completely organized, that
when the billion dollar trusts attempt
to crush one man, they will strike a
blow at all. Suppose that, at the be-
ginning of this great coal strike, every
craftsman in the country had stopped
work, how long would the strike have
been on? Twenty-four hours is an ex-
aggerated estimate.''
Duluth was characterized by the
speakers as the most strongly unioniz-
ed city in the state. and as one Of the
best in the country. Instances were
quoted where various crafts in the city
had organized and materially bettered
their condition within three months af-
ter so doing.

better things than are enjoyed by the
peasantry of Europe.
The claim is made by those opposed
to the concerted efforts of labor that
labor is in a better condition today
than it was some years ago." Granted
that this is true, are they not entitled
to it? Compare the contrast between
the home, and mode Of living of the
rich man and the workingman of forty
years ago, with the luxurious palace
of the multi millionaire and the cot
tage of the workingmen Of today. Have
the workingmen developed along this
line in the same proportion as they
who own the wealth? There is vast
difference which is apparent to every
observer of conditions.
