ions, under the new regime, have been
converted into political machine. This
is not true. The essential economic
features of the movement are as they
were before. Indeed, if there is any
change, these have been strengthened,
and the national Organization and all
local bodies will proceed with their
grievances, and matters relating to
wages, conditions, etc, aa before.
But when it comes to the use of the
ballot, the organization is committed to
the policy that it is the iuty of union
men to vote their class interests as we'll

man who fails to do thisis not in any

The Duluth Federated Trades and
Labor Assembly wish to place the fol-
lowing facts before the people in re-
gard to certain statements made by
John T. Armstead in furtherance of his
candidacy for the nomination for sheriff
of St. Louis county:
First-Five years ago the Laundry
Workers Union of Duluth declared the
Acme Laundry, owned and operated by
John F. Armstead, as unfair to organ
lied labor. This action was endorsed
by the above Trades Assembly, and is
still so considered, and Mr.. Armstead
has never made and effort to have this
endorsement removed by the Duluth
Federated Trades and Labor Assembly.

state legislature, the object of which
was to do away with the boycott sys-

Sixteen weeks ago the anthracite min
ers Of Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
numbering $4,000 loyal and true men,
laid down their tools and inaugurated a
struggle against low wages, the dock
ing system and the unjust weighing Of
coal. For sixteen weeks this noble
army have stood shoulder to shoulder
without faltering a step, and have
solemnly resolved that they will not re-
turn to work until more justice is ac-
corded them. They are combating
against a mighty force-the greatest
aggregation of capital in the world. The
situation has now resolved itself into d
question of greater endurance. The
mine owners expected to have the min
ers starved into submission weeks ago,
but thanks to the foresight and wis
dom of that gallant leader John Mitch
ell, the iniquitous have been frustrated.
Failing to starve the miners into sub
mission the mine owners next move
was to establish veritable army Of
company police, whose main duties are
to provoke, insult and infuriate the
miners to riot and disorder. However
trivial such occurrences may be, they
are given wide publicati ton in the daily
press, whose hired scriblers exaggerate
them to suit the taste of the yellow
journals they represent.
Yet if one were to credit the stories
that appear in the columns' Of these
papers, it would seem that the men who
constantly risk their lives working in
the bowels of the earth We're a. lawiess
class who have no high conception Of
theirsduty and 1d Arleric cangc1 1tt1enship.a

Hazelton and shamokin. The reports
OF these cities and the statements ii s4a 4n
the burgesses and chiefs OF police prove
that there has been less infraction Of
the law and fewer arrests during the
time the, strike has been in progress
than for like period preceding it. In
fact, a person passing through the coal
fields and mining towns of northeastern
Pennsylvania would not know that a
great industrial contest is in progress
but for the presence of perfect army
Of coal and iron police, who proudly
display their revolvers and rifles and
faunt their authority in an effort to
overawe peaceful strikers or provoke
them to acts Of violence.
What are some Of the grievances Of
the miners? First, they are asking for
a small increase Of wages. For more
than twenty-five years the anthracite
coal mine workers have chafed and
groaned under the most intolerable and
inhuman conditions Of employment i'm
aginable. Their average annual earn
ings have been less than those of any
other class Of workmen in the United
States, notwithstanding the fact that
their work is more hazardous and the
cost Of living greater than in any other
important American industry. The

thus it is the duty of the true leader
to use his best efforts to overcome, so
that the workers on all occasions, econ
omically, politically and otherwise, can
use their entire organized class power
in resisting the capitalist system, and
in charging it at every point until final
ly it Is overcome and the worlds work
ers stand forth free men. ~.

1 Simple Rule That Helped Him to
Acquire . Lucrative Practice.
A physician of long standing in this
city who has a practice that any of
his colleagues might envy-and, many
in all probability do-recently gave
this advice to a young doctor who was
just starting out in his profession. The
older man is type of the kind Of doc
tor that is said to be going out Of
style-the family physician. Whether
he is destined to disappear or not, this
kind of a physician followed highly
profitable kind OF career while it last
ed. Many young men used to regard
this sort of practice as that to which
they all aspjired.
II have always made it rule" said
this experienced man of medicine, Ito
close every visit to patient with
question or comment on his or her
physical condition. 1t Is all very well
to discuss various questions with ones
patients, talk about all kinds OF SUBJ
jects and interest them In any way
possible. But the final remark must
be connected with the patients physl-
cal condition. Tell him not to forget
to take a certain medicine regularly,
or tell her that you have never had a
case that was just like hers-but IN all
cases talk last about the illness of the
person you have come to see. learn
| ed that when l was young man from
the most popular physician of his time
l always felt indebted to him, toT
it was not long before I realized the
truth of the theory that nothing
leaves such a favorable impression on
a patient as to emphasize the import
ance of his malady!"
