To Socialists in UnOrganized
States and Territories.

An extensive agitation must be
carried on during the presidential
campaign and as many speakers as
possible should be placed in the
field. Under the constitution the
National Secretary is empowered to
deal direct with unorganized states
and territories and in order that
they may have all the advantages
that the National Headquarters can
provide, it is necessary that ar
rangements for this work should be-
gin at The earliest possible date.
If this educational propaganda is
to bring the results that all Social
lists desire, il will depend on the de-
gree of assistance and cooperation
that the Comrades will give the Ma
tional Office and we urge all to con-
tribute their efforts toward making
our work real campaign of edu-

1. How often can you take a
speaker during the campaign?
,. What would be the earliest date

:. How many days for each
speaker do you wish to arrange for?
3. How much can you guarantee

5. Give names and addresses of

Comrade Baird, operator of the
shops, is somewhat of a genius. He
has invented new telegraph key,
which is a new departure in teleg-
raphy. 1t is an alternate steel and
and glass bar, placed upon a wood
en- superstructure, the six steel bars
to correlate with the highest num-
Der of dots in the figure 6. The
glass bars, which act as non-con-
ductor, makes the necessary breaks,
while the opening and closing of
circuit is perfected by deftly gliding
over the bars by means of steel
pencil, with outer covering of wood
to escape contact with the current
The advantages gained are three
fold: Rapidity. pure Morse" and
protection from operators paralysis.
Mr.. Baird has secured a patent, and
expects good results from his new
project.

Isolated some ten miles from Liv-
ingston, on a spur of the Northern
Pacific is the town of Cokedale, a
coal mining camp, and fragmentary
speck in the unending list of Bill
lionaire Rockefeller's countless re-
sources. Coal mining there is of
dangerous nature, as the mine is of
gaseous character. A periodical ex-
plosion, which was not on the pro-
gram occurred last week. The last
shot out of four ignited the hidden
gas and the conclusion was so great
that it shook the earth. Fortunately
no one was injured, although the
workers, who were a hundred feet
distant were knocked off their feet.
The miners are quitting in squads,
and as there is to be an increase in
force in the near future, the matter
of securing sufficient miners to vol
unteer in this hazardous work, is a
question to be dealt with. The min
ers, sixty in all, are members of the
Mine Workers Union, and on the
whole, evince strong SYMPTOMS of an
overdose Of "Mitchellphobia." How
ever, not a few, are beginning to in
quire as to why Mitchell advises
that politics be kept out of the
unions" while Parry of the citizens
alliance, and his gang are head and
shoulders into the game.
The union labor movement in
Livingston is strong. There are
eleven railroad unions, and five or
six trades unions. The absence of
a Trades Council is slack feature
of the movement. Unskilled labor
receives low wages here, and the
number of hours are long, as that
class of labor is unorganized. Some
good work can be accomplished here
by the A. l.. l.. The city and
county work is nine hours. The
machinists union is particularly
strong. Have a membership of sew
enty During the machinists strike
on the Union Pacific, the lodge here
donated nine hundred and seventy
dollars. the largest amount given by
any local in the United States, mem
bership considered. The car work
ers are solid. Also the United
brotherhood of Railway Employees
which has a membership of over two
hundred, in this local. The rail
road brotherhoods were in Helena
last week, in the interest of the fel-
low servant bill.
They are in the lobby business
again. Two years ago after the bill
was passed, the corporation funkeys
defeated it with the commonplace
Flaw" in the law, and it was set on
the political "rip-track." The rail
road men are wise now, proiiting
10y experience, and will put up one
this time" that will endure, so they
say. They will do nothing of the
kind. The paid attorneys in the
legislature, or the court will kill the
bill, otherwise they will have their
annual passes or pottages curtailed
by the railroad companies. When
these wage slaves learn to align with
the Socialist movement, place their
own men in office, and eliminate the
incentive to legal corruption, people
will take them seriously.
On Sunday morning the machine
side" and the floor side" OF the

ball. 1t was interesting. Both sides
required in constant service three
umpires and four reversible batter
les. The task of keeping score, they
mercilessly heaped upon one man,
a machinist who seemed in sympathy
with both sides. With frantic energy
