Political Revolution in Pennsylvania
Promises Sweeping Change
in Near Future
NEED RADICAL REMEDIAL LAWS
Combination Likely Between Laboring
and Agricultural Glasses to Sc
cure Better Government

The Mine Worker Journal of In
dianapolis, contains the following
forcible editorial on the political rev.
olution, which seems to have started,
not only in Philadelphia, but in the
state of Pennsylvania:
The resolutions adopted by the min
ers Of District 2, who were sent TO
Harrisburg to secure the passage Oh
remedial laws call for more than
passing notice. They are in line with
resolutions adopted by the Pennsyl-
vania State Federation OF Labor and
the resolutions adopted by the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor at Wilkes
Barre, Pa, and Boston. Mass.
Move to Restore Sovereignty
It is simply the beginning OF al
movement to restore sovereignty tol
the people which has been insiduous-
" but surely wrested from them un,il
now the people are but voting ma
chimes to register the will OF political
BOSSES composed chiefly of corpora
ton agents The fragrant defiance OF
the will and demands of the people is
not even apologized for, nor is any
explanation given and those chosen as
servants have, by gross usurpation,
become the masters.
The founders of the republic never
contemplated that any such state OF
affairs would or could exist. At the
convention which established this ma
ton and it's organic law, they declared
that 1--WE, the people do ordain," etc.,
not 1--WE the corporations not I'VE
the political bosses" but I'VE, the
people" Yet 1--WE, the people, today
are shorn Of our power, our rights are
ignored and our wishes defied, until
the pendulum has begun to swing the
other way, and move made to re-
store the sovereignty that of right be-
longs to the people.
Popular Will Suppressed
A striking example of how far this
suppression of "We, the peoples
wishes has been carried is best Illus
trated by an accident in New Yor--
state. There had been for years d..
mand for widening and deepening the
Erie canal. A legislature was elected
pledged to appropriate the money foi
that purpose. The appropriation was
submitted to vote of the people ant
carried by a large majority. Nov
comes the corporation agents who as
sert that the people had no authorit.
to vote the money, that 1--WE, the cor
porations,' are the sole and only one
capable Of saying what 1--WE, the pee
ple," can hive.
These encroachments are not OF
sudden growth. They are the result
Of years of slof, sly but sure move
ments, little at time, until tn
people are about completely enthralles
But an awakening has begun. In MOI
tana. the trade unions and the farI
ers have wrested referendum frol
the bosses. In Chicago similar stat
of affairs exists. This year the trade
unions and the farmers unions
Texas have joined hands and secure
q referendum.
