When Market Conditions Justify.


 "Gentlemen, it seems to me that the time is rapidly approaching when some decision should be reached, and l do not think, and l know the miners do not believe that you gentlemen, with whom we have had these mutually advantageous relations, have done yotr share to meet us in this grave crisis. l have said, and l repeat now. that so long as l am con- nected with the miners organization and as they give to me and my advice the same confidence the same respect that year by year they have if market condi- tions justify us we shallr ask for more and more wages. But I make the reser- vation as l did heretofore that fl will be if market conditions justify Us in doing so. Two years ago. when we officials of the miners, not only advised and im- plored but fought them to take a reduc- tion and when the delegates refused, we appealed from their decision and went to a referendum vote of the miners and what we failed to do in the convention we sue ceeded in having the miners vote in fa- vor. AndsI say to you so far as I am concerned if there comes a great depres- sion, if there comes to our country con ditions that justify I have no doubt but shares of the burdens. But what are con ditions now? It is published, it is ap- parent; it is so obvious that no one has attempted to offer denial that the com- mercial and the industrial conditions of our country are more prosperous than at any previous time. And yet we miners when we ask for even small advance, simply restoration of what we had two years ago. we are met evidently with a fiat denial. I say. gentlemen, 1t is not fair; it is not living up to the underlying 4l,t- ment was founded, and you will have to give us and you will have to give the public better reasons than yet assigned unless the responsibility will rest on you

First, it's chuckle, then an honest ha, ha,
For this musical eomedy's funny;
In fact, it's the very best play of its class,
And most people say, all the money"

| do not like the old songs,
Bot much prefer the new,
So I'll go see "The Sambo Girl"
And Eva Tanguay, too.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1906-04-17

Now, Polly Mccloon was plunged in
deep gloom,
Not smile on her face all the day;
Bot from cellar to rafter, the house rings
with laughter
Since Polly saw Eva Tanguay
They say that laughing makes you fat
And the statement will not DENY,
Bot take it from me, "The Sambo Girl"
Will make you laugh till you cry.
Go shout 1t from the house-tops
And put your neighbors wise;
"The Sambo Girl" will soon be here
And cause one big surprise.

But the proofofthe pudding's the pudding,
Don't fail to see Eva Tanguay.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1906-04-17

The audience started laughing,
1t couldn't stop it seems,
For The Sambo Girl! is funny;
In fact, It goes with screams.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1906-04-17

Never trouble trouble,
Till trouble troubles you,
And If you see "The Sambo Girl"
Your troubles will be few.
