At the last meeting of the Inter
national Socialist Bureau the secret
airy reported that he had received a
visit of Chinese socialists who wish

that the socialists of Cuba desired
to be heard at the bureau; that a so.

Class Struggle on
In Coal Mines

any agreement to arbitrate with the
United Mine Workers is an unjusti-
fable surrender to anarchy and mob
violence. The letter to the commit
tee contains the following. We
contend that it will be better that
our mines lie idle for years than
that we should accede to the high
waymanlike demands of an organi-
zation that lacks either the wish or
the ability to restrain its members
from acts of violence that would
disgrace the much despised Rus
SLAMS" It's wonder John Mitch
ell wouldn't take a tumble to him
self? The apparently butter-like
smoothness of Roosevelts arbitra-
tion board is simply toleration of
the working class that is disrised by
the capitalists. The bitter class
hatred is more virulent on the side
of the capitalists than on the side
of the workers. The capitalists
hate the workers as miserable, ig-
norant. discontented wretches, and
they bring every power of govern
ment, authority, and economic adj
vantage to keep them in that con-
dition. Nothing will ever change
the condition of the coal miners ex-
cept the abolition of the private
ownership of the coal mines. And
they'll have to work for socialism
to achieve that.

A striking illustration of the clas-
sical socialist assertion, that govern
ments are but committees of the rul-
ing class, was furnished during the
recent city campaign in Chicago.
The traction companies, j. p. Nor
gan, ct. al. were said to have spent
more than a million dollars in the
campaign of eastern capitalists
against municipal ownership, to
thwart the will of the people of
Chicago. They drafted as their
allies the postoffice officials, and the
officers of a dummy organization
known as the Federation of I'm
provement Clubs" Stored in the
vaults of the postoffice through the
astonishing complaisance of the
federal authorities were 200, 900 let
ters to be released for mailing
March 81. Two hundred thousand
more were added to this mass Of
literature, and like the others were
disseminated from the federal build
ing in time to reach all the voters OF
Chicago just before election day.
Imagine the socialists asking a like
favor from the Chicago postoffice.

ne weekly Mail anu Empire Of
Toronto, a most conservative sheet,
devotes almost half a page of a re-
cent number to the subject of the
Astounding Rise of the Labor
Party" 1t says that the important
influence of organized labor in the
late English election and the fact
that about fifty labor representatives
are sitting in the new parliament as
a compact body, show that the pro-
letariat has at length awakened to
its privileges. OF the FIVE and
half million votes that were cast
full half million were given to
straight labor candidates. but these
do not by any means represent the
number of working men who have
voted, since many liberal victories
have been won by the help of labor.
Many of these voters have come to
the polls for the first time. The
Liberals exploited the Chinese labor
cry throughout the campaign. The
walls were plastered with the life
sized portrait in yellow cf a typical
Chinese laborer, with the inscrip-
tion, The Future Unionist British
Workman" Fiscal reform was rep
resented in the blacklist colors, and
leaflets distributed by millions en-
titled, A Word to the Women. APP
pealing to the difficulties in provid-
ing for their families, and stating
that all the necessities of life would
cost more if tax were put on them.
1t is stated that the phenomenal
success of the Labor party is due
entirely to the fact that the leaders
of the new trade unionism have
stuck out for independent political
representation, and have thus Gre
ated an entirely new party with a
program of its own.
II Mr.. Gladstone had not wreck
ed his party twenty years ago with
the home rule bill this upheaval
might have happened earlier. Three
suffrage bills have given extended
enfranchisement to the British-the
reform bill of 1892. Disraili's bill of
1867, and the bill of 1884 which
practically gave the ballot to every
adult man. The consequence of
Mr.. Gladstone's home rule action
was to place Lord Salisbury in pow
er. and instead of the government
becoming more democratic it was
presided over by the strongest OF
artist tocrats. Feeling himself strong
enough to control the destinies OF
the empire he did not seek help

ported him, A series of accidents

True to the prediction made by
the News some time ago. the track
men employed by the Helena light
and Railway company are having a
taste of capitalist prosperity so far
as work and wages are concerned.
and the result was strike on Thurs
day last. Fifty-one of the street
car construction crew were involved.
These men are repairing the track
out towards East Helena. They
are obliged to report at the barn
every morning. When going to
and coming from work they have
been carried free by the company
heretofore, but were obliged to wear
badges to distinguish them.
Subterfuge to Lower Wage.
This showing of the badges has
been a subterfuge for making the
men pay fares at all times. An ex-
cuse was trumped up that there was
trouble over the badges. The men
quit in body although they are
not unionized. Manager Carr re-
ported that the men were discharged
the incident closed, and the COM
pany had all the men it wanted to
take the places.
Five Men Scab.
The statement was a point blank
lie ar only FIVE men could be found
to take the places of the discharged
workmen under such ridiculous
terms. They offered to do this If
they were given 10 cents extra day
to do it with. This was refused.
The matter should be taken up and
strenuously dealt with by the Trades
Council. All men seeking work
should be warned away from the
city, and the circumstances stated.
This is but another method of cut
ting wages, which now that all com
petition is removed in the copper
state between large capitalistic con-
Germs, will be the order of procedure.
Case For Federation.
The state should see that these
rights of common labor are protect
ed.

Carr A Slave Driver.

This man Carr was the one who
called out the military against his
men in Canada on similar street
car construction. He is known as
a brutal slave driver wherever he
has had charge.
Walker the secretary is also
blamed as one of the leading men
who has kicked up the row through
his servile toadying to the powers
above him. Had it not been for
his interference the demands of the
men would probably have been
granted.

Boycott Excursions.

The labor men over the state
should put boycott on Helena ex-
cursions this summer. The traction
company is depending on making a
big thing this season, and the men
can get S3 day after May just as
well as not if they make. a determin.
ed stand. The street car company
is fearful of further complications.
1t knows its profits hang in the bal
ance. Its managers must get re-
suits. A systematic boycott against
Broadwater, excursions, ETC., will
dig big hole in the aforesaid pro-
fits. The workingmen make up the
public. They can take the wind
out of their sails if they will.
All the men tell the same story so
there is no reason to doubt the cir
cumstances.

BETHEL JR. co. OPENS
WITH CROWDED HOUSE

The big clearance sale of clothing
and mems furnishing goods inaugur-
ated at the Bethel, .Jr.. store, 513 Main
street, yesterday attracted a great
deal of attention. the store being
thronged with buyers from the time
it opened in the morning until 1t
closed at night That the goods were
cheap was evidenced by the great
number of packages carried away by
its patrons. in fact. nearly everybody
that visited the store during the day
bought something. for the average
man, like the traditional woman shop
per, dearly loves a bargain.
The rush of customers yesterday
necessitated the employment of a
large number of extra statesmen, but
in spite of that fact visitors to the
store were compelled to wait their
turn, as there was always importun-
ate buyers ahead of them.
The sale is under the management
of Clifford j. Halpern. and 1t is to
his liberal and judicious advertising
almost as much as it is to the splen-
did stock of goods at his command
that it is proving so successful.
The counters are piled high with
clothing and the haberdashery that
composes the masculine wardrobe

makes its purchase almost irresistible
