Murder of Strikers

The Miners Magazine publishes six
remarkable pictures of the murders
committed by Col. w. C. Greene, the
mighty mining magnate of Mexico,
upon the helpless Mexican poems who
were demanding a living wage. The
Mexicans have appealed to their white
brothers for support in their just de-
mands. Whereupon Greene caused it
to be circulated everywhere through
out the corporation-owned journals that
the Western Federation of Miners was
behind a great rebellion. He deliber-
ately massacred the unarmed men who
came to demand better pay. The pic
lures are very pathetic, showing the
murdered, the IS men lined up to be
shot, the funerals, and a little son kiss
ing the dead strikers hand. Such mis-
cry and barbarism as this to wiring col
ossal profits out of helpless slaves. But
labor has awakened in the Information
al socialist movement. 1t knows the
source of its misery and how to rem
edy it. And that is the first step to.
wards the final remedy.

commercial circles of the frank speech
in which Minister Of Finance Diman'
tour last night explained to congress
the governments g action in buying the
Mexican Central railway. Fear Of what
he styled the great railway trusts of
the United States was the principal
reason for the speech, the minister de-.
claring that the government had been

tack the government because, accord
ing to their views, il has decided to
compel Maxim Gorky, the Russian
writer, by kind of interdict, to leave
Italy.
Gorky has been living quietly at
Capri. He was to have gone to Naples
for the first performance of his drama,
"Children Of the Sum-" which has
been played more than hundred times
in st. Petersburg.
To be just, the dispatch adds, it
must be said that the government is
embarrassed, as the Neapolitan popu-

Of the disorders of some weeks ago,
when Gorky spoke at a meeting, would
certainly have displeased Russia and

Montana Supreme Court Declares
For Eight-ttour Law

The Supreme Court of Montana has
rendered a decision sustaining the
sight-ho law. The decision was made
by Justice Holloway and concurred in
by Chief Justice Brantley and Assoc
late Justice Milburn. The court re-
versed the decision made by Judge
Henry of Livingston some six months
ago, reviewing the case in the opinion
handed down.
The decision effects over 10000
working men employed in public works,
mines, mills and smelters. While the
mine owners generally have not tried
to evade the eight-hour law, contrac-
tors on public works have tried their
utmost to violate its provisions. 1t is
now up to the unions that have been
injured by such violation to bring suit
for damages in individual cases com
ing under the law against all contrac-
tors guilty as law breakers. II will be

Socialists Set Pace

Since the action taken by the Red
Lodge socialist administration in re-
gard to the state gambling law, other
cities are taking warning and getting
busy. Miles City and Billings are both
showing activity. But in Great Falls
the working class have taken up the
and the Cascade County
Trades and Labor Assembly have pre-
sented communication TO the city
council pointing to the violation Of the
law and calling on the authorities to
suppress the evil. The communication
states that it represents 1900 wage
earners of the city with 5000 persons
dependent upon them. When things
are in such a pass that capitalist rule
will not enforce the law, and the work
ing class have TO tke hold and force
its operation, it looks as though the
working class could pretty nearly run
the government themselves.

HORSE PLAY
Old Gag of Breaking Unions By
Perjured Testimony

Chicago has been having a season Of
horse play against union leaders that 10
threatening to outrival Idaho's farce
tragedy. The same tactics are being
used in the trial of Shea, the president
of the Teamsters' Union, in the matter
of the Chicago strike as that used by
the Mine Owners association in fight
ing the Western Federation. The evil
denee is of the Mcfarland and detec-
tive order, Narrowing tales are told
by alleged Estates evidence" men Of
the diabolieal crimes Of which Shea
was the instigator, having eggs thrown
filed with acid, breaking arms and
legs, and such other dexterously con-
cocted atrocities. No one who under
stands the incentive Of the capitalist
class to destroy working class organ
ization, discredit and imprison it's
leaders, will believe a word of the
atrocious testimony. The government
of the capitalist has every advantage.
As long as the workers vote for that
they can't complain at what they get.

Privately Owned Postoffice.

w. d. Bayce of Chicago has made the
proposal to the Postal Commission for
n private corporation to take over the
postofiiee business, capitalized with
s50,O0O,ooO, and under full government
regulation. He guarantees better SER
vice in every particular, and to pay the
government all profits over 7 per cent
on capital. This is a commentary on
capitalist government ownership. It's
insufliciency is due to the graft Of the
capitalist politicians that are behind
IL. Private enterprise no doubt will
be much cheaper than public robbery.
Socialist government ownership would
be domocratically administered, and
operated at cost, without making pro-
fits for non-workers.

Capitalism in tho East.

The Introduction of the capitalist
system in the east is having the most
deplorable results. Not only are the
Asiatie races being crushed and ex-
plotted. but all the wonderful arts and
crafts peculiar to Asia are being de-
stroyed. They go to make room for
the shoddy and worthless machine pro-
duccd goods of Europe and America.
In India. especially the manifold
things, notably textile products, that
have been the wonder and admiration
of the world are naturally being forced
out of the market. In Japan it is
even worse. Japan is, perhaps, the
most artistic nation in the world, and
there the most brutal and degrading
forms of capitalist conditions are max
ing themselves apparent. And there,
too, keen resentment is growing up in
the minds of the public.spirited Japs
against the vandalism OF the profit
making Westerners. IL is certainly
time that some sort of "A stop was put
to the arrogant barbarism of the great
civilising' powers of the Vest
Justice.

Hearst s Defeat.

Few people will lament the defeat
of Mr.. Hearst for the governorship Of
New York state. In the earlier stages
of his campaign there seemed to be a
prospect that his candidature might
prove rough-and-ready means Of
gauging the volume Of progressive feel
ing in the state. II was thought that
his bold denunciation of the trusts
and his affirmation Of municipal col.
lectivism would, Notwithstanding the
widespread disbelief in the man him
self, have rallied as a matter of ex-
tremity the ranks Of reformers to his
flag.
But Mr.. Hearst appears to have soon
thrown aside the cloak of an ardent
and high-minded champion of popular
freedom and commercial purity, and
to have plunged headlong into the foul
stream Of Tammanism and Democratic
intrigues, so that in the end his name
became a symbol of the most sinister
influences in American politics.
His defeat, therefore, tells us little
Of the progressive state Of American
public opinion. The escapade Of his
candidature has, however, we fear,
done much to discredit any really hon
est attempt to assail the brazen powers
of American monopoly and corruption.
President Roosevelt's intervention in
the contest is likewise an ominous pre-.
cedent.-Labor Leader.
