STATE FEDERATION
OF Labor. of West Virginia TO Meet
Here in January.
MOST IMPORTANT IN HISTORY
Of the Organiza ton, and a Large At
tendance Predicted---Much Busi-
ness VIII Be Transacted.

The West Virginia State Fed
Grafton meeting in this city i'll Jan
uary next will be the greatest oc-
casion in the history of unionism
in West Virginia.
This will be really the first big
meeting of that body since its or
ganiZatiOn at Huntington several
years ago, but until the present
officers were elected it was allowed
to slumber along peaceably. but
they intend to lift the laboring
men of the State out of the lcthar
gic state of nothingneSs. which the
politicians declare to exist, and
raise them up to a powerful position
as factor in future elections.
For years there has been need
for just such an organization.
Time and time again have the
small requests of the union men of
the State been disregarded in a
fashion such as to make them po-
litically the laughing stock of the
community, and never has the rem
edy. always at their elbows, been
adopted. Now. however, a differ
ent spirit seems to have been
aroused. Union men hereaboutS
are beginning to sit up and take
notice, and the first tangible and
most important step is the form
alton of an organization that can
do something. Such a one. it is
hoped to make of the State Fcder
alton of Labor, to include each and
every labor body in the State. 1t
matters not what the connections
that may or may not exist between
the separate unions. That has
nothing to do with it.
The all-important consideration
is to get together, everybody. and
show the people that Labor means
business.
In the ranks of labor are as able
men as can be found among any set
or class of men in the world. There
may not be as many Of them. for a
great majority are too buSlly en-
gagged earning their bread by the
sweat of their brows to devote

LABOR PRESS POWER
Wiclds Tremendous Influence Spread
ing Truth in Labor's Conflict.
TOILERS SENTINEL ON GUARD,
If it a Safeguard Against Malicious
Slander and Injustice and Makes
Enemies Hew Closer to Line.

In an address to its readers. the
Michigan Union Advocate, one of
the best labor papers in the coun-
try today, has the following to say
about the labor press:
''Thc labor press of the country
has come to be regarded as wicld-
ing tremendous influence in
spreading the truth regarding the
conflict between capital and labor.
and IL is not any congregation to
say that next to righteousness of
the cause, and the devotion of he
role men and women who have in
the past and are now Sacrificin"
themselves in the great struggle to
uplift and protect the toiling mass
eS. that the strongest weapon that
can and is being felt is that brought
to bear through the medium of the
labor press of the conntry.
AS compared with the CONNER
clal and capitaliStic press Of the
country the labor press may bc
considered an insignificant Guan-
uty, but it is an hundred fold more
powerful today than it was ten
years ago.
1t is Il power that has already
compelled the public press to for
sake its attitude of indifference to-
ward labor's rights.
1t has compelled the public press
TO be more truthful in telling the
story of the cvcr-preScnt conflict
between capital and labor.
The labor press OF the present
day is the sentinel on guard which
challenges every and all efforts of
the opposition to poison the public
mind against the rights and de-
mands of labor and the methods
adopted to secure the same.
1t Is a safeguard against mali
clouS SANDER and injustice, wheth-
cr emanating from the courts OF
justice, in law making bodies or in
the pulpit.
The labor press is today the
strongest weapon possessed by the
telling masses with which they can
maintain and fight the battle for
their ultimate emancipation.
Every member of organized labor
who Is abreast of the times should
realize that it is to his interest
that the prevalent widespread dis
cussion of industrial topics should
be encouraged both within and
outside of the ranks of labor.
To that end it is not only proper
but important that every worthy
publication which has the interest
OF the laboring man and unioniSm
as its first object should receive the
heartlest support that its clientage
can consistently give.

With this issue the Courier enters
roou its second year under tie
ar.eent owners man agement. 1n-
.,much as the past year has seen a
surprising advance in the town
,h,t the Courier has the honor to
;eure.ent, we are glad to pass the
rear in brief review and record the
mid growth and development of
our thriving city.
We all know the town has gone
ahead but when we stop and check
no the different improvements made
:. are amazed at how extensive
and general the expansion has
been.
In THE BUSINESS SECTION
A dozen buildings for use in con-
dsc.ing different lines of trade have
been built and are now complete.
Among the most valuable are the
Dirck.eu building, the Shamrock
Barn. the Rainier and Yellowstone
Ear, and the Hanson & Rich and
B.ntou Water Co.'S buildings.
In the past year thousands of feet
q sidewalk has been put down and
crossings put in by the city. A
year ago walks existed in sections
only on Front and Second streets
and walking was sort of upa and
down and down and,up progress.
Now the street grade has been es
hhished, all the walks meet OH a
kvel. the gaps have been fillsd in
and new walks have been put down
in long stretches Oh Pacific. Tacoma
iud Yakima streets.
The arrangements fo- water righ.s
for city lots have been made and
en,c.ed into law by the council, so
that upon very reasonable terms
wafer for irrigation purposes can
ksecurea for city property. Some
work has also been done i'll grading
Tie streets.
For the immediate future in the
business section we have the fine
new brick building Of Sylvester &
Roseman, the first of it's kind in
town and in Benton c unity outside
o. Prosser, and R. II. Anderson S
Sos'on Store approaching compile
uon; and last but not least the
cement block structures more num-
ef0us aud representing a larger
saue than any town of this size i'll
'ae state of Washington can boast.
VI these the Reed building is far
'nest along, the walls being about
"o''nirds laid up, while the exca-
'aons are dug, the plans prepared
suo the contracts let for four addi-
.0ual buildings of this material,
'ae most valuable of which is the

$4,000.

of fraternal societies, lodges and
similar organizations imperative in

ground of meeting in order to form
