AN OUTRAGE.

Recently in San Froncisco at a meet
ing Of the Industrial Workers of the
World, the American flag was torn
down and trampled upon. The Mine
Workers Journal, the official magazine
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, treated the matter in the following
language:
1T was stated in the public press
and confirmed by correspondence that
some frenzied traitors, masquerading
under the garb of unionism, tore down
and trampled on the Stars and Stripes
in San Francisco.
LET these anarchists be undeceived.
That flag is the flag of organized labor,
it's stripes are our stripes, it's stars
are our stars; it represents our coun-
try, our institutions, our freedom. At
any time at any place these ruff1ans
do not like this country or its institu-
lions no attempt will be made to keep
them here. i.
1.-THE editor of the Mine Workers
Journal solemnly declares that If he
were the executive in California or In
San Francisco he would hang those
people for treason If it were the last
act of his Hfe."
Those are our sentiments.

due to the exhaustion Of overworked
employees. Under powers recognized
in the interstate commerce laws it was
attempted to compel the railways to
treat their employees as human beings
and at the same time safeguard the
lives and interests of the people.
It looks as if the prophecy made
some years ago that IF the govern

was about fulfilled. Under the inf1u-
ence Of the railway lobby, the railway
senators and the railway congressman,
