THE BURNING QUESTION.

When the mine owners in the
unorganized fields of West Vir-
ginia will permit their employees
to become members of the organi,
cation, as they have a legal, moral
and constitutional right to do, and
when they pay these men as good
wages and give them as favorable
conditions Of employment, and
protect their lives and limbs while
at work, as is done in other states,
then it will be unnecessary for
agents to seek miners in the Old
World.
Thousands and thousands of
native West Virginians, driven
from their homes and the places OF
their birth and forced to seek
work in the mines of other states
because as good Americans and as
good workmen they asserted and
exercised their right to organize,
will return to West Virginia.
Any man who himself believes
or who seeks to make others be.
lieve that West Virginia will be
organized by bringing miners from
foreign countries into the state, is
either woefully ignorant or is him
self deceiving the people whom he
formerly was paid to represent.
What greater privilege is OK

Testimony was adduced before
the late Mining Commission that
A',ooo good practical miners had
lett West Virginia because of the
deplorable conditions existing in
the unorganized fields. That the
conditions today remain unchapp
ed cannot be disputed, and it
would be interesting to know what
Inducements can be offered to
secure practical men to fill their
places.

The movement inaugurated by
the Tradss Assembly on Monday
evening to launch an aggressive
organizing campaign in the CITY
will meet with the hearty appro-
baton of every union man in
Charleston and to insure the sue
cess of the undertaking every
member of organized labor should
lend his assistance to that BODY in
their noble undertaking. The
work cannot be completed in 4
day, it will take time and patience
to accomplish it, and it is essential
that every man be on the alert nj
all times and not become discorr
aged and give up and shoulder all
the work on the Assembly. stand

efforts, it is your fight and the re-
suit means much to you and your
family.

The pearls of trades unionism
are not to be found on the surface.
Those who seek and wish to find
Chem must go to the bottom or to
the foundation. They must study
and acquire a knowledge of the re-
latlonship of organization to all
humane progress. That knovl-
edge once received and firmly en-
bedded in the mind, will drive out
indifference and selfshness, will re-
klndle the fire of activity and de-
votlon, penetrating all those who
may come in contact with it, clari-
lying the air and quickening the
pulse of ade-unionism. bringing

combine, gather in the street. All

FOR THE FRAYIREMA|NS A MYSTERY
Unidentified the Body Now Rests in
The City Cemetery North
of The City

The mystery which surrounds the
young man who was killed in the
Frisco yards at this place last Wednes-
day morning remains as deep as ever.
All efforts OF Undertaken Lewis Rogers
to get trace of the unfortunate man
we're futile. The body lay in the morgue
until this morning awaiting a decision
from the railroad company in regard
to defraying the expense OF burial
Mr.. Rogers received a telegram from
the company saying they would allow
$1,000 with the provision that the per-
sonal belongings OF the dead man,
which consisted of gold watch and
clothing, be sent to them. This MT.
Rogers refused TO do, ana in conjunc-
tion with the city betrayed the burial
expenses, and the body was deposi ted
in the City Cemetery, north Of town,
this morning.
Mr.. Rogers had photographs made
of the man to be used for indensltica-
tion in case his relatives should be
found to claim the remains.

MILLION IN ROYALTY
That is What the Oil Fields in In
dian Territory are Paying In
dian Allottees.

A million a year in oil royalties.
That is what the oil fields in the In
dian Territory are paying in royal
ties to the Indian allottees. In bon
uses they are paying probably as much
more, or in other words the fortunate
Indians who have allotments where
there is oil, are drawing two millions
per year in actual money, and without
investing cent or doing lick OF
work.
At the Indian agency the records
show that at the end Of the fiscal
wear lust closed there has been re-
ceived as royalties from the oil wells,
s775, 900. The preceding year the to-
tai royalty was only $4,000 and for
the last quarter of the fiscal year
lust ended the royalties paid In
amounted to $4,000, indicating that
at the present rate the royalties for
he current year will be over a million
dollars.
The royalty usually given on an oil
lease is ten per cent. On this basis
there was produced during the past
three months s3,2OO,OOO worth from
Indian allotments, exclusive of what
was produced on decided land. Near

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL
SUE FOR 2-CENT FARE

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. S.-Attorney
General Cromwell stated last night
that ke would commence suit in the
Oklahoma courts against the railroads
that enter the territory from Kansas
to compel them to put in, effect the
2-cent fare rate recently enacted in a
Kansas statute.
"If the roads can stand a 2-cent fat
rate in Kansas, they can in Okla
homa, said Mr. Cromwell last night.
The suit win be based on the federal
law which provides that railroads shall
not charge higher rate, either freight
or passenger, in the territory than in
the states adjoining
