After discharging his men he called
his mules together and informed
them that the rush reason was oyer
and their services would no longer
be required. Said he: "NIy barn
is full of feed, which at the pres
cnt market price ought to net me
another five hundred dollars. l
fed you well while you worked and
next summer, if you are around
this way about harvest time, l
shall be glad to give you another

the mules and lived on the fat of
the land until next summer. But
the mules did not make application
for another job. They all starved
to death.
The captain forgot that he was
not dealing with men.

UNIONISM
Graft Exposer Heney Pays High
Tribute to Organized Labor
In an Address.

Francis j. Heney, the attorney
who unearthed the graft machine
in San Francisco, is the hero of
the hour throughout the entire
west. 1t had been supposed that
Heney was an opponent to the
trade union movement, simply be-
cause he spared no dishonest poll
ticaI CRATER whether he was
a member of Il union or not. He
isn't worrying much about the
little politicians who never had 81
dollar, and who yielded to temp
tatiOn when more money was offer
ed to him than he ever saw before
but he is absolutely merciless with
the "big fellows" desiring valuable
franchise who bribcd the Office
holders to get them OH the most
favorable terms.
Mr.. Hency delivered an address
recently to the students of the
California State University, and
the sentiments expressed will
be somewhat of a surprise, i'll view
of attitude of the element which is
most active in the prosecution.
The speaker declared that trade.
unions were a potent factor i'll
political development. The salient
points of the address are quoted i'll
the following extract:
"Hhe trouble is in the govern
ment of our citics--not in men.
And right here want TO emphasize
n condition in San Francisco.
Some men accuse the labor union.
lists of responsibility for all the
graft and corruption, and the
labor party is condemned. Men
who attempt to place the response
bility for our municipal evils upon
the labor unions are denscly igno-
rant or else they speak from bitter
and selfish enmity Of base motives.
Labor men areyOur fellow citizens.
Unhappily all men who toll do not
have the opportunity you have to
obtain II broad education.
"But these men who earn their
bread have the same fine sentiments
the same pure motives, the same
high purposes and aspirations,
the same affections that you college
graduates have, and they are in
spired by the same principles and
the same love for our common
country and it's institutions. So |
urge you young men not to permit
Yourselves to believe that labor
does not include the highest citi-
zenship in the United States.
Men who work respect the law and
they are entitled to the protection
of the law. 1 have not the same
confidence in the merchant class or
the corporation class.
"Do not misunderstood mel
do not mean that all merchants or
corporation men are corrupt. |
mean that nine times out of ten
labor votes OH principle, with no
personal interest, and nine times
out of ten tho merchant votes for
his self,interest and against moral
principles"

NOT A MINER
ON THE JURY
That Investigated Whipple Ex-
p1osion Regardless Of Daily
Press Reports.

The Oak Hill correspondent Of
the Fayette Sun in discussing the
reports published in several papers
in this section stating that jury
composed Of miners eXOnerated the
company of all blame of the
Whipple mine disaster, has the
following hot shot for the parties
sending out the report:
"SOme one furnished that item
for the press-a jury of miners; if
any Of the jury ever mined coal it
was in pre-, historic times, We are
rather Of the opinion thata portion
OF them at least, never were even
inside of a mine, yet with no
knowledge whatever Of mining, of
the science Of ventilation, who will
frankly tell you that they are not
even familiar with many of the
terms and expressions used in de-
scribing the workings ola mine
are selected to decide who and
what are responsible for the death
of men in an explosion. Those
men, no matter how conscientious
they are could not give a just YER
dict.
"There are prenty of practical
miners in this field, who are cap
able of serving on a coroners jury,
but they never serve. There must
be reason"
