STATE CONVENTION.

The West Virginia State FEEDER
alton of Labor at its session held
here last week clearly demonstrate
cd to our people that the union
men of the State are not the
"thugs, anarchists, cranks and
hOodlums' that some of our es-
tccmed friends, the enemy, would
have them believe, and their con-
duct elected much favorable com
rnent from the business and pro
fessional men Of our city. The
convention was composed Of de-
tcrlnlned, earnest and honest labor
ing men, who were here for the
best interests of their fellow wage
workers and the work accomplish
ed by them will live as a monu
mcnt to their sterling worth and
will naturally aid in placing the
workingmcn and women of our
state on a higher plane.
Charleston did herself proud in
entertaining the delegates and
through sacrifices of their favored
sons cemented the organization
more closely together and made il
possible for a harmonious session
May the officers elect have the
entire support of the membership
and lay aside petty jcalousies and
work solely for the best interests
of all and when we meet in Sixth
Annual Session at Huntington in
February, 1908, they can report
that every organized trade and
calling in the state is affiliated.
We have made our resolutions,
now, lets carry them out.

The non-union employer tells you
there is no need Of unions, because
he already pays union wages.
But is not this statement from the
employer a tribute to the method
of unionism and an acquiescence
that union methods are the right
ones for the laboring man?
Every effort, every strike made
by the unions to secure an in
crease in wages helps to. pull up
the non-union man. 1t is not a
question whether the union man
desires this; it is one of the results
To say we shall not work with
them is not to say we have any
| apathy toward them. 1t is to say
that those who desire benefits com
ing from any contracts that may
exist with the employer should
share the responsibility for getting
them. The man who refuses to
take any interest in this is only
keeping down the workingman tho
longer. He is dcpriving himself
and his family of better conditions
in life and is draw back to the
advancement Of the cause Of
humanity.

THE TIME TO STICK.

The crusade being made now and
which will be pushed with greater
vigor than ever before during the
early spring upon trades. unionism
from one end of the nation to the
other is and will be entirely with
out moral it it does not teach the
workingmen that the time has
come when they must stand firmly
together, shoulder to shoulder, in
the battle for better conditions.
1t is evident, in the first place.
that the unions have nearly reach .
ed the point where they can en-
force their demands and thus
secure for their m cm bers the things
that are and always have been
labor's just share in production.
heretofore they could only plan:
they were scarcely ever able to
execute. They might and did
render themselves more or less OBJ
noNious by systematically refusing
1T inopportune times to stand for
a lower standard Of living for their
members, but it generality result
ed in their defeat.
The real battle will. not begin
until the working,nen themselves
awaken to the facts and the sig
niticance of it all. But battle it
will be then, and, although wise
men and scholars have seen it
coming for years and have fore
told it many times. it is doubtful
If even small minority of those
most actively concerned on either
side have realized it before nor do
they In its fullnesS even now.
Men of West Virginia do your
share and begin at once.

UNIONISM ELEVATES.

The trades union movement is
one that is the most far rea ching in
the whole world. A man NAV be
n Protestant, Jew, or NOLAN
medan; ne may pray at any alter
or at no alter. He is welcome in
the trade unionist movement. A
man may be a Republican or a
Democrat or member of any
political party and so long as he
is iaboring man he is welcome in
the movement. All that is asked
of u man is that he be true to his
fellows and live to be of some as
slstance to his brother laborer and
not live for himself alone. The
movement works for the highest
and goes down to the lowest, the
submerged, to try to lift them up
to assert their rights and learn
their duties.
To say they only try to benefit
themselves is to beg the question.

always been a consistent friend of

One of the most practical dem
onslrations that one can give in
favor Of trades -uniOnism is a firm
insistcncc that articles purchased
shall bear evidence Of having been
produced under fair sanitary CON
,iitions and by honestly paid labor,
No member of a trades union, nor
anyone who favors fair Living con
ditions and is opposed to low wages
and unSanitary conditions, ought
to accept a non-union article when
it is possible to obtain one bearing
the union label.
