TOADYISM
IS REWARDED.
President Roosevelt Appoints One,
Baker to Consu1ship for
Services.

When w. ID. Haywood went to
Chicago. at the invitation of the
organized workers, to make several
addresses, he was invited to take
dinner at the Press Club with
friend. His visit to the club Gre
ated great interest and all the
members showed their appreci-
alton by treating the famous pris-
oner in hospitable manner. That
is all were pleased but one Henry
ID. Baker, a cheap-sllate adventur-
er. Knowing that Roosevelt hat
ed Haywood the snob Baker started
to holler and raise row. OF
course, he got his name in the
paper-just what he wanted.
Marked copies were sent to Roose-
welt doubtless. Anyhow, it is
now reported that Mr.. Henry
Baker, ''the well known financial
writer and club man." who broke
the rules of the Press Club and
tried to insult Haywood, for which
he was reprimanded by the
directors, had been appointed
United States Consul to Tasmania,
a little island in the AustralaSian
group If Baker accepts the re-
ward proffered by Roosevelt he
won't be over burdened with work
exactly the position that Will suit
him-and will have an opportunity
to learn few lessons in decency,
for Tasmania has Labor party of
stalwart workingmen who dispise
cant and hypocrisy. If he tries to
work any of his snobocratic
schemes over there Baker may be
taught good manners.-Citizen.

OKLAHOMA PEOPLE
FOR SQUARE DEAL,
Pass Constitution That Will Protect all the Cfi-
zens iu Spite of Influence of the
Powers That Be.

The advice of Secretary Taft or
the criticism of President Roosevelt
cut little figure in the vote OF the
people of Oklahoma last Tuesday,
when they declared by majority
of 90, 900 that the constitution was
just the thing they needed to make
Il good state.
When the Secretary of War
spoke i'll Oklahoma City recently
he advised the Republicans to post
pone statehood because the pro-
posed constitution contained pro-
visions Objectionable to the special
interests. He did not say this in
SO many words, but the intelligent
and unpurchased people of Okla
homa knew what he meant.
The new constitution places tho
rights of man above property,
and at the same time it gives full
recognition to the rights of both. 1t
is considered to be the most pro.
gressive and substantial of Ameri.
can constitutions, and sets new
pace in government building. Here
are some of the features which ap.
peared Objectionable to MIR. Taft:-
Section L. Eight hours shall
constitute a days work in all cases
of employment by on behalf of the
State orany county or municipality.
Sec. 2. The contracting of con
vict labor is hereby prohibited.
Sec. 3. The employment of
children under the age of fifteen
years in any occupation injurious
i'll health or morals, or special haz-
ardous to life or limb, is hereby
prohibited.
Sec. 4. Boys under the age OF
sixteen years and women and girls

Tor United States Senator, is one
eighth Cherokee. Mr.. Owen was
born in Virginia and educated at
Washington and Lee University.

and statesman, his career has

THE CHURCH
AND LABOR,
Fraternal Delegates Are Welcomed
by Central Bodies and Re-
suits in Much Good.

'"The world of labor knows VIII
Maupin as editor of the 'Wage
Worker 1t is not so generally
known that he is also the fraternal
delegate of the Central Labor Un-
ion to the Minister'S Association of
Lincoln, Neb. For something like
two years Brother Maupin has been
serving in this capacity says the
Rev. Stelzle.
"1 recently asked him to tell me
very frankly what he thought of
the whole proposition. This is
what he said:
'"The exchange of fraternal dele
gates between the Minister'S Asso-
cition and Central Labor Unions is
no longer All experiment. 1t is a
demonstrated success both from
the standpoint OF the craftsman
and of the minister The minister,
by the very nature of his education
and calling, Withdrawn in Il large
measure from association with
workingmcn, finds Il new inspira-
tion for his service for the Master
in learning at first hand the needs

man, prone to cynicism by reason
of adverse fortune, learns that his
union is but physical demon
stration of the teachings of the
Nazarene.
AS a result, these two great or
CARNATIONS, the Church with its
moral uplift, and the Union with
social uplift are growing closer
together. In my own home city
of Lincoln, the presence of minis
terial delegates at our central
meeting is always warmly Y wecomed,
and he is always called upon and
listened to to with interst and pro-
fit. By reason of this better ac-
quaintanceship trades unionsts
have been invited to occupy pulpits
to explain the objects and aims
of unionism, with result that our
unions occupy higher place in
public estimation. The church
and trades unions need but to
know each to join hands and go
forth to grand victory for hu-
manity, and this being brought

their banners "Justice, Liberty
and Patriotism.' Their awaken
ing has been gradual, yet none the
less sure and forceful.
The Influence resulting there
trom has swept with irresistible
lorce the battlcments of greed; !;
and whole army of men and
women are bent on redeeming the
hves of their fellows, and thus
make their own position in life
more secure, and leave a noble eN-
ample and heritage for those who
must follow, when the, shall have

Union Man Missing.

Search is being made in various
cities for Michael Donnelly, former
president Amalgamated Meat
Cutters aud Butchers Workmen,
who disappeared from his home in
Kansas City four weeks ago.
Two years ago Donrelly was
sluggcd while acting as judge of
election of the Chicago Federation
Of Labor. He has never fully re-
covered from the beating and his
friends believe that he has lost his
reason. Donnelly was the moving
spirit in the great butcher strike
here in 1904.

conditions, contending for higher
wages, shorter work day, and more
humane treatment while toiling to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer cannot be more clearly demon
strated than by the influx into the
union under the unfavorable con.
ditions that West Virginia miners
have had to contend with during
the past two years.

ISSUE APPEAL
10 Organized Labor the Country for Financial and Moral
Support in the Great Struggle Now Being Waged
by Them for Freedom and Justice

To Organized Ldbor-Grcctiny:
The Commercial Telegraphers'
Union of America is now engaged
in a tremendous struggle with the
Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph Companies and the Asso-
ciated Press. The fight was not of
our seeking, but came as result
of lack of good faith on the part
of the employers in negotiations
with our representatives
Over 80 per cent. OF the Com
mercial Telegraphers are on strike,
and over 80 per cent of those
directly employed by the two COM
panies and the Associated Press
Our members reported to the strike
call unanimously, and 80 per cent
of those Telegraphers who were
not members walked out, and are
still out.
We are contending for principles
vital to every trades unionist, and
we believe Il defeat for us would
be setback to the entire labor
movement.
Our demands are:
IN EIGHT HOUR DAY
EQUAL P4 Y FOR WORK BY
MEN OR WOMEN.
FLFTFEN PER CENT IN
CREASE.
THAT THE COI1PA MES
FURNISH TYPEWRII,ERS.
We are now in the fifth week of
this struggle and sooner or later
victory may depend on our ability
to give financial assistance to the
strikers.
Our treasury contained a credit
able amount at the beginning of
this trouble, but the drain has al
ready proven a heavy one.
For more than month the
strikers have presented solid
front, reiterating day after day
and week after week their determ-
ination to remain out until an
honorable adjustment is had. The
employers, on the other hand,
''stand pat' and say to the press
''the strikers will return to work
once their pockets and stomachs
become empty"
1t comes to us from reliable
sources that the Board of Directors
of the Western Union, at their
meeting week ago, decided to
continue the fight for a limited
time, or SO long as the public will
| tolerate the demoralized condition
in which the telegraph service of
the country is now in.
( Feeling that we cannot with
( honor to ourselves. and in justice
=. to our fellow workers aud those in
sympathy with the trade union
movement surrender to the tele-
graph trust, we make this appeal
/ for financial assistance. in order
that we may care for our members
while the strike lasts. Our fight

To Organized Labor:

10 organized LdbOr:
The appeal of the Commercial
Telegraphers Union for financial
assistance has the full endorse.
ment and approval of the Execu.
tive Council Of the American
Federation of Labor.
Realizing the tremendous i'm
portance and the vast interests in
volved, the Executive Council
rendered its good offices to both the
organization and the companies.
The organization accepted the offer,
both the companies spurned it. It
is evidently the policy and hope
OF the companies to not only crush
the Telegraphers organization, but
their spirit and aspiration for a
brighter and better day. While
we do not aim at the humiliation
OF the companies, yet labor and it's
friends cannot permit the men be-
ing ridden over roughshod.
AN honorable adjustment of the
contest can be attained, if the com
panies understand that the Tele-
graphers can not be starved into
an unconditional surrender. To
accomplish this purpose labor
must come to the financial assist
ance of the Telegraphers.
All unions are. urgently request
ed to at once donate and volun-
tarily contribute as generously and
promptly as possible and to for
ward same to Wesley Russell, Secre-
tary-Treasurer, Room $50, Mopon

interest, and they will not permit
the repeal of the certificate law.
They declare that it would mean

The Meeting to Discuss Question Was Distinct
Failure---0ther Interesting News of
the Coal Fields.

The widely heralded Immigra-
ton Conference called by Cover
nor VIM. NJ. o. Dawson for last
Thursday proved to be an utter
failure. The Governor was too i'll
to be present and those who as
Sumed charge of the conference
promptly put Quietus upon the
movement, when Mr.. Samuel
Dixon moved to adjourn, without
any arrangements for future
meeting. The representatives of
the Mine Workers Organization
who where present were National
President John Mitchell, District
President Jas. NJ. Craigo, District
Secretary Ben. r. Morris, Sub.
District President Thos. Cairns,

the Italians in their mother tongue.
There will also be Il big meeting
.at I oil

Cedar Grove Monday evening, met
the men, organized the mine work
erS Of the Big Mountain and Cedar
Grove mines into Il new local union

very important question with Mr..
Carver, General Manager of the
Mecca Mines on Morris Creek, Mon
day, and held a very enthusiastic
