ORCHARD OVERTURNED.

"The prosecution in the Idaho
case has made such a misera BILE
failure in attempting to connect
Haywood with the murder of
Steunenberg, despite the careful
rehearsal Of the states burlesque
for year and half, that the
court proceedings could hardly be
considered seriously if it were not
for the tragic fact so plain to every
one that the mine owners and their
politicians and Pinkerton thugs
are thristing for the blood of union
officials" says the Cleveland
Citizen.
"Although struggling desper,
ately to obtain the lives of their
intended victims, it must be a
source of keen disappointment to
the plutocratic political Pink erton
villains to find that the unsupport-
ed testimony of their schooled and
overturned star witness, Orchard,
has proven a genuine boomerang to
their unholy cause. Instead of
finding the union officials in their
net, the latter have never been in
very great danger of being en-.
trapped, while the chief plotters
are discredited and disgraced by
being associated with the most
monumental liar and all around
blacklist scoundel that ever walked
the earth, and one who cannot be
disowncd by the mine owners,
politicians and their hirelings.

body, Wells, Borah, Hawley, Nc

horrcd by all men and for all time,
while the privileged class which
they represented has received a

ORCHARDS TESTIMONY.

Can a man of the Harry Orchard
stamp be trusted to give testimony
to hang men?-a man capable of
any intamy. It's logic that a man
who confesscs to murder, arson.
theft, bigamy and treachery to his
associates and many other crimes
would he stop at perjury, if it
would save him and hang any one
against whom he might bear p
grudge? He persiStenuy refused
to state any time that either of the
accused asked him to commit any
crime. A number of men who he
referred to during his schooled re-
cital on the stand as having PLAYED
certain parts in his narrative have
been placed on the stand and
proven him a past master in the
art of lying. 1t appears that
Orchard and the Pinkertons have
overdid their part and will reap
the consequences that usually over
takes those who disregard the laws
of the land.

THE INSULTED SUBSCRIBER.

That Hateful time is now at hand
when the labor paper editor once
more reminds his delinquent
friends how sadly and how badly
he needs that dollar. He fixes up
his most urbane, polite and apollo.
getic note that he can think of,
puts it in the office envelope, and
after risking two cents for one of
Uncle Sans stamps, he sends the
humble missive upon it's faithful
errand. Pretty soon the editor be-
gins to note results. A subscriber
comes in at the back door with IL
don't-you open your-mouth- to me
expression on his face, and i'm a
voice that is aimed to be built up
on the style of that of "Jack o.
the Beanstalk's Giant" when he
says: 81 smell blood,' he wants to
know what he owes on this paper.
Trembling as an autumn leaf,
and as gently as spring lamb,
the meek and lowly prince of the
sanctum looks through the lists
and haltingly informs the lordl;
delinquent that the book shows
that he owes one dollar. With
the air of an Eastern potentate,
the aggrieved reader of the
"county's favorite family paper
hands over the dollar.'' Then
he squares his shoulders, sticks
out his chest and bolts at the door.
"Iou can stop it, he says, and
then walks out with an air of a
man who has just received such
grlevous wrong that he fears to
speak for fear he'll loose control of
himself.

cations shall be recognized until
such time as such organization
shall abandon the wrong position
it has taken and join with the leg
1tlmate National and International
organization of it's craft or calling.
1t is movement that has for it's
objects the better organizing of the
state upon the right lines; it is the
work Of such an organization to be
constantly gathering statistics us
to the actual conditions of the
various lines of wage. earners in
that State and notify the National
and international offices of such
crafts of where the interests of
such organization can be advanced
by organizing new organizations
or strengthening those already in
existence.
1t has for part of it's object the
bringing of the members Of the
various crafts and callings more
closely in touch with the interests.
objects and aims of the trade
movements and principles all of
legitimate National and Inter
national craft organizations and at
the same time is not supposed to
interfere with the control of Such
movements on National lines, but
is destined to cooperate with the
national movement in carrying out
such plans as may be inaugurated
to further advance and protect the
interests of all wage earncrs.
1t is the only avenue through
which Legislation can be secured
for the bettcrment of the condition
OF the wage earners and through
which measures antagonistic to
organized labor can be successfully
fought.
There is great field for the West
Virginia State Federation along
these lines and every local union
in the State should lend it's assist
ance in the upbuilding Of the State
organization and placing it on a
basis where it can be of invaluable
assistance to the trade unionists of
the State.

ANOTHER VIEW OF TRADE UNION1SM


In an interview appearing in an
eastern paper recently, James M.
Lynch, president of the Inter
national Typographical Union,
gave some interesting information
as to the organization.
1t seems to be almost an instinct
with man to provide for his burial
after death. Men have been known
those in poverty-to laboriously
collect and cling to a small sum
for burial purposes, dcpriving
themselves of the necessaries OF life
in order to retain this money, be-
cause of the horror Of Ceiling a
pauper's grave.' Many associat-
ions provide for the interment of
their members by burial fund,
and especially is this true of trade
uniODs-perhaps all or nearly all
Of them.
1t was to be expected that, as
intelligent workingmen, the print
ers would be found in the lead in
such movement. While the
greater number of their local assoc
lations have burial funds Of their
own, from which to provide for
decent interment of their members,
the international Typographical
Union sends out from it's home
office in the Newton Claypool
Building, indianapolis, Ind, to
the officers of each subordinate
union $40 for each death of a
member in good standing reported
to it. While this is but modest
amount with which to pay the cx-
pcnses of 4 funeral, yet, added to
that provided by the local union,
it makes a very acceptable sum-in
some cities as much as $5OO-which
may be regarded as life insurance
as well as a burial fund.
The disbursements in this way of
this one parent union from May l,
1892, to May /, 1907, amounted to
SAB, 1O5; and i'll the year 1907, to
S39,27O. BY this burial fund
every member is guaranteed a re-
spectacle funeral-not as an act of
charity, for each member paws his
there is enough left at
least to enable his dependents to
live until plans can be made for
the future.
The death rate in the Internation
al Ty geographical Union for the
year ending May 1, 1906, was IA
per cent of the average member
ship, or a little moro than IL per
1000. The average death rate
since the establishment of the
burial fund has been l.21 per cent
about ~ per 900.
The death benefit features of
trade unions perhaps do not cut
much Of a figure III the statitics of
economies, but investigation will
develop that very considerable
sums are devoted to this purpose,
and it is also greatly to the credit
Of the printers that it is very rare
ly that a member of their society
or his family becomes a charge ON
the public, living or dead.

IAN Eye for an Eye"

: The Lyric Opera Company open
ed at the Wenatchee Theater last
night with a stirring four act melo-
drama whose theme was taken from
the old biblical policy of IAN eye for
an eye and 10th for TOOTH The
gallery was fairly well filed, but the
pit could have accommodated more.
Monday night undoubtedly occasion
ed the light attendance downstairs.
The play was of the popular melo-
dramatic type and was well inter-
preted Frequent applause greeted
| the players from all around the
huse, oand the specialties were negiv
house, and the specialties were given
hand between the acts.
The first act showed the interior
of pawn shop kept by Levi Morris.
In the store with him is young girl,
who had been pawned or at least left
with the broker several years before
for a monetary consideration, and
who united a queer mixture of world
~ wisdom with innocence. Meg Nor
ris, as she was called reminded one
of some of the characters in Dick
ems works.. with her strange sur
roundings and native shrewdness.
She posed as the niece of Levi, the
Hebrew broker. Jack Temple, dis
sipated young gentleman enters and
negotiates for a loan. Oliver Dash,
a witty young man without funds al
so enters, and Josiah Graw, a conf
dental man of gentleman, John
Milburn, who has plots to get his
employers property hires him as an
agent to assist him in his nefarious
work. Meg is let out into the same
family as a waiting maid and while
at the home creates several humor-
Gus situations by her ambitious et-
forts to act the role of lady. Act
II is in the Milburn home.
Act III is at the pawn shop again,
and is filled with stirring passages
in which Morris is murdered-shot
from the rear through an open win
dow by Graw, because the latter has
that he knows of his ma
to overthrow his hold
upon Milburn and upon himself. The
death scene of Norris was well in
terpreted. Avt w bound up the
broken threads of the drama and
showed justice triumphing over
wrong and everybody happy.
The company with the play sus-
tanned their various roles effectively, |
and while AN Eye for an Eye" was |
not altogether a pleasant drama yet |
it had its merits for bringing out |
common attributes of humanity
hose of selfishness, comedy, tragedy
and love. A good feature was the
1espised pawnbroker, crawling while
in his death agonies to pen

binary drink and, fixing it to his
taste, drank it. Smacking his lips,
he said: SThat is pretty good. |
