PRESIDENT
MITCHELL
Emphatically Denies the Rumor
That He is To Accept a High
Political Appointment--Has No
Plans For Future,

The following letter from Prcsi
dent Mitchell to the Mine Workers
Jrurnal puts quictus upon The
report that has been going the
rounds that he was to receive n
political appointment at he ex
plratlon OF his present term OF
Office:
Recently my attention was
called to newspaper story which
has been given wide circulation to
the effect that upon the expiration
OF my term as President of the u.
NJ. w. of a. / am to receive an
appointment TO some high political
Office, the impression being con
Neyed that l am retiring prepara-
tory to accepting such IL position.
81 have no information as to the
origin of this story, but whatever
alls source or purpose, | wish to
say that SO far as l am concerned,
no tendersof any political appoint.
ment has been made to me, and if
such a move is contemplated, |
know absolutely nothing about it.
1t is both painful and distaste-
1ul to me to be called upon to dis
cuSS matters of this character.
especially at Il time when am in
capacitated by illness, but | take
this occasion TO emphasize as
strongly as possible the statement
hitherto made, that my retirement
is based solely upon impaired
health and the consequent feeling
that, as result thereof, | can not
give to the organization that char
acter of service that is required
and properly expected of its Presi-
dent.
1T is probably natural that
there should be some Speculation as
to my future, and in order that
wrong impressions may not be
formed or credence be given to un
founded rumors-Some. Of them
possibly calculated to DO me injury
i wish to state that have made
no arrangements and reached no
conclusions as to what ! shall do
after April /, and so fa. as | am
now able to say, ] shall not de-
eide as tn my future work until
my term of office shall have ex-
pired. Yours truly.

THE UNION LABEL
IS APPROVED

During the past few years we
have secured for the Union Label
many converts, chief among which
are the associations that are co.
operating with organized labor for
the initiative and referendum, Tho
favorable attitude towards the un.
lou label is an incident, having
grown out of the sentiment Of
brotherhood caused by CO opera
ton for the restoration of their lib
critics, Following is the declara.
ton of the Washington State
Grange:
"lnasmuch as the representa-.
Clves of the Union Labor orpaniza.
lions of the state of Washington
haveunitcd their efforts with the
representatives of the Oranges of
the state in securing legislative acts
in the interests of the masses.
therefore, we, the delegates of this
convention, do hereby urge all
Changers within the state to use
the goods, as far as practicable,
bearing the label of Union Labor
manufacturer
Thus the cooperation which
started in working for the initia-
1--WE and referendum has extended
to an endorsement of the Union
Label: And the State Grange sub
mitted to it's locals the question of
adopting Grange Label.
And business men and the peo-
pie as the whole are generally at
tracted to the union label where
organized labor co-operates with
them for the establishment of their
sovereignty.
Isn't it clear that one of the ways
whereby the demand for the union
lobel is spreading is through the
cooperation that is taking place
Tor the establishment of the initia-
tive and referendum?

Strike Breaker Schools

Corporations centering in Los
Angeles are starting schools foI.
strike breakers on IL large scale.
The Scab Santa Fe and the South
ern Pacific railways have establish
Ell schools for telegraphcrs, while
the former road has also opened a
school for machinists, b0iler-mak-
ers, etc, at San Bernardino. The
Los Angeles Times has started a
school for linotype operators, and
now the Y. NJ. G. A. is becoming
mixed up in the industrial war by
opening a schOal for tailoIs, $50
Journeymen having gone on strike
for better conditions. Los Angeles
is great winter resort for the
pintes and they don't want to be
pestered with unions.

THE FARMERS
ARE AROUSED
To Fact That Interests are Indenti-
cal to Those of Organized Labor
of the Country.

Ohio is an illustration of the way
the people get together wherever
there Is a non partisan campaign
for the restoration of their liberties
the termination of machine rule.
In recent address by George King.
field secretary of the Ohio Direct
Legislation League, it is said:
The workers on the farm and
the workers in the shops are rapid
ly coming to see that tn cir interests
as producers are indentical. and
that they are common prey for the
big fellows at the top who clip
coupons and give orders to poiiti-
cal bosses. And the State Feder-
alton of Labor unanimously com
mended the work of the State
Grange and extended an invitation
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1907-11-21

to cooperate for the common
good.'
The Ohio State Grange at its last
session endorsed the Initiative and
referendum, and following its lead
subordinate oranges all over the
state are discussing the amendment
and commencing it.
And further, the rank and file
OF the business men of the state are
endorsing it. Indeed its strongest
Supporters and contributors are
business and professional men.
And as u general average l would
say that nine out of ten business
men over the state sign petitions
asking their representatives to vote
for the meaSure.''

THANK kSGINING APPEAL.

The Children's Home Society of
West Virginia once more makes an
earnest appeal to the generous and
patriotic people of Charleston for
liberal Thanksgiving donation to aid
IN homing and training the homeless
orphans of West Virginia, three hun
dred and sixty-seven of whom we
have rescued from poverty and vic
ious environments and now have
them well on the way to the goal of
good citizenship. Are we feeling
patriotic on this Thanksgiving occa-
sion! DO we wish for better West
Virginia! Then let us appreciate the
TACT that just what we Of today make
o. all the children of today that will
be West Virginia fifty years hence.
We can have better state only by
making all the children of today bet
ter men and women than we our
selves have been. Can the state. the
churches, society in general. afford
to have one child grow up under
vicious environments, and utterly
neglected in its moral training? We
are doing better work for the fu-
ture West Virginia than reform
schools and penitentiaries, since we
are preventing these children from
becoming such as must go to reform
schools and penitentiaries And we
receive from fifty to seventy-five an
nually
Kind reader is this good work not
worthy of your Thanksgiving dona-
ton Will YOU not aid us? We beg
leave to call on you for whatever
Your hearts prompt you to give.
Please do not turn the orphans down.
II we do not find you just send
check or postoffice money order to
