Demands Cannon's Defeat

President Samnel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor
issued an appeal to the four mil
lion organized workmen and farm
ers of the country to unite on the
political field to prevent the re-
election of Speaker>Cannon of the
house of representatives:
Ono member of congress can
complain that he is in ignorance of
the desires of his constituents, or
that he has failed to received
warning that labor and it's friends
intend to elect only those who
have promoted and voted for the
legislation demanded,' says Com
perS.
MANY Congressman plead that
under the nomination of our genial
Uncle Joe Cannon it is impossible
to get these bills before the house.
They assert that Speaker Cannon
holds the house in an iron grip;
that he will not allow a bill to
come to a vote if he does not wish
to do so; that nc matter how sim
cere their desire to pass these bills,
Uncle Joe will not give them a
chance.''

The above law defying statement

Advocate, and is found on page 2
OF the Toledo Catholic Record.

OF Van Cleave's declaration that

by other champions of law and

Grievance Is Settled But the
Mines Will Not Run for
Some Time.
THE CABIN CREEK SLAVES
Feel the Iron Heel Again and
are Compelled to Dig 24O
Pounds More Coal For a Ton
Than Men in Union Fields
Operators Steal Out Of
the Mouths of Children.

After many consultations and
conferences with the operators of
the Hernshaw mines the organi-
zation has finally effected a settle
ment. Secretary Morris and Or
ganizer Krallman met Mr.. Price of
the Company and Commissioner
Kennedy on Tuesday night and
succeeded in having the men rein.
stated. The reinstatement will
take effect as soon as the mine
starts up which is somewhat in
definite, as the company claims
they have no. orders and have
more coal stored in Cincinnati than
can be sold for some time to come.
More prosperity.
The men on Cabin Creek are be-
ginning to learn the value of the
organization. Only a lew days
ago the operators Of that "guard''
ridden section notified the men
that they would have to dig 24O
pounds more coal for ton in the
future. Many of the, men are
leaving and there is considerable
dissatisfaction among them. Sever
al mass meetings were held, but
owing to the activity of the
sguards" nothing was done by the
men to in any way resist the action
OF the slave drivers. But the
worm will turn some day in these
scab fields, as they are being op.
pressed more and more and some
day the burden will become so
heavy that even the "guards'' will
be unable to force them to submit
to the iniquitous system longer.
The new company operating the
New Haven mines in the Pomeroy
Bend have made an agreement
with Vice President Lanham and
Organizer Krallman for the Or
ganlzation whereby the eight hour
day and other union conditions
have been secured. The new COM
pany expects to employ a large
number of men in the near future
This will be good news for the
miners of the Bend who have been
idle for the past year.
Organizer Craigo is back from
the Raymond City field where he
put in last week doing good work
for the Black Betsey, Raymond
City and Harmon's Creek locals.
Indications are that the member
ship will be greatly increased in
that section during the coming
month.
Vice President Lanham and Or
ganizer Craigo attended the meet
ing of the Olcott Local on Briar
Creek Tuesday evening and ad-
dressed the meeting. This local
has been increasing in membership
very rapidly Of late and in short

On Anti-lnjunction Plank of Re-
publican Platform--Is a Farci-
cal Straddle.

81 want to say to you that we, the
American Federation of Labor,
are not satisfied with the anti-in

platform. -
This statement was made by
Samuel Gompers, President of the
A merican Federation of Labor.

written for the July number of the
American Federationist. Labor,n
he continued, scannot be satisfied
with any makeshift. Hallway
promises mean nothing.a What I
say in that editorial are my views
and the views of labor organi-
cations as to this Republican plat
FORM"
In his editorial Mr.. Gompers
will say:
''The psychological moment has
arrived for total change of
Governmental policy toward the
workers.
Ono one can expect that the
toilers will complacently accept
the conception that they are a
servile class and will submit to
treatment at the hands of society
less favorable than is accorded to
citizeps in other walks of life.
"There is impending a great
campaign--a campaign and cleo.

well as the Presidency of the
United States and other executive.
legislative and judicial officers.
'No man aspiring to any of
these positions can evade his re-
sponsibility in this crucial hour.
'The workers have pleaded,
have appealed and besought the
powers responsible, but all in vain.
Labor will take. no fair-weather
promises as substitute for per-
formances.'
Will Not Support Taft.
Chicago leaders of union labor
declared after the Republican
National Convention was over that
the organized workingmen of the
country would not support Taft.
They said he was still the original
injunction Judge; that he had not
changed his opinions on the ques-
| olOh VI oue ieldllOD O1 Une courts TO
struggle between capital and labor,
and that the antiinjunction plank
in the Republican platform was
a makeshift measure intended to
deceive and hoodwink the laboring
man.
Taft is not acceptable to the
workingman," said E. N. Knock
els, Secretary of the Chicago Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.''
Bookbinders' President Talks.
"Organized labor throughout the
United States will bitterly oppose
Taft and Sherman" said Rober,
Glockling, OF New York, President
of the International Brotherhood
of Book binders, who arrived in
New Orleans Saturday, on a tour
among local unions.
GIVE consider Taft the father Of
the injunction, and nothing will
prevent the members of labor
unions from voting solidly against
the Republican ticket. Organized
labor will see to it that Taft meets
his Waterloo in November
