MINERS ADVISED
TO ENTER POLITICS
In Illinois by President John H.
Walker Who Attacks Legislature
For Holding Up Mining Measures.

In statement just given out, j.
II. Walker of Danville, president
of the United Mine Workers of
Illinois, advises miners to enter
politics. He attacks the stale
legislature for holding up legisla-
ton which, he says, would de-
crease the number of fatalities in
coal mines. The statement saws
in part:
statistics show that there were
% 500 men killed in the coal mines
of our country in the last 16 years.
If we stop to think, l believe that
the American ration will rise
above the dollar mark, at least as
far as European countries, in its
consideration of human life and
enact and enforce necessary legis-
lation. At least, the workers who
are paying this aW full cost should
rise up and put stop to it. If
they will elect men out of their own
ranks on platform built by them
selves, they can stop it. Their ex-
perlences with the last sessions of
both the state and national leeis-
lative bodies should satisfy them
that their only hope lies in acting

the tr..der had to pay toll to every

maintain schools that the poorest

DESERVED
TRIBUTE.
Jake Fisher WAKES Eloquent; in
His Estimate Of John Mitchell,
the Peerless Leader of the Miners

Jake Fisher, the democratic
leader in our State Seuate, paid the
following high tribute to John
Mitchell, in recent Washington
interview:
Mitchell undoubtedly is the
| greatest labor leader this country
ever saw. have known him for
several years, and on numerous
occasions have had opportunities
TO Judge of his character and abili-
| ty. lie served the miners not be-
cause of any pecuniary benefit, but
| because he loves them. His salary
understand, has been 81, 500 a
year, while the attorney for the
Miners Union received twice as
much. 1t is unnecessary to say
that Mitchell has had to spend ev-
cry cent of his salary, and more,
though he has not had much more
than his salary to spend, for he
came up from the ranks.
''John Mitchell was born a lead
er of the laboring classes. He
passed his apprenticeship in the
mines, and he knew the hardships
OF the men he served. He is not
an educated man in the sense of
having acquired an education in
schools or colleges, but he has that
broad education which comes from
wonderful mind and keen OBJ
servation, aided by universal
sympathy for mankind that few
men In this selfish world psssess.
"He is the most remarkable dip
lomat 1 have ever known. It
makes no difference with whom he
is dealing he is always able to hold
his own, and in way that invar-
lably gives him the best of th>.
deal. l heard him speak before
the miners in their own neighbor-
hood, and l have heard him ad.
dress distinguished audiences, COM
posed OF State officials and digna-
taries, and all times he was easily
master of the occasion. He is not
an orator from a rhetorical stand
point, but he is one OF the most
torceful and convincing speakers it
has ever been my privilege to lis
ten to. he always sends his audi
ences away with the belief that
John Mitchell has the right view
of the question. Were he a poll
ucian ami not | labor leader, he
would be of the stuff that Presi-
dents are made

KING HEROD's ROOSTER.
Tho Legend of ST. Stephen, First of
the Noble Army of Martu.s

Tho Legend of ST. Stephen, First Of
the Noble Army of Martyrs.
Ever since that first Christmas eve
the cock has crowed all night long on
the anniversary to keep away evil
spirits. for the cock is holy bird and
knowing one. There is a pleasant
tale of him and st. Stephen, the first
martyr, whose day is Dec. &c, close by
his dear Lords.
st. Stephen was King Herod's stew.
ard, it seems, who served him In the
Kitchen and at table. One night as he
was bringing in the boar's head for bis
masters dinner he saw the star Shin
Ing over Bethlehem. Immediately he
set down the huge platter and ex-
claimed:
NO longer, Herod. will be thy serv-
ant, for greater King than thou is
born"
What ai!eth thee?" cried the king
wrathfully. do you lack meat or
drink that you would desert my serv-
ice for another's?"
Nay" answered Stephen; "I lack
neither meat nor drink, but the Child
that is born this night is greater than
all OF us, and him only will l serve"
THAT is as true" quoth Herod, smit-
ing the table with his fist ..as that this
roast cock on the platter shall crow be-
fore u.s."
Hardly We're the words out of his
mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowed Justify, "Christus ma
tuS est!' AT this proof that Stephens
words were true Herod was so angry
that he made his soldiers take Stephen
outside the walls of Jerusalem and
stone him to death. And this Is the
reason why unto this day St Stephen
Is the patron OF stonecutters.-Abbie

AN URGENT
APPEAL
To Organized Labor for Financial
Aid in Defense of Free Press
and Speech.

The following circular letter has
been sent out by the Executive
Council of the A. F. of L.:
To all Organized Labor, Greeting:
Justice Gould, of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia.
has issued an injunction against
the American Federation of Labor
and its officers, officially and indi-
vidually.
The injunction invades the lib
erty of the press, the liberty Of
speech. 1t enjoins the American
Federation of Labor, or its Off GERS
from printing, writing, or orally
communicating the fact that the
Bucks Stove and Range Company
has assumed an attitude of hoStili-
W toward labor, and that organ
lied labor has made this fact known
and asks its friends to use their in
f1uence and purchasing power with
view of bringing about an AUST
ment of all matters in controversy
between that company and organi-
zed labor. The injunction is Of
the most sweeping character, and
it, as well as the suit in connection
Herewith must, of necessity, be
contested in the courts, though it
reach the highest judicial tribunal
of our country.
With this is a reprint of an edi-
torial from the February. 1908,
American Federationist, entitled
'Free Speech, Free Press Invaded
BY Injunction Against A. +. of l..
A Review and Protest. The
editorial contains a full presenta-
ton of labor's position in regard to
this injunction,
The Executive Council Of the
American Federation of Labor has
retained the services Of Hon. Alton
b. Parker, former Chief Justice OF
the Court of Appeals of the State
of New York and Messrs. Ralston
and SiddOns as counsel to defend
the rights of labor and the more
general rights of all our people in
volved i'll this injunction and suit;
the rights, as we have said, of the
freedom of press and the freedom
of speech.
The Norfolk convention of the
American Federation of Labor au
thorized the levying of an assess
ment OF one cent per member OIL
affiliated organizations for this case
and gave the Executive Council
power to levy additional assess
ments, If necessary. One of these
assessments has been levied, but it
Is found to be insufficient to meet
the exigencies and needs of the
case.
We believe that organized labor
its membership and its friends
would prefer to make voluntary
contributions of financial aid rath-
er than additional assessments be
levied.
Because of the necessity to de-
fend the fundamental rights of
free speech and free press of the
working people today, and which
may involve the freedom of the
press and the freedom Of speech of
all our people in the tutura, we APP
peal to all unions and union mem
bers, and the friends of Justice to
contribute as promptly and as gen,
erously as they can, in order that
legal defense fund may be at the
disposal of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to defend the rights
of labor, and the rights of our pen-
pie before the courts.
