The ''model' mine at Mariana.
Pa, in which upward of $50 lives
were snuffed out, was another non
union shambles. A local union
had just been started in the place,
the employees having become dis
satisfied with the treatment ac
corded them by the "modeI' mine
barons and decided to make col
lective demands for improved in
dustrial conditions. Nearly all
these mine catastrophes occur in
districts where the plutes ''run
their business to suit themselves
and pay no attention to the de-
mands of employees. If there were
a few hangings Of irresponsible
and greedy mine barons there
would be fewer horrors to
chronicle Citizen.

LABOR LEGISLATION.

alton of Labor will at the coming
session of the legislature make an
energetic effort to secure labor
legislation that will be of some
benefit to the toiling masses of the
state.
President Wclch will be on the
ground and look after the measures
presented to the law makers by
the Federation and besides several
Of his colleagues many other
labor leaders from the miners,
railroad brothcrhoods and other
organizations will also be on hand
to fight for their rights.
If the unions of the state ever
expect to accomplish anything i'll
this direction they must all unite
and it is now up to them all to get
into the State Federation and lend
financial and moral assistance.
Those who are already members of
the state body should see that their
financial obligations are up to date
and those who are able should
donate all they can afford toward
the cause; those who are not af1ili-
ated, should do so at once, so as to
place the Federation on a financial
and numerical basis where it
can do some good for the masses

pIoNers Liability Act: Law to

FALSE PROPHETS.

The prime mover in the present
effort of. the operators to force a
reduction cfwages upon the miners
in the Kanawha field, in the month
of October was making his voice
ring throughout the valley telling
the miners that his company had
orders galore at fiattering prices
and that if Mr.. Taft was elected all
his mines would open in full blast
and promised them that peace and
plenty would follow.
The election returns had hardly
been canvassed before this a wind
merchant began his battle against
the miners for a reduction.
But he will find that bluff,
buster and blow will not scare the
battled scared heroes who delve in
the bowels Of the earth in the
Kanawha valley. They will stand
as one man against CZarism and
fight for freedom, liberty and
justice regardless of the threats

decribeS it as a rcgretablc incid ent

OH! WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

! The following is a portion of al
article that appeared in Dixon's
Charleston Mail under date line OF
October 2S, headed as follows
''Paint Creek out as whole al
the Barbecue.
'sPaint Creek in the heart of the
mining belt in West Virginia,
where Union labor is employed,
turned out almost as Il whole,
Tuesday, to the big Republican
barbecue and to greet Hon. Joseph
Holt Gaines, Republican candidate
far Congress, and Capt S. 3. Avis,
the fearless prosecutor of Kanawha
county, who has guaranteed the
people of kanawha county that he
will use every effort within his
means to prevent the corruption
of the ballot at the election. Xxx X
Enthusiasm was at a high pitch
during the whole meeting.
The Mail and it's henchmen along
about that date were doing every
thing in their power to make the
union men believe that they were
their greatest friends and that if
they followed them peace and
prosperity and justice would pre-
vail.
And now an emissary Of the
self same Mail says that ''union
labor ,''as a whole'' will be
"turned out" of the company
houses on Paint Creek-"every
d-n one of Them unless they
come to the company's terms and
stand Il reduction III wages. VIII
the officers of the law allow these
people to be thrown out in the
public highways without due
process of law, or will they per.
NIT the same damnable tactics to
be pursued that occurred on Cabin
Greek?
"Enthusiasm'' does not pre-
vail on Paint Creek today, but
determination is written on the
face Of every miner to stand for his
rights under the constitution of
the United States and assert his
American manhood by standing
by his family and the joint agree
ment entered into in this city with
the operators last spring.
Election and. industrial prom
ises, like pic crust; are soon
broken, when made by plutocTa tic

of West Virginia have found out
to their sorrow on more than one
occasion.

The lawless thugs still patrol
the public highways and deny the
wage earners in the scab coal fields
the right of free speech and the
other privileges guaranteed under
the constitution. Will the officers
of the law ever do their duty to
enforce the law and sweep the
guard system from our state /!

One of the coal operators told
the miners that if Taft was elected
prosperity would reign in the
kanawha field. Now he tells
them unless they accept a reduc-
ton in wages he will throw every
d-n one of them out of the com
pany houses into the public high
ways. He has always been a greet
sswitcher.
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1908-12-17

If the miners accept the long
ton, the ten hour day will come:
the monthly pay will follow; the
pluck me store will trail close be
hind; reduced wages will follow in
its train; children will then bc
driven into the mines: starvation
and wage slavery will hang over
all and the lawless ''guardsn will
reign supreme throughout the
Valley.

be driven by the servile and in

the natural order of things. Natural
ly the soil is found on top and the
clay on the bottom. If this order is
reversed In constructing a road, the
result will be less satisfactory than
if the soil be left at the top Of the
road, for soil makes better surface
to road than clay. If the road
bed is largely clay to start with, it
will be we'll to place sandy soil or
clean sand on top. A covering of 6
to 10 inches of sand upon clay that
persists in breaking up into deep
mudholes will usually be satisfactory,
and if sand enough is added, this clay
will cease to make mud. If the road
bed is composed of sand it can be
improved by an application Of clay.
The rule for a serviceable earth
road, then, is as follows: Make ditch
es on each side and keep them open;
haul sand and gravel upon sections
needing this treatment; use a road
machine and split log drag judi
ciously; follow the "stitch in time"
rule and give an earth road the same
persistent attention you would give
your prize acre, factory or store, and
it will pay as large a profit in proper
tion to your individual outlay.-Cen-
