INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS BEHIND
COAL STRIKE

The coal miners i'm Wyoming ceased
work on September / in an effort to
resist a reduction of wages varying
from 10 to % cents a day. The Union
Pacific railway led the fight in the
ranks of the operators for the reduc-
tion in wages. The miners did not ask
for an increase in wages, but only for
the same scale and conditions that ex-
listed for the past year
The strike is general in Wyoming
except for a few independent mines.
which were willing to sign the scale
that existed during last year.
All the miners answered the strike
call and every mine is tied up tighter
than drum. No scab being at work;
Japs and Cinnamon alike are out,
standing shoulder TO shoulder with
their Caucasian brothers in the strug-
gle against the efforts OF the land
grabbing. coal stealing Union Pacific
to reduce the workers to lower econ
omic conditions.
For ten years OF glorious republican
prosperity the miners of Wyoming re-
ceived the same wages as existed dur
ing the panic OF the Grover Cleveland
regime, and Il was not until a year ago,
after a hard struggle on the part OF
the United Mine Workers to perfect
their organization that an increase OF
wages were secured. Thus at the be-
ginning OF the panic of 1907 the coal
miners received a taste of the glorious
prosperity that causes our land To
flow with milk and honey for the BEN
mt of the corporations. Not content
with receiving ten years all the con-
tents of the full dinner pail, the big
coal combines of Wyoming after one
year OF dividing up little OF glorious
prosperity with their wage slaves.

The prospects are that the strike
will extend and involve the entire

CANDIDATES OF THE SOCIALIST
PARTY OF MONTANA
Men and Women Devoted to a Revolutionary
Movement That Commend the Pride and
Respect of All Voters.

The Montana socialist party has
placed a state ticket in the field that
IL may well be proud Of Rev. L. ].
Duncan. who heads the ticket as can
didate for congress. is well known by
name TO all the socialists of Montana.
and personally known over a large
portion of the state where he has done
propaganda work for the party. His
speeches have universally given sat
isfaction. He is an able and scholarly
man who has unequivocally taken his
stand on the side OF the working class
and the socialist movement. He is
pastor of the Unitarian church of
Butte, a position he has held for sew
eral years, and is much beloved by his
congregation.
Harry Hazleton, the candidate for
governor. is a man well known to the
older socialists of Montana, as a num-
ber Of years ago he used to be an ac-
tive propagandist. making speeches in
various parts Of the state. His busi-
ness affairs of late years have inter-
ferred with his socialist activity. He
is one Of the partners In a fiourishing
tombstone business. established in five
OF the largest cities of Montana. He
is generous contributor to the party,
and has been one of the heaviest sup
porters of the Montana News. He is
man well respected all over the state
outside of the socialist party, and will
probably run considerably ahead of
his ticket.
Rev. +. L. Buzzell, candidate for
lieutenant governor. needs no intro
duction to socialist voters. He has
been a Methodist minister well-belov-
ed and respected throughout northern
Montana. where he has held charges
| for many years. He left his church
and surrendered his parchments that
he might be free to devote himself to
the social regeneration that he saw in

ing on before him. He took up farm
at Conrad. built bungalow on IL with
his own hands, and has got results in
his crops. trees. vegetables. etc. that
