Nome industrial worker., 1908-03-20

This is no time to mince words. The enemies of labor are now right here in Nome making determined effort to disrupt and destroy the Western Federation of Miners. In conformity with their usual tactics the enemies of labor are directing their attacks from within tie ranks of the organization as they have learned by experience that the poison ed dart of slander and misrepresenta- tion directed against those whom they failed to corrupt is the most effective weapon to discourage and confuse tbe rank and file. 1t is now to be deter mined whether the rank and file are sufficiently advanced to see thru the frame-up of the enemy or whether they must for some time yet be bam- boozled and betrayed by the capital ists and two-by four labor fakirs. Members of the Western Federation of Miners investigate think for your selves; scrutinize, and see if you can not observe all the ear marks of the Pinkerton, the capitalist politician and the labor fakir, purchased and prostituted by capitalist gold.

Miners Union Bulletin.

The Miners Union Bulletin of Fair banks has now passed completely into the hands of the union. Previous to January 27, 1908 it was owned by pri- eate parties, but published under the authority of the Miners Union. The following is taken from the Bulletin of January 21:
 "This paper will henceforth be con- trolled and managed by the voice and sentiments of the Union. It has been seen in the past that Union men who, though they had the welfare of the Union at heart would not contribute to or in any way assist the welfare of paper which should stand as a mouthpiece for their ideas. Working men of the Panama, this is your paper, the only true labor paper in this dis trict, and as such we consider it is entitled to your respect and support. and now that it has become the pro- tified in calling upon you for the as sistance that is necessary to make this truly representative paper. This can be done in three ways: By voic- ing your sentiments in it's columns, by helping to increase it's circulation and by encouraging those advertisers who patronize our paper.
 The Bulletin is now edited by Eel low Worker W. E .Priestly, and judg- ing from the two issues we have re- ceived since MT. Priestly assumed charge, the Bulletin is destined to be very useful organ in the education and organization of the workers of the Panama.

No Comment Necessary.

r The following two paragraphs are taken from the editorial columns of the Gold Digger of March l4th. This is the paper owned by S. H. Stevens, better known as Big Mitt or Soapy Steve.
 "The mem bers of the Mine Workers Union are to be congratulated on the election of their new officers. With such men as those elected the miner, the merchant and the employer will all secure fair deal. These new officials can be depended upon to con- serve the best interests of unionism, and at the same time treat others fairly and decently. Another step in the right direction was the action taken looking to change in the edi torship of the weekly paper Such rot as has appeared in it's columns of the "employers and employees having nothing in common" order the Gold Digger is of the opinion is not the sentiment of the majority of the un- ion but only the rawlings of that de- luded parsonage who has so inaptly filed the editorial chair. This paper rejoices to see this movement in the right direction and we are sure that great good will result. Anarchy and unionism to quote Editor Turner have nothing in common and cannot mix any better than does oil and water. ''
 "Tape orm Turner, erstwhile mis- manager of the weekly is singing his swan-song, by making vicious attacks on people whose "shoes he is un- worthy to latch. He is down and out and will soon join members of other editorial misfits who once throve in our midst on the journal istic garbage pile. It is more than likely the parcel of rats that have been getting out the paper for him, will be sent to join him in the print ers' limbo whence he is bound. One thing is certain, with their busting from the scab office, no decent print shop will give them room and they, too, will have to return to the crap table and such various other pursuits

present incumbent as editor of the Industrial Worker Steve thinks the miners should have an editor whose literary genius shines more radiantly etc. Now we have never tried to edit the Industrial Worker in accordance with the ideas of such characters as Soapy of the itching palms neither do we intend to do so. However, when the miners decide they want another editor, they will choose one, and that too without the assistance of Big Mitt Steve or any mental macque of the capitalist class.

as they were want to indulge in in other days"
 Comment is unnecessary; all who know Soapy Steve, know that the editorial was never witten by him, as his ignorance is of such density that he can not converse dramatically, let alone write his editor ials However the quoted editorials thow an inter esting side light upon the unprin- cipled agitation made by the local labor fakirs, who would disrupt the union and sell themselves, body and soul, for an ounce of capitalist gold.

1t is said of the Marquis of Town, that when young man and engaged in battle, he saw q drummer at his side killed by a cannon ball, which scattered his brains in every direc- tien. His eyes were at once fixed on the ghastly object, which seemed to engross his thoughts.
 A superior officer observing him, supposed he was intimidated by the sight, and addressed him in a manner to cheer his spirits. "Oh, said the young marquis, with calmness but severity, "I am not frightened; 1 am only puzzled to make out how any man with such quantity of brains came to be here!''

Horse and Buggy Overturned.

Taking fright at a passing bicycle,
the horse of Mrs. D. E. Dozer tried
to run away on Fifth street at $40
this afternoon, but as it started to
turn south on Main slipped on the
freshly sprinkled street and turned
completely over, jerking the buggy
upside down and throwing the driver,
Mrs. Dozer, her little son and baby
odt into the mud. The buggy landed
squarely on the horse and he could
not get up until released from its
weight. Except for mud on the clothes
of the three occupants and some
scratches on the boys face, the acci-
dent was without damage or injury.

BAPTIST MINISTER AT
THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE

at this mornings session of the
teachers institute, addressing the
school people on the necessity of
sticking to their subject and hewing
in a straight line, once they take up
a certain subject or certain line OF
work. His address was bristling with
good points and was delivered with
Mr.. Vermillion's characteristic vim
and clearness. Mrs. ]. J. Beck gave
splendid paper on primary teaching.
There were many visitors, and they,
as we'll as the teachers, seemed to
enjoy the program of classes. The
Institutes program varies daily, one
subject occurring not more than once
in the entire weeks course. In fact,
the teachers hope to cover the entire
course of study in the five days of
normal classwork. Everybody is in
vited to come and visit the normal

Levers Has a Word to Say.

J. H. Levers called at the Record
office this morning and said: The
key to the trouble l had with some
of the people of Artesia is that my
father is in the real estate business.
The night 1 took the picture machine
to Artesia and while I was waiting
for the train at the Roswell station,
a party of prospectors asked me
about the price of land around Ros-
well. I answered their questions and
the Artesia real estate man who was
with them took offense at my part In
into'' the prospectors and had merely
told them in answer to questions that
land could be bought around Roswell
at from ten to two hundred dollars
an acre, and that Roswell land was
better than Artesia land, although
the latter was good.
The Artesia real estate man car
ried on high about it, and when I got
to Artesia with my picture machine,
found that an effort would be made
to keep me from giving a show. A
phonograph was put in front of my
location, and everybody was prevent
ed from entering if possible. When
two-thirds through the first film the
gas part of my machinery broke
down, and 1 announced that if the
machine could be repaired, l would
give a show the following night. 1t
was impossible to make the repairs
in Artesia, and 1 returned to Roswell
the next day. I gave back all the
money that was demanded, which
was So out of receipts of S7.45. was
never placed under arrest.
LAS to the controversy about the
price of land, it seems that the Arte-
sia men had shown the prospectors
the valuable improved farms east OF
Roswell and had told them the price,
from $500 to $500 an acre, but, $50
the prospectors said) had told them
nothing of the cheaper land around
Roswell, and had claimed that Arte-
sia land was as good as Roswell land.
Then, when the prospectOrs asked
me about it and 1 told them the whole
truth, the dealers at Artesia were
angry and took out their spite on
me when I had unavoidable bad luck.
understand that the prospectors did
not buy at Artesia That also accounts
for it,
