TIE fat has got to come off quickly but

only one thing can be depended upon.
Exercising or dieting are too slow. The

trip to her druggist and get a case of
Marmola Prescription Tablets, which will
cost her about IS cents.ssss
Taking one of these after each meal and
at bedtime should be enough to bring her
to the ''losing-a-pound-a-d stage be-

hardly believable that such delightful re-

NO MARRIAGE WITH GARRISON
Miss NIaIoney VIII Remain Single a
While Longer.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-Announce-
ment that Helen Maloney has put
aside all idea of matrimony for the
present, at least, has come following
the publication of an advertisement
which simply said that there would
be no marriage between her and
Samuel Clarkson.
1t is said by relatives here that the
abandonment of the proposed mar
rage was on account of the proceed
ings which Marquis Maloney has in
stituted to have the Roman Catholic
church sanction annulment of the
marriage with Osborne.
1t is pointed out that If Miss Ma
Ioney should become a wife while the
case is in the hands of ecclesiastical
authorities at Rome it would be sure
to prejudice her case. Some days ago
an advertisement similar to that
printed today was published In q
London paDer.

Soon after his arrival in Washington
Mr.. Smiths interest in Burns was stimu-

to recall those battles, as I looked
about me. Stretched out at full
length, thickly dotting the lawns,
were the forms of the fighters in
the modern battle, the fallen in
the battle for bread. OUT of
works, "hoboes" driven from their
ten cent beds in the vermin- infest-
ed lodging houses, seeking to
escape the heat, and snatching
nights fitful rest in the square.
In Independence Square, under
the shadow of the tower where the
old bell had rung out to proclaim
liberty throughout the land, to all
the inhabitants thereof, there
they lay, the victims of a vicious
social order. And their liberty?
Gone. No liberties left them but
to seek work or starve. No chance
no hope, no opportunity, no indie
pendence. Has the gallent strug-
gle Of their forefathers been in
vain?
Capitalism has but one god, and
his name is profit. In the wor-
ship of their god the upEolders of
capitalism reck not of the lives
and liberties of their fellow men.
They need the workers for profit.
they employ the workers for profit
and, when their insane system of
production has wrecked itself,
they discharge the workers, for
profit. They control the powers
Of government, subsidize the
courts, bride legislators and ex-
ecutives, for profit. Every move
of the capitalist class is made with
an eye to profit. And here is its
result! On every public square,
in every city of the land, thous-
ands of victims of profit are max
ing their beds on the grass, thous-
ands are wanderers, vainly seek
ing employment. Thousands of
homes are destroyed, husbands
and wives, parents and children,
separated. For the profit ola few.
How long will it be till the spark
of manhood, that glows in the
breasts Of even the most degraded
being, will flame up into a roaring
fire, till the slaves of capitalism
arouse themselves and throw off
the yoke Of profit? How long will
it be till the old bell again rings
out liberty, real liberty, indus

mont mines. This mine has been
the scene of much trouble in the
past; i'll 1902 the Company operat-
ing the mine at that time, refused
to carry out the provisions of the
contract with the Organization
and many local strikes followed
and the Company was unable to
keep men in their employ to sue
cessfuily operate the mine owing
to conditions they forced upon the
men. They expended large
amounts of money sending so call
ed labor agents out in search Of
men, but they were unable to Sc
cure men who would stand for
their discrimination and were
finally forced to sell out to the
Winifrede Coal Company. This
change in ownership was hailed
with delight by the miners, as the
Winifrede Coal Company had al
ways been recognized as generous
and fair in its treatment to it's men
and as a result, peace and harmony
prevailed until recently, when a
change was made in Superintend-
entS.
The new superintendent being
an experienced non-union mine
boss from the New River field and
not being satisfied with the sys-
TEN Of operation, he has concluded
to install the New River method.
1t only took him short time to
learn that the men had become in.

partly through slack work had al
lowed their Local to become prac.
tically extinct. and he at once took
advantage of the situation and
concluded to force the New River
conditions upon the men. His
first step was to attempt to dis
charge the checkweighman, but
the acknowledgment being a duly
elected representative of the men
refused to quit, but the Super
intendent, to accomplish his end
has served an ejectment notice
upon the acknowledgment. In ad-
dition to this he has adopted the
notorious blouse Lease systemD
which if successfully carried into
effect will place all men in the EN-.
ploy of the Company at his mercy,
as under the provisions of the
lease. he can putthe men out of
the houses after serving them with
five days notice to vacate; thus.
he can eject them on any old
ground he desires.
l am unwilling to believe that
the company is aware Of the
action of the superintendent, as
has been above stated they have
always been fair in their dealings
with the men.
In conclusion, I want to point
out the danger to the miners Of
the Valley, to becoming Indifferent
to their local unions and allowing
them to go down, as the above,
and several other incidents that
have come under my observation
in the past month clearly demon
strate what they may expect at
the hands. of the operators,
if they allow their locals to go
out of business. 1t behooves every
miner in the Valley to get into the
organization and do his part to re
tain the conditions that it has
cost us so much to secure.
Arouse miners and do YOUR
duty to yourself and family, for
unless you do, it will only be a
question of 4 short time until we
will be working under the old
conditions that prevailed in the
kanawha Valley before the advent
of the United Mine Workers Of
America.
