THE JOINT AGREEMENT.

Within a short time the opera
tors and miners af this District
will meet in joint conference with
view of renewing the joint agree
ment and it is confidently expect
ed that u settlement will be reached
without difficulty, but there prob
ably will be a few changes made.
There is strong sentiment in
favor of the renewal, among both
parties concerned, and especially
SO among the miners. During the
life OF the presens agreement there
has been unusual stability Of wages
and working conditions and the
most harmonious relations have
prevailed between the miners and
operators of this field.
1t is certainly to be hoped that Il
satisfactory settlement will be
reached which will insure two
years more of peace and harmony
10 the kanawha coal fields and the
outcome of the conference will be
awaited with usual intesest bv the
entire population Of fhe Kanawha
Valley.

THE REORGANIZATION.

After five years of varied ex-
perience the State Federation of
Labor has at last been placed on
firm and solid foundation. The
reorganization which occurred at
Huntington last week under the
personal supervision of Frank
Morrison, Secretary of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, resulted
In the getting together of the labor
forces of the entire state and from
this time forth the state organi-
zalion will be conducted in the
interest of the entire labor move
ment of the state. The officers
elected are all energetic, wide
awake men and have the con
fidence and esteem of their con-
stituents.
Every local union in the state
should at once affiliate with the
organization and assist in making
IL one OF the most powerful in
the country. 1t is the only way
that labor can ever expect to ac-
complish anything in the way of
securing remedial labor legislation
Agitate, educate and organize
and then we can legislate. Sue
cess to the new body and the cause

TARIL OF THE SERPENT.

The great serpent of West Vir-
glnla, whose body is made up of
the non union mine owners, their
notorious 'guard" and private de-
tectlve system and some of the
official machinery of the State, has
again made its appearance.
Since the great Monongah mine
disaster there has been much talk
and many promises eminating from
nigh officials Ofthe state in reference
to the enactment and enforcement
OF needed mining lcgislation, but
when the crucial moment arrives
the self same men ignore their pro
misses to the people and bctray tn ose
who have placed confidence in
them.
The first measure to fall was the
guard bill which was proposed to
correct the lawless ''guard' system
which has been publicly con-
demned by the Governor and all
fair minded men in the State.
But the powers that rule the
State had cl cted that the bill
should not pass. and despite the
heroic efforts of Senators Sam.
Montgomery and Adam Littlepaee
III the interest of honesty and
justice, 1t met an unmeriteu de-
fea,.
AS further proof that organized
labor has been betrayed, one has
to but glance over the mine in
Vestlgating committees apology to
the operators and mining depart
ment and their utter neglect to
carry out the spirit of the resolu-
ton creating the committee. And
now, upon top of all this the an
nuncement comes from the foun-
tain head that there is NO MINING
LEGISLATION NEEDED and
that our laws are sufficient if en-.
forced.
Ii the esteemed Governor OF
West Virginia or any one else car
enlighten us to how the laws car
be enforced under the presen,
damnable ''guard' system and il

mining population. Once more
the trusting citizens of this state
have been betrayed, intelligence
lnsultcd and our laws-such as
they are--set at naught under the
guise of legislative investigation
Infamous shameless servants of the
peaple, commission by joint reso-
luton of the legislature to investi
gate the cause of destructive ex.
ploslons in our coal mines have
wantonly disregarded their solemn
obligation, squandered the peoples
money, palliated the violations OF
the law, and trampled every rule
of honor and justice under their
unfaithful feet.
Audacity palesto insignifigance
before the paradoxical essay of
| these lusty buccaneers of political
treachery.
A synoptical report, under a
resolution vesting them with
abundant authority to probe every
nook and corner and subtcrfuge
used or adopted to prevent the
public from knowing the truth,
and yet from the Stuart to the
honongah disaster have they
found one condition that they deem
TO be criminal on the part of the
operators. The Stuart mine is
known and admitted to have been
operated in violation Of the law,
yet this committee of Investigation
very cautiously philosophise as
to whether "more men would have
been killed. No condemnation
OF the political manager who ma
nlpulated the number of men en-
ployed in the mine by reducing
the number Of men to the require
ments of the law upon the notice
OF an intending visit of the in
spector. John Nugent's solid shot
excuse for Master Dixon is more in
harmony with the eternal fitness of
things than a "whitewashed
report that is neither true nor false.
which, to divert attention from
the known wilful violation of the
law by Dixon's operating com
pany, a desultory attack is made
on Inspector Paul and his force of
deputies to shield political dicta-
tor and stultify themselves.
The studied misleading state
ments of this committee is uu
equaled in the history of politica
graft, but nowhere is it so clearly
manifest as where the inspectors
are praised for their work al

SAWS of themselves that they did
not investigate the Monongah un

after the explosion. Giving to

were not killed-posessed of any

that any one comedies that the
Monongah explosion was \ dust cx-
