TIME FOR UNITED ACTION.

The only effective way to fight
the cossack and peonage system in
west Virginia is through the trade
union, and every worker who loves
his life and liberty must get info
the movement and lend his aid in
the battle for emancipation. To
that end all unions must federate
and affiliate and become ono
grand body and strike at the root
OF the evil with united force.
The State Federation of Labor
supported by every union, and
union man and woman in West
Virginia can accomplish untold
good along these lines and can
make its power felt from one END
OF the state to the other, and its
demand for justice for the masses
Will be needed by our legislators
and other public servants.
Organized efforts count, divided
forces are but vain STRUGGLES
against the inevitable.
The system" that has forced
these oppressive conditions upon
the workers are thoroughly organi-
zed and are working in united
body for the destruction of trades
in our state and the one
solution to the problem is for the
wage carriers to meet them with a
like thoroughly organized force and
present solid front, armed with
the Knowledge that we are fighting
tor justice and in righteous cause
