LAB0R'S ONLY SALVATION.

Within short time the politi-
cal spell binders will be sent forth
to tell the organized wage earners
of West Virginia how shamefully
they have been treated by the op-
ponent party. The republican
orators will abuse the democrats
for their hostility towards labor
and the democratic orators will
likewise lambast the republicans.
and the conscientious and think
ing union men will know that both
sets are telling the truth. History
shows that the laboring men have
suffered under the administration
Of both in our State.
The orators of both these old
parties will make our mountains
and valleys ring with their elo-
quent appeals to labor for its vote
this fall and many word pictures
OF what their party is going to do
for the toilers will decorate the
landscape. But after the election
III November this mighty host of
oratorical artists will forget the
laborlng masses and their flcwery
promises will fade from view like
the dew before the morning sun,
and the 'Fguards" will continue to
patrol the public highways and
leave death and destruction to the
cherished hopes of organized for
freedom and justice in their wake.
The conditions for which organ
lied labor is striving will be Sc
cured only through their own eff
forts concentrated in the trade
union movement. Stick to you

LABoR'S HOLIDAY.

LABOR'S HOLIDAY.
The celebration of Labor's Holt
day IN Charleston this year will be
a grand event and behooves every
union man to do all in his power
to assist in it's success. A mon
ster civic and industrial parade will
be one of the features of the day and
every union should be in line.
The oritorical and musement
features will be pulled off at the
Wigwam.
The proper and successful OBJ
servance of Labor Day this year is
more essential to the stability and
continued success of the trades
union movement than it has been
at any time during the last decade.
Labor Day was made a National
and State legal holiday through
the persistent efforts of united
labor. 1t is the one day above all
other days in the year that union
men celebrate and countless
struggles along united labor's
thorny path have demonstrated
that Labor Day celebration is
not complete without parade and
a street demonstration.
On that day all the eyes of the
city, state and nation are resting
upon union labor, and all the out
side world, from the street urchin,
the non-unionist, the merchant,
the professional man, the capital
ist, the millionaire the rankest
enemy, will judge you by the APP
pearance you present on the day
that you have chosen to celebrate.
Remember it is you who do not re-
spond and not those who do that are
responsible. 1t is the disgruntled,
the envious or the Indifferent that
are responsible if the old-timed
enemy of united labor is making a
desperate effort to DESTROY the
trades. unions, and with them the
hours and wages that are the re-
suits of many years of hard work
and lnnumerable hard fought
battles.
Relying upon the financial
stringency, the union busters are
already shouting with glee that
organized labor is thing of the
past.
While we know that the trades
union movement all over the world
Is marching on along the even
tenor OF its way to greater achieve
ments and higher civilization.
still it behooves us on Labor Day
to demonstrate to all the world in
a manner that will open the ewes
OF the blind that united labor OF
the Ranawha Valley is stronger
physically, mentally and morally
than it has ever been.
1t is the duty of every member
OF The trade and labor unions to
participate with all his soul in the
proper observance of Labor Dav.
and as good union man he will
perform this obligation not only
cheerfully, but with an enthusiasm
founded on gratitude, and carried
on wings OF hope to the ultimate
goal.
