STRENGTHEN YOUR UNION.

The following was clipped from
the Steam Engineer and bears
many truthful suggestions; that
should receive careful consider
alton by the average living wage
earners:
1T is becoming palmer each day
that the union labor movement
gains little by denunciations of the
organizations which are formed for
its destruction, or of any of those
who have been chosen by the in
terestS' to conduct that organiZa-
ton. There are really only two
remedies to be applied. They are
to strengthen and extend union or
ganization and to promote the
movement for public and private
arbitration. A great English
statesman and writer has said:
I" we cannot expect industrial
peace unless we treat the man who
has the commodity of labor to sell
with the same consideration that
we do the mau who comes to us
with any other commodity This
is the principle we must stand for
in our relations with our employ
crs. While it is folly to believe
that the unions can be destroyed,
it is still greater folly not to go on
strengthening them so that they
can effectually resist destruction.
But above all we must stand for
mutual concession adjustment in
case of differences and for reason
able trade agreements to avoid
differences. With this spirit in
operation between employers and
unions, DIR. Van Cleave and his
associates and hackers will before
long find themselves like Othello,
lamenting their lost occupation. -

WHERE ARE WE AT.

Because of the fact that the
criminal coal corporations OF the
state refuse to obey the laws the
department of mines may be dis
continued. Things have come to
a pretty pass when a few capital
lists are larger than the state
government.
If it was a few half starved
miners on strike against in
human treatment or for living
wage the state militia would be
called out to whip them into sub
lection. But the coal barons can
ride rough shod over the entire
citizenship and the state govern
ment bows in humble submission
to their tyrannical rule.
For despotic rule West Virginia
has Russia beat to Standstill.

STAND BY YOU OFFICERS.

When trades uniOnistS elect a
member to an office, it does SO not
to make him target for censure
and abuse, but that he may be a
center around which the members
shall gather to make effective the
work of the organization. This is
a lesson that has not taken hard
enough hold on the minds of union
mem bers.
There is a peculiarl perversity
possessing many union people that
makes them knock the men they
have elected to office. They seem to
to have an idea that because they
have elected brother to office
they have right to dog him to
their hearts content. They treat
him very much the same way the
Indians used to treat their squaws.
and worse. The Indian made his
squaw do the work, but he didn't
have much to say. While the
union man piles all the work of
the organization on the shoulders
OF the officer and a heap of abuse
on his head.
If the members who are guilty.
Of this folly would have as much
to say in the way of boosting as
they have in the way of knocking
West Virginia would be much
better organized and better con-
ditions would be enjoyed by all.
Less curb stone talk and more at
tentlon given to your union the
easier will be the work of the
officers and the more successful
the organization.

CONSTITUTION IGNORED.

The late legislature treated the
peoples demand to give them re.
lief from the lawless ''guard' sys.
tenn was treated with silent con.
tempt, and in this connection it
may not be amiss to again point
out the danger Of maintaining a
despotic institution of this kind if
our time honored principles of
democratic government and in
dividual rights for free press and
free speech are to be preserved.
Labor has set forth in most
positive terms, good sound prac-
tlcal reasons why this infamous
system should be abolished or
placed under the control Of the
law. Among the foremost OF these
reasons are that there is absolutely
no necessity for such gang of
rutlianS in the state. Our people
are law abiding and peaceful and
insist that the "guards' should be
made to respect the laws of the
state and be bonded the same as
the elective officers and be subordi-
nate to the civil authorities. The
present system as maintained
in the nOn-union coal fields
is at variance with the funda.
mental principles of a free country.
The failure of the legislature to
pass the ''Guard' bill was not in
accordance with the will or desire
of the masses of the people, but
solely through the efforts of the
corporations and the favored few,
who wish to continue their intimi-
datlon and coercion of the laboring
men and citizens in general.
The ''guard' system as in force
in this state is UNI American and
destructive to the government of
the commonwealth, us it tends to
create and foster political despot.

which results in the laws being

monarchies it may be necessary to

the monarchs, and arises from the

KNOCKING LABOR PAPERS.

Few people realize the ingrati
tude toward labor papers. Nor do
they realize the hardships that are
endured in keeping life in one of
them. You often hear union men
say there is nothing in them. No
wonder! The labor editor is not
a banker. and can't spend money
he hasn't got. The columns of the
labor paper are free to every union
man to contribute news to. They
prefer to roast the editor who is
busy spending his time trying to
get enough advertising to pay his
paper bills and the postage on the
union mans paper. If by chance
an advertisement should appear in
the labor paper which is unfair to
some union, the union proceeds to
withdraw its patronage(7) which
it sometimes has never given to
the paper except in the way of try
ing to induce some patron to cease
10y A-AS VIZ poPCA' az Cue same
time ninety-nine out of every
hundred union men take one or
more daily papers, which are fair
ly alive with ''unfair'' ads.
and they are never affected, not
even so much as to mention the
fact to the editor or stop the paper.
This, gentlmen, is ingratitude.
This is one lof the causes for nine
out OF every ten labor papers fail
ing. Again, when an organization
is i'll trouble to whom do they rush
to take up their fight? To the
labor editor, of course, and even
though their grievance is against
the advertiser and supporter Of
the labor paper, he must begin a
TRADE against his friend and sup
porter to make him deal fair with
the union. Finally the matter is
settled, and the union and the
merchant or manufacturer bury the
Ratchet and again become friends,
but, alas! where does the labor
editor come in! He has made the
fight against this man, and he
alone is held responsible, and the
consequences are this man quietly
and openly boycotts the editor,
and his friends do likewise, and
the union does likewise and the
union does not even so much as
thank the editor for fighting til cir
battles, let alone subscribe for his
paper. Gentlemen, these are the
trials that Il labor editor must
undergo, and then be prosecuted
because he does not conduct his
business according to the dictation
of some so-callcd union men.
BE fair, be just, and stand by your
paper, and make resolution that
you will henceforth be booster:
and not Il knocker, and your or.
ganization will thrive as well as
your labor paper.--The Picket.
