LOCAL MINING NEWS.

President Davis and international
Board Member Cairns have returned from
Wiliiamsport, KY, where they attended a
meeting on Monday. The men at that
place have been standing loyalty by the
policy promulgated by the international
Convention two years ago to resist wage
reductions. They have been out two
years against 10 cent reduction. AS a
result their families were in very needy
circumstances, but the District Officials
have arranged to give them assistance.
International Organizer Craigo has
spent several days at Boomer and adia-
cent towns during the past week and
says that much interest is being mani
tested among the foreign speaking miners
and expects quite an increase in mem
bership in that locality in the near future.

On Open Shop Policy of
the Opponents Of Or
ganized Labor.
Constitution is Juggled
by the Corporate Inter-
ests to Suit Their Plans
to Further Cypress the
Toilers.

IL IS impossible for the union man and
the non union man to work amicably in
one shop, because they differ on the fun
damental proposition of whether there
shall be a union or not. This question
marks the line of cleavage in churches,
in families and all society with which
labor is allied. Men holding different
views on this question cannot labor in
the same factory and be friendly.
l know of an instance which came out
during the coal miners strike. There
was religiousS meeting in church at
tended by many union men. .There is
an unfair man in the house, some one
said, and every union man left the room.
In every open shop the non-union man
is favored by the employer, because the
employer likes the non-union man. If
there are reductions to be made in the
are to be cut, the union man suffers, and
the non-union man very likely is secretly
paid the old rate. If there is an easy
job to be given out, the non union man
gets 1t.
SO the union man supports his organi-
zation, which costs money, and he pays
for the benefits which the non union man
derives in the improvement in conditions
and the shorter hours secured by the
union. The union man resents the idea
that his fellow employe who contributes
nothing should share in the advantages.
So there is strife between these two.
So believe in the closed shop because
it is only by the closed shop that the
workingman can maintain his rights and
secure the protection of his life
One of the chief arguments used in
support of the policy of an open shop
is that every man has an inalienable and
right to work. never
found that in the constitution. If a
man has constitutional right to work,
he ought to have a constitutional right to
a job A man has only right to work
II he can get a job, and he has also q
right not to work.
Many capitalists declare they believe
in labor unions, but their political econ
omy leads them to denounce anything and
everything the unions do. 1t is the theory
of those who receive their political
economy from 26 Broadway and Harvard
ganizations, but every one of their meth
DDS is to be condemned.
We have listened often to the old rea-
soning that workingman is able to make
as good contract individually as a Ia
Dor union can. L don It believe the in
dividual switchman on a railroad who
was earning $65 month would get much
satisfaction if he protested against
cut in wages.
What chance has he to see the superin-
tndent and insist that ne cannot support
his family on a smaller wagef But if he
is member of an association which in
cludes thousands of men in every .ranch
of railroading, his grievance is sure to
reach the ear of the president,
Trade union enaeavor to secure a mono
poly of labor, they say. Wen, if 1 sup
pose they do. If they coulu create
they could starve the world.
But it seems to me the trade-union is
not the only body that tries to establish
a monopoly. Capital does it.
Capitalists do not like unions because
