has gone through a stiff season with
credit to every member. Duke at
shortstop and William Harvey at Sec
ond base have, with Paul Thompson,
the catcher. developed the throw to
second, until the stealing of that base
is perilous undertaking to visitors.
Coots at first plays his position
steadily and with the head of q vet
eran, although he is still little more
than a youngster.
Pierce at third is not only fast in
his position but a good performer with
the stick.
The outfield, Lowe, Pope and Price,
are all good stickers and hope to figure
in the score today.

You can pirate of your summer romances
OF the glens, of the groves and the sea;
OF the silly small talk that enhances
The pleasures of five o'clock tea.
You can boast of your horses and carriage,

Although very likely your marriage
VIII prove but a monetary fuke.
Forsake these society features,
Come with us Ger valley and hill;
Tear up all your silly love letters,
And motor with us with a will
There's nothing so healthful and jolly,
You will have both a ride and rest;
1t will drive away melancholy,
1t will give your digestion test.
Throw care to the winds 'Tis the fashion,
No pleasure in life so real;
IT'S the proper up to date fashion,
So purchase an automobile,

BATTLE IS ON.

The wage workers in many see
tions of West Virginia have been
ground down by the corporate in
terests to such an extent until
they are at the point where it is al
most impossible for them to exist.
and now the coal barons and their
tools are seeking to destroy the
trade union movement and wipe it
out OF existence in the State so that
they can force the American work
ing men down to the level with
that of the scum of European and
Aslastic countries and place them
in AFFECT poverty and slavery.
The battle of determination is now
on and every union man should
rally around the standard of free
dom and justice and 60 into the
fray with the determination to free
the wage slaves in this State and
compel the slave drivers and their
lnhuman ''guards' to respect the
laws OF GOO and man.
The time for action is now at
hand and the place for every
liberty loving worker is on the
firing line and to remain their un-
til the shame and disgrace of
"guard" rule and wage slavery is
wiped from our State. The same
conditions at one time prevailed
in Illinois, Indiana and other
States and would do so today if the
workers had not rose up in their
might and changed the order Of
things, regardless Of the pluto.
cratic monopolists and political
grafters. The same can be done in
West Virginia, and now is the
time to do it.

owing to labor union activity in
his district, was expressing his

guilty of some mistakes. and some
wrongs, and, undoubtedly has
been. union labor has brought a
benefit to the working classes of
this country UNNECESSARILY beyond
and above all detriment that it has
brought in its wake. Union labor
has established itself wherever
civilization has been established.
and in establishing itself, has rails
