A CAMPAIGN OF ISLANDER.

A campaign of Islander has been
lnauguratcd against Ben Davis
and the other officials of the miners
organization in West Virginia by
the foes of the organization. And
story is being circulated that
they sold out in the Paint Greek
settlement. The originator of
this false and malicious lie, like
the cowardly cur that he is. has
not the manhood to come out in
the open and make his charges,
but resorts to lnundoes and insinu
atlons to carry on his sneaking and
nefarious scheme.
Every official act of the officers
is public property and they have
nothing to hide and will meet any
man or set Of men at any time and
place and defend themselves and
prove this story to be malicious
and slanderous lie of the first
water. If these creaturers who
are circulating these lies have a
spark of manhood or courage left
IN their carcaSses let them meet
the officers face to face.
The opposition to the organiza-
tlon III the present controversy
must be in sore straits when thew
VIII resort to such low and degraded
methods Of warfare against the
United Mine Workers organi-
zation and it shows that thew will
stoop to anything to gain their
ends.

STRIKES PURIFY LABOR.

Not only have the wages of the
worklngmen been raised by the
strikers in this country, but the
whole moral tone of the labor
element has been appreciably ele-
waited, said John Mitchell in an
address to the members of the
League for Political Education in
New. York The subject of his
talk was The Moral Uplift of the
Strike.''
There is no phase so much dis
cussed and so little understood, -
he said ''To understand the
moral influence of a strike it is
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1909-05-27
necessary to understand the ideals

necessary to understand the ideals
of the strikes.
1.-The American workmen wants
the things that make for his
physical, moral and mental ad-
vancement and in pursuit of these
ideals he is justified in adopting
such lawful means as will aid him
to achive these things.
"a strike attributed to an ap-
parently trivial cause is often
caused by a pentup feeling re-
sulting from months and months Of
continued aggression.
sit is often said that the walk
ing delegates calls strike for the
benefit of his own pocket. This is
not true, for every strike means a
loss to him. In fact, the remuner.
alton of the walking delegates is
like that Of the Chinese physician,
who is paid only while his pa
tlents are in good health.
''Roughly speaking, the average
work man has spent less than l per
cent. of his wages in strikes. In
other words, the workmen of the
United States have lost less time
in strikes than from the celebration
of the fourth of July.
"a strike cannot be won by
single action. 1t requires the
greatest endurance and patience.
The striker must refrain from any
hostility toward the men who have
been imported into his town to
take his place.
1.-The amount of violence in
strikes i. greatly overdrawn. 1t
is matter of record that there are
more people killed on the Fourth
of July than have been killed in
strikes in the United States since

b. PARTISAN REFORM.

Under the most corruDt hog
combine municipal administration
1t was common sight to see a
woman OIL doubtful reputation on
the streets at night, but it remain
ed for the Ri Partisan reformers to
render it practically impossible for
a respectable woman to venture on
some OF our principal streets after
dark except at the risk of being in
suited by the corp of hoodlums that
now lntest our public thorough
fares. Street walkers and tin horn
gamblers seem to have full SWAY
and are allowed to carry on their
nefarious traffic without moles-
tation, the main street car thor
oughtare to the Park reeks with
shame and degeneracy, the public
service corporations control and
dictate the destiny of the city and
we have no hesitancy in expressing
the opinion, based on well known
facts and plainly perceptible re-
suits, that the BIPARTISAN mon
strosity> that has been forced upon
us was conceived in iniquity, born
OF Doodle, INJURED in hypocricy
and unless there is a decisive
stand made to throw off this illegal
and unconstitutional boss made
charter soon, will find fruition in
municipal degradation that we dis
like to even contemplate.
"By their fruits We shall know
them," is a text with which the
promoters Of this infamous charter
should be familiar. Judging from
the rotten products of this partic.
ular bipartisan tree, there's moth
ing beneath the bark but a mass Of
corruption.
If this gang Of new tangled idea
experts ever had any intention of
remedying existing evils, it has
ANONYMOUSLY failed to substantiate
its claims in that direction, and
now that they are trying to in
veigle the people into a, scheme to
vote on the license question, the
public cannot be blamed for view
ing the move with suspicion.
The entire question in a nut
shell is, Charleston is suffering
from asevere attack of too much
ring rule and public service cor
poration bossism, the only redeem
ing feature Of which is that the
Council has it in its power to
pull the fangs Of the bosses.

UNION CARD AN HONOR.

No person need feel ashamed of
holding a paid-up card or a due
book. No class Of society or or.
ganization or philanthropist has
done as much for the common
people as the labor unions. Phil
anthropists build homes for the
worklngmen and women after they
have lett the homes Of their par
ents. Unions are making the
home freside fit for sons and
daughters to remain in the true
home-that of their paren ts-by
increasing wages so that the father
can support the family, and make
the home what it should be.
Philanthropists build libraries,
while unions shorten the hours of
labor to give the workingmcn time
time to read the books. Unions
shorten hours Of labor to place
more of the men to work who are
willing to work. Cities build hos
pitfalls and the unions take care Of
the family when the breadwinner
is in them.
Ii death should call one Of it's
members the union pays a death
benefit to keep the wolf from the
door, and to our knowledge not one
member of any union has ever
been buried in a pauper's grave.
