LABoRs, REAL GRIEVANCE.

Protection protects the trusts, the plu-
tocratie freebooters, the criminal corpor-
ations and the political powers, but it
gives the toiling masses of our country
no protection whatever. The worker must
depend upon his union 10 protect him, TO
increase his wages, to better his working
conditions and to secure remedial labor
Legislation. The protective tariff has
never benefited labor one iota, the higher
the tariff, the more profit for the big
trusts and corporations, higher prices for
the necessities of life for the workers and
not one cent increase in wages not secur-
ed by organized labor. Toilers of West
Virginia get together and stand by and
build up the union of your craft for your
mutual benefit and protection. Depend
not on the promises of the political free
hooters for assistance TO the masses; they
have but goal in view, to remain at
the public tit and carry out the Will of
the guard and peonage promoters in
their effort to sap the very life blood out
of wage earners of the state and keep
them in state of subsection.

WORKERS ONLY PROTECTION.

We have long entertained the idea that
industrial reformers are wasting too much
valuable time and energy upon the mis-
use of wealth by the beneficiaries of spe
cial privileges.
What earthly difference does it make
to the man despoiled of his property what
disposition is made of it by the thief if it
is forever lost to him, it's rightful owner?
That people are plundered is of far
greater Importance than how the plumber
is disposed Of when there can be no pos
sibc hope of ever recovering it.
One kind of a plunderer may give his
booty to churches, another to libraries,
and third may waist it in riotous liv
ing, but whatever disposition is made of
it, the rightful owner, the people, are
made to stand for the deprivation of their
property.
The main point is that all three get the
property or money without earning or de-
serving it, and at the cost and suffering
of others.

RULE OF THE MASTERS.

The MISSES of the people in West Eir
ginIa have for years maintained the plu-
tocratic political combine in control of
the state, both politically and industrally,
and with what result! The workers are
that outrivals that in any other civilized
country in the word-'' guard rule pro
NOTED and protected by the political pow
crs of the state and their hired bench
men who are elected TO Office through the
most corrupt election machinery known
to the ingenuity Of political crooks and
graftcrs. Under this system men who
have the courage to assert their American
manhood and demand their constitutional
rights are murdered, MANNED, driven from
the state and their families thrown into
the public highways by the hired tools of
the powers who rule the state with an
iron hand without let or hindrancc from
the men who have been elevated to Office
by the masses of the commonwealth to
perform their sworn duties for the pro
lection of its citizens and to revere, honor
and carry out the mandates of the con-
stitution of the state and the United
States.
The tradc-union movement has been
maintained by the true union men of the
state thus far against the combined eff
forts of its enemies aided and allotted by
the political kings and every benefit that
has accrued to labor in the state has been
secured through the efforts or organized
labor, and unless labor rallys around its
own standard and puts up a more ag-
gressivc campaign Of agitation, organiza-
ton and utilization it viii be wiped out

with united effort plant the flag of trade

sense that the word implies and man
who would have rendered his country
services equal to that of the great old
Abraham Lincoln, if he had not been
called to the great beyond. He a

Pierce County Man Pursued by Posse

BLACKSHEAR, Ga, March 23-Mrs. J..
w. Easterling, who lives about four miles
south of here, was murderously assault
ed by her son-in-law, Jeb. d. Hendry,
alias Phillips, Monday morning and her
death is momentarily expected. The trag-
edy is the result of alleged family diff
ferences, growing out of the refusal of
Hendry's wife, who is Mrs. Easterling' s
daughter, to live with him.
While Hendry was reared in this sec
ton, he has not lived here until recent
ly, for a number of years. Immediately
after his marriage with Mrs. Easterling' s
daughter, he carried his wife to st. Louis.
but she remained only a short while.
soon returning to live with her mother
After a time Hendry followed and since
his arrival, it is said, has made himself
more or less troublesome to Easterling
family. Just how the difficulty began is
not quite clear, but it is presumed that
Hendry made a demand that Mrs. East
erling surrender her daughter to him,
and upon her refusal she was stabbed
in the breast, deeply cut across the alb
tsomen and her arm almost severed from
her body. She had lost so much blood
before a physician could reach her, that
there is little hope for her life.
Hendry made his escape to the river
swamp. but a large posse is in pursuit
with dogs and it is hoped he will be cap
tured.
Mrs. Easterling is highly regarded and
there is great Indignation among her
neighbors.
Later Hendry was seen about four miles
from where the trouble occurred about
four hours later, and it is expected will
be captured as the community is much
excited, and if caught lyching is feared.
