To Open Fight For
Garment w orkers
One Thousand unionists VIII Go to
Chicago to Work Against Hart,
shaffner & Marx.

Cichago, Nov. 1S.- Settlement of
the strike of 10000 garment workers
does not appear to be in sight, though
many of the small bosses has signed.
The employers say that they will
not listen. to any proposition except
on an open shop basis.

United Garment Workers of America,
said today that, after the convention
of the American Federation of Labor,

1000 union workers will be brought
from st. Louis to Chicago to aid the
strikers. They intend to solicit funds,
speak at mass meetings and obtain
employment in other cities for men
Who are out of work.
The manufacturers are making des-
perate efforts to play on the poverty
Of the strikers, and letters are being
sent out by the strike bound concerns
informing the tsrikers that Monday
would be the last day when chance
would be AFFORDED them to go back to
work.
Letters of the same nature and
wording have been sent out every day
since the beginning. Of the strike.
Agents of the trike-bound concern
of Hart, Schaffner & Marx. who have
been visiting homes on the southwest
side, trying to induce girls to go back
to work or secure scabs, have told
several saloonkeepers that, if the strik-
ers stand out another two weeks they
would win.
Brutality such as even a Russian

TRADES ASSEMBLY GOES
after some LABOR LAWS
Want Guard System Abolished and
Fellow Servants Bill
Passed. w.
VI.
WILL MAKE HARD FIGHT
FOR LABOR LEGISLATION
State Federation and Local Unions Of
State Will Join in
Effort.

The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly is going after Labor legisla-
lion at the hands of the state law
makers at the coming session of the
West Virginia legislatue.r Definite
steps toward that end were taken at
the meeting Sunday afternoon when
the legislative committee was instruct
ed to take up the matter of remedial
legislation with the elected repersen-
tatives from this county.
The TWO Paramount Laws.
While the Assembly will go after
all laws calculated to improve the
working and living conditions of the
common people, the greatest efforts
will be put forth in behalf of two laws
which the Assembly believes Of para.
mount Importance; the abolition of
the private guard system and the en-
actment of a sensible fellow servants
measure. For these two, a strong
fight will be put up. and the man who
works against either measure, or even
lodges the issue, will have his name
handed about to the working people.
so that all can know his stand.
The Guard System
The guard system of West Virginia
is most iniquitous thing. It per
mits private individuals to employ
other private individuals to act as
guards to their property, to arm :5erl
and to create, practically, a police
force, or army, above and beyond the
law. AS Is quite natural, the kind of
men employed at such work are gener-
ally the very lowest in the scale OF
humanity, and the list of law abiding
citizens whom they have MANNED an
murdered is a lengthy one. The sya-
tenn is particularly in evidence in the
coal mine regions of West Virginia
where the workers are not organized.
The employees are kept like slaves n
their pens, and if they dare to se,
together to talk over lettering their
conditions they are set upon by these
human bloodhounds, even as the black
slaves were chased and beaten before
the civil war The same fate also is
handed to any individual who dares
ito take up the defense of these uu
fortunate serfs, and it has become
common in the scab coal mine regions
to find dead men, their bodies lying on
a railroad track, where they had been
accidentally" run over, or down in a
deep ravine,- where they had "acci-
dentally" fallen OF bridge.
The Fellow Servants Law.
The other important issue is the
fellow servants law. Labor wants a
law defining yellow servant" As
1T is now, II railroader is killed in
following out the orders Of his super
intendent, the accommodating courts
hold that he is not entitled to COM
pensation from the corporation, be-
cause, forsooth. the order was MT
given by the corporation, but by tho
superintendent. q fellow servant" Of
the injured man, who may be q track
walker. The absurdity Of this con
struction has never phased the courts,
who 90 sublimely on day after day,
handing down decisions in favor u
1.-The corporations. And Labor wants q
llaw put on the statute books STATING
Just exactly what fellow servant Is.

Whether one believes in the occult
or not, he frequently hears or reads
tales of premonition Of disaster by
a person closely related by ties Of
blood or friendship to those in the
catastrophe. A gentleman was out
driving one evening with his two
young children. The horse became
frightened at train and in the ex-
citement the younger child was
thrown out of the buggy, narrowly
escaping the plunging hoofs. The
mother, who had been at home all the
while, startled her husband by rela-
ting the incident and narrow escape
Immediately upon their return.
A travelling salesman recently wired
his firm for permission to return to
his home immediately distance of

fore he sent his request he saw him
self In dream giving medicine to
his child. His request was granted
and he took the first train home. His
child died day after his arrival and
the scene at the bedside and those
present were identical with the dream
that forewarned him Of the catastro-
phe.

WOMEN WIN
FIRST ROUND

Guthrie. June 3.-The women suffra-
gettes won the first round in the legal
contest Tuesday over the 60,O0O-name
petition got up by them initiating an
amendment TO the constitution TO let
women vote. Justice Williams affirm
ing the action of the secretary of state
in overruling the protests filed BY
State Senator Reuben NJ Roddie
against the sufficiency and legality Of
the initiatory petitions and constitu.
tional amendment Ii is now up to the
secretary of state to certify the ques-
tion to the governor for the latter to
submit the proposed constitutional
amendment to the people at a special
election before them or at the general
election in November An election is
thus practically assured by the courts
decision.
Justice Williams decision makes no
important precedents as the record
which came up displayed no afirma-
tive grounds for the allegation shat
the secretary of state acted erroneous
ly or abused his discretion. Since the
record does not show such the court
simply afiirms his findings
