SOCIALIST PICNIC
A BIG WINNER !!
Sting of the Lesh will
Arouse the Workers


During that famous series of debates
in Illinois between Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglass, in 1858, Mr.. Doug
las said: Il care not whether slavery in
the territories be voted up or voted
down; it makes not particle of difference
to me-" To which Mr.. Lincoln replied
with emotion: Il am sorry to perceive
that my friend Judge Douglass is so con-
stituted that he does not feel the lash
the least bit when it is laid upon an
others back"
The citizens of West Virginia who
take no interest in the welfare of the
wealth producers of the state are not
constituted along the best line of human
ity and citizenship.
The blackeSt blot on the name of
West Virginia is the inhuman treatment
of miners by the vicious guards" who
are maintained by the avaracious coal
kings in the non-union fields who are
amassing great fortunes by the sacrifice
of human lives.
Calloused indeed is the back that does
not sting in sympathy with those who
have SO long silently suffered the lashes
laid upon their backs by the harsh hands
of the masters of industry, lmpelled by
the inSatiate instincts of greed.

BIENNIAL
Convention of the Car.
penterS will be an Inn
portant One.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 7-Various
matters of importance are expected to
come up at the Sixteenth Biennial Con-
vention of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America, in
Des Moines. Ia. this month, and among
them is proposition to have the con-
ventions of the organization every four
years instead of every two years. An
other matter that is expected to come
up is in relation to the beneficiary feature
of the United Brotherhood, as it is point
ed out that in some States there has been
legislation that is unfavorable to this
feature of the organization if the feature
is classed as either of an insurance or
fraternal nature. ss
Another proposition is in relation to
the establishment of an old age pension,
something like the Printers Union. The
apprenticeship question will also be con-
sidered by the convention. At present
the laws outline the qualifications neces-
sary for an apprentice to become a jour
neyman carpenter or joiner, but do not
go into detail regard to an apprenticeship
system, the details being left to the va
rious district bodies.
In many districts their are excellent
systems of apprenticeship, but probably
the best of them all is in Chicago. In
that city the apprentice who is to become
a Journeyman carpenter or joiner is
taught not only to use the tools of his
trade, but also has a good opportunity
for book learning" while serving his
apprenticeship. Also, while receiving
this education from books, he receives
his regular salary as an apprentice from
his employer.

MINERS ARRESTED
I'm PENNSYLVANIA
Operators Make Last Desperate Effort to Break
Strike Through Court---First Blow Struck by
100000 Trust S1us1 Fund.

| ,Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 6-The last des-'
perate effort of the coal operators of the
Westmoreland County field field to break
the miners strike will be made in the
United States District Court here. Eighty
seven leaders in the strike in the West
moreland field have been arrested. Presi:
dent Francis Feehan, Vice President Van
Bittner and Secretary Treasurer Donovan
being taken into custody at the office of
the United Mine Workers in this city.
The charges to be lodged against the
officers of the union are two-fold, one
conspiracy in restraint of trade, second a
state charge is to be made in the state
courts on the ground of alleged spread
ing of "incendiary" publications On the
federal charge the bail for the 81 miners
is $1s2, 700.
No sooner than the arrests were made,
furnished by the three officials named
and bail will be furnished for the others
as fast as arrested.
The best attorneys in the country have
volunteered their services and the miners
will put up one of the greatest fights
ever made by the labor organization in
court.
There is menace to organized labor
all over the United States in the action
of the coal operators. The issue from
this case, if the local federal court up
holds the operators, will be to place be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States a clear-cut case presenting the
proposition as to whether or not the
mightiest union in America, the United
Mine Workers, is conspiracy in restraint
of trade and its members and officials
liable to fine and Imprisonment for MEM
bership in it.
The great industrial combines have
been spared any real pain from the lash
of the antitrust law, which is now being
invoked against labor unions to at least
deplete their treasures by costly legal
proceedings if the highest courts fail to
sustain the action brought against the
union.

Socialist picnic and speaking at Wini-
frede on Labor Day was one of the most
successful that ever took place in the
Kan awha Valley. Practically every
living soul af Winifrede and vicinity was
on the ground.
The committee prepared an abundance
of good things for all and everybody en-
joyed themselves, as nothing was left
undone to make them feel at home and
learn the true doctrine of Socialism.
In the afternoon addresses were made
by comrades that opened the eyes of
those of the audience who have in the
past only heard the politicians side of
the great question that is now agitating
the minds of toiling millions and seeds
were sown that will result in bringing
into the fold of Socialism all of those
sturdy men who delve in the bowels of
the earth and bring forth untold wealth
for the mere privilege of existing and
making the rich richer and the powers
more powerful. Miss Esther L. Edelman
of New York City, was the first speaker
and she held her audience spellbound as
she poured fourth that wisdom to the
workers which was learned from hard
earned experience in the sweat shop and
in the maelstrom of avrice and greed
in the largest city in our country. She
placed the plain unvarnished facts be-
fore her hearers in a clear and forceful
manner and drove many facts home
which will give much food for thought
in the future. She backed up her every
assertion by pzoof and. eft no room for

talist class, striking at it with an in
junction. Now. what is she cumulative

In effect they mean that manufactures
may combine as much as they please to
sell their manufactures, but workingmen
must not combine to sell their labor

We are still under the thrall of super

the needs of his class and who is de-

has solved the problem that we are now
facing by putting working men into
office. New Zealand also seems well
satisfied with workingmen occupying her
government positions. And in Australia
and New Zealand you no longer find in
functions hurled at the working class in
a fight for their rights.
We hear much talk these days of law
lessness-of lawless labor leaders and
lawless agitators- The fact is that there
is no labor leader, no agisator, so lawless
as the capitalist judge who presumes to
limit the rights of a portion of the popu-

CLOAK STRIKERS
WIN LONG FIGHT
Manufacturers and Union Officials Sign Agreement
on Union Shop Basis and $4,000 Strikers
Are Jubi1ant Over Great Victory.

New York, Sept. 6.-The general strike
of $500 cloak makers which was called
July z, is ended. 1t was won by the
striking cloak makers.
The successful termination of the strike
came last night when the leaders of the
strike and the executive committee of
the manufacturers association adopted
an agreement worked out by Meyer Lon
don, Julius Henry Cohen and Louis
Marshall.
The agreement was signed by the
strike leaders and the minute it was an
nounced that the strike was settled, with
the $4,000 cloak makers as the victors.
thousands of excited strikers began con-
graduating and kissing each other.
Men and women wept for Joy
At the headquarters of the manu-
facturers the announcement that the
union leaders signed the agreement was
likewise greeted with delight. Scores of
cloak bosses Immediately began tele-
phoning to their homes, and for the
space of quarter of an hour, the second
floor of the Hoffman House, where the
manufacturers have their headquarters.
resounded with congratulations. Several
of the manufacturers soon departed for
their shops ''to oil the machinery" as
they joyously announced.
The agreement adopted carries the
union shop clause and is decided ad-
vance over the agreement the manu-
facturers proposed for consideration of
the strikers week ago. which was then
unanimously rejected by them.

UNDERSTANDS
SUB KNOCKS
The Eight-Hour Law on
Government Con-
tract Work.
Shows Navy Department
How to Wai.k the
Workers.

Washington, D. c., Sept. THE eight
hour law in relation to the construction
of the submarine torpedo boats and tor
pedo-boat deStroyers, authorized by the
last session of Congress- has received a
knockout blow from the Department of
Justice through an opinion just delivered
to the Navy Department in which Acting
Attorney General William r. Harr con-
Guides with these words:
Il have therefore to advise you that
the provisions in regard to the 8-hour
law in the act of June a. 1910, does not
apply to the construction of the d sub
marine boats and the torpedo-boat de-
stroyers-"
In the bill calling for the construction
of the fleet colliers, to which was added
the construction of the submarines and
destroyers, there is a clause expressly
requiring said vessels to be built in ac.
cordance with the provisions of an act
entitled An act relating to the limitation
of the hours of daily service of laborers
and mechanics employed upon the public
works of the United States and of the
District of Columbia
On being shown the opinion of the
Acting Attorney General and speaking
from personal knowledge of the intent of
Congressman Fitzgerald, who fought for
the insertion of the S-hour clause
Arthur E. Holder, chairman of the legis-
lative committee of the American Fede-
ration of Labor,..has this to say:
Zone of the gravest evils existing in
our present administration of laws is the
inclination and audacity of departmental
secretaries, bureau chiefs and even
under-secretarieS to set aside statutory
law by technical mis- s-application and
sometimes, apparently, willful misinter-
probation.
Representation in Congress have al
ready complained of such encroachment
on the evident spirit and intent of laws
carefully drawn. freely discussed and de-
iberately voted upon, but none have
seemingly yet made their protest loud
enough or emphatic enough to make an
impression upon the semi-responsible ap-
pointees in the departments.
THE particular danger that this state
of things will invite, if persisted in, will
be a supreme contempt for the will of
the people. through their representatives
by subordinates in the depaptments.
The spirit and intent of Congress
must be honestly and clearly discerned
and administered and not set aside on
technical points at the whin of ap-
pointive officials, who may or may not be
influenced by some outside agency that
is eager to obtain either more power or
more profit

the greatest industries off, America.
From the moment the Brandeis' confer
ence broke up 1 kept up not only the
fight but the agitation and propaganda
in order to get the employers to take a
liberal view of the situation.
l particularly urge the strikers to ask
for justice, and to do justice to every
man with whom they will come in con-
tact. We have been giving blows and
taking blows The strike is particularly
valuable as an illustration of the great
international solidarity between the Jews
and Italians who have been so loyal to
each other throughout the struggle
STATEMENT OF COHEN, ATTORNEY
FOR BOSSES.
1 am glad that the protocol has been
agreed upon. 1t furnishes a great op-
portunity in this country and in this city
to build up strong working relation be-
tween the unions and the manufacturers
Nothing is ever accomplished by large
groups of men except by strong organi-
zation. Trade unions are not only
necessary , but must be guided and
strengthened. l have not been fighting
your unions. 1 have been fighting for
what believe was the rights guaranteed
by the laws of our country to my clients.
I want now to lend my help strength
ening your organization and securing for
it wise leadership. 1 shall urge my
clients to use every legitimate means to
that end, and 1 shall urge upon my
clients strongly that each present em-
ploye in their shops join the union.
The union needs at this time all the
loyal people in the industry, but you
must help by urging your people to be
peaceable and quiet in returning to their
work, and in meeting those who are not
now union men. The contest has, of
course, raised intense feeling on both
sides, which time alone will heal, but
with the aid of both sides am sure we
shall make progress and mark an era in
the industrial history of our city.

are on between the operators and miners

The union officials are insisting upon
the Peoria terms and the operators are
expected to yield. Several companies

the miner candidate for the State Senate.
He conveyed the principles, aims and OBJ
Jects of Socialism to the vast crowd in a
most able and intelligent manner and
covered the ground thoroughly. His
speech proved that the workers made no
mistake in nominating him for the

and proved many things that exist under
the present system that they can't ex-
PLAN away.
I. L. (Doc) Tincher, candidate for the
legislature was the last speaker of the
afternoon and all who know him know
that his speech was pointed and full of
facts. He chastised the old parties for
their betrayal of the wage .earners and
the people in general and challenged any
man in the audience to explain why he
bowed at the shrine of the capitaIistic
parties, but none replied. Doc is a union
engineer and knows the guard" system
well and will let the people of the state
hear from him in the coming session of

timber when they are around.
