WHO IS LABoR's FRIEND?

Various articles have appeared
lately in the dailies in regard to the
strikes during the past year and the
amount in wages thus lost by labor
+ wish to deny that labor has lost
anything. | wish to show that thei1
seeming sympathy for labor has been
a sham and a pretence, and that in
stead of labor having lost anything.
that it has been the capitalists who
have lost, hence the home, because
it show the dailies to be the tools OF
capitalism, ignorantly or otherwise.
and that they are unworthy labor's
support.
Every one who knows anything
knows the lab9rers sell their labor
power to the captains of industries
It is all they have to sell, thus labor
power is a commodity to be bought
and sold in the anarket, and being a
commodity is subject to the law OF
supply and demand
. It is known, also that labor has
for long time been getting only. a
Subsistence wage-only enough to
liSe-and that not decently-an to
rear<more laborers to take their place
when they are worn out. The loss
due to the strikes, has therefore,
been a direct money los sto the capt.
talists to about three times the total
lass in wages, for labor gets only
one-fourth in wages Of the value OF
it's products.
The laborer has lived even during
the strikes-that is very few nave
actually starved-and while he may
not have had for the time being quite
a smany luxuries -bonbons, etc., YET
he has lived, and if credit has been
attended to him and some have lost
in rent. ETC., it has not been the
laborer. Some might say the extern
ton of credit at stores and in rent
has been a good thing for labor; 1t
has been much better for the capital
lists as it has thus kept labor to q
certain extent contented and saved
capitalism, otherwise labor might
have been driven to unite against
capitalism, and we all know when
this occurs the jig is up for the
fieecers. =
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1910-01-27

The only thing / deplore Is that
the loss Of grocery bills and rent
nave been falling on the small capt.
talists generally instead of falling on
the large capitalist.
The dailies with few exceptions
show where these small capitalists
are not in sympathy with labor and
will not help them in their fight
against the exploiters. The small
merchant and the man who has a
few houses to rent are not the cul-
prits. they buy and sell for profit,
or get small returns for their prop
erty. The real culprit is he who
pays in wages only one-fourth of
value produced. The difference is
what is known as surplus value and
is in reality the real bone of conten-
ton, and will be as long as people
work for wages. The interest of
capitalists and the laborer will re-
main as the interests of the lion and
the lamb, despite all the advice Of
fake labor leaders, as long as the la
oorers do not own their own jobs by
having collective ownership Of the
means of producing and distributing
wealth. But this would be Social
ism, and oh! horrors this would be
a calamity for the exploiters.

Both the sharp shod horses and the
dray wagon ran over the body Of the
old man, but altho he was somewhat
bruised up he escaped serious injury.
His clothing was cut by the sharp
calks on the shoes of the horses, bat
fortunately his body was not lacerated.
A couple Of days previous Albert
Arntz and Lewis Dobbe, also Of Slater,
had an exciting experience with run

rig. The team dragged Dobbe for a
distance, when one of the horses
slipped on, the ice and broke its leg,
so that it had to be Killed. They hitched

Free Remedy Cures 4
Lifelong constipati'

There may be people who are chron-
ically constipated who still doubt that
there is cure for them, but to con-
vince themselves that there is hope
they have only to write for a free
sample of remedy that is curing
hundreds of people every day who
had been constipated all their life
long. And this convincing proof
will cost no one cent.
The remedy that is doing wonderful
work in the cure OF constipation Is DR..
caldwells Syrup Pepsin. and anyone
can obtain a bottle for trial by sending
name and address to DR.. Caldwell.
Thousands of people have come to use
this remedy In troubles of the stomach.
liver and bowels by first obtaining n
free sample from DIR. Caldwell. 1t Is by
all odds the ideal laxative for the cure
of stubborn constipation. liver trouble,
sick headache and such complaints be-
cause it not only relieves the distress,
but 1t strengthens the stomach and
bowel muscles and coaxes them into
the habit of doing their work regularly
again, and that Is the ideal cure. In
this way 1t is permanent in Its results,
which cannot be said of cathartic tab

were burned to the skin, but aside from
a few burns, he is not hurt.
Two Men Injured.
Joe Lieb, the fireman, was working

was able to throw himself behind
piece of machinery and was not hurt
by the falling steel, the roof tumbling
in when the walls gave away. He is
cut about the head and hands and is
burned about the face.
Jack Nolan, a painter, who was at
work on a ladder, painting the iron
clad sides Of the generating room, was
blown from his ladder but fell free Of
the flying bricks. His helper, a boy,
who was at work on another ladder
was thrown onto pile Of debris. Both
are bruised but not seriously hurt
Plant Badly Damaged.
The plant is badly damaged. The
east wall of the engine room, brick
structure. was blown out entirely, the
roof caved in and the machinery is
buried under mass of steel and
pipes. The general ting room which is
housed in an iron clad building es-
capped more fortunately altho the force
of the explosion was greater in this part
than the other. The sides of the walls
gave way more easily releasing the
pressure of the forces from within.
