CALL OF DUTY

Organized labor of West Virginia has
many duties to perform during this year.
The most important of which is the Sc
curing of remedial labor legislation at
the next session of the legislature and it
behooves every union man within the con-
fines of the state to do his full share to-
ward securing that result.
Three measures were introduced at the
last session of the legislature by the West
Virginia State Federation of Labor, and
while success did not crown its efforts
it in no wise discouraged or dampened
its ardor in the fight for the just rights
of the toiling masses and the battle will
be carrier on with renewed vigor until
success is accomplished; and to make its
fight more powerful and effective the
Every union in the state should become
a part of the State body and do its duty
to its membership and the trade union
movement. Now is the time to prepare
for the coming battle with the coal bar
ons and trust magnates. Solidify labor Is

united opposition from our enemies with
united action on our part.
Eternal yigilence is the price of lib.
erty,' is as true now as it was when
first spoken, and unless we take it to
our hearts and remember it at all times
all the work of organization that we have
secured with great sacrifice in the past
will be as naught. If we ever expect to
secure industrial freedom and liberty in
the Little Mountain State and free it
from the damnable "guard' and other
vicious sysems we must unite and stay on
the firing line with the same determine.

battle for freedom against the British
tyrants.
The passage of the employers liability
bill will put an effectual check upon the
murder and mutilation of the wealth pro
ducers and will bring happiness into the
homes over which now ever hangs the
fear Of death and desolation

this state during strikes and lockouts of
poor and ignorant foreigners and others

forcing honest citizens and tax payers
and their families into the highways with

Some of the newspaper space writers
of the state are busy landing one Ste
phen Benton Elkins for his deep interest
in the welfare of the people by urging
the high price food investigation. This
is one of Steve's usual stunts that he
pulls off just prior to election times If
he is so deeply interested in the welfare
of the dear people why does he maintain
guard system over his vast indus
trial holdings in West Virginia for the
avowed purpose of denying the wage
earners the right of assemblage and or
organizing for their projections Why
doesn' t he give his employees living
wage instead of grinding them down to
a mere existencef Neither his hypocrit-
ical vaporiugs at Washington nor his
loading newspaper allies will fool the
people much longer. They are beginning
to do their own thinking.
