GENERAL DEMANDS.

/. The immediate government relief for
the unemployed workers by building
schools, by reforesting of cut-over and
waste lands, by reclamation of arid tracts
and the building of canals, and by ex-
tending all other useful public works.
All persons employed on such works
shall be employed directly by the gov
ernment under an eight-hour work day
and at the prevailing union wages. The
government shall also loan money to
states and municipalities without in
terest for the purpose of carrying on
public works. 1t shall contribute to
the funds of labor organization for the
purpose of assisting their unemployed
members, and shall take such other
measures within its power as will lessen
the widespread misery of the workers
caused by the misrule of the capitalist
class
2. The collective ownership of rail-
roads, telegraphs, telephones, steamship
lines and all other means of social trans
portatlon and communication of all land
There can be no absolute title to land
All private titles, whether called fee
simple or otherwise, are ana must be

by the solidarity of organized labor and
the Socialist movement, revealed the ex-
lstence of a farreaching and UNI
scrupulous conspiracy by the ruling class
against the organizations of labor.
In their efforts to take the lives of
the leaders of the miners the con
splrators violated the state laws and the
federal constitution in a manner seldom
equaled even in country so completely
dominated by the profit seeking class as
is the United States
The congress of the United States has
shown its contempt for the interests of
labor as plainly and Enthusiastically as
have the other branches of government.
Ihe laws for which the labor organiza-
lions have continually petitioned have
TAILED to pass. Laws ostensibly enacted
for the benefit of labor have been dis
torted against labor.
The working class of the United States
cannot expect any remedy for its
wrongs from the dominant parties. So
long as a small number of individuals
are permitted to control the sources of
the nations wealth for their private
profit in competition with each other
and for the exploration of their fellow
men. industrial depressions are bound to
occur at certain intervals No currency
reforms or other legislative measure pro-
posed by capitalist reformers can avail
against these fatal results of utter
anarchy in production.
Individual competition leads ineyi-
tably to combinations and trusts. No

Comrades :!

The Executive Committee of the
Socialist Party of Kanawha has just
recently been organized and as we are
entering into campaign it is necessary
to have funds to enable US to get speak
ers and place our propaganda in the
hangs of the voters. The members of
the party must finance the campaign by
voluntary contribution and for that pur-
pose have had cards printed that will
send any local or comrade on request.
The organization is a very important
factor in our political life and I would ad-
wise that every Comrade make it point
to attend his local meetings regularly.
l will further request that the local
secretaries report promptly the last week
in each month to the Secretary Treasurer
OF the County Committee, sos Virginia
street, Charleston, w. Va.
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1910-09-08

amounts of government regulation, or of
publicity, of restrictive legislation,
will arrest the natural course of modern
industrial development.
While our courts, legislatures and cx-
ccutive offices remain in the hands of
the ruling classes and their agents, the
government will be used in the interests
of these classes as against the toilers.
Political parties are but the express
sion of economic class interests. The
Republican and Democratic and the So
called independence parties, and all
parties other than the Socialist party,
are financed, directed and controlled by
the representatives of different groups
of the ruling class.
In the maintenance of class govern
ment both the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties have been equally guilty.
The Republican party has had control
of the national government and has been
directly and actively responsible for these
wrongs. The Democratic party, while
saved from direct responsibility by its
political impotence, has shown itself
equally subservient to the aims of the
capitalist class whenever and wherever
it has been in power. The old chattel
slave owning aristrocracy of the South,
which was the backbone of the Demo-
cratic party, has been supplanted by a
child slave plutocracy. In the great
cities or our country the Democratic
party is allied with the criminal ele-
mcnt of the slums, as the Republican
party is allied with the predatory
criminals of the palace, in maintaining
the interest of the possessing class.
The various treform" movements and
parties which have sprung up within
recent years are but the clumsy express
sion OF widespread popular discomfort
lhey are not based on an intelligent I'M
derstanding of the historical development
OF civilization and of the economic and
political needs OF our time. They are
bound to perish as the numerous middle
class reform movements of the past have
pershed.

THE WORKING PROGRAM
of the National Party Adopted i'm
Nineteen Hundred and Eight.

The socialist party, in national conven-
tlon assembled, again declares itself as
the party of the working class, and ap-
peals for the support. of all workers
OF the United States and of all citizens
who sympathize with the great and lust
cause of labor.
we are at this moment in the midst of
one OF those industrial breakdowns that
periodically paralyze the life of the
nation The much-boasted era of our
national prosperity has been followed by
one of general misery Factories. mills
and mines are closed. Millions of men.
ready, willing and able to provide thf
nation with all the necessaries and COM
lorts OF life, are forced into idleness ana
starvation. Within recent times the
trusts and monopolies have attained ar
enormous and menacing DEVELOPMENT
Ihey have acquired the power to dictate
the terms upon which we shall be al
lowed to live. The trusts fix the price
OF our bread, meat and sugar, of our
coal, oil and clothing, of our raw
material and machinery, of all tho
necessities of life
The present desperate condition of the
workers has been made the opportunity
Tor renewed onslaught on organized
labor. The highest courts of the country
have within the last year rendered de-
cIsion after decision depriving the work
ers of rights which they had won bv
generations of struggle.

COAL BARONS HATE
PEACEABLE STRIKES
Mine Owners Call for
Troops to OVerawe
Men Refused

Denver. Sept. THE fifth month of
the peaceful strike in the northern coal
fields of Colorado has closed with re-
markable record-attested to by the
blotters in of the police and justice courts
showing general decrease of drunken
ness and crime as compared with pre-
vious periods throughout the mining
camps.
In the six camps $500 members of the
United Mine Workers of America are out
for an increase in pay and a shorter
work day. The operators announce that
they will never recognize the union and
have been importing gun men to Lafay-
cite, the headquarters of Frank Smith,
president of the district,
In Louisville, where a majority of the
merchants are favoring the side of the
strikers, all is as peaceful as a country
church yard, while in Lafayette, where
the business men have clamored for
troops and encouraged the importation of
armed thugs. there are signs of an i'm
pending clash with the company's Pink
tons.
Sheriff Caps, of Boulder, is being bit
terly assailed by the operators who assert
that he is "favoring the men,
Il am giving each side an even break"
quietly replies the sheriff with a Southern
accent and square chin
Rumors are plentiful that many opera
tors are on their last legs and would
sign up with the union if they dared
A large percentage of the union miners
are Italians, known for their hot blood
and quick action, but all nationa lities are
following out the program agreed to by
the union and the "peacefvl strike" will
remain peaceful unless the companys'
gun men succeed in their desires.
Governor Shafroth's refusal to send
troops to Lafayette to break the strike is
pointed out by Colorado union men as
proof that the past battles of labor in
this state have not been in vain.
