Progressive Union
Members.


Ben Davis, president of the West
Virginia Mine Workers will have
some tall explaining to do to the prog
ressive members of that organization.
He endorsed William E. Chiffon for
United States Senator, knowing that
this meant the endorsement of Clar-
ence w. Watson, the arch enemy of
organized Labor in general, and the
United Mine Workers in particular.
Davis's endorsement was promptly
heralded forth in Chilton's paper, the
Charleston "Gadette,''' and undoubtedly
did much to Offset the contention OF
the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly, and the West Virginia
Federation of Labor that Watson was
not a fit subject for the senatorship
Undoubtedly Davis's action will be
discussed in the forthcoming conven-
ton of the West Virginia Federation
Of Labor
Following is the article as it appear
ed in the Charleston "Gadette":

the toiling masses throughout this
commonwealth, and the true senti-
ment of union Labor, when I say that
Mr.. Chiffon is in every way deserv-
ing of this high honor to which be-
lieve he is soon to be elected.
