Died

Funeral services for Mrs. Mary
A. Klotz, who died at St. Francis
hospital Friday morning, will be
held at the Pro-Cathedral to-
morrow morning at 1000 o'clock.
Father O'Brien, a relative of
Mrs. Klotz, will come from jun
ction City to say the high mass
of requiem which will constitute
the funeral service.
Mrs. Klotz, whose home was
in Kingman, was brought to
Wichita in a dying condition
about a week ago. No hope was
entertained for her life, but it
was thought best to place her in
a hospital that her sufferings
might be relieved. She was suf-
fering from chronic gas tritis,
with which she had been afflict
ed for two years.
Mrs. Klotz was As years of age.
Her husband. Max Klotz, is the
owner of a pool hall at Kingman.
He formerly owned farm near
Kingman, but sold it and moved
to the city on account of his wife's
failing health.
Her husband, four sisters and
one brother, Mrs. c. +. Dague,
of Junction City, Mrs. T. O'Brien
of New Orleans, Louisiana, Mrs.
Nellie Allison, of New York, Miss
Harriet Caughlin of Colorado
and Joe Caughlin, formerly Of
Meade, survive Mrs. Klotz.-

The many friends of Mrs
Klotz will regret to learn of her
death. About a year ago Mr.
IKlotz moved from Meade Il

Workers in American His
tory" a book written by
James O'Neal and published
by the Ripsaw Company, St.
Louis, Mo. We were all of
us taught in school that the
American Revolution was
caused by George III being
a very bad man, and that it
was successful by reason Of
George Washington being a
very great and good man;
that slavery existed because
Jefferson Davis was bad
enough to have justified his
being hanged to.a sour apple
tree, and that it was abolish
ed because Abraham Lin
coin was inspired. The or
binary history book gives us
often extended interpreta-
lions of causes that never
operated, and careful and de-
tailed accounts of things that
never happened. Mr.. Oneal
shows us, for instance, that
slavery was not confined to
negroes on this continent,
and that the working class
was oppressed in the "good
old days" just as today. The
book is q SCATTERING of old

That if its methods were wrong it
would soon die out, but if its teach

how the workers stcuk together. How
after the company found they were
losing money, drove the strike pickets
from place to place with the city
police force, and dubbed many of the
workers into submission. That the
police force was under the control of
the capitalist las, and that the
same party that controlled them used
them, to their advantage. That or
ders for garments were then sent %
the other cities. It was found that
the workers in Milwaukee were max
ing goods and shipping them to- the
scene of the strike unknown to them,
but they soon found out, and called
a strike in Milwaukee. Police protec-
ton was called for there also by the
manufacturers, but the working class
was in power, an the manufacturers
did not get the police to protect their
scabs, and the strike was settled, and
Milwaukee did not furnish Chicago
with any more goods while the strike
was on there.
He said that the reason that the
strikers were dubbed by the police
was that they had voted for it, and
the reason that the Milwaukee strik-
ers did not get dubbed was because.
they had voted not to. He said that

SOLIDARITY WON the

fight against the Openshop-
pers, unionizing the Audi
forum job and giving palpi-
tation of the heart to those
members of Big Business
who had counted upon using |
that job as one big step to-
ward destroying the resist
ing power Of Labor in this
community.
To no one man, nor to no
one union can the credit
come. Those each has done
his part; no one individual
or one organization could
have succeeded alone. When
all the unions combined with
the Carpenters, the fight
was won industrially, when
the workers jammed the
council chambers the fight
was won politically. There
was but one last defense
against the workers. When
capital loses industrially and
politically, it fights judicial
", and for weeks, seeing the
hosts Of Labor grow strong
er and stronger in their soil
darity, the Big Business in
terests have been shrieking
about an appeal to the
courts. Big Business would
have been tickled had the
carpenter contractors refus-
ed to eoncede, so that the
fight could have been carried
into the courts, where a,
judge could doubtless have
been found willing to decide
against Labor, but the con-
tractors evidently got tired
Of losing money by pulling
from the fire the chestnuts
of other people. And so the
end came.
/ But it is but the end Of
that one fight. Let no one be
sung to sleep now. Let not
the desire for harmony over
come the desire for full and
complete victory. The Paint
ers have yet their battle to
win, and we must turn to
and help them win it. The
Clerks are making a heroic
battle to improve their mis-
cradle condition, and we
must help them. There are
thousands of wage workers
in the Wheeling district who
are disorganized and de-
fenseless, and we must turn
in and help them.
The strength Of a chain is
it's weakest link. No union
can be really strong as long
as another union is weak. No
industry can be well organic
ed as long as another indus
:. try is unorganized. No en-
ploye is safe as long asthere
are unemployed.
Let us grid up our loins
now and go on with our for
ward march.
