1t is to the personal interest of
every man, woman or child that the
Bakers win this strike. 1t is the duty
of every family to help them win it.
The way to help them win it is to see
that every loaf of bread which comes
to your home bears on it the union
label, which is a guarantee that it
was baked under sanitary conditions
by men who know their business.

The Angel Of The Mines.
By Nora GILLESPIE.

Seventy-three years ago there fled
from Ireland political refugee, with
a little girl Of eight, taking refuge in
the land of freedom. Thus the spirit
of rebellion and revolt is the heritage
of the most noted and talked-oi
woman in the U. S. today. Mother
Jones has stood for so many years as
the very incarnation of aggressive
and fighting labor, that it is very hard
to picture her as a school teacher,
and as busy wife and mother full
filling her domestic duty in the home.
Yet she was all of these. She had a
good education and taught school for
several years before she married a
worker, a staunch union man, and
she, soon began organizing other
workingmen's wives into an auxiliary
realizing even at that early stage the
value of organization for the workers
whether they be men or women. Four
children were born to her in rapid
succession, and the wives of working
men will understand what her life
was for six years, when the great
tragedy took place, which changed
her from the mother of four to the
mother of the working class.
An epidemic broke out in the town
where she lived and in the space OF
seven days she saw death take from
her one after another, her husband
and four children. 1t was overwhelm-
ing and the average woman would
have succumbed utterly. But not

to make profit for shirkers, and

Why West Virginia
Different.
BY Frank J. Hayes.
international Vice President of the
United Mine Workes.

by FRANK }. hayes,
international Vice President Of the
United Mine Workes.
The conditions in West Virginia are
different from those in other states.
The mining camps are situated in the
mountains.
The coal companies own practically
all of the land, the houses and the
stores in the mining territory, making
it necessary for the coal miners union
to feed, clothe and house the strikers
upon the beginning of any struggle.
This condition does not obtain in
the large industrial centers. Without
ticking this into account it is impossi-
BILE to properly comprehend the prob
lem presented by the West Virginia
situation.
These conditions have developed a
feudal state in the coal mining re-
gions that find no comparison except
in the Feudalism of the middle ages.
1t will take more than few weeks
or months to bring the West Virginia
coal mining situation to successful
termination for the workers.
1t is a long drawn out struggle that
will take time. energy and persever-
ance to bring to a successful conclu-
sion.
In fighting the situation in the
New River District the miners union
has adopted a plan of taking care OF
every miner who is discharged be-
cause OF his allegiance to and men,
bership in the coal miners union.
Every time a miner is discharged
because OF activity In behalf of the
miners organization we propose to
make an organizer out of him and to
keep him in the vicinity of the mine
rom which he is discharged.
Thus supported by the organization
he will continue to talk unionism to
his comrades in the mines. He will be
"a source of ENCOURAGEMENT to the
timid miner whb fears discharge and
discrimination. With the fear OF star
vation and eviction removed he will
be in a position to enlist in the fight
for the emancipation of his fellow
workers.
We understand a splendid spirit
for organization prevails among the
miners in the New River Field. ri
there is any great opposition to this
plan of organization we will likely !
call out every worker in this particu-
lar region. We feel, however, that sue
cess will soon crown our efforts and
that within the space of few months
the New River District will be one of
the best organized under our juris>
dfction.
We inteRi to pursue the same
course with all the other coal fields
in the state and feel satisfied that
With the continued agitation and pub
hcity splendid results will be achieved. |
The Kern resolution introduced in
to the United States senate has made
a nationwide issue of this struggle
for human rights and it goes without
saying that there will never be indus
trial peace in West Virginia until the |
miners right to organize and to fully |
enjoy his constitutional rights is |
firmly established.
Every worker in the nation should |
be directly interested in this struaale |
because Of the fundamental working
class principles involved.
These are now endangered unless
the proletariat Of tht land awakens
to the deep significance of the situa-
ton. We call upon the workers every
where to lend US their hearty sup
