loosing money daily without even

will be more likely to submit the diff

Several hundred Miners and their
friends met at Trades Assembly hall
last Sunday afternoon, and after
listening to talks by A. V. Fisher, H.
J. Ninness, and M. s. Holt, Socialist
candidate for Congress from this dis
trict, expressed themselves as deter

ganize. The meeting was called to
order by Paul Kotchka, who related
his experiences in the coal mines OF
Southern West Virginia, when he wak
q boy, and urged the men to stand
shoulder to sohulder In their fight
against the mine owners. Every one
of the speakers emphasized the fact
that only through organization on the
industrial as well as political fields,
could the miners ever hope to free
themselves from the unbearable condi-
lions under which they now. labor.
DR.. Holt, in referring to the injunc-
ton granted to the coal company by
Federal Judge Dayton, took occasion
to point out the class character of the
courts hat are being used to keep the
workers in industrial slavery. Z

that they could depend on the support
Of organized labor In their present
trouble.

Sunday, October 81, has been set
aside as tuberculosis Day, and
churches all over the country will
have special services to help in>the
fight against this most dread disease.
Typos Fight It.
One OF the foremost fighters on
tuberculosis is the International Typo
graphical Union, who have for years
maintained a sanitorium, solarium and
tent colony at Colorado Springs, Colo,
in addition to their Printers Home
They have on various occasions help
ed with exhibits in conjunction with
the National Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. Their off,
cial journal devotes considerable
space to a discussion Of this malady,
besides the special literature that is
issued from time to time on the sub
ject. The Wheeling Local Union No.
70, has gone step farther, by build
ing sun porch for Al Hermann, one
of their members afflicted with tuber-
eulosis, and they are naturally taking
an active part in anything tending to
obliterate this modern scourge.
The Second Presbyterian church,

out a special program, arranged by
the Printers committee, this Sunday,

Declares For

vancouver, B. c., Oct. M Especially
-At the regular meeting Of Vancouver
Trades and Labor Council, held ON
August Is, the following resolution, in
troduced by the Painters Union dele
cation was, after thorough and in
structive discussion, unanimously
adopted:
"That this Council endorse the prin-.
ciple of Industrial Unionism, and that
our delegate to the American Fedora
ton of Labor be instructed to vote &C.
1cordingly. Copies of this resolution
to be mailed to all Central Labor
bodies in the Canada and the United
States, asking them to take similar ac-
ton, and report the result Of the; vote
to this Council"
We feel satisfied that the subject is
one worthy of the attention and con-
;ideration of every member of organ
ized labor on this content. That there
is need for closer federation in our
ranks there can be no question. The
introduction of modern machinery;
he elimination of skilled labor; the
present lack of craft unity; constantly
Increasing jurisdictional squabbles;
The justification of industry; the
gigantic and effective organization of
employers everywhere; these and
many other reasons that could be
enumerated, appeal to us as warrant
ng a discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of
Increasing the size and decreasing the
4umber of present-day unions-accept
sng all that is commendable to the In
..ustrial Union idea and adopting the
principle in the workings, and reorgan,
izing the workers with that end in
view.
IN the hope that the action of Van
couVer Trades and Labor Council will
provide food for the best considera-
ton, reflection and action of your
central labor body, and firm in the
conviction that in the unity of labor
of labor is the hope Of the world" we
