The National Committee of the So

horrible mine disaster that has yer
occurred in the southwest The dis

McCurtain have been living from

Union Label LEAGUE

Z
The work Of the Union Label League
is making wonderful showing, mas
much as It is awakening a great in
terest in the demand for only prod
ucts bearing the Union Label or stamp
of the manufacturing crafts. Keep on
boosting, men and women, and in the
near future only label products will
be offered you. 1t has been suggested
that permanent organization be
formed of the League, for the purpose
of furthering the demand for union
products, and toN bring together and
keep in closer touch all union men
and women Of this Valley.
Do you realize the far-reaching pos
sibilities of such an organization? Is
it not the only way for the organiza-
lions of different crafts to further the
demand for Union products and to
bind us together in an endless chain
in which there must not be one weak
link? The emblem is blue triangle,
white background, with the words,
Union Label League, and we ask
that every union man and woman, and
| all those who believe in the teachings
Of unionism, and who are In sympathy
with the work Of organized labor, to
wear button. and thus show that
you are ready and willing to boost
and buy and help the other fellow.

Peace Terms

Indianapolis, Ind, April 1.-THE
compromise wage agreement reached
between the bituminous coal operators
and the United Mine Workers has
been approved by the miners by an
approximate vote of at least 100000
for to $4,000 against.
This estimate was based by the
tellers on the compilation Of returns
in the referendum vote today. The final
figures will not be known before to-
morrow.
The compromise provides for an in
crease of 5 cents a ton for mining
screened cola, 8 cents for mining I'M
screened coal, and 5.26 per cent for
day work.
Miner and operator in the bitumi-
nous coal industry of the United
States, will, therefore, be at peace
for the coming two years. The COM
promise wage agreement, negotiated
at Cleveland, has been approved in
a referendum vote of the soft coal
i workers of the United Mine Workers
of America.
Tabulation of the vote which com
menced at the headquarters today in
dicates that at least 100000 of the
approximate 25O,OOO miners voting
have received the agreement.
As the rest of the wage increases
are agreed on:
Five cents ton for mining screened
coal.
Three cents ton for mining un.
Escreened coal.
Five and twenty-six hundredths per
Lcent for all other mine work.

The Hub Store, Fourteenth and

ganized labor. The management per-
sists in it's unreasonable attitude in
antagonism to the Clerks Union, the
only method the clerks have by which
they hope to better their condition.
The Hub management has shown,
plainly enough to trades unionist,
that the store does not care for the
patronage of. non-union men, their
families and friends. Not one union
clerk is employed in the store.
Clerks Making Headway.
Great headway is being made by
the clerks. A number of new stores
have been signed up since the report
of last week. The stores signing up
agree to abide by the agreement with
the Clerks Union, display the union
store card. and thus show that they

Judge Frank W. Nesbitt handed
,.mr tho expected Injunction against
a.. NOR Moundsville coal miners at
h,o hebest Of ]. C. Mckinley, the
onerator, whose heartlessness Is be-
coming proverbial. The Injunction Is
designed to restrict the men in organ
,,rg the workers of the Mound City
Cool Co.'S mine, and keeping 1t idle
urtil some sort of protection is given
the men.
ca far however, it has been without
effect as the company has been un-
able to operate. The workers are
standing firm and give every indiear
finn of determination to fight to the
l.st ditto. for their lights as human
bengs-rights which ]. C. Mckinley
has denied them, and whose un-
humane course is now being assisted
by Judge Nesbitt's injunction.
Will Bring Action.
That the mine has b:en operated
right along in violation of of the state
laws. is the contention Of the men,.
They claim that they have been I'M
successful in inducing any official Of
the law to do his DUTY, and their
resuect and reverence for a law that
will not operate in their protection,
but Is ready to swoop down upon
them in an injunction when they are
forced to strike to enforce that very
law, is rapidly waning.
The Mems Story.
Here is what one of the miners said.
It is but an echo of what they all say:
"The mine is in such bad condition
that it should not have been allowed
to operate. Every man who went In
to that mine took his life in his hands.
But what could we do? We have to
work or starve, and all our efforts to
have our lives protected have been
Ruthless.
Take, for instance, the cage, or
elevator, in the main entrance. The
safety pin is out, and If the cable
would break there would be absolute
ly nothing to prevent dashing the
men to the bottom of the pit, 1870 feet
below. And the cable is in awful con,
ditien. 1t is so worn that you cannot
touch it without being jagged by the
torn ends of the wire. The engine that
pulls it is am antiquated affair that has
been doing duty there for 20 years,
and was secondedlhanded in the FIRST
place. Instead of being solidly fasten'
ed to brick or stone, or cement foun.
daioA, it is on timbers, one of which
was placed new recently, and the
other Of which is old and rotten. The
engine jumps about so that they have
1t braced by a two-by-four Scantline
resting on the frame and against the
telling. If two men are on the eleva
tor and a third steps on, the elevator
