tended 10 use the hall 10 awaken
favorable interest in the Free School
System!
The Socialists were not objectine
to the use of the building by the
knights, or to anyone else. In fact
when the question was directly put
to the committee by Mr.. Hawkins:
"Woule you be in favor of granting
the use of this hall to the Democrats
and the Republicans" he received an
emphatic affirmative answer: We are
in favor of the free and unrestricted
use of the public property in this city
by any of the city's citizens. who
make such public property possible
by the payment of taxes into the
common treaSury---resardless OF their
views and beliefs on any question,
We demand the right TO think and
speak for ourselves, and We freely
grant that right TO all others.
The Socialists are barred from the
use of the public buildings, not be-
cause of q dozen other excuses offer
ed BY the members OF the board, but
because these little bullet-headed.
! would-be capitalists don't like the
idea of working-clasS solidarity the
! socialists teach. They represent the
ideal business mems administration
| you hear so much about during cleo
tons They are members of that lg-
norant bourgeoisie, who fondly hug to
their hearts the hope that they will
eventually climb out of the middle
class, and into the prominent capl-
talist' class. They are class con-
scious. ever ready to frown upon any
thing and everything tending toward
education of the producers. whom they
are despoiling and hope to deSpoll TO
a still greater degree later on.
/ That the exclusion of the socialists
from Carnegie Hall is discrimination
! is shown by the fact that any otheG
ORGANIZATION can obtain It at their
pleasure. 1t has been used almost
continuously the past two years oy
several church organizations, while
they were building new edifceS; 1t is
used as rehersaBstase by the Hun
,inston Choral Association, and IS
omen to the West Virginia Coal Opera
rors' Association whenever they WISH
TO plan a campaign against oFsanlzed
lahor---or Socialism; and last and
least, it is freely granted to the anti
free school Catholic societies when
they wish to publicly attack an edu-
cational propaganda movement.

Huntington. the city OF conven-
tons" certainly~iS an indiscrimlnat-
ine hostess, and strange and wierd
are some of the gatherings held with
in her walls. A few weeks ago she
opened her gates to the eXplolterS OF
the West Virginia coal miners, that
they might plan Million Dollar
campaign against the working class
of this s1ate-ThiS week she is enter
tanning the Strone-arm squad OF
these same coal baronS---the Bald
win---Felts Mine Guards, and our cup
of hospitality runneth over.
The meeting held in the city this
week and labeled a Convention OF
Police Chiefs" was evidently engineer
ed and dominated by the Baldwin
Felts Defective Agency for the pur-
pose of bringing about closer frater-
nity between the real officers of the
law of the Tri-State territory, and
the gunmen and criminals of the
Agency. One of the most enthusias-
tic members of the new Police
Chiefs Organization" and who, by
the way, was elected vice-president
to assist President Sam Davis, is none
other than the chief of the odiouS
"Baldwins"---Tom Felts.

Mr. Jack Everett, of Guyandotte,
has Just returned from a great hunt
in Southern Kentucky. Its alleged
that this Nimrod not only slaughtered
game. but was great on the conquest
of feminine hearts. as he played the
Gallant to the bellies Of old Kentucky.
In killing game he brought back rab-
bits. squirrels, and birds, but 1t IS
said he also killed a bear. 1t seems
that he is not satisfied with what he
brought home this time and 1t IS
rumored that he is going back after
one of Kentucky'S rural bellies.

SERVILITY

About the most sIckening exhltion
of servility seen lately was the way
some fool jackass working men slob-
bered over Jessie Wilson, the daughter
of Woodrow.
AS a wedding gift ohe steel slaves
employed in the Wheeling, mills, sent
her a $25O000 remembrance. They
gave as their excuse that they had
once been employed by the bride
groom'S father"
Goodnight! When a working class
falls so low, when they have reached
such depth Of craven cowardlce and
servility as this, that they actually
proud of the fact that they have been
at some time employed" by the faith
er of parasite who wouldn't use
them for a spittoon, its about time
for those of us who have some sell re-
spect left to get off the planet. I'M
aeine these slaves of the steel mills
toiling all day long with scarcely
enough food to keep their bodies to-
gether, digging down in their jeans to
the tune of $2500.00 to buy bauEle
for a couple of Royal Do-Nothlngs,
while their own wives and daughters
are compelled to wear cheap shoddy,
and 60 hungry.
Truly it is ii sight to make a croco-
die weep. And these honeheads echo
the cry of their masters that Social
lists are free lovers" Maybe we are,
bul when we have any presents or
cash to hand out we'll see that OUR
OWN FAMILIES GET IT. We don't
love some other mans family so we'll
that we take from ours and give to
them. Socialist.

Cops and Baldwin Thugs
Hold LOVE Feast Here

The policing system of West Vlr-
ginia is rapidly coming under the
complete domination of the Baldwin
Agency, as is evidenced by the ap-
pointment as chiefs of police of Bald
win Guards in such cities as Charles
ton, Bluefeld, Logan. etc. That
close intimacy between the local po-
lice and the BaldwinS has long eX-
listed is we'll known in this city. This
was plainly shown last May. when a
meeting being held by the Hunting
ton Trades & Labor Assembly was
fired upon by Baldwin thugs and no
effort was made by the local police
to protect the citizens from these
outIaws---one of whom in his flight
from the scene of the shooting drop
ped satchel containing papers adj
dressed to T. L. FELTS.'
Governor Hatfield who was unable
to be present at the launching of the
new organization. sent his regrets
and his blessings. to which we add
our own: Here's TO the new combl-
nation composed of Mine Guards,
City Police and District Constables---
May they manufacture Socialists as
rapidly as the Baldwins did in Kama
wha county.

In two states, Michigan and Colo
ado. the miners and the mine owners
are engaged in desperate industrial
war. The cost of this war, in lost
wages and interrupted work, is hun
dreds of thousands of dollars every
week.
In Michigan the mines are all idle,
while thousands of men, women ana
children starve and freeze.
In Colorado the mines are IDLE,
while thousands of men. women and
children starve and freeze.
In both states the war is on because
of disputes over the right of The work
ers to organize, and to receive better
pay.
The right Of CAPITAL to organize
nobody disputes. Every corporation
is an organization of dollars, author
lied by the government.
II may be strange, but the more
labor trouble country has, the more
it learns. as rule.
Colorado has had much labor trouble
in years gone by, and as result of
this trouble and agitation new cry
is being heard in that state, and 1t IS
being voiced by merchants, farmers
and others who want coal, They are
saving: LET THE GOVERNMENT
OWN THE MINES!'

declared, had promised higher wages to
the worker; the wages may have fol-
lowed, but they bought no more than
formerly. Conditions ride into office on
a popular campaign cry, he continued,
but the real sense of the campaign
slogan is always lost in an array of gilt
tering generslities after the election is
over. The full dinner pail" brought the
workingman pail, but it wasn't full, he
said.
In sharp contrast to the melodious
campaign cries of the old-time parties,
Mr.. Higgins gave the slogan which
Socialists are ever lifting to the skies,
that every worker should get the full
social value of his work and would al
ways have plenty of work" Reiterating
the claims of other lecturers who have
appeared in the series, the speaker de-
clared for collective ownership of all the
mediums of production and distribution.
In this connection he called attention to
the profigate waste of public goods in
both of these mediums.
As an example of waste, he cited the
immense sums Of money expended in adj
vertising. Under Socialism advertising
would not be necessary and goods would
be sold on their own merits. The gov
eminent might in SINE cases issue cir

eulars describing different products, but
the work of the press agent would be
eliminated ON our great transportation
lines and elsewhere. A glaring and
shameful example Of waste, he continued,
by way of supplying a compliment to
bis argument, may be seen in the fruit
orchards, where tons and tons of or
anges, lemons. cherries or apples are al
lowed to decay because the market isn't
right He thought that Socialism could
work some mighty reform in this diree-
ton.
The beginning OF the Socialist era will
be witnessed when the dividing up" pro-
cess which is going on in this country is
stopped. Divisions of great wealth among
a few and the agencies for producing
that wealth is the basic evil of the pres
ent system, he declared. Mr.. Higgins
furnished statistics showing that every
worker in the country should get So 100
for his years labor. In reality his sal
airy is $500; the remaining 81 500 and
more goes to the capitalist. In closing
he pointed to the close approach of So
cialism and forecasted a not far distant
day when the era OF emancipation for the
worker would dawn. None too rapidly,
however, he cautioned, is the day COM
ing and as a parting word he urged his
audiences to consider well the price
which humanity is paying under the sys-
tenn as it exists now.
