ALCOHOL WORLDS

Representative Richmond P. Hobson,
the hero of the <'Merrimac'' in the
Spanish War, addressed a, big audi
ence, under the auspices of the Y. M.
C. A, the the Plaza Theatre yester-
day. His subject was Patriotism and
Character Building, and the topic
was handled in the nnasterfl fashion
that has gained the Southerner a rep
utation for eloquence at the National

the worlds biggest enemy is alcohol

length.

BUILDING a Poem,

"&ny man on earth can be poet IL
he tries" said a speaker at a bankers
banquet, land there never was a bet
ter evidence than when the provost
Of Dundee died. It seems that the
provost had been fine man. His four
deputies mourned him greatly, and
after the funeral they all got together
and decided that they should write him
an epi4aph.
"1t was hard matter to decide just
how four men could write an epftaph,
but fs was finally settled by the agree
ment that the inscription should be a
verse Of four lines, each man to write
a line. And SO they started The first
man wrote his line. The second man
scratched his head and then added his
line to the first. The third man thought
long, but finally got his inspiration and
put down his line. Then the fourth,
after much deliberatton, made the final
rfme, and the epitaph ran something
like this:
EHsre Hes the provost OF Dundee,
Here hes him, here lies he,

Girl STRIKERS Are
STANDING FIRM
Determined to Win Living Wages FrsE7
One Of HuntiHgton's ''Promineat
Industries.

Despite the fact that some Of the
Girls of the West End are scabbing
On their sisters who are striking at
the HUNTINGTON Glass Plant, in an eff
fort to secure a little more OF what
they produce, the strikers are stand
ing firm in their demands and are
confident of ultimate victory.
For years these girls have stood on
their feet ten hours a day doing the
hardest kind Of work, for wages that
range from SC to 10c per hour.
Driven to it by the steadily increas-
ing cost of living, these wage slaves
have asked that they be granted S1.25
per day of 10 hourS-S7.50 per week,
surely not an eXtravagant demand.
The girl who is compelled to exist
upon even $3.50 week faces a ter
rible proposition-then what of some
of these girls who receive only $3.50
per week!
Without prompting from any out
side influence these girls organized
the present proteSt-forced to it by
grim necessity. The Huntington
Trades & Labor Assembly has agreed
to cooperate with the strikers, and
the entire Socialist and labor move
ment in this vicinity should follow
suit.
A meeting for Saturday afternoon
has been arranged between the girls
and Superintendent Zihlman, of the
glass plant. G. w. Gillespie, Socialist
organizer, and W. J. Murphy, secTe-
tary of the Trades Assembly, will
meet with them. In the meantime
an effort is being made to have the
Girls affiliate with the |. w. W, which
makes a speciality of organizing what
is termed unskilled workers.

FIVE Of the women strikers from the
Huntington Class Plant stormed the
Assembly and pleaded for assistance
in their struggle. A committee OF
FIVE was appointed to render all the

All delegates present expressed
their anger with the city commission
ers for their dishonorable conduct to-
ward the Assembly regarding the
proposed street railway franchise. At
a recent joint meeting three OF the
commissioners promised that they
would insert in the then pending
franchise clause guaranteeing the
employees of the road the right TO
organize. That promise was deliber-
ately broken and ignored.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows;

Fine Street Meeting

George H. Goebel, Special Socialist
Organizer for West Virginia. held a
large and interested crowd of workers
until late hour on the cornC1 of
Third avenue and Ninth street, Mon
day night. His witty and startling
portrayal of industrial conditions in
America met with hearty reception
from the large audience.
He declared that any political par
ty that professed 10 represent all
classes was a fraud to begin with,
that a political party of course be-
longs to those who finance it, and as
the Socialist party is financed and
managed by the working class it OF
course represents only the working
class. In this it is the only political
party that is honest with the people.

Il Would Not Change A
Word Of That Report

Not Even tie Statement Relating to The
Trial Of Mother jones and
Others?
Editor Socialist 6 Labor Star:

Editor Socialist & Labor Star:
Your column and a half rejoiner to
my brief note in your issue of June
21, is not at all satisfactory. | want
no controversy. But | insist upon
fair play in a Socialist paper.
You say: If Comrade Debs insists
upon defending that report | will print
both his defense and my further
comment in a future issue"
In answer of which l have to say
that Comrade Debs insists upon
nothing of the kind. The report needs
no defense. and if you will publish it
side by side with your sweeping con-
demnation of it, your readers will
have no difficulty in determining who
made a mass of misstatements."
Do you think it fair, Mr.. Editor, to
sweepingingly condemn report with
out publishing a line Of it?
A thousand times l have had the
experience of capitalist paper de-
nouncing a speech | had made with
out allowing its readers 10 see word
of it. I was neither surprised nor
offended. expected nothing better
from capitalist papers. But | do ex-
pect different treatment from So
, cialist paper.
Your excuse for not publishing our
committees report and then taking
four columns of space to ridicule and
discredit it, is no excuse at all. You
know they only published parts of it
and ommitted precisely the parts our
own workingclass readers should see.
You owe it to your readers to pub
lish the committees report in full,
and you cannot refuse to do it with
out discrediting yourself and your
paper. If you had not so Sweepingly
condemned the report and given up
so much space to it, the case it would
be different.
The Socialist paper that condemns
this report while at the same time
suppressinG it, does itself no credit
and will gain nothing by it in the
long run.
Let the report be published and
read by the rank and file. Let your
readers see the report and judge for
themselves.
If you will publish the report side
with your four-column condemnation
of June 13, the unfairness and in
Justice of your article will be so ap-
parent that the report will not need
line Of defense.
The national committee commits
stoned us as a committee to do a
certain work and we did it, Our re-
port has been filed and nearly all the
Socialist papers have published it.
/ 1t is now before the national com
mittee and the rank and file of the
party. If it consists of a weak mass
of misstatements" and a sickening
eulogy Of Dictator Hatfield" then it

heart to beating with a new delight.
What he read in her eyes set the hus-
bands pulses to bounding. He opened
his arms in an appeal that was a COM

without hesitation. in a bliss that for
got every sorrow for that blessed mo-
ment, and cast herself on his breast.
