Workers as Legislators

The Wisconsin Federation of Labor
at its recent state convention, voted
$50 to each of the seven Socialist
members of the State Legislature,
claiming that with these representa-
tives on guard at the State Capital
it was unnecessary to employ lobby
lists to look after labOr'S cause, and
that the state federation had really
saved more money than was voted
to the Socialists. The members of
the Wisconsin Legislature receive
$500 for their services and must re-
main in session nearly six months.
This makes it hard for members OF
the workingclaSs to have TO depend
on their salaries for the support Of
their families. The state of Kansas
pays $50 10 members Of the leGiSla-
ture. At the same time the average
Sheriff gets from $4,000 to $4,000.
Great is the intelligence of the voter.

Socialist Discharged.

A contemplate form Of petty per
SrCution that has been Kissed out OF
almost every state in the union ex-
cepting West Virginia was revealed
in the circumstance surrounding the
discharge of Comrade Franklin, Presi-
dent of Huntington Trades Council
from the barber shop Of MIR. Davis
un Ninth street recently.
A few large minded, pious gentle
nen differed with Mr.. Franklin in
political matters and thought they
might convert him TO their way Of
thinking by influencing the owner of
the shop to drive Franklin into the
street without a job. Al the request
Of certain christian q gentlemen
MIR. Davis discharged Franklin, giving
as his reasons the fact that several Of
his patrons had complained to him Of
FrankIin's political ideas and had. in
effect. threatened to boycott his
shop. The principal objector was
Mr.. RoSensteel, leading light in the
big new white Methodist church now
building on Fifth Avenue. Huntington.
What personal satisfaction Mr.. Rosen
steel could get out of taking the
bread and butter from Comrade
Franklins family is beyond our COM
prehension. We will now be led in
prayer by Bro. Rosensteel.

West Virginia Justice.

4 recent case in Squire Rogers
court at Huntington. ". Va, forcibly
illustrates just why the workers are
coming more and more to fear and
hate the capitalist courts.
It appears that Mr. Kidwell. a
veteran stationary engineer, three
weeks ago went to the Wilson Cream
cry of Huntington and inquired for
work. Mr.. Wilson hired Mr.. kidwell
and agreed TO pay him $500 a day,
After working a week or ten days,
Mr.. Nidwell informed MI Wilson that
he had secured better job. and that
he wonld like Mr.. Wilson 10 get
another man as soon as possible,
Mr.. Wilson flew into a rage; told
Mr.. KidwelI that he would not pay
him for what he had done. and that
he would law MIN through the courts
and lick him every time he met him.
Mr.. kidwell worked one more day for
this courteous gentle man. took his
tools and went to his new position.
Being unable to secure his wages
from Wilson. he appealed 70 Justice
Rogers for aid,
Mr. Kidwell secured the services OF
an attorney and the case VAS thor
ouehly threshed out. It Was sh0~n
70 the court that Mr.. hidwell WAS a
competent engineer with regular
". Va. license, and it was further
proven that theirs was no agreement
between the parties for Mr.. hldwell
10 work any time on probation. That
is the workers side Of the controversy

West Virginia Dissraced.

The people of West Virginia are
different from the inhabitants OF other
states, and the disgrace brought upon
us by those who occupy places of
power is keenly felt among all decent
people.
The trouble with West Virginia is
that public opinion is stiied by the
most subservient press outside OF
Russia.
All the yellow dogs of West Vir-
ainia Journalism yelled and snapped
when Senatorial investigation was
ordered, and when the proof Of West
Virginia despotism was exposed to an
outraged country the best these fetch
and carrys of capitalism could do
was a cowardly attempt to besmirch
the character of honest, plain, out
spoken Senator MARITIME of New Jersey.
If the newspapers of West Virginia
had kept their subscribers informed
lis to the condition in the coal fields
of West Virginia this state would not
now stand disgraced before the world
The Baldwin guard, the midnight
assassin, the anarchistic coal baron
and all such stay away from a state
where there is an honest, unboueht
press.
