A Central Union of Transport
Workers In Belgium

A conference of the Representatives
of the dock workers, transport work
ers and seamen, took place in Brus-
sells at Whitsuntide. Representatives
Of the trade union national centres
were also present. The object of the
conference was to make preparations
for the amalgamation Of the afore-
mentioned unions to the Central
Union of Transport Workers. An ANAL
gamation scheme has been agreed
upon and list OF general regulations
drawn up, providing for three classes
of contributions: sgd, Sd, and 21ad
per week. OF these amounts, i'd, Sd
and I'd shall be credited to the cen
trail fund, which shall be responsible
for the granting OF sick, pay, legal
protection. death benefit, ~strike pay,
unemployment pay, etc. 1t is hoped
that the central union will be able to
commence operations on the first of
July with q membership of some
$500. among which are to be found
workers of the most widely different
branches of the transport trades, by
water and by land.

ganized and disorgahized locals re-
established.
This work has been more definitely
planned and a program for the future
arranged with the arrival in the state
of George H. Goebel, of New Jersey,
executive committeeman of the Social
ist party.
What GoebeI Says.
Circumstances have put the mine
owners and miners at each others
throats." says Goebel. tsThe capital
ist wants more profit and the miner
wants more wages.
''The capitalist cannot increase his
profits without decreasing wages, and
the worker cannot get better wages
without cutting the profits of the
capitalist The present struggle is
teaching the miners that the only solu-
ton of the present trouble is change
of system
Parsons Touring.
G.. F. Parsons. of Hansford one of
the miners who went to prison during
the struggle and was only recently re-
leased, has been secured by the ma
tional organizatio INTO tour the trouble
zone, address meetings and organize
locals. The Kanawha County Social
ist party will hold a reorganization
meeting on July - when more defin-
tie plans for carrying on the sixteen
months campaign for the capture of
this congressional district in the fall
of 1914 will be- made.
Blinded Plutocracy.
If blinded plutocracy ever carried
on more consistent campaign to
bring about it's own downfall than is
the case at the present time in West
Virginia, that instance has not yet
been heard of. The United Mine Work
ers and the Socialist Party are daily
getting into better position to take
advantage of this blindness. It can
not result otherwise than the complete
winning of the entire state for the
working class in the very near future.

first real thing ne has encountered
within the memory of some of the old
est residents of Clarksburg. He has
existed for years on the reputation OF
being bad man, of having several
notches on his gun, of having a pri-
vate grave yard all his own, and all
that sort of thing.
Pretty cordially hated, yet, some
how, he bluffed his way through, and
managed to feather his nest from the
compensation his bloodthirstiness
drew down for him from the Consoli-
dated.
So when he met John Brown, the
Socialist and United Mine Workers
fighter, he proceeded to earn his wages
according to his own idea by calling
him all the vile epithets he could dig
from the deepest recesses Of his dis
eased mind. Brown was sitting in
front of the Capitol hotel, carefully
minding his own business, but the
fact that he was in Clarksburg was
enough for this beastly tool OF
beastly corporation, and he deliber-
ately provoked Brown with the inten-
ton, it is believed, Of inducing him
to attempt blow when another tool
was to strike Brown down from be-
hind with a black jack.
But as Shuttleworth, the town bully
drew back for the first blow at Brown,
the latter unlimbered all of his six
feet three and three quarter inches,
and for about one minute took care of
himself in a way that left Shuttle
worths fired from the adjoining build
gun. When he was able to crawl, he
dragged himself away to the dark
ness where he belonged.
Second Assault.
Brown, going across the bridge to-
ward the Golf building, was stopped
by Frank Shuttleworth, who threaten
ed to kill him. At this juncture an
other thug, Jack Fleming, grabbed
one of Browns hands, and immediate
ly Shuttleworth grabbed the other.
Brown wrenched himself loose, and
then neither dared attack him, and
he went on his way to the Golf build
ing.
It is charged that the Shuttle
worths followed through the adjoin-
ing with the intention of killing him.

Three EX-Presidents Who died on
Fourth of July.

One of the strangest condolences
of American history was the death
of two ex-presidents, John Adams
and Thomas Jefferson, on the same
day, July 4, 1926.
Adams and Jefferson were politi-
cal enemies. When Jefferson was in
augurated his predecessor did not
even wait to receive him. In 1926
Mr.. Adams feeling his growing in
tirmities, hoped that he might live to
see the fiftieth anniversary of the
nation. The hope was realized, and
it seemed as though, being thus
gratified, the great intellect of the
Revolution cared not to live through
out the day. He expired before noon,
almost his last words being: And
Thomas Jefferson still survives.
Jefferson did survive, but only for
a few hours. He, too, had been
DESTROYS of living for the semi-centen-
NAL anniversary of the nation. But
he was so i'll and fragile that it was
not expected that he would hold so
long. The morning of the Fourth of
July, 1926, came at last, however,
and with satisfied look upon his
face the author of the Declaration
soon passed away.
Neither Adams nor Jefferson knew
of the death Of the other on the same
day, for communication was slow
then.
Five years after the death of
Adams and Jefferson another ex-
president, James Monroe, passed
away on the Fourth of July. He
was resident of New York, and,
like jefferson, was almost in abject
poverty at the time of his death. He
had been living the life of recluse
Inundated both by financial embar-
rassment and the misfortunes of his
family He. died on the Fourth of
July, 1881.

but SO it has come about, and here
! stand. Whom do command? The
ghostly hosts who fought upon these
battletields long ago and are gone?
These gallant gentlemen stricken in
years whose fighting days are over,
their glory won? What are the or
ders for them, and who rallies them?
I have in mind another host, whom
these have set free of civil strife in
order that they might work out in
days of peace and settled order the
life of a great nation. That host is
the people themselves, the great and
the small, without class or difference
of kind or race or origin; and undi-
vided in interest, if we have but the
vision to guide and direct them and
order their lives Alright in what we
do. Our constitutions are their ar
ticles of enlistment. The orders of
the day are the laws upon our stat
ute books. What we strive for is
their freedom, their right to lift
themselves from day to day and be-
hold the things they have hoped for,
and so make way for still better days
for those whom they love who are to
come after them. The recruits are
the little children crowding in. The
quartermaster' stores are in the
mines and forests and fields, in the
shops and factories. Every day
something must be done to push the
campaign forward, and it must be
done by plan and with an eye to some
great destiny.
Prosperity Outlasts War.
"How shall we hold such thoughts
in our hearts and not be moved?
would not have you live even today
wholly in the past, but would wish
to stand with you in the light that
streams upon us now out of that
great day gone by. Here is the ma
ton God has builded by our hands.
What shall we do with it? Who
stands ready to act again and always
in the spirit of this day of reunion
and hope ana patriotic fervor? The
day of our country's life has but
broadened into morning. Do not
put uniforms by. Put the harness of
the present on. Lift your eyes to the
great tracts of life yet to be con-
quered in the interest of righteous
peace, of that prosperity which lies
in peoples hearts and outlasts all
wars and errors of men. Come, let
us be comrades and soldiers yet to
serve our fellow men in quiet coun-
sci, where the blare of trumpets is
neither heard nor needed and where
the things are done which make
blessed the nations of the world in
peace and righteousness and love. y

What Does 1t Cost?

A Chicago newspaper has figured
out that it costs the man who buys
a $1,000 automobile approximately
the same amount to run it the first
year. No doubt it includes deprecia-
ton in this estimate. The cost per
mile it puts at 10 cents as the low
est and 20 cents as ordinarily the
high figure. *. ~
Now these figures are wrong.
Thousands of auto owners will say
SO. They are right. A considerable
number of auto owners will agree
with them. What does it cost to
have an automobile and use it?
One man reasonably careful, will
assert that $50 a month is necessary
to the upkeep of an auto. Another,
ordinarily careful man will say that
he hasn't averaged over SIS a
month, everything included, for
three years ownership and use of
his machine. Another, physician
in a large practice asserts, that his
monthly automobile upkeep is not
more than $40 exclusive of the first
cost and depreciation. Another man
who owned and operated machine
and has disposed of it says every
mile he ran cost him 20 cents. And
there you are again. What does it
cost to own an automobile?
Whatever it costs we must have
them. The auto has gone beyond
the plaything stage. It has passed
the luxury mark. 1t is become just
plain necessity to those who can
make use of it in business. A few
years ago we were wont to hurry
to the windows to see one pass. Now
we wonder whether one is going to
bump into ours at the next street
crossing.
But why doesn't some actuary
compile fairly representative figures
on what it costs to own and run a
t$1.OOO automobile? What does yours
cost you?
