THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF
 THE WORLD
Continued from last issue)

When the anarchist element succeeded III capturing the Industrial Workers of the World at the Convention of 1908 the minority, who were opposed to the action of the anarchists, immediately seeded and set up an organization of their own, dvocating political as we'll as in dustrial action. With the exposures of the Bummery By Trautnan and the investigations by tn 8 Massachusetts courts, the Chicago faction of the I. w. ". is fast going to pieces, one of the principal reasons for the working class quitting being that an awful large part of the funds passing through the hands of the organization for the purpose of helping strikers has very bad habit of sticking to the leaders fingers.
 TRAUTMAN APPLIES FOR MEM
 BERSHIP.
 Among the communications received by the Industrial Workers of Detroit con- vention was one from w. E. Traut1nan, former general secretary of the Chicago I. W. w., applying for membership Trautnan's exposure and resignation from the Chicago I. w W. has aroused considerable attention. Giving his reas- ons, Trautman said i'll part II can draw no other conclusion but that the organ ization known as the Industrial Workers of the World, with headquarters in De tro1t, represents tn e revolutionary in dustrial movement of America based on the basic principles as enunciated 1n the Industrial Union Manifesto of 1905, and is therefore entitled to the full support ! of the proletariat of this country in their educational, constructive and militia ant propaganda. For this reason ask you to transfer my card---a11 my connections with the organization known as the l. ". ". of Chicago having been renounc- ed today-and enroll me as a member in said Industrial Workers of the world with headquarters in Detroit, Mich,

THE TARIFF BILL

The Underwood-Simmons bill just assed by Congress and signed by Pris- lent Wilson October 5, will not remove le existing discontent. The trust will ot be scutt1ed. Prices will not drop to le extent that is expected and what yer drop ill prices there may be will ccrue. not to the benefit of the large lajority of the population, the proletar- t, 1t will accrue 70 the benefit the fiddle class only, As to the proletariat leir price in the labor market will be ound to decline, along with other prices.
 hough, perhaps, dampened for nom it, the flames of discontent will flare

According to Il government
report the value Of coal per ton
at the mines Is about 81. 30
This ~ the cost of bringing it
out of the mines, and the figures
include both soft and hard Goals

per ton for hard cual, uud the
general average price ON both

WAYS makes its figures reliable
and we know our cost figures to
the small consumer are reliable,
it is apparent that the cost OF
coal advances anywhere above
400 per cent from the time the
coal leaves the mine until it
