TACOMA WOMEN WIRE TO
MOTHER JONES.

Tacoma, Wash, April u, 1913.
The deplorable situation in Pratt,
w. Va, reached its climax of dirty
work when Notwithstanding the out
rage perpetrated upon the coal mine
strikers, they put Mother Jones into
solitary confinement under martial
law. This fact prompted the woman's
Karl Marx Study club to wire Mother
Jones the following:
ITO you, mother of all oppressed
ones, we, the toiling women of Ia
coma, Wash, whose hearts and souls
filled with sympathy are reaching out
to you, sending words of courage. Be
strong in that hard trial, may all the
power for justice be on your side!
Your courageous heart stood so many
knocks-they increased your strength
and your love for the workers. Five
hundred socialists of Tacoma wired
President Wilson, asking immediate
release. You will triumph. With
deep sympathy and cheerful hopes, we
are with you-all the toiling women
of Tacoma"

MILITARIsM IN FLOOD DISTRICT.
Socialist Denied Trial by Jury and
Sentenced to Jail After Farce
Called Trial.

Capitalist papers over the state have
been using the flood stories and sup
posed wonderful services Of the
militia in the flood districts to boost
the state military institutions. AL
most every capitalist paper in the
state of Ohio published editorials crit
izing the members of the state legisla-
ture who, on account of recent graft
exposures, have been talking about
cutting down the state appropriations
for the militia. The militia has so
often been of great service to the CAPT
talist as a strike-breaking institution,
that it was but natural that the capt.
talist papers should take advantage Of
the opportunity offered by the flood to
create sentiment favorable to militia.
The following story from Warren.
Ohio. indicates the arbitrary character
of the military rule in the flood dis

COLORADO COAL MINERS.

The long three years strike of the
miners in the northern coal field of
Colorado is going to be investigated
by the legislature, the house having
decided upon that course by almost
unanimous vote. The northern field
is controlled by Steel trust and Stand
ard oil interests, and these have re
sorted to every means known to man
or devil to break the strike and chase
the miners back to work, without sue
cess. The brutal conduct Of the CAPT
talists has created a strong sentiment
in favor of state ownership of the
mines, and some interesting data is
expected to be the outcome of the in
yestigations.

General Strike in
Belgium

The general strike now in progress
in Belgium is the outcome of long
continued struggle by our comrades In
that country for fair election laws.
During the last twenty years enor-
nous pressure has been exercised
upon the government to force it to
grant this political right Deprived of
other means of expressing their will,
the people have had to resort to the
general strike. Probably half a mil
lion workers are affected and every
thing is tied up in consequence. Sew
eral times the electoral law has been
altered, but the governing class fears
to grant universal and equal suffrage,
as the growing popularity of the So
cialists would then make probable
their early advent to power.
The socialists in Belgium already
control many important municipali-
ties, but while their electoral strength
places them in possession of the mu-
nicipal government, the centralized
powers prevent them from carrying
out their policies.
The electoral laws hitherto have all
been in the favor of the master class,
property and university standing en-
titling men to two and three votes
apiece. The workers who have no
chance of either property or univer-
sity qualifications are out to end all
this. 1t will be a gigantic contest, and
we hope our Belgian comrades will
teach the capitalists in all nations a
good lesson.

The following letter was unanimous

under the auspices of the socialist
party of Mt Vernon. We learn by
the meager news which get past the

that Mother Jones and others are held

fused trial by civil court. This is a
procedure which is undermining every
right guaranteed by the U. S, constitu-
ton, putting the people at the mercy
Of a military despotism more danger
Gus than an absolute monarchy. We
demand that you as commander-in-
chief of the army and navy and chief
of the U. S., take steps to
