Clarksburg, w. Va, Aug. S.-If a
stranger would arrive in Clarhsburg
and remain week he would scarce
ly learn that thousand workers in
an industrial plant are on strike. The
whole affair is silent as the tomb,
except around strike headquarters.
Here the strikers are active in plan
ming their campaign and keeping
their Phillips Sheet and Tin Plate
mill under surveylance.
Would Like to Start.
Nothing is being done to start opera
ton of the plant, but it is generally
understood, and from reliable source
that the company would give their
eyes, so to speak, to use this mill to
break the Steubenville strike and to
bring about restfulness at Wierton.
But there is only one condition un-
der which this plant here will ever
again make tin plate, and that is as
a union shop, the bosses to the con
trary Notwithstanding.
Reports to Fool.
The "tools' of the company-the
small-fry department heads-are cir
culating information to the effect that
this plant will neveragain operate, and
some of the workers are so plant as
to be deceived by such rubbish. Who
ever heard of sane people killing ''the
goose that laid the golden egg?" 1t
was the Clarksburg mill that MADE
the Phillips company, and that means
millions. And now we have a spec
tacle of these captains of industry"

The International Typographical I'm

in THE. DAYS OF SLAVERY.

One can find the days OF slavery re-
produced in this city at the present
time if he will but pay visit to the
alley in the rear of Market street
south of Fourteenth. The workhouse
gang (druAken) criminals, made SO by
the hands of capital, are tearing up
bricks in the alley and turning them
aver. There are a number of them
wearing ball and chain, in this civil
lied day of ours. Just take a trip.
over to Market street and you will
also find many men Who would be glad
to work, knocked out of employment.
The worker of today is compelled to
compete with the workhouse gang or
starve. Such is life in this free eoun-
try of ours.

charges of the mine owners that the
men make at least $3.50 a day. It is
to avoid being sent up against the
fiokleness of Dame Nature for the
mere pleasure of drawing "a goose

miners are demanding a minimum

Occasionally, however, all the condi-

out that he has cared $3.50 a month.
But he has not yet reckoned with the
pay check. When this is received he
finds that he has only been credited
with $88 L.
1--WE investigated this case and
found that the only evident reason for
cheating the miner out of his pay was
that mine officials thought that $3.50
was too much for any one miner to
spend" said J. C. Lowney, executive
board member Of the Western Fedora.

But the Pope mill isn't paid for Nor

profits from the tin plate business
Profits for the Phillips company have
ceased never to return again, unless
they propose something more of the
workers product to the producer.
These mill owners are wise "ginks, .
and will sooner take a small profit
than none at all. They will sooner
run union shop than no shop at
all. And that is what it has come to.
Henry Dubb Wanted.
Can any one figure out profit in
employing horde of men who never
before saw tin mill and paoy them
$40 day for trying to create the i'm
preston around Steubenville that they
are producing tin plate? Does the
employment of an army of thugs at IS

in the mill and keep others out pay?
Does this produce profits? Or is it
just waste of the precious circulat-
ing medium? If any mathematician
can make this square and show a pro-
fit to the Phillips company, such per-
sons fellow students are awaiting
him at the state institution for the
violently insane.
The workers are not responsible for
the company having contracted so
so many large debts and that they are
required to pay interest on this Dor
rowed money. 1t is plainly a case

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
BEGINS 59TH ANNUAL CONVENTION TODAY

The big fight at the convention un-
deabfedly will be that led by Fred
Barker, Of Spokane, the aspirant for
the presidency of the union, on the
question of increasing the membership
of the Executive Council to twenty
members. This proposition has been
brought up repeatedly in the recent an
nual conventions and was always de-
feated.
The chief argument of the present
Executive Council, composed of three
members, President Lynch, Secretary
Treasurer Hays and Second Vice Pres
ident Miller, is that the larger body
would be more cumbersome, more ex-
pensiye and deliberative, rather than
efficient.
The question of af1hating the five
big international unions controlling

In a business way, its achievements
have been tremendous. The Interna-
tional Typogra phical Union carries on
series of enterprises with success
envied by private concerns. Its old
age pension syste mis- perhaps the best
of any yet tried in this country. Its
mortuary insurance fund has balance
in the banks of nearly half million
dollars.
The latest venture of the interna-
tional has been the establishment of a
technical school for journeymen and
apprentices. 1t maintains a Union
Priters' Home nj Colorado, for aged
members who are unable to support
themselves. The building is one of the
finest of the kind in the country. Since

Elm Grove Strike

It is pleasing to note that the strike
situation at Elm Grove is brighter
than ever before. On August 5th and
9th, nine men who had been working
as strike breakers, joined the ranks OF
the strikers.
Scarcely any coal Is being mined
and the Coal Company acts very
much worried, and are beginning to
realize the IVA hsest thing s4 than
to do Is sign USs and recogmazS re
union.
Considerable life has been put into
the struggle by the miners of late,
and victory for them is now In sight,
and they certainly deserve it all.

Amalgamated Association of Steuben-
vile was also present and asked for
the assistance of the Assembly for
funds for the strikers. Fifty dollars
was donated to him for their benefit.
A resolution was also passed endors-
ing the strike.
The total receipts of the meeting
were $500 and expenditures $3.50.
