ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
OF MINER PRISONERS
Especial Underground to The Labor
Argus and the Majority.) =.
Bull Pen, Mucklow

DUH Gil, MuChIOW,
March Is, 1913
Robbed of our liberty, deprived of
our constitutional right, we, the vic
Tins of the most damnable military
1espotism that ever cursed and op-
pressed people, are herded in these
vile bull pens, in constant danger of
our lives fro. mhigh-power rifles in the
hands of the pimps, murderers and
thugs who surround US.
Today, while So men. were crowded
into one of these miserable pens, one
of these yellow-legged peaked-head-
ed would-be murdefers fired shot
through the building, tearing off the
right hand of G. w. Mccoy, one of the
prisoners, and seriously wounding H.
V. Craise in the face. 1t was mira
Gle that several were not killed, and
designs of the cowardly brute who per
pretrated this outrage carried to fruiti-
ton, as the missile of death came with
in a fraction Of an inch of the heads
of several Of the prisoners.
The lsekeys who command this
band Of tinhorn pimps claim that the
shooting was due to the fact that the
Hperpretrator disobeyed orders. But
how do we know but that the disobey-
ing of public orders are carrying out
of those secretly given? This is the
fourth instance in which guns have
been discharged in and around this
bull pen since we have been in it,
and in each case certain men barely
escaped death. We have no assurance
that this accidental co shooting will
stop. When SO men are crowded into
a small room, liable at any time to be
shot through by high-power rifle in
the hands of a weak-minded, yellow
clad scab-herder, or brutal mine
guard, clothed in the yellow livery of
the state those mems lives are in con-
slant danger. .
Not satisfied with robbing the citi-
zens of this state of heir rights and
liberties, the, degraded jackeys of the
coal barons herd them in vile bull pens,
where they are liable to be MANNED
and murdered at any time by the
cowardly ours who roam loose in this
jungle, ever on the look out for an
opportunity to ply their trade Of
rapine and murder.
/ VINO Will pay lot u. w. mccoy s
good right hand? Who will support
this crippled father, his wife and their
six little children? This man must go
through life manned and the great
state Of West Virginia is guilty of this
hellish deed.
How long, oh people, how long will
the working class furnish the mangled
eorpses and the MANNED, bleeding vic
tins? We pay fearful price in blood
and tears for our cowardice and
Ignorance.

WitnessPay
Still Heidi Up

The State of West Virginia is very
prompt In paying its debt If you
deny this fact, then just ASH George
Allen st. Clair or Brannon, who
were held as prisoners for So days in
the tower of the Ohio County jail.
They were locked up being held as
witnesses on the ssChattie" Bullock
murder case. After being confined
for So days, and after the accused
men had been declared not guilty, they
were released. They were given q
slip some time later telling them that
the state had decided to allow them
the large sum Of $50 each for their
sabre Of the pie while they were con-
fined in the county jail. However,
they were allowed their board, which
usually consists of turkey or chicken,
and strawberry shortcake at each
meal.
The boys did not think so much OF
that, but they have not been able to
get their money yet. They viii not
get it until the end of this term OF
eour. They were released before the
end OF the last term and by all means
should be entitled to their money after
that term was completed. But they
viii have to wait. There are many
laws of the state that need to be
changed, and If this is the law In this
particular case, then it should sure be
changed, too.
The boys who were guilty OF no
crime but were compelled to stay be
hind theb ars and see no one for %
days and they are still waiting on
that paltry sum Of less than . dollar

ness is also Illuminating. According
to the New York World he testified
that when he asked Hangar for
sub contract he was informed that ten
per cent of the profit would have to
be reserved for engineers fees and
other expenses that it wouldn't do
to show on the books" The World
suggests that the revelations made
may account for the vast fortunes
made by some Tammany leaders, AMI
makes this observation:
IF Hangers story be confirmed,
such wild talk Of the sources Of in.
come OF Tammany gentlemen with no
visible means Of support should be no
longer heard. The percentage Han
gar swears he paid for advice would
amount to s750,O00 on aqueduct work
alone. If like conditions prevail upon
highway construction another huge
sum would accrue from that. No
wonder Tamma,y' leaders are ch.

THE LOGAN CITY ELECTRIC
LIGHT PLANT

Under date of September 9TH the
Logan City Municipal Electric Light
Plant sent circular communication
"To Patrons of the Logan CITY h &C.
trio Plant" from which we note the
following:
For some time past, the Logan
City Electric Light Plant has been
furnishing service somewhat In ex-
cess of its capacity, and owing to the
fact that new homes are being erect
cd others being remodeled and en-
larged. thereby necessitating addition
al service, and from the fact that ap'
plications for service are continually
presented, 1t has become necessary 10
take some action to eliminate some
of the excess service. In this regard
we intend to disconnect the service
where payment for same Is allowed
TO become delinquent for any great
length Of time and furnish same 10
patrons more prompt in the payment
of their accounts. Why shouldn't we?
Is It good business policy to continue
TO furnish service, espec. ally when IL
is in such demand, to patrons VINO al
low their accounts to become delin-
ouent in preference to those who are
prompt in the payment of same.
Illuminating is it not? And rich
in admissions too. In the first place
II sets forth that the plant Is over
taxed at the present time, and can
not come anywhere near providing
for those who desire the municipal
service. and in the second place 1t
makes the plain admission that the
city has h lot of dead beats on its
payroll from which its special collec-
tor cannot collect.
In both of these conditions we see
moth ng but disaster in the end. To
remedy the first steps should be TAX
en- to put the plant in shape so that
all the people might have its benefits.
1t is not right and fair to continue
it yea after year under conditions
where but favored few can be serv-
ed by 1t. Suppose other plants in
our midst should dispose Of all their
power elsewhere leaving Logan City
to take care Of itself where would
those be who do not come within the
few whom 1t now serves? A NUM-
cipal pant is no doubt fine thing
when 1t is adequate and properly
handled. Steps should be taken to
make 1t adequate and bring 1t up to
date. To remedy the second, all &C.
counts should be collected. 1t is not
enough to put up a whine IF you
don't pay Wen discontinue your ser.

OUR DUAL GOVERNMENT

Many American cities have two gov
ernments. One is elected by the vo-
tiers to perform all the functions OF
popular government; the other is
self constituted and self perpetual
ing. One works in the open daylight,
visible to all; the other operates in
the hidden corners under cover of
darkness. Considerable light was
thrown the other day on the opera
tons of the hidden government Of
New York, when Hangar testified
that he had paid 100000 for expert
advice relative to contract.
There had been bidding for a con.
tract In the city's Catskill aqueduct
work and the lowest bidder proved
to be the Mason & Hangar company
II was soon found by Mr.. Hangar
according TO his sworn testimony II
court, that he could accelerate thu
award of the contract by seeing MIR
Murphy's friend and partner, jane
p. Gaffney. Mr.. Gaffney's function
in such matters was to give "exper
advice" ard for this advice" Mr.
Hangar paid $4,000 in bills which h
fortunately, happened to have In hi
pocket, and so efficient was this re,
pert advice that his firm got the ccI
tract. The testimony OF another wi

TO BUILD HOMES

Secretary Lane of the Int 9rior de-
partment, after tour of the West,
Is convinced of the fact that the duty
of the government is to help the
people to make homes 'Ir" he says,
I'VE can tighten their burden the gov
eminent of the United States will
suffer not at ALL" He says he found
thousands of self sacrificing meh and
women displaying as r: al heroism and
fortitude in their efforts to build up
homesteads and promote community
life as was ever shown on the field
of battle. Far from the railroads
and amid many difficulties, they are
building homes, and was particular
ly touched by the many noble suff-
er ny women, on whose shoulders
falls the main burden of the home"
This is good, American doctrine.
The duty of M government is TO
tighten in every way the burden Of
the home builder who goes out into
the desert to redeem it. The Difficult.
ties even under the most favorable
conditions, are many, and 1t takes
real men and women to fight the
battles at the isolated outposts of CIV
lization. The reference to the wom-
en- is thoughtful. The women have
taken their full share IN the redemp-
ton Of the waste places all over the
west, and not least here in Utah. And
they have left to their posterity
heritage in physical and moral
strength and character, which consti-
tutes one of the most valuable assets
of the American nation.
There has been a great deal Of
talk of conservation of resources late
ly, but this inheritance Of character
formed by hard work and strong faith
in God is one resource which should
not be wasted. The tendency of
our time Is toward indifference 70
all serious questions, toward life
of ease and diversion. To yield to
this tendency is to sluander the most
precious heritage left to their chill
dren by the pioneer men and WON
en- OF this nation. -Deseret News.

be overlooked that last November

lions of men gave the six. millions
the power to control federal legis-
lation. That will not happen again.

THE LOW BACKED CAR

When first saw sweet Peggy
Twas on a market day,
A low backed car she drove and sat
Upon truss Of hay.
But when that hay was blooming
And decked with flowers of spring
No flower was there that could COM
With the blooming girl ! sing,
AS she sat in the low backed car
The man at the turnpike bar
Never aswed for the toll, -.
But Just rubbed his ould poll
And looked after the low backed car.
In battles wild commot!on
The proud and mighty Mars
With hostile scythes demands his
tithes
OF death in warlike cars,
While Peggy, peaceful goddess,
Has darts in her bright eye
That knock men down in the market
town
As right and left they fly,
While she sits in her low backed car
Than battle more dangerous far,
For the doctors art
Cannot cure the heart
That is hit from that low backed
car.
Sweet Peggy round her car. s.r,
Has strings Of ducks anu geese.
But the scores Of hearts she slaugh-
BY far outnumber these
While she among her poultry sits
Just like a turtle dove,
Nell worth the cage / do engage
or the blooming god OF love
While she sits in her low backed
Tae lovers come near and far,
, And envy the chicken
That Peggy is pickin
AS she sits in her low backed car
, Oh, I'd rather own that car, sir,
: With Peggy by my side

0 While Peggy would sit beside me
With my arm around her waist,

At her glance and her sigh,

AHEAD

The human race gets its hope and
inspirat on from the things ahead.
The mere satisfying of bare neces-
sity has never been enough. To go
ahead-to be bigger and more impor-
tant tomorrow than today has always
been the object in view Of the major
ity of people. Else there would have
been nothing of progress.
Plan ahead.
Look into the possibility of things.
Set your imaginat on to work. Draw
On your accumulated experience and
knowledge. What you have SO Sc
curely now, you may not have later
on. So plan ahead. Ask yourself
what you could do first II you had
nothing of what you do have. Unless
you plan ahead, you may be sure that
you will never get ahead.
Think ahead
No successful business man ever
Yl-nned ahead without first thinking
ahead No mind can grow without
taking the thought at hand and meas
uring 1t against the possible thoughts
CT someone else, or the thoughts o.
those OF the rast. Thought begets
thought. TIL nix ahead.
Live ahead.
Plan ahead and think ahead and
you will find yourself living ahead,
which fact, being interpreted, means
that you are vital factor in the
universal progress of the world. And
It is always the proportion that you
play and not the play itself that
counts greatest so far as you are
concerned. George Mathew Adams.
