Would it not be cheaper to have a
place in the basement of the city build
ing for these poor unfortunates to
stay? They could get shelter for the
night, and possibly it would be the
means of keeping them from breaking
and entering box cars and other places
in order to get shelter for the night.
The towns of BenWood, Martins Ferry,
IBellaire and MouHdsville all provide a
place for this kind, for their outcasts,
and often. they have to take care of
some of those of the city of Wheeling.

Ohio Miners Mix
In Locke Fight

The coal miners Of Eastern Ohio,
comprising Sub District Of District
6, United Mine Workers, with head
uarters in Bridgeport, will take a
hand in the fight being waged against
organized labor of this section by the
Locke shoe stores. This was decided
at the meeting of the Belmont Trades
and Labor Assembly at Bridgeport,
Sunday.
In the discussion that followed the
bringing up of this matter, the great
strength of the miners was dwelt up
on by various speakers and it was
brought out that the many locals of
this craft had not been appealed to
yet A motion thereupon prevailed,
to have the committee of the Assem-
bly,, together with committee from
the Wheeling Retail Clerks Union,
wait upon the district officials of the
Mine Workers and solicit the aid of
that organization. This will of course
be ready forthcoming. and it is the
intention to issue literature in English

GOVERNOR HATFIELD
VISITS STRIKE ZONE
Labor Argus service.)

Charleston, w. Va, March I'll
Especial. )-Governor Hatfield who has
now been governor Is days, toured the
strike zone during the week and the
only message he handed the robbed,
defrauded, insulted, tyrannized men
was that they were to have square
DEAF.
The working class has had some
samples of square deals" handed out
by Republican and Democratic Office
holders. Theo Roosevelt, the bonn
,bastic author of the square DEAF, as
applied to the American working class
is an implacable enemy of that same
class. 1t was this same political
mountebank who condemned Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, while they
were within the shadow of the gallows
and still untried. 1t was the same
Roosevelt who crushed the workers at
Croton Dam. 1t was Glasscoek, the
Elkins-Davis puppet and follower of
Crazy Horse, who annihilated the con-
stitution of West Virginia in his con-
scienceless effort to crush the miners
of West Virginia. We are now about
to have an injection of square deal"
by DR.. Hatfield The hyperdermic in-
lection will doubtless be administered
with a bayonet. 1t is time the miners
were getting onto this square DEAF
game. It's a hoax. Paste this where
you can refer to it in the future: IF
A SQUARE DEAL" MEANS JUS
TICE, YOU WILL NEVER GET 1T
UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION OF
GOVERNOR HATFIELD OR ANY
OTHER CAPITALIST GOVERNOR.
Why do we say this? For, several
reasons. In the first place, he is an
old line Republican, and the whole
history of America furnished not sim
gle instance of Republican governor
giving JUSTICE to the working class.
Next, he has maintained his lawless
military court in defiance of all law
and in violation of the constitutional
rights of the miners. The courts of

MOUNDSV|LLE PRINTERS
STRIKE NEWSPAPERS

The long expected Printeds' Union
has at last materialized in Mounds
vile, as evidenced by the fact that
strike was successfully called in the
plants of the two newspapers of the
town, the Echo and the Journal. Ten
men are affected. The strike was call
ed in self defense, as Manager Shaw,
of the Echo, was leading in a move
ment to destroy the union. d,
The union was formed several
weeks ago and chartered by. the l. 7.
U. Immediately afterward Shaw dis
charged four men. Since then he has
done everything possible to ruin the
organization. That he cannot succeed
is shown by the fact that the union
has already signed up two shops, the
Mound City Printing Company and ].

That Labor is determined upon
identifying the Moundsvilie Mound is
shown by the persistence of the
Moundsville Assembly. At the Sun
day meeting it was determined to
have the committee call upon the
Board of Trade and city council and
endeavor to induce them to join in the
movement to make the place public
park.

REAT STRIKING

PETTY BULLDOZING
BY ELLIOTT'S THUGS
(Labor ARGUS servlee.l

Charleston, W. Va, March 21.-
(Special.) General Elliott, with a
gang of liveried and plain clothes
thugs at his heels. spends his time in
skulking up and down through the
strike zone, imposing his pompous and
tyranical presence upon the miners
and their families, issuing insulting
orders and seeking at all times to draw
Others into the coal baroiis' despetic
nets-the bull pens. On last Saturday
ers' camp, near Eskdale, insulted some
of the women and girls and was
soundly thrashed for his inapudence by
a young man who happened to be
passing. On Sunday General Elliott,
Major Pain and Balwin Guard ried,
in command of gang Of scab pIotec-
tors, appeared at the camp. towing the
drunken scab. Everybody in the
camp was lined up for inspection by
the scab who tried to identify the
youngster who had given him the lick
ing he so richly deserved. The scab's
assailant was not found, in fact, he
was a stranger to the people OF the
camp. However, the occurrence was
used as an excuse for arresting Law
renee Dwyer, secretary of the local
union, and dragging him the bull
pen at Pratt, on no other charge than
that he had refused to give ipforma-
ton in regard to the identity of the
young man who had dared lay violent
hands on the sacred scab of the coal
barons. which Elliott and his gang are
supposed to protect. On the way
back to camp this delectable bunch
who take their orders from the coal
operators, stopped at the Eskdale bar
gain store and ordered it closed. Chief
Scab Protector Elliott qualified the
order with the declaration that if the
store was not closed and kept closed
he would burn it down. The Eskdale
bargain store has been selling food
and clothing to the strikers, and there
by earned the displeasure of the mine
owners, who wish the strikers and
their families would starve, hence the

necessary. He promised that he will
still render occasional assistance to
