ONLY THREE MORE DAYS
OF The TIMES CONTEST

Gentle reader have you con
sidered that your subscription
might be the deciding factor in
The Times Great Prize Contest.
Consider for one moment that
one years subscription to The
Times will give you the bes
weekly paper in this section of
the State. and also entities you
to goodly number Of votes for
your favorite in the contest. One
yearly subscription may add
just enough to give your favorite
a small majority of the votes at
the close of the contest, and thus
make them a winner and APP
preciative contestant.
In a few short days when The
Times awards their grand list
of prizes the contestants who
marched, fought and lost will
look back to their early conquest
and say: We'll, if had only put
forth greater efforts during the
contest | might have been among
the winners. The heights of
victory may look steep and rug
ged, but the victory is just be-
yond the great obstacle.
If you wish to help your friend
do it now. If you have as
sisted any contestant and want
to help them some more why,
do it now.
For there is but three more
days. Promptly at seven O'Clock
p. M, next Saturday, March 7th,
the contest will end. This is
the last call. Rally round your
candidate for each and every
candidate needs all they can get.
They may have votes by the
scores and thousands-bu some
other may have them by the
hundred thousands. No candi-
date should be over-confident,
nor should any candidates
friends be in the same state of
mind. Over-confdence engen-
ders defeat. Whatever you do,
do it now.
| Let every contestant and her
friends be sure to turn In their
reports in plenty time to be
checked over by the contest
manager. Remember that moth
ing will be accepted after seven
O'Clock, and everything that will
be couuted in this contest must
be in the box by the time the
clock strikes. Usually there are
one or two contestants who try
to be last in turning in their re-
ports, and it is very often the
case that one or two contestants
fail to get their votes counted on
the last day, by failing to give
their reports to the Contest
Manager in time to be checked.
Be on time. 1t is mighty good
idea to bring in your report early
as possible Saturday morning,
and then work all day, and you
can bring in the remainder OF
the subscriptions that you secure
later in the day. 1t will not
hurt to make several reports
Saturday.

A LIFE WITHOUT HOPE.
Men Who Toll Twelve Hours a Day
Have No Social Pleasures.


Laborers compelled to work twelve
hours a day are worn out more rap
idly than We're the slaves Oh the south
ern plantations and are more effectual-
ly debarred from the common pleas
ures of life than many of the prisoners
in our penal Institutions was the
declaration made by DR.. Basil NJ. Man
ley at the recent meeting OF the Amer
lean Association For Labor Legisla-
ton at Washington.
DR.. Manly. who recently investigated
for the federal bureau Of labor condi-
tions of employment in the iron and
steel industry, asserted that the num-
Der of twelve hour men was enormous
in the manufacture of iron and steel,
gas, cement. paper and pulp, coke,
starch, beet sugar, glass bottles. in
many branches of the chemical indus
try, and in bakeries, and he added that
they form the labor force also in a
long list of minor industries.
These men, he said. are little bet
ter than slaves to the machines they
operate The twelve hour worker has
no time for recreation, no time for
friends, no time for his wife, no time
for his children. to whom he is a dull
stranger, who comes and goes, and
whom they see less frequently and
know less intimately than their school
teachers"

SAFETY FOR LABOR.
Effects of Unionism on Conservation of
Human Life.


Human Life.
Conservation of life has justified the
existence of labor organizations for
miners. even if that were the only
work Of advancement that could be
pointed out. asserts the United Mine
Workers Journal and it backs up its
claim with some interesting figures on
fatal mine accidents in organized and
unorganized states in the past two
years.
The figures show that almost as
many men were killed in the unorgan-
lied mines of Colorado, where the
strike war is being waged at present.
as in three organized states each OF
which had more miners than Colorado
That state. with about 1,600 miners
employed. had sixty fatalities in 1913
and seventy three in 1912. while Iowa
Kansas and Indiana together had only
nine more fatalities in the two years
than Colorado. West Virginia. describ-
ed as practically unorganized during
the period mentioned, had 239 fatalities
in 1913 and 303 in 1912, with about
$4,000 miners employed. This record
is contrasted with that for organized

Foes of Law and Order.

The greatest foes to order in this
country are not syndicalists and pro-
fessional revolutionists. The most
malignant enemies OF order are per-
sons such as operated not long ago
at Calumet and later at Trinidad and
who were busy last winter In West
Virginia and last spring and sum-
mer In Paterson. The men of prop
erty who encourage kidnapings and
deportations are men Of most extra
ordinary stupidity and are busy all the
time undermining their own interests.

Mine Workers GROWING.

William Green. secretary-treasurer OF
the United Mine Workers of America.
in his report to the biennial conven-
ton at Indianapolis. said: Within
the last two years we have
added 121. .426 new members to our
union. Half of the total gain in mem
bers shown by the American Fedora
ton OF Labor during the last year
came from our union. He announced
further that the organization now had
100000, every dollar OF which could
be used as a strike defense fund. Dur
ing the past two years S2.32S, 167.S7

poses amounted to 2,102,261. Among
the largest disbursement OF the year

ARBITRATION WINS.

ootent Factor In Settlement of Indus
trial Disputes.
Settlement of industrial disputes by
arbitration has found 50 much favor
the last twelve months that it may be
said to be the one distinctive labor
feature of 1913 The arbitration idea
has been helped largely by the New
lands law, a federal measure of con
siliation.
The enc great achievement under the
new law which displaced the Erdman
act early in the year was the adjust
ment of difference between the 1000
men and the owners of forty-6ve east
ern roads, an adjustment that meant
millions Of dollars increase for the
men and better and kindlier feeling
among workers and employers.

RIGHT TO ORGANIZE.

The law of the land assures to
workers the right to organize.
All who have any knowledge of
the world of industry concede
that without organization the
wage workers are helpless vic
tins Of the industrial forces that
are seeking their own self inter
est.
The right to organize is
sham, trick, q deceit. unless it
carries with 1t the right to
organize effectively and the right
to use that organized power to
further the interests of the work
ers. This implied right must be
assured. If it is alleged that
acts In themselves criminal or
unlawful are committed in en-
deavors to effect organization or
to secure the benefits of organ
ization, let those acts be dealt
with under due process of law.
But in the name of free labor.
in the name of free government
and free society, let the right to
organize never for one instant be
menaced or withheld. That right
is the foundation upon which all
else is builded = Samuel Com
pers.
