RESOLUTION.

Whereas. The struggle Of the work

wealth of the nation, and their ex-
ploiterS. the capitalist class, grows
ever tiercer. Although modern ma
chinery has made it possible to sup
ply the necessities Of life in abundance
10 all the people, the capitalist class
through its ownership Of the means
Of production and distribution takes
from the workers the major part Of
their product and leaves them scarce
y enough to maintain life. The cap
italist mass enormous fortunes while
the workers lead lives Of misery and
poverty. And
"Whereas, These conditions are the
basis Of the bitter struggle which is
manifes1ing itself on all sides. The
reduction Of the purchasing power OF
TIE wages Of tie workers and tho
consequent lowering OF their standard

pera-e struggle for more bread. In
the mines, mills and factories Of this
state, in the copper mines of Michi-
gan. and in the coal mines of CoIora-
do, the bitter class war. resulting from
the bitter ana unbearabIe oppression
by the cxpioiters, has been raging.
In all these struggles the workers
have found that the organized power
OF government were in the hands Of
the master class. Numbers Of the

PLATFORM.

Realizing that Society is composed
to two economic classes. whose inter-
est are directly opposed to each other,
and that the Socialist Party is the po-
litica representative of the working
class, we the Socialists Of the Fifth
Congressional District of West Virgin
ia. in mass convention assembled, on
this, the 4th day Of July, 1911, here
hy realfirm our allegiance to Inter
rational Socialism. and to the Social
ist Party Of America, endorsing the
platform and principles of the same,
and declare for the following pro-
gram:
Industrial.
We propose the enactment Of an
eight-tour day law; Legislation OF the
right to strike. pickett and boycott;
abolition Of the injunction and the
militia as a means Of breaking strikes,
and the establishment Of & trial by
jury in all labor disputes. We pledge

ers' organization under the principle
OF industrial democracy.

Woman Suffrage.

We consider the struggle for equal
economic and political rights for wo-
men secondary only to the struggle
for emancipation Of the working class
Women bear an equal share of the
burdens of society and are entitled to
all the rights and privileges which
men possess. We pledge to the wo-
men Of the state our hearty support
in their struggle for enfranchise-
ment
The Socialist party declares that
the evils of the present system can be
relieved and their final disappearance
fastened by social, political and eco
nomic measures which will have the
effect Of lettering the living condi-
tons and strengthening the position
of the workers, and curbing the pow
ers Of the dominant capitalist class.
Such measures of relief as we may
be able to force from capitalism are
but a preparation of the workers to
seize the whole powers of govern
ment in order that they may thereby
lay hold Of the whole system of So
cialized industry and come into their
rightful inheritance.

Canada Has One

Resident of New Dayton, Alberta,
Gives His Opinion of Merits
of Canada

To The Gazette
The contributor to your valued
columns of few weeks ago is here
with called to account. He piled the
pen of SANDER for the apparent pur-
pose of picturing Canada as being
about as good for farming as the
Sahara desert for the Matching of
fish. Either John PfantZe looked at
Canada through rat hole or some
enterprising land shark sold him a
section of snow covering the Hudson
bay.
Unfortunates who are destined to
spend the rest of their existence in
the states have weird idea of Can
ada. Somewhere or other they have
gotten the idea that as soon as you
cross the border, you cast your lot
with tribe of greasy Eskimos, live
on seal fat, or else die of loneliness.
They thing that Canadian weather is
II months winter and the other month
d late in the fall, without any
daylight except the reflection from
the Aurora Borealis. They imagine
we can't grow crop of wheat once
in ten years unless the King of Eng
land installs steam pipes between
every furrow, moistens the soil with
garden sprinkler, and then asks
providence to head off the Polar biz
yards.
| pay homage to the Queen of the
North, the fruitful bosom of Gods
creation, the paragon of earthly para
discs. Providence smiles on her
through sunbeams that rise in lust
rous tint from the depths of the At
lantic, travel their continental course
of sixteen hours and then dip for a
nights rest in the quiet waters of
the Pacific. Let one but scratch the
rolling surface of Canada's vest ex-
panse and a gold-tinted mantle floods
the land in gold-producing grains.
Craze to their fattened fill while Min
nesota coal bills run an upward race
with the thermometer. Delve be-
meath the sod and there are more
coal fields exposed than Guggenheim-
er ever grabbed from the YANKEES
government. Dig a well and you can
get sparkling water that does not
have to be dOctored to kill the germs
And while Canadians spend their sum-
mer nights under blanket, Mime
sofa swelters in her imitation of Hs-
des without check draft

have to kneel in the public streets and
pray God to save the king. And il
