WE WILL NOW HAVE
A Feu Remarks

BY WALTER B. HILTON

JOIN THE UNOIN! You "common'' laborers You
- get the things you want by organizing You need
wages shorter working hours better working
dtons You need these not only for yourselves but to
better provide for the wife whom you promised to provide
for to better protect the children whose existence you
responsible for You would like to give your wife the
pleasures in life that it but natural she should enjoy
you would like to make the pathway of your children
easier than yours has BEEN Why, then do you not try
to do it?
You would try, but you do not know the way. You
have thought of the union but you have been told many
things agansit that you somewhat fearful Perhaps
you imagine that the walking delegate and horde Of
officers will tax you and eat into your scanty wages that
you will be RESTRICTED and your freedom destroyed It
is not surprising if you believe this for the papers haye
told you With headlines they have told about
dynamtngs and murders, and boycots and STRIKES until
you could not be blamed you absorbed the idea that I'M
onism mess Of violence and turbulence. But the
most important part of all this is that it is not true
It would be hard to find business agent or walking
deegate'' who does not twice his wages, and who
could not get twice his wages from the enemies of Labor
Almost every executive official Of the Coal Operators As
sociatons was representative Of the workers coaxed
from them by doubled or quadrupled salary And no
officer OF any union really paid by the members Of the
union for his pay from the Dues and the dues are
always but small part Of the increased wages secured
from the employer So, in the last analysis all the ex
penses OF the union paid by the employer for it
money that the worker would not otherwise get from the
employer.
As to violence that is subject in itself It would be
possible to show that every government earth and al
most every religion particularly the Christian was estab
shed in violence that almost every we have and GER
tany every real estate Decd traced by truthful hsorys
hand, would show it's roots in violence.
But violence plays less important part in the or
ganzaon of Labor than perhaps any other modern move
ment Never has violence been adopted offensive
by any group OF workers anywhere The debera
tOnS of ORGANIZED Labor in it's meetings are models of the
real purpose OF parliamentary DISCOURSE for bringing out
the views of the hmblest member; there u.s. in fact no
real democracy In organizations in America outside the
Labor movement and Democracy denial Of violence
In truth the Labor organization seeks always to protect
Its members from violence

satisfied that there were lots of peo-
pie in this community who had not

hour special sale, having some differ
ent inducements each day during the

success, but we have vet better in

This pamphlet shows that although
LIZ one-rOOm schools lave been con.
s0l1dated with other rural schools or
abandoned outright within the past
two years, there are yet in West Vir-
ginia, according to the opinion of the
county superintendent, 566 one-room
country schools that could be conso-
lidated or abandoned without any
great inconvenience to the scholars.
This Is a situation that every board
OF education should give careful con-
sloerat1On at their next annual meet
ing. For since it costs about $40 to
run each school, it can easily be seen
that the people are spending in the
neighborhood of $4,000 for the sup
