After more than 4 year OF talking
and promising that substantial well
fare plansh for employers were being
considered. the stockholders Of the
Steel Trust. IL L meeting in Hoboken
this week. rccanted and turned down
the proposition with dull. sickcning
rhud.
Judge Gary, Chairman Of the Board
of Directors, vino led in all the talk,
pointed out that tho comine is now
cconomizing and could not afford to
cut into its prospective profits Of a
hundred million or more to the extent
OF $4,000, bagatcllc. to further the
welfare plan, and anyhow, the wages
now paid to the corporations employ
cs arc the highest ever paid in the
steel and iron industry,
That claim is the priest rot. The
highest wages received by stel and
iron workers was in the years prior
70 the Homestead strike, which strug-
gle WAS prccipitatcd b. the greed Of
that great philanthropist and peace
angel. Andrew Carnegie, for the pur-
pose OF destroying the Amalgamated
Association and in order that he
might accumulate more millions with
which TO show off his alleged benev-
olcnccs, pose rs wonderful humani-
tartan by bribery and sitting the pub
lie conscience and gain 4 thinly-ven-
eered and tleeting popularity among
belly-crawiing snobs and funkies.

The iron and steel workers today,
as q visit to any locality in which
trust mills are located will clearly sub
staHtiatc. are the most thoroughly en-
shaved and oppressed toilers on this
continent, excepting only the exploit
cd laborers Of the meat packing hous-
cS and textile mills.
And present condition never will be
materially aItared Ultil the govern
mcnt steps in and takes over the mills
and operates thcm along democratic
lines for all the people instead of for
hungry coupon-clipcrS.
The steel trust magnatcs know that
is the truth, and this is why Gary, ct
al. are bowling against the shadow of
socialism at every opportunity and
making all the nay possible why the
sun shines.

Movement that may develop into
international Importance is slated to
bc"in in Boston. Sunday, when an CT
fort will De made to lay the ground
work for 4 federation Of railway or
CARNATIONS in the transportation de-
par;ment. Last January the station
agents held conference IN Boston
and discussed the idea of forming a
close federation along the lines of the
railway organizations in Europe. and
It is rcDo, ted that delegates from the
conductors. trainmen, teleg4'aphers
and e:hc,. bodies have assured the sta
ton agents that they will attend the
conference. at which there will like
wise be present an official Of the new
INFORMED British railway workers
organization. There is already in ex-
istcnce 4 Transportation Department
in the 4. +. IL. ana also q system
federation composed OF organized
workers employed IN railway shops.
II the old D"othcrhoodS get together
IN 4 federation it is probable that the
foregoing bodies would be ready 10
en-oprratr with them.

Peter Collins, the Knight of Columbus
Lecturer, is A COWARD and A Fakir

menacing aspect Of Socialism.
Believing that nothing tends more
to an understanding of subject than
its free discussion in the open forum,
in which the respective views of con-
tending parties may be set forth, l
hereby challenge you to meet me IN
public debate, in the city Of Charlest-
on, w. Va. on the evening of April 20.
As YOU profess to "expose" Socialism
as a menace" especially to the work
ing class. | would suggest, as the sub
iect of debate, the following question::
RESOLVED, THAT SOCIALISM is
A MENACE TO THE WORKING
CLASS. You to affirm, to deny. The
time to be divided as follows: Open
ing, Affirmative 40 minutes; negative
40 minutes; rebuttal-affirmitive. 20
minutes; negative 80 minutes; clos
ng-atfirmitive, Is minutes. Should
this challenge meet with your accept
ance, we can then arrange such turth-
er details Of the debate as may seem
advisable.
Trusting that I may have the pleas
ure of favorable reply, beg to re-
main,
Respectfully yours,
H. W. Houston,
Representing Local Charleston Of the
Socialist Party, Of West Va.

take what little he has left? All men
should have an equal right to parti-
cipate in making all laws which he is
compelled to abide by and TO form
rules which will deal to himself as
we'll as all Of society the most tran
guilty and happiness that is possible
to get under just God. He should
have the right to say how much and
for what purpose the things which
God has placed here for all mankind
shall be used. Do you think that God
made one man to gobble the world
all up from the others?
Why not remove the blindfold from
the eyes Of justice, and establish 4
system Of happiness and tranquility
between mankind? Will you continue
letting others lead YOU where YOU
wouldst not go? This is one time that
you have delayed too long in filing
your lamps with oil. Have you a
friend that will take the working
mans part in the present war strug-
gle? No not one. How under the
heavens are YOU going to get Justice?
Justice will not work two ways. JUS
tice is the straight and narrow path.
Justice will prevail if you establish a
system that will permit justice. Now
is the time that all working men must
join together as brethren and demand
that every man shall have an equal
right to this world, join together as
a general union, and voting the ballot
that will always deal out justice. One
that will protect you as brethren.
The decision that Judge Peoples
rendered here in Portsmouth is exact
law. This decision is just, if you will
cut out the capitalism. But under the
present system it is impossible to deal
Justice to every man. Under this
Kind Of decision with capitalism arc
you going to get any more for your
work? Suppose that your boss de-
cided to pay 25 cents per week. Tn
der what law are you going to COM
pei him to pay you any more? Yes,
you can quit him and go somewhere
else and work for one just like him.
Taft said God knows, Wilson said
wait until summer, now we will be
able to furnish employment for all,
as war is here we will have plenty
Of bullets to cat, and nice dam place
to sleep, Chow beautifully. Are We 4
people endowed with reason going
to continue voting for such system?
Down with this kind Of humanity and
such a system. And up with the
blessing of liberty, workingmen use
your brains, you have brains, what do
you think that God placed them in
side of your head for. Some Of you
would be better off if YOU would be
without any.
Remember, in the next presidential
election, also in all Offices be sure and
place a socialist representative. Fill
all of the Offices and see what you
will have. You will want to commit
some rash act for being fool so

War g, s,

You the working man OF this great
and free country, the land of the
brave and free. Do you know that
You are being handed a line Of sweet
air, by your form Of government 9?
In other words the peanut politicians
who you elect to represent you.
The constitution declares that no
man shall be deprived of life, liberty,
or property without due process of
law, also extends to every man the
equal right Of protection. Is your re-
preventative doing exactly the thing
that you elected him for. Do you
think that he should place before the
public the question of war, for gen
eral vote? Is he doing this? Has
President Wilson explained to the
people the reason that he is taking
the view of the matter as he is? In
this view has he said anything about
American and foreign interests in
Mexico? Has he explained to the
people why he is taking the steps that
he is just at the time that Villa is
marching on Mexico City? Why has
he not taken these steps before now?
Is it not a fact that he has positively
refused to recognize Huerta as presi-
dent of Mexico? If this is so how is
it possible for this man to insult the
United States? Why not hold Huerta
responsible alone for his conduct?
(The people are innocent of the Of
fense.)
You the working man who are you
going to fight for, your country or
private interests? 1t is a fact that
the railroads, mines and oil fields be-
long to American interests II fnct
the whole Of Mexico is owned by out
side people. This is just what the
Mexicans are fighting for, the very
same thing that you form unions for,
to get Just little more Of what the
Great God has placed here for man
kind. Whom did God give the world?
Do you suppose that he gave it to
only few as they are trying to make
you believe? Who is going to stand
the loss of life, debt heaped upon
debt for hundreds of years to come.
Are you willing for your children to
be placed in bondage of this debt?
Are you willing to leave your wives,
children and sweethearts at home
while you are fighting to hold the
wealth for the rich man? What kind
of reward are you going to receive
for your service? Yes no doubt a
flag wrapped around you and one to
float in the breeze over your grave,
lis it not nice to die herol. What
is the working man receiving for his
efforts in society? (Only very poor
eXistence).
Are you establishing tranquility be-
tween mankind? Do You love your
neighbor as yourself? Are you liv-
ing honest, hurting no one, rendering
to every man his just due? AS all
mankind are from the same common
family Are you not brethren? Then
why fight your brethren, trying to

Just think of the monkey that roam
the jung!es of South Africa going out
and gathering nuts and fruits and
then sitting himself down under
bamboo tree and enjoying himself to
his hearts content, and then think Of
the wage slaves Of this country that
produces all the wealth of the country
and then turn it over to the capital
ist masters and then build 4 wall
around it and shut themselves out to
starve. Then the politicians have the
CUTS to tell US that We are the wisest
people on earth. Bah! it's all Bull.

eral other thugs were in the hire of
Employers Association. They could
find no evidence desired by their mas
tcrs to create a lot OF noise in the pa
pers and imprison union men for al
lged lawnessness, so they decide to
manufacture proof of wrong doing.
killman and ore OF his pals went to
work in tunnel in the Cascade Noun
tains for half a day, and when they
quit work they stole II sticks of dyni-
mite. Later, in Georgetown, they
manufactured a bomb out Of a piece
Of gas pipe, which was placed under
the house where the transfers lived.
Then killman and Semple notified De-
putty Sheriffs Roberts and Sullivan
what they mad discovered. But they
rather overreached themselves. They
we're so enthusiastic and voluable that
they controtiicted each other in some
details and the officers decided TO hold
them as witnesses. After further
questioning killman broke down and
revealed the whole conspiracy. Sem

The following challenge was sent
to Peter Collins, the Anti-Sociallst
lecturer, Of the knights of Columbus,
that secret organization of Catholic
ism, and he was too cowardly to ac-
cept. Out Of justice to the committee
on arrangements for the local
knights of Columbus we want to say
that they accept the challenge and
express themselves as thinking that
the question was one for open discus
sion, but when they wired Collins or
the headquarters of the K. OF Cs
they absolutely refused to let Collins
meet Houston in joint debate. This
shows that Collins is a fakir and is
afraid to debate the question. Fol-
