MI rs' Convention In
Session At indianapolis

of the craft union movement in this
country can be judged by their attack
on The American Federation of Labor,
which they characterize as rcnCtion-
airy. foSSilized and worm-eaten and
by their emphatic stand for industrial
unioniSm.
One of the first resolutions present
ed 10 the convention was one demlnd-
ing that the gathering adjourn to some
other city which had shown Il greater
friendlineSS toward the working class
than had indianapolis during the re-
cent TeamsterS' and Street Car Work
ers' strikes. This resolution was lost
by narrow margin. the added eX-
pense TO the delegated being the chief
opposition.
Resolutions for government owner
ship of mines were passed unanimous
ly. and demands for immediate federal
investigations of conditions in the
mining regions of Colorado and Michi-
Jan we're wired to every congress-
man and senator.
The reports OF the officers of the
organization show that it has made
wonderful progress in the last year.
and that its finances are in good con-
dition. Wage scales will expire over
4 considerable portion of the Middle
Western fields March 81. and ample
preparations are being made for any
thing that may happen.
Much of the conventions time has
been devoted to the situation III West
Virginia and it has been decided that
the work of organization shall g.
forward with renewed energy here.
and continue until every coal mine
in the state is member of the mIIlt-
ant union.

Constitutional
Convention

There is a wide discussion just now
among union men. Socialists and the
workingcIass IN general, relative to
the sbsoIute necessity Of the thorough
revision of the West Virginia State
Constitution.
1t is admitted by all honest men
that we are twenty years behind
Ohio. California; Oregon and all those
states which are abreast Of the trend
toward an ideal democracy. The
election IawS are antiqua1ed and bear
The imprint of politicians who sought
10 silence the voice Of the people
rather than give it full expression.
The cities and towns of West Vlr-
einia are now wholly at the mercy OF
bic business. Each municipality should
have the power to engage in any nn-
dcrtakine that will advance the inter-
ests of the citizens. AS now consti-
tuted the municipalities are powerless.
The iniative. referendum and right of
recall should also be speedily enacted.
We predict that the question Of call
in6 a constitutional convention will
become. in the near future, one Of the
leaing issues in West Virginia poll
tics.

The Metropolitan Magazine comes
out after flim-fiamminG the comrades

FORM that is perfectly SATISFAC-
TORY to their advertisers and the
CAPITALIST CLASS. 1t is time we
began supporting our own papers and
magazines instead Of spending money
to help ScheminG capitalists who mean
To betray you at every time Of trouble.

He Saw the Troops

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2O.-There is no doubt whatever that Villa with good sized army of perhaps 3O,OOO men, is encamped within an easy dis tance of Aguas Calientes, according to travellers arriving here, who say they saw the troops.
 One man, of long residence in Mex ico, said Villa found several thous- and pro- -Carranza men in or near the city and gave them twelve hours to get forty miles away.
 If you need it I'll made it eight cen hours" he is said to have told them. "The presence of your armed force is not proper in this peaceable gathering"
 Villa himself sleeps in his clothes in the car on the siding at the sta ton. it is said. Hundreds of peons gather along the tracks, hoping for a glimpse of him and from time to time he rewards them by passing across the car platform to another car He wears sometimes a cork helmet of the sort affected by Englishmen in warm countries.
 In the town, it is said, Villa is real ly supreme and keeps good order. He has had several officers shot for crawling.

AFFECTS EVERY INDUSTRY
Whatever Condition Obtains With
 Railroads Does So With Other Industries
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATcH1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-No con ditiOn confrontS the American rail- roads that does not equally affect every other industry was the argu ment advanced before the interstate commerce commission by counsel for the shippers today. The shippers themselves are against the petition of the eastern railroads for a general increase of at least five per cent iI freight rates.
 Commissioner Meyer paid special attention to the attack of Special Counsel Brandeis on the policy of the railroads in maintaining divi- dcnds without respect to the finan cial straits winch they now profess to find themselves.
 Railroad representatives replied to Meyer that a reduction in divisions would impair the credit of the lines. Frederick w. Strauss, a New York banker, expressed the opinion that the average stockholder is but little interested in property improvements and is chiefly interested in what he gets out of an investment.
