has served notice on striking miners
that they must vacate houses owned
by the company on or before Janu-

The strike has been on for several
months and was caused by a demand
of the operators in the eastern sec
ton for a lower rate than that agreed
to between the miners and operators
of western and central Ohio. This
rate was agreed to by the latter OPP
orators on the miners promise that
it would be enforced throughout the
state, and the present strike is not
only demand for living wage but
an effort to carry out pledges made
with employers.
The strike has been indorsed by
the United Mine Workers.

LABOR'S KINGDOM

Tomas A. Edison, looking into the
future, thinks the prospect OF the la
boring man is a particularly bright
one.
in 200 years, by the cheapening
of commodities, the ordinary laborer
will live as we'll as man does now
with 100000 annual income. Auto
matte machinery and scientific agri-
culture will bring about this result, y
Mr.. Edison says. Not individualism,
but social labor will dominate the fu-
ture; you can't have individual ma
chimes and every man working by
himself. Industry will constantly be-
come more social and interdependent.
There will be no manual labor in the
factories of the future The men in
them will be merely superintendents,
watching the machinery TO see that it
works right.
"The work day, believe. will be
eight hours. Every man needs that
much work to keep him out of mis-
chief and to keep him happy, But il
will be work with the brain, some
thing, that men will be interested in,
and one in wholesome, pleasant sur
roundings. Less and less man will be
used as an engine, or as horse, and
his brain will be employed to benefit
himself and his fellows.

ged away from their loved ones. their
happy homes broken up and they
themselves subjected to the ever
ready insults OF the parasites. We
know that there is plenty to do for
every man that is able to work, we
know that every one could produce
sufficient to keep themselves and
families with plenty and then we
would not have to hear this contemp-
tlble insult of charity that is always
thrown in our faces. Therefore it
becomes duty of organized labor
not to beg but to demand from our
so-called brainy statesman that the
government will be so reconstruct
ed that every one who wishes to work
should have the chance to do so and
should get as near as possible all
that they earn. Whenever The Gem
Worker will assume that policy,
shall only be too glad to throw my
share in with it, not only my share
but | can assure you of hundreds of
the best workers of this state will be
ready to stay with you to the finish
As to my own individual efforts they
will only be used to fight the REAL
PROLETARIAN fight, the fight for
the whole loaf or none, and to sup
port the present policy of The Gem
Worker as see it would be nothing
more than to give my support to the
worst enemy that the workers have
to fight, the business man, and also
the set that are now assembling in
Boise trying to fix some legal pre-
text whereby they can to still larg-
er degree exploit the workers. As
suring you that this is not written
with any animosity toward you or
the supporters of your paper, but sim
ply as friendly criticism, remain.

CHURCH AND LABOR UNIONS,

An important movement to bring
the labor movement and the church
in closer sympathy and understanding
with each other was started whenf
invitations were issued by the Alenleda
Building Trades Council to Rev. Geo
w. White, Rev. William Keeney Tow-
er and Rev. Albert w. Palmer to de-
liver series Of addresses at Building
Trades headquarters.
Many ministers have complained
that workingmen are non-church
goers while on the other hand work
.ingmen say that many churches show
little interest in the cause of the toll
ers. The ministers will be granted am
opportunity to show that the church
has something to offer the common
workman and to outline what in their
opinion should be the relation between
the church and labor movement.
In return it is proposed if agree
able to the ministers and their respec-
tive congregations. that representa-
tives Of the Building Trades Council
occupy the puipits to explain the aims
and purposes Of the organized work
ers.-Ex.

GEM WORKER
IS CRITICISED
Editor Receives Communication From District
Organizer Of American Federation Of Labor
Regarding Policy Of Gem Worker

The Gem Worker acknowledges re-
eeipt OF communication from Oh
son, OF Twin Falls, which presents
the militant side OF the question be-
tween Labor and Capital. We agree
with Mr. Olson as to the ultimate aim
which is that enforced poverty shall
be abolished and that every one who
is willing TO work must have the op-
portunity TO labor to the effect that
all should be we'll fed, well-clothed
and well-housed. But we prefer to
believe and think the facts warrant us
in so believing that there is no funda-
mental enmity between Labor and
Capital-and that which seems so is
the fault of system that is chang
ing with the progress of the world.
Mr.. Olson's letter is as follows:
