THE SCAB.

After God had finished the rattle
snake, the toad and vampire, He had
some awful Substance" left with
which He made a scab. A scab is a
two-legged animal, with a corkscrew
soul, a water-sogged brain and a COM
bination backbone, made of jelly and
glue. Where other people have their
hearts he carries a tumor of rotten
principles. When the scab comes
down the street honest men turn their
backs, and the angels weep tears in
heaven, and the devil shuts the gates
of hell to keep him out. No man has
a right to scab as long as there is a
pool of water deep enough to drown
his body in, or rope long enough
to hang his carcass with.
Judas Iscariot was a gentleman
compared with a scab, for after be-
traying his Master, he had enough
character to hang himself, and scab
has not.-Iron City Trades Journal.

Labor Forward Movement

part of the results of your efforts
the one place in the world today where
you are the only beneficiary of your
labor-where you get all that's coming
to you.
All the wealth of the world is the ac-
cumulated surplus of your labor-the
hold out on your wages-and it is the
mission of the unions to stop the hold
out game and establish equity in the
world.
You pay unwilling tribute to class
that dispises you, and, after gorging
themselves in every possible way,
there is still a large surplus of the
holdout on your wages and they use
that to enslave you still more-to
forge heavier chains to bind you to
your task
"You Swallow the Bait"
And you labor away, Indifferent to
it all; and when you are laid off, or
your wages cut, or the cost of goods
raised, and some corrupt newspapers
or politicians tells you: ITS the war,
you swallow the bait and console your
self by cursing the Germans or the
Allies-whicheve side your grand
father would have sworn at, were he
alive and in your place.
l hope I'm not laying it on too thick,
but, really, the union man who is in
differant to the He'll of the world to-
day, who 'mosies" around, submitting
supinely to every injustice that is
piled upon him and his fellow work
ers, and makes no active and intelli-
gent resistance has a mighty good call
down coming to him.
l regret to say that that man is very
plentiful in our unions and it is the
work of the Labor Forward movement
to go after him and coax him out on
the firing line. The man who stays at
home and let's things go by whatever
means they like is a victim of the
system of society that is modelled on
plan that don't call upon the work
ers to do anything except what they
are told.

UNIONS TO COMBAT
DETECTIVE AGENCIES

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The time
has arrived when this wrong to work
ing people can no longer be endured.
We must secure remedies to abate,
abolish or regulate the detective NUS
ance by effective state and national
legislation.
The above declaration is part of an
exhaustive report on detective agen-
cies and so-called employment offices,
which was approved by the A. F. of
l.. executive council, at its meeting in
this city last week.
The Illinois law governing these
evils is recommended as model for
legislation in the various states. The
bill introduced by Congressman Baltz,
in the house of representatives, Feb
ruary 5, 1914, can be incorporated into
law by congress, the executive council
believes. "If our organizations make
1t an ISSUE" they say.
The report continues:
"The wage earners have been
wronged by the misdeeds Of strike
breaking agencies. If they undertake
to grapple with this problem and it's
attendant evils, many good citizens in
other walks of life will undoubtedly
cooperate with us in behalf of prop
er, wholesome regime of law and Or
der, equally and impartially admins
tered and enforced.
"State alliances of executive offici-
ais and militia hooters with
strike breaking, gun-toting detective
agencies and Rockefeller wealth, must
cease, if these United States are to
be free in spirit as we'll as in letter"

Workers Classed With Beasts

In the present system of society the
working people occupy the same rela-
tive position as the beasts of the field
they go where they are driven, they
eat what they are given, they are
hitched in the harness of industry and
the employers stand over them with
the whip of hunger in their hands.
While they weekly pull the load So
ciety runs smooth, and most beauti-
full harmony prevails between capital
and labor. Orators in pulpit, press,
and on the platform proclaime the dig
nifty of labor and praise the workers
for their industry, loyalty and patriot
ism.
But let them rebel in the mildest
manner. Let them evince the desire
to take even minor part in the di-
rection of their own lives, of how long
they shall work and what portion of
their product they shall receive, and
10 and behold! The orators tune
changes at once The Industrious
patriots of yesterday are today con-
demned as enemies of society, buns
and vagabonds. The militia is loudly
called for. The machinery of the law
is set in motion to grind them. So
siety is all upset because workmen
want TO think and act for themselves
1t will thus be seen that society
makes no provision for working peo-
pie TO be other than as the dumb
beasts OF burden; and it is because
some workingmen refuse to remain

business. A large number of invest
Ors from Salt Lake have visited the
property during the week, and all
are enthusiastic over it's present APP
pearance and future possibilities.
c. d. Ray, a well known mining
operator and engineer of Salt Lake,
is temporarily in charge. and was an
Ely visitor during the week, and re-
ports that three leases have already
been let on the property, upon all
of which work has already been
commenced. One lease was let to Il.

ty. another to o. Smith, a promi-
nent mining man also of Salt Lake.
and the third to residents of the dis
trict. all of whom are financially able
to go to the deep.
The management has started a
main working shaft, which is now
going down at the rate of five feet
a day on the vein. which shows an
average value of $500 per ton, &C
cording to the report of Mr.. Ray.
The vein has been stripped for =
distance of 800 feet. showing free
gold for the entire distance. The
management is now financially back
ed for a campaign of development
and will soon be employing con-
siderable force of men in the devel-
opment of it's property,-Ely Record.

GOOD RETURNS FROM
PLACER OPERATIONS

General Manager r. H. Ernest OF
the Round Mountain Mining company
returned this morning from a six
weeks outing, two being spent in
Los Angeles and the balance of the
time in San Francisco. He is great
~ pleased with the progress of the
work during his absence. The mine
and mill are yielding a pleasing
Profit each month, while the placer
operations are resulting in greater
profit than was hoped for when the
work was inaugurated.
The first cleanup from the boxes
was made on Aug. 2, after the giants
had been working since July 10. The
gold recovered on the rifles amount
ed to about $4,000. This was a
very pleasing recovery, inasmuch as
the gold that remains on bedrock is
estimated to be between so and so
per cent of that in the gravel. The
hydraulicking will be continued as
late in the season as the supply of
water permits, after which the bed
rock will be skinned and the gold
thereon cleaned up.-BOnanZa.

PROPERTY TAKEN
BY PITTMAN AND BRADY

The Pamlico Placer company is the
name of a corporation which has been
organized by Senator Key Pittman
and S. III. Brady to take over AMI
work the recently discovered placer
claims in Hawthorne district.
Messrs. Burns, Blackburn and
Schumacher have turned over a group
of six claims to the new company for
$40, 900, $4,000 of which is to be
paid Sept. l and the balance from the
earnings of the company. THE group
is situated at the junction of the
Pamlico and the Neversweat canyon,
about nine miles southeast of Haw-
thorne.
Mr.. Pittman is enthusiastic about
the outlook in the Pamlico district.
He states that the newly organized
company will at once start opera
tions on a large scale. They are
now taking steps to increase the
water supply, and will install a
hoist, ore bins and washing plant.
Three shifts will be put to work in
the mine, which will be worked at
an approximate depth of 200 feet,
and it is stated that about so men
will be employed.
Mr.. Pittman has had a great deal

CHICAGO BEAUTY IS
ANXIOUS TO MARRY

A lovely but lonely young lady.
only twenty years of age, who ad-
mits that she won a Chicago news
paper beauty contest last winter,
confesses that she has a happy dis
position among her many other de-
sirable domestic qualities, has arrived
at that important conclusion which
should enter into every young lady's
life, namely, that she is willing to be
married.
With a desire to attain that OBJ
ject she has written a letter to
Mayor Macdonald of Carson City in
which she states frankly that she
desires to m with one SINH
larly inclined. Had she not men
toned that she once copied a beauty
contest, the natural inference would
be that competition in the east is
very keen, but this statement de-
molishes the theory and it must be
taken as a f%oregone conclusion that
she would make a very desirable
mate.
Tradition has it that the young
men of Carson City are characteristic
of the snail and in view of the fact
that she has not limited the area of
her domain for conquest it might be
well for somebody here to-er-
take a chance. She enumerates the
qualities she would desire in her
prospective" but doubtless might
waive a point or two if it came to a
pinch. Her letter follows:
