DryS Tell LabOr'S Share

Last week local opons figured that abors share of
the money paid the products of labor 1872 per cent Who
gets the 1873 per cent?
Think this The working gets little less than
of money paid for the product ne produces This
stated emphatcay by local option writers the local
of Iron County
Just why local optionists give this why
working men should vote dry told Mining is the
great industry of Iron County and the mining companies
propose give the bigger share OF what they produce
give them third of what they produce local
option would be good thing and miner ought to vote Tor
it. But mining companies that backing this local
option movement promise any such increase In wages!
1t current report that mining companies
using coercion compel their employees vote for local option
Whether this is true or not the miners themselves Know II
true they do not dare tell they will lose their Jobs IL IS
these mining companies are not only guilty OF nagrant
of the law but robbg their employees OF their con-
stituona rights of free citizenship this is true is bad
example and bodies good this county is this sort OF
preston that brings strikes and dsrepec for the law
by all classes
do be told to do certain thing to be coerc
cd ways than of giving them to under
what's what of letting them know their job hangs upon
certain conditions
One of the ncongrues this campaign is the fact that
while officials of the mining companies insist upon prohibiting
their employees taking glass of beer they retain the right
90 to polished club where ushing is not disgrace
weve orgies may be ndud in and In the morning the
boss will show with head and damn and curse every
empoye the premises But this OF the pubcs bust
This has nothing to do with the welfare OF the employees
Do YOU think for one moment that license clubs of
the silk stocking arisocracy will go of business with their
called locker system Bullets should local option prevail
Never Each member may have his bottle bottles of
just same share with his fellow cubman and
there is no law to prevent him from doing So
hard determine just where andhow and why these
mining companies discriminate and draw the line who and
who shall spend portion of his cent OF what ne
produce portion of the 1872 cent he gets for
producing per Remember these per centages
for the of the mining companies
supporting and they must be correct as the fomants are IN
position to learn the truth,
Now drys have informed the public well on what
portion of the products of labor the aborer receives which is
refreshngy local option campaign they might explain
few things that beyond the comprehension OF
binary who sincere in their belief whether they favor
the vets or drys
it that may property directly or through
agent saloon and times for immoral purposes and
honestly oppose the very things from which they exact an enor
nous profit?
honest righteous and upright promote campaign
deprecate property through local option for the purpose OF
buying the deprecated property at half its value then pro-
campaign abolish local option after 1t has proven
failure and sell the property back to the saloon keepers put out
of business at 100 per cent profit?
Docs such conduct promote good citizenship set an
example worthy emulation by the youth OF Iron County?
