THE WHEEL1NG METHoD

Take lesson from Wheeling, West
Virginia.
Augustus Pollack, cigar manufac-
turer, tried to be fair and just in his
dealings with his employees.
Did the workers appreciate him?
They started out to raise fund to
erect a monument to his memory.
They refused to allow an employer
to contribute one penny and they limit
ed all contributions to one dollar or
less
A short time ago they uneviled that
monument.
Thousands of men and women march
ed in a pouring rain to the cemetery to
show their respect for this man.
Business representatives ana others
Of union labor told Of Mr.. Pollack's
good work.
They had no reason to do so-other
than a desire to be fair to one who
had tried to tighten the burdens OF
those, who were put in the opposite
army Of this Industrial system.
Change your tactics. officers Of the

Court Finds Rockefeller Guilty

stolen offices to their Democratic op-
ponents.
The same Infamous and fraudulent

Farr his bogus election also swelled
the plurality of Carlson, the coal com
pany Governor now in Office. But be-
cause the case at bar concerned only
the result in Huerfano county, Carlson
is left undisturbed.
The decision and opinion just handed
down by the Colorado Supreme court
constitutes an amazing expose Of high
handed intimidation, coercion and COR
ruption practised by the Coal Company
and the Republican party. The court
finds that the coal company WAS the
Republican party, and that partys
candidates merely the servile tools used
by the company to rivet the chains of
industrial tyranny on its employees.
The Courts Condemnation.

Pointing out the national Importance
of the case, the Court says:
Many state elections have been de-
termined by a majority plurality. of
fewer votes than here involved. The

THE WORLD BUYS ARMS.

THE WORLD BUYS ARMS.
Export figures discourage all hopes
for peace this year. One glance at the
weekly export list of the port of New
York alone is enough to demonstrate
that not only England, France and
Russia are preparing for a long war,
but that the South American countries
are also piling up immense war sup
plies.
During the week ending June a.,
1915, the war exports to England
amounted to more than $25.OOO,OO0. to
France nearly $12.0O0.000, to Russia ST.
soc, 900, and. to Italy 81, 100000.
| Every week this year has witnessed
the expectation of such quantities of
war materials, and the tide is rising
instead of settling down.
While the exports to the central pow
ers and to the neutral countries sup
plying them have been cut down from
week to week, the exports of war ma
terials to South American countries
have steadily increased.
Argentina Brazil. Chile, Colombia,
Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela, are
gathering metals, machinery. ammuni-
ton, war stores of all kinds from
American factories.
One Of the most significant signs is
the enormous jump in the war exports
to Cuba, Haiti, Panama, and San Do
mingo. Last week Cuba alone received
over $4,000, 900 worth of war supplies.
Although we are on the verge of war
with Mexico, exports from American
ports still list shipments of war sup
puies to that country.
Equally ominous are the export hg-
ures to Japan. From Pacific ports and
from New York via the Panama canal,
a, steady stream of war materials is
pouring into the land of the little yell

that the maintenance Of the expedition

General Funston asserts, is accom-

The circumstances under which Fun

objection TO the retirement OF Perish
