MINERS REJECT BONUS;
GAIN EIGHT HOUR DAY

Charleston, w. Va.--Organized mine
workers in this state have rejected the
operators offer to pay bonuses and have
negotiated contract with the following
gains:
Eight-hour day for nine hours pav
union shop and check-off system; run
of mine; inside day labor, 271l per cent
increase in addition to the nine-hour paw
for cight-hour day; drivers increased
IRON $2.05 for nine hours to $275 for
eight hours; outside day labor, nine
hours pay for eight hours and Is per
cent additional increase.
For the past several months the
miners movement was honey-combed
with operators emissaries who painted
glowing pictures of the bonus system.
When the plan was suggested to Presi-
dent White. that official said:
IF you pay bonus it will be con-
sldered permanent addition to the
wage now paid under the trade agree
ment and will in no manner whatsoever
forestall the efforts of the union to win
increased wages over and above the
bonus paid and improved working con-
ditions when the time comes to negoti-
ate new contract"
The miners union in this state was
never in more fourishing condition.
For years the operators have succeeded
in promoting internal strife, and year
ago the organization was practically de-
stroyed. International officials took
charge of affairs, abolished the district
and ousted from Office the officials who
permitted this condition to develop.
Since then the international has perfect
ed militant movement and has effect
lively exposed the latest disrupting de-
vice-the bonus system.

WANTS A SMOOTH NECK
OFFICER WHO CAN READ

Bridgeport, Conn.-The attempts of
John c. Stanley, president of the board
of police commissioners, to prohibit
trade union meetings and the circulation
of trade union literature. has aroused
the editor of the Bridgeport Farmer, who
stands for constitutional guarantees and
demands that Stanley resign, because
"the business and industrial interests of
Bridgeport need somebody with a
smooth neck who has read the constitu-
ton"
"The foundation of the American sys-
tenn is law" says the editor "Law rests
upon the guarantees of the constitution.
Among these guarantees none is more
precious than the right of free speech
and assemblage, and the right to be safe,
in property and person, from unlawful
attack
"The security of property is threaten
ed by any anarchy which breaks down
respect for law. A dangerous manifes-
tation of contemporary life in Bridge
port is the contempt for the constitu-
tional rights of citizens, exhibited in un-
lawful suppression of the right of pub
lie assemblage, such as the recent re-
fusal to permit body of law-abiding
citizens to express their views in favor
of peace; such as sending a body of uni
formed police menacingly into a peace
full meeting of machinists; such as un-
lawfully seizing the body of a citizen,
because he would not suspend the dis
tribution of weekly newspaper.
$50 have the citizens of Bridgeport
the right to meet to talk over their views
in a lawful manner, and to interfere
with them, when they are lawfully as
sembled, is to insult the constitution and
put anarchy above the law.
"Mr Stanley ought to resign. He is
holding a job for which he is tempera-
mentally untitled. The business and in
dustrial interests of Bridgeport need
somebody with smooth neck, who has
read the constitution"

CAN PROMISES MEET H. G. l..

it understood that eligibles to this bene-
6cence must be continuously in the en-

If these workers would be led from

the case of $2-a-day men, they would
lose their $50 bonus next November

TRUST SUPREME COURT SAYS
WESTERN EDITOR.

Portland, Ore.-"Trust the United
States Supreme Court, even if it did
announce in the Adamson decision, that
Congress has the right to ignore con-
stitutional guarantees in certain cases"
This is the line of reasoning" of the
Oregon Voter, which claims to be a
weekly magazine of citizenship" and
affects radical tone on things of sec
ondary import.
"Henceforth," says this paper, guar
antees written into the constitution may
not be invoked for the protection of
personal rights that conflict with what
legislatures declare to be the public well
fare. The supreme court is conservative
and wise. 1t would not have exalted
legislative power above written consti-
tutional restrictions did it not have
faith in the public as the arbiter of
moral issues. AS citizens of this great
country, it is our duty, individually and
collectively, to justify the faith our
highest court has shown in the Ameri-
can public.
First of all, let us accord to the de-
cision not only the obedience due be-
cause it represents the highest authority
but the more willing respect due to
court which humanzes its interpreta-
tions of written law Americans can
feel patriotic pride in their supreme ju-
dicial tribunal as paramount factor in
harmonizing the diverse interests of
our citizenship and holding our beloved
country together"

II any one had the slightest
notion that our Country would
ever be placed in the slackers
column, the recent "Y" campaign,
in which our quota OF $4,000 was
raised in less than ten days,
should definitely settle the question.
In spite of the fact that prior to
1917 we have had several disas.
trous and unprecedented crop fall
ures in succession, our people re-
sponded promptly and liberallv to
the call Of the national Y M G A

and the College.
Under the circumstance the as.

Men of good sound judgement
aud well informed as to our fin.
ancial state said it was abso
lutely impossible to raise our quota.
Onlya man who could look beyond
the superficial appearance Of things
who could look with the eye of
unfaltering faith into the minds
and hearts of the red blooded citi-
zenry of every nook and coruer
Of Oktibbeha would have under>
taken the leadership OF such task.
That man was found in Mr. M A
Saunders. who, it will te rememb.
cred, had charge Of the Liberty
Loau campaign in the county.
In that campaign, as in this,
Oktibbeha's quota was promptly
realized. 1t took the sacrifice of

those associated with him in the

appeal was made it was responded

that warranted an abiding faith in
