STRIKE OF Miners
WILL Be CALLED
In West Virginia Unless Relief From
Hired Gun Men Is
Given,

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Aug. 3d.
President Keeney of district No. II,
United Mine Workers, has wired
Washington officials that unless
miners are given immediate relief
from the despotic action of the coal
company and hired gunner at Bower
a statewide strike Of miners will be
called. It is declared that a contin-
uance of the gunner means another
Cabin Creek and Paint Creek episode
of a few years ago, which was de-
nounced by a committee appointed by
the United States senate.
Miners at Bower are on strike to
improve conditions, and thu West Vir-
ginia Federationist declares that the
brazenness of the coal company "sur-
passes anything before attempted and
reflects a depravity never suspected"
The company has invoked the
vagrancy act, passed b. the last legis-
lature to round up idlers because of
the war. When this failed it began
eviction proceedings against those
miners on strike who live in company
houses. The miners didn't move fast
enough and a posse Of company thugs
tore the roofs from the cabins and
left women and children exposed to
the elements.

THE CREED OF THE KN0CKER

Il believe that nothing is right.
believe that I alone have the right
ideas. The town is wrong, the editor
is wrong, the teachers are wrong, the
people are wrong, the things they do
are wrong and they are doing them in
the wrong way anyhow. I believe I
could fix things if they would let me.
If they don't I will get lot of other
fellows like myself and we will have
law passed to make others do things
the way we want them done. I do
not believe that the town ought to
grow: It is too big now. T believe
in fighting every public improvement
and spelling everybody's pleasure. I
am always to the front in opposing
things and never yet advanced an idea
or supported a movement that would
make the people happier or add to
the pleasure OF man, woman or child.
l. am opposed to fun and am happiest
when at funeral. believe in start
Ing reforms that will take the joy out
OF life. It's sad world and / am
glad of it. Amen''

THOSE UNREASON.
ABLE RUSSIANS

You know our returned commission
to Russia reported that it was neces-
sary for the United States to convince
Russia that this country is really and
truly fighting for democracy.
For some unaccountable reason the
Russians seem to doubt this. They
have, by some stupendous blunder Of
logic, got the idea. that Pierpont Nor
gan and the other big capitalists of
the United States are in the war for
selfish reasons: They don't seem to
understand that our rich men are
holy, if not sanctified, and that their
sole reason for urging the nation into
war against it's will, and keeping it in
war against it's WILL is because of their
deep love for democracy.
But these unreasonable Russians will
no longer be able to doubt. An Incl
dent has happened in the capital city
Of our nation, right under the nose of
the president and all the other noble
advocates of democracy who are in
charge of the war, which will dispel all
their misgivings.
The Russians. realizing that women
are human beings, tried to express
their appreciation of this fact by
merely giving the women the right to
vote on an equality with the men. They
contented themselves with this slight
evidence of appreciation.
But our magnificent republic-com-
pared with whose unwavering liberty
and democracy the new Russian re-
public is a tom cat compared with
a Durham bull-has shown itself
again able to far outstrip it's youthful
neighbor.
We didn't bother about giving
women the ballot
What does the ballot amount to?
We gave them something better than
the ballot.
We know hat woman's place is in
the home, bending over the cook stove
S, owhen she was about to sally forth
IN order to display her suffrage ban
ners before our glorious temple of
treedom-the white house-we gath
cred around her headquarters in large
ana enthusiastic numbers and insisted
mat 1t wasn't necessary. We brought
! ladders and climbed up and gently re-
moved her suffrage banners. When
she appeared with more banners, we
lovingly tossed a good quantity of eggs
ana tomatoes. at her-knowing. as
aforesaid, that; her place is bending
over the cook stove and that she likes
tomatoes and eggs. =. -, ).
we even went, to the trouble to-
scramble the eggs for her; - :;
ana when she went ahead and car
rled her banner anyhow, we gave her
nice little drag through the mud.
Thus we have shown our undvinr
loVe Tor democracy, and those I'M
easonable Russians will now please
be Observation-Disclosures,

THE AMERICAN
WORKNGMAN

BY REV. CHARLES STELZLE

He may ive in tenement, but he
Is the backbone of this republic. He
is the most highly skilled artisan in
the world. 1t is because of this that
we are the most prosperous nation
learned the lesson earlier than any
other nation, that no people can ad-
vance unle they take With them the
common, everyday man. Further
more, America learned the lesson
sooner than any other nation, that
th> prosperity of the whole people
depends upon the prosperity of the
Workingnl@n. He ha, not received
all to which he is entitled. Any man
would be fool to say that the pres
ent social system is ideal, in any
land. But the labor movement is
rapidly bringing in the day when the
workil gman shall come to his own.
aThe American workingman is an
dependent, free-act.ng citizen. Amy
man, be he labor-leader or politician,
. labor-leader and politician, who
says that-he carries in his vest pocket
the vote Of the American working
man is lying. If he really believes
it, he is fool When the American
workingman does follow leader, it
is because that leader has made
good, or because the principles '. hich
h. is advL eating. appeal to tho work.
ingman's good sense. The American
WorkinSman claims the right to pro-
test against any condition which he
believes is against the interest of the
people. He fought long for religious
6PnOcracv He fO1lphf hard for NO..
litical democracy. He is going to win
the fight for industrial democracy.
The American Workingman has so
long breathed the air of democracy,
that he hates patronage or paternal-
ism. While he appreciates a clean
shop and pure air, he despises the
splutter some folks are making about
social welfare work. All he asks is
a square deal, then he will not need
most of these benevolent enterprises.
The American werkingman is not
a laWless revolutionist. Anarchy CT
the mountaineering type does not ap-
peal to him. He is demanding that
the women folks shall receive equal
pay for equal work. He is the cham
pon of little children in his fight
against child labor. The American
workingman is helping to American
ize the immigrant. No other insti-
tuition is doing more in this respect
than American labor unions. He is
breaking down antagonisms that
separate men of different religious
creeds. He is obliterating the color
line. He is fighting for universal
brotherhood.

TAX ON, WAR PROFITS

1t is a part Of the history of all
wars that wealth has demanded
the minimum of taxation and the
maximum Of loans.
Wealth has never yet sacrificed
Itself Oh the altar Of patriotism in
any war. On the contrary, 1T has
ever shown itself eager to take ad-
vantage of the misfortunes which
war brings to the masses of the
people.
Every bond that is issued must
sometime be redeemed with inter-
est out of taxes that the people
must pay.
Paying for "a WAY mainly by SELL
ing bonds inevitably causes infla-
ton. Initiation raises prices, great
~ increasing the cost of lisIns: for
the masses. There Is no escape
from this result.
We have open to us a field of
taxation in war Profits and excess
sive Incomes, the Justice of taxing
which ail must admit.
Leading economists Of the world
argue that upon principle, for the
good OF the government itself, for
the sOundnesS of its financial pol
icy, the war should be paid for as
we go forward in its prosecution.
Wealth is even potential In gov
eminent. Wealth fattens
upon lvar lGnns and war contracts
and the speculatfons with which
war Is always rife. Hence wealth
Is always for war.
MIR. president, blind is the man,
dull, indeed, the brain, that does
not read from the war histories Of
Ina, world tho f0of TINT n to-
wealth has been behind the wars
and has been potential enough -
to make the prosecution Of
the war n financial harvest to it.
Sir, that is WAY the world has had
so many wars.
