Eight Hours Sufficient

acknowledgements that are
advocating a work day longer than
eight hours for miners are advised
by the United Mine Workers Journal
that there is no economy in shutting
down mines from one to three days a
week and then asking the miners to
work long hours when the mines are
in operation. 1t is stated that in
many places the mines are working
only three or four days a week.

Washington-Labor representatives
from all sections of the country will
meet here Monday, July 20, to ask
President Wilson to take the case of
Thomas J. Mooney out of the Cali
fornia state courts, as war measure.
The delegates will call on President
Wilson to thank him for his efforts
in Moneys behalf and urge that he
continue them.
"a square deal for Tom MONEY!
is the demand that labor speakers
from every part of the United States
will voice at monster open-air mass
meeting to be held at the national
capital on July 20.
This eliminating effort by the
American working class to procure
justice for their fellow workers in
San Francisco has been formally ap-
proved by the Central Labor union
of the District of Columbia, which,
with it's mounting membership Of
$4,000 men and women toilers, will
act as master of ceremonies at the
coming protest against the employing
"black hundreds" of the Pacific coast.
1t is a plan to hold the meeting
late in the afternoon, following a
visit to the White House by large
delegation of workers whose purpose
will be to thank the president for
what he has already done to procure
justice for Mooney, and to urge that
he proceed further and with all speed
to vindicate American justice and
democracy in the eyes of the working
class of countries allied with America
in the great world war.
This delegation will express the
opinion of Moneys friends that the
president is possessed of sufficient
authority in his capacity of COM
mander-in-ch of the army and
navy-to assume jurisdiction in the
case of the prosecuted labor leader,
and, as an act necessary to the win
ming Of the war, place it in the fed
eral courts for a fair and impartial
trial.

Recognize COIOred Labor
NEGRO REGARDED AS INDUS
TRIAL FACTOR
Question Must Be Faced By Organ
ized Labor

Detroit, Mich-The Labor News,
speaking of the negro, calls attention
to the fact that he is now big
factor in the industrial movement,
and must be reckOned with in the
future: 1t says:
"The time has arrived for the
American labor movement to square
ly face the fact that the negro is
big factor in our industrial life, and
that he must be taken into account
in the adjustment of our economic
differences. Never again can the
negro be ignored. Time and time
again, the selfish masters of industry
have used him to batter your organ
izations to pieces, and instead of try
ing to win him over, you have saw
agely fought him, because they used
him as a strikebreaker. But the
of organization to himself, and he
must be incorporated into and made
a part of the great labor movement.
1t is stupid policy to try to keep
him out. Let us work to shift him
from his present unhappy position,
where he is despised by the big bus
mess element, Notwithstanding his
utility as strikebreaker, and hated
by unionists for his loyalty to the
open shop element. Unionism must
welcome the negro to its ranks"
