Low WAGES FOR Miners
REDUCING man power

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-At a
meeting of officers Of the United
Mine Workers of America, district
presidents and secretaries, Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield refused the
request Of these workers for wage
increases and said that if the miners
and coal operators agreed on wage
increases he would veto it.
The miners then prepared state
ment of their position and forwarded
same to the fuel administrator.
again and again." say the min
ers, 1--WE will come to you on behalf
of the miners"
Present mining. conditions have
been intensified by the fuel admin
istrator's abolition ofsthe bonus sys-
tenn. The miners are not favora BILE
to this system, but thew show that
their wages have been reduced, the
cost of living has steadily increased,
and the prices Of shoes, food, CLOTH
ing, rent, ETC., have gone higher
and higher to a. degree unforeseen
and unexpected when the present
agreement was consumated" In the
anthracite region, especially thous-
ands are not getting a wage suf-
ficient to guarantee a decent living,
it is stated. =.
The anthracite district has lost
10000 miners through the draft. en-
listments and by inducements offered
in other industries.
Shall the present inefficient force
be further depleted?" the miners
ask. THE mine workers will not
remain if they are not paid a decent
living wage"

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-The
committee on social justice Of the
Society of the Companions of the
HolSsssGrdsttAfn the Protestant Epis-
copa1 Church of America has for
warded to President Wilson this
plea: for Thomas J::Mooney:
'We, the undersigned, beg to ex-
press our deep appreciation of
your efforts toward, the attainment
of justice in the case Of Thomas J.
Mooney. In view of the disap-
pointing failure of a constituted le-
gal authority, by the denial of
new trial to rectify the perversion
of justice in the condemnation OF
Mooney to death by testimony ad-
mittedly perjured, and remember
ing the danger at this critical time
of compromising the testimony of
America before the international
mind as we'll as of embittering la
Dor, we respectfully urge upon you
the continuance of your interven-
ton in the interest Of equity in this
case."

On the :12th day Of March, 1s17,
a conference Of The Representatives
of all national and International
unions in the United States was held
in the American Federation of Labor
building in Washington, p. c.. nearly
a month before we formally entered
the war. A document, the most his
toric document ever written by the
workers, in my opinion, was, after a
full days discussion, unanimously
adopted outlining labor's position, in
peace or in war.
Workmes1 Fully, Understand.
By~and- through this: expression, the
organized workers of America showed
the world what the true concept Of
democracy must: be, that they fully
understood the. underlying causes of
this world upheaval, and knowing
the cause, they knew the cure. BY
this timely action, the organized la
Dor movement of our country was in

in the cause of human freedom.
We know that no people in the
world have more at stake than have
the men and women who do the useful
work of the world, and we are willing
to be Judged now and when victory
is achieved, not alone by our spoken
and written expression, but by our

AMERICAN LABOR HAS ITS HEART,
BRAIN AND MUSCLE IN This WAR
By CHESTER Nj. WRIGHT
(Of the American Alliance for Labor and Democr acy)

Labors work for war in the United States

1t has been varied as human life.
Labor began its work before the United States
declared the existence Of state of war.
History will record, important event,
meeting OF international trade union officers in the
. American Federation of Labor building at WASH
ington on March -, 1917, in which was adopted a
document entitled "Labor's policy in peace or in
war;"
It needed seer at that time to know that the
United States. must enter the war. And under the
terms of the document adopted on that day it was
made clear to the world that the trade union men
and women of the United States would stand hack
of such conflict with all their skill and will and
might.
The adoption of that document was as inpor-
tant to America as anything labor has done
Two conventions of the American Federation
OF Labor have been held since the entry of our re-
public into the In both of these the declara-
tions have been, "stand by the war to victorious
finish.'
International labor missions have gone their
way over Europe telling American labors message
to the workers in the allied lands: 'Stand bv The
war to a victorious finish"

Allotment Plan Used.
Duluth in this campaign will adopt
the allotment card system, as prac-
ticed throughout the state. Mailing of

letter explaining the allotment sys-
tenn and giving instructions to the SUBJ

bonds of the fourth Liberty loan will
be 10 per cent instead of per cent

mittee from A. r. Rogers, chairman
of the Ninth Federal Reserve dis
trict.
Five payment dates are required for
settlement of subscriptions to the
fourth loan. Following the initial
payment of 10 per cent, 20 per cen,

Never has the United States known so little in

To do his best he feels that he is entitled the

fight he has made since war began has been to get
the proper conditions under which to do his best
work for America The industrial fights of today
for the most part are fights for America, and not
merely fights to get better wages for the sake of
better wages. The workman knows that America
needs his best effort and he wants those cond-
tons that will give him the opportunity to give his
best effort

union men, popular for reasons quite
foreign to industrial issues, would

GERS Of the machinists shared the
anxiety of their members in Bridge
port, but they urged the men to stay
at, work and to wait and see whether
their fears of a reactionary set of
committees were justified. The men
refused to wait and see. They de-
clared Eidlitz had been unfriendly to
union labor and had violated the
spirit Of the Presidents proclamation
of April 8. They pointed to the fact
that Eidlitz had lobbied at Albany

Presidents Ultimatum.
President Wilson did not issue his
ultimatum until the general execu-

the Bridgeport strikers 4S hours In
which to so back to work or stand

within the 4S hours. but the Presi-
dents letter was published within that
time, and the strikers had agreed
that they would go back if the Presi-
dent asked them to do so.
Johnston and the other interna-

that shop committees of unorga nize d

good a showing against the bosses III

PHYSICIANS NOTICE.

Since the beginning Of the present
war in 1914, almost every article that is
used has advanced in price. Drugs and
physicians supplies were the first to feel
the advance, as we were dependent on
the importation of many of the drugs
and instruments from Germany. Now
most all of the drugs and instruments
are being manufactured in this country,
but owing to the increase in the cost Of
labor and materials, the prices remain
high. With the increase in cost of do
ing business, it is therefore necessary
for my own protection to make an in
crease in the price Of outside visits.
The new schedule to go into effect on
the fifteenth of this month. $500 a
visit within q radius of one mile from
the center of the town and fifty cents
for each additional mile, with further
increase for calls coming in after eight
o'clock in the evening and before seven
in the morning. 6-lO-3t

She held the fate Of kingdoms in her
hand.
She was only a will-of- the-wisp girl,
a bespangIed cashier in q cafe on the
Fradco-G German border. But she was
destined for bigger things.
Fate took her from her tiny world Of
humdrum and threw her into whirl-
pool of government intrigue and diplo-
macy. The hearts. hopes and lives Of
hundreds were with her.
But her master-a big, tawny blus-
tering brute of a man-mistreated her.
Naturally she found a haven in the
friendship of strangers, and meeting an
artist who sees in her eyes soul as
clean as q flame, she trusts him.
Big events come thick and fast The
flavor and glamor of the war, its rom
ances, feeling, and hidden secrets are
woven into a pulsating film, gripping in
its force, and dramatically built up to
maintain high powered suspense.
