DISASTROUS FIRE ON WEST
MAIN STREET

An alarm, sounded just as the town
clock was striking midnight Wednes-
day, called the entire department to
what proved to be serious fire in the
old Music Hall building on West Main
street, which for some time has been
occupied by George H. Long as gen
elal store, and which was filled from
attic to cellar with all manner of
merchandise. The fire originated
from unknown causes, and had gained
considerable headway before it was
discovered, and but for the heroic eff
forts of the fremen would probably
have cleaned out the entire block. AS
it was the Music Hall and the Rider
building, occupied by the Schaus Co.
and the Odd Fellows, were practically
destroyed. Several heavy explosions
in the Long store spread the flames
and much difficulty was experienced
in saving the rear end of the Advocate
building. Both buildings and the
stock of the occupants were insured,
but the loss sustained and insurance
carried has not yet been ascertained.
Carpenters Local No. 1876 occupied the
Odd Fellows hall, and for the time
being are homeless. One unfair bar
Der shop was also put on the hummer.

MINERS DON'T AVERAGE 6-HOUR
WORK-DAY NOW

''If the miners could reach the great
mass of our citizens and explain their
six-hour day demand, opposition to
this proposal would disappear" said
Edgar Wallace, representative of the
United Mine Workers.
"The coal miners" said the trade
unionist, "can show by the United
States geological survey that they
have not averaged hours a day for
II years. Reports by this Govern
ment bureau show that since 1902
the miner has worked from $50 to
228 days year. The latter figure
applies to 1913 when, under war
stress, the mines were operated more
regular and the men received 228
days employment. Their average
yearly employment since 1902 is 206
days.
What the miners are really asking
is not a reduction of hours, but a
guarantee that they will have work
five days a week throughout the
year"

QUIET SESSION THIS WEEK

No sensational features or spread

sion Of the city fathers, most of the
legislation being of a negative nature.

down, because the city can't pay the
present rate and now owes the boys
nearly two months wages. The health

over $500 was knocked out by a vote

increase on account of the ever in
creasing h. c. l., got lost in the
shuttle. The council chamber and the
quarters in the city building
were turned over to the incoming

session.

ment, instead of the Government de-
vising measures to reduce it."
He, who does not expect anything
will not be disappointed. The labor
leaders, with Samuel Gompers at the
head, looked to the times of peace
with great expectations. Their hopes
were justified and their disappoint-
ment now is so much the greater
During the war labor generously and
faithfully worked hand in hand with
the Government
The peace came-and destroyed all
the hopes the workers had built on t.
The workers presented their demands
which, owing to the influence of con-
servative leaders, were as moderate
as possible. The employers fatty
declined to consider them and even
rejected the proposal to adjust diff
ferences by arbitration. The workers
then expected something from the fiat
of the Government, and this fiat came
and was-against the workers. 1t
denied the workers the use of the
only legal weapon at their command,
the strike This action was based on
the Lever law, and that is the action,
upon which Samuel Gompers bases
his charges of treachery to the work
ers, for shortly before the Lever law
was adopted Senator Husting said in
the Senate: 81 have been authorized
by Secretary of Labor Wilson to make
the declaration that the Government.
does not construe this law as forbid
ding strikes and peaceful picketing
and will never construe it in that
sense, and also that the Department
of Justice will not later on so CON
strue it,"
Now the labor leaders and workers
are standing disappointed and cha
grined facing the fact of a strike in
junction. They are fretting at their
credulity and their anger grows to
hatred and resentment. If the most
conservative of all conservative labor
leaders, if a man like Samuel Com
pers comes out as a radical accuser,
what will be the effect of the anti
labor attitude of the Government on
the more radical broad masses of the
workers? IL don't know where this
will lead to-" says Gompers. "One of
two things are bound to happen:
either the workers will become slaves
OF they must themselves find the
means to prevent it. I have the un-
wavering faith that the means will be
found" Attorney-General Palmer,
who is so active in trying to check
the spread of bolshevism in this coun-
try, should pause a moment and con-
slider, whether his labor policy tends
to reduce or increase the number Of
radicals. He should not resort to
such measures as make it difficult for
the workers to find the means for a
peaceful solution, for all of us-and
evidently Mr.. Palmer also-hopes for
a peaceful solution.

ASSOCIATION
SAMUEL GOMPERs AS ACCUsER

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, open
ly accused the Government of double
crossing the workers; of using its
power in the interest of the capital
lists, and of placing the workers in
fetters and driving them to slavery.
If Gompers ever told the truth and
expressed the views of the organized
as we'll as unorganized workers of
this country he did when he made the
above accusation. Even the most
backward and conservative workers
must gradually come to the conclu
sion that the Government has of late
assumed a very one-sided attitude in
the disputes and struggles between
organized capital and organized la
Dor, and that the charges of President
Gompers are more than justified. The
views, expressed by President Com
pers, are concurred in by millions of
those belonging to the middle class
standing between capital and labor.
There can be no question but that the
stand of the Government taken to-
ward the workers during the past
months, the one-sided partisan stand
on behalf Of the interests Of capital
and the undemocratic, liberty crush
ing legislation of Congress have con-
tributed largely toward bringing
about the unrest now sweeping over
the country and have seriously shaken
the confidence Of the masses in the
Government. Even the most con-
servative elements in the labor move
ment are coming to the conclusion
that the prosecution of the so-called
radicals is nothing else than a ruse
to strike a blow at the entire trade
union movement, which, if they can
not destroy it, they at least hope to
cripple it to such an extent that it
will no longer be able to accomplish |
anything. We must not be fooled by |
what they say, we must be guided by |
what they are aiming at.
"The American Federation of La
Dor has from the start pursued a con-
structive policy and has endeavored |
to improve the lot of the workers."
says President Gompers in his state
ment. Our policy has not been car
ried on secretly, it has always been
open and honest. Our patriotism and
our loyalty have never been doubted.
During the entire period of the war
the workers have done their share
without questioning, actuated by the
thought that they were working for
the freedom of the human race. Now,
after the war is over, we find that we
not only have no more liberty than
we had before the war, but that the
liberty, which the workers enjoyed be-
fore the war, has actually been taken
away from them. We find that the
Government is using it's power in
favor of one party as against another.
The workers are fettered and con-
lemned to slavery; the restlessness
the country is increased
through the action of the Govern
