including the Press, need all they can
get these days of H. C. of L., but
what we are trying to get at is this:
the Hamilton Daily News is continu-
ally taking wallops at everything per-
tanning to unionism, organization and
collective bargaining where the work
ingman is concerned, claiming that un-
ionism and collective bargaining in
terfere1 with individual rights, yet,
where is there to be found a stronger
demonstration of collective bargain
ing then these two newspapers get
ting together and fixing rates that
you must pay. No pay no newspaper
aud no pay, no space. This is simply
unionism under another name and in
a ulllSESuI lOIuls OOISlSCSllSy IhOu
art a jewel.

Nice chance for a rail splitter or a
driver of mules on a towpath or any
other poor devil becoming president
of the United States these days when
it costs $1,OO0,O00 dollars just to get
into the United States senate. That
is what it is now claimed it cost to
put Senator Newberry over the plate
in Michigan last fall against Henry
| Ford.

Let the government show up the
enormous profits of the coal mine
owners and it will not take long until
the coal strike is settled. The profits
that were gouged out of the people
are something startling and there will
be no exposure of it if the coal own
ers can prevent it. Get it out of your
head that the miner got all the money
out of the war profits. The first
week of the strike the coal owners
published articles that it would only
be few days and the miner would
have to go to work because he had
very little money to live on. They
know how the miners were compelled
to deal at the company's store and
how he lived in the company's shack
Let us have a government report or
the coal miners profits and the Goa
mine owners profits.

If TIE government owned and con
: trolled the coal mines and operated
; them on the same system that it doe
: the post office, the miners would ge
better pay and enough cars to fill AM
: the people would get the coal at one
half the present price. Everybod,
t pays the same for two-cent postag
e stamp. Why not for ccal?
