:S7.,I.PAUL UNIONS
DRAFT MAHoNEY.
Decide by Big Vote President Of
Trade and Labor Assembly
as.Candldate for Mayor.

William Mahoney, president Of the:
Minnesota Working Peoples Nonpar-
tisan Political league, has been
drafted by organized labor In st: Paul
to run as a candidate for mayor
against Mayor L. G. Hodgson.
This action was unanimously taken
at a convention of labor delegates
representing every union in the city.
1t also was taken in opposition to
Mr.. Mahoney's wishes to not be a can
didate for any office.
After he was drafted he refused to
give his consent to the proposition that
labor needed him as their candidate
to lead "clean up" campaign in st.
Paul and secure city administration
that would produce a record Of hav-
Ing done something for the benefit
of the masses of the people.
AS a result of his refusal to get into
the mayoralty race at this time and
then the refusal of labor to accept
his decision, he was given a weeks
time in which. to decide upon the
course he will take. He will make
known his decision in letter to
Frank~ Pampusch. chairman Of the
working peoples league.
The general belief in labor circles
Is. that Mr.. Mahoney will have to be
a candidate in view Of the overwhelm-
Ing demand on the part of labor that
he head their ticket in the st. Paul
campaign, although personally he is
muct opposed to the idea of seeking:
any office for himself. -.
He has recently stated that he is in
politics to bring about good govern
ment and not for the purpose of get
ting an office. In fact to accept the
mayoralty would be a personal sacri-
flee to him as he is superintendent of
the Randall Printing company in st.
Paul and would have to give up his
position. He is also president of the
st. Paul Trades and Labor assembly.
The situation in st. Paul, which has
brought labor into politics as an or
ganized body and now resulted in the
drafting of Mr.. Mahoney as a may
orally candidate. is one that will at
tract statewide and likely still wider
attention as the campaign advances.

LOADS COAL FOR
SIX RED APPLES
Kentucky Miners Get so Cents
a Ton, Price Of Just Six
Eve Iempters.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. a.
According to information received at
the headquarters of the United Mine
Workers, in this city, there are some
fine openings in Kentucky for men
who are willing to load coal in the
mines and accept six apples as their
pay for shoveling and loading ton.
A miner at Worley,. KY, has writ
ten letter to the United Mine Work.
ers Journal in which he describes
the conditions under which coal
miners work in that field. He also
has som ething to say about the peo-
pie who believe that the miners re-
ceive enormous pay for their work in
the mines. This piece Of fiction has
been industriously circulated. over the
country in the last several months
ever since the controversy started over
the demand Of the miners for in
creased wages to meet the high cost
Of living. The miner says all of the
talk about the, high wages" of the
miners is untrue; and he points to
conditions. at Worley to prove it. In
his letter he says:
"Apples sell at three for a. quarter
In Worley-three apples for twenty
five cents. We get fifty cents q ton
for loading coal in the mines. Would
any of those who howl that the miner
is making too much money be willing
to come down here and load a ton Of
coal for six red apples?"
This miner: states the case in q
plain but homely way that any per-
son may understand. People who live
in cities and the larger towns are ia
miliar with the high price of apples,
and they will quickly appreciate his
point. He says that the cost :of all
articles of. food and other necessaries
which the miners must buy are pro-
portionately as high. This brings out
the fact as stated at the headquar-
tiers Of the United Mine Workers, that
the cost of living is higher in mining
communities than anywhere else in
the country. This is due to,>the, fact
that the majority OF coal mines are
located in isolated places, far from
any market where the miner might
buy his supplies. Usually there are
out one or two stores in a mining
camp, and one or both are owned by
the coal company, which charges any
price the company sees fit to charge
Miners say that If the general public
understood the prices which they are
forced to pay for food and other sup
plies the public would soon see the
reason why the miners are asking for
an increase in wages.
