Republican Congressional Committee,

that they have repudiated the party
which fooled them four years ago by
speciously promising to KEEP them out
of war todward which we were newt
ably ending With tremendous MAORI
ties they have supported the Repub-
lican party, which put the suffrage
amendment through both houses of
Congress and provided ratification by
thirty of the thirty-siX state legisa-
lures. And at the same time they
proved themselves above any petty
spite toward individuals who had con-
scientiously opposed the suffrage
amendment in Congress, as indicated
by the great majorities rolled up for
Senator Wadsworth, of New York, and
Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, in
the primaries.
Another assurance of Republican
success lies in the fact that the Repub-
lican primary vote is about double the
Democratic primary vote. Thus in
Illinois it is about three to one, in New
York about two to one and in Ohio
more than two to one.

Condemns Mob Rule

Jackson, Miss.-The mobbing of c.
H. Franck, trade union organizer, and
his companion when the two men at
tempted to hold trade union meet
ing at Sumrall, has aroused Governor
Russell, who has called upon the Of
ficers of that town to punish the
guilty.
In stinging letter the governor
shows that he is an American, through
and through, and is against mobbery
regardless who perpetrates it.
"Things have come to a pretty pass
in this grand old state" he writes,
"when citizens upon a perfectly law
full mission must be insulted, assault
ed and maltreated as these gentlemen
were.
''It is a piece of gangsterism, thug
gerry and outlawry that will not be
tolerated in this state and | am call
ing upon each of you gentlemen, as
citizens and officials, to make prompt
investigation of this outrage against
these citizens and the laws of this
state and make report to me at this
office.
"The law of this state must be en-
forced and the rights of every citizen
protected"

VOTE FOR FRIENDS OF LABOR

Is the congress of the United States
representative assembly? There
are 26O lawyers seated there. The
bankers are generously represented,
and as are the packers and the food
gamblers. The steel trust, the sugar
trust, the lumber trust, the mine
owners, are more than adequately
represented.
For two years the people have been
vainly demanding remedial legisla.
tion and protection against shameless
extortion, but to date not one really
constructive act has been approved
by the national legislature. Many
bills have been introduced in the in
terest of the various large combina-
tions of capital, and it is never diff
cult for the powerful financial group
to secure a respective hearing.
Capital gets consideration because
it has sent its representatives to the
law-making body. The people do not
get hearing because they have not
more than a score of representatives
who are consistently loyal to their
interests.
Recognition of the utter hopeless
ness of getting the government back
to the foundation established by the
fathers has inspired a widespread
and growing demand for a more rep
resentative congress, and the domina-
ting thought of the day is that if we
are to be real democracy the work
ers and the farmers must control the
government.
Those who produce the wealth that
enables the lawyers, the bankers, the
trust baroLs and the mine operators
to go to congress are inadequately
represented. And here is to be found
the serious defect in our system and
the real cause of the multiplying ills
that affiict the nation.
These are among the reasons why
working people of this country should
support the non-partisan policy of
the American Federation of Labor
and place in congress and our legis-
latures men who will better serve the
people interested and give protection
to the wage earners, who constitute
the producing element that is the
very foundation of national pros
perity.-Intern. Steam Engineer.

NEW LINCOLN STORY

A recent visitor to an old lady in
Springfield, ILL.,, who knew Lincoln
we'll, was told this story of the great
martyr President.
On one of his fiat boat trips down
the Ohio River, Lincoln found the
other boatmen with him to be rough
drinking lot. They planned to go
ashore and celebrate" at the first
town approached, and urged young
Abe to go with them. Lincoln re-
fused to be induced to join them, in
spite of taunts and gibes. They called
him SISSY" and preacher" and other
epithets, but Abe only smiled and
said he was responsible with them for
the cargo, which belonged to another
man. The men went ashore and spent
the night in the saloon while Lincoln
watched the raft.
In the morning the men came
aboard, rolling before them barrel
of whiskey. Young Lincoln then
said. "You call me sissy and
'molly-coddle,' but I'll stump you to
lift up the keg and drink from the
bunghole." They couldn't very we'll
back out and so each one tried to lift
the keg to. his mouth, but in vain.
Then the young giant, Lincoln,
grasped the keg by either rim and
slowly muscled it up to his knees,
then to his chest, and then with
mighty shove up over his head until
the bunghole was above his mouth.
He didn't drink a drop, but with
mighty heave tossed the keg over
board.

ALL SHOULD REGISTER

Washington-In a circular to the
officials of organized labor, the A.
F. of L. national non-partisan polit-
ical campaign committee says:
"We urge the men and women of
labor to permit no other duty to keep
them from being the first to register.
Further, we urge the organizations
of labor to appoint committees to
canvass their members with the pur-
pose of having every worker enrolled
on the registration books. AS an aid
to this we shall supply without cost
the register cards herewith in guam
titles to meet the needs of your or
ganization.
"The cause of justice, the prin-
ciples of democracy, the liberties Of
the people must be upheld at the bal
lot box by the people themselves.
Organized labor, true to its traditions
and it's purposes, calls upon the NIL
lions of members to make gre;.+.
sacrifices rather than to lose the
chance to vote in this election

LABOR FAVORS EDUCATION

Washington = "No one agency"
says the press service of the federal
board for vocational education, "has
had so great an influence in perfect
ing educational laws as the A. F. of
L., which sponsored the original free
public school system, the vocational
educational law, and the compulsory
part-time school law, all of which
directly affect the industrial and COM
mercial progress of the nation. The
annual conventions of the Federation
always record its position on pro-
posed progressive educational meas
ures."
The federal board expressed it's ap-
probation of organized labor's sup
port of the boards efforts to estab-
lish vocational training schools, and
to rehabilitate ex-service men and
those injured in industrial pursuits
that these injured workers may again
become wage earners rather than de-
pendents on society.

What Miners Want
u. S. SOLDIERS CHECK COAL
OWNERS GUNMEN
Government Should Institute Search
ing Inquiry Into Conditions
in West Virginia

Clarksburg, w. Va.-"The sending
of troops in West Virginia, where
coal miners are making stand
against the persistent and brutal
tyrany of coal owners" says the West
Virginia Labor News, "is just what
the workers have been demanding for
months. They have made several ap-
peals to the federal government to
send soldiers here to re-establish con-
stitutional guarantees and check the
encroachments of the employers upon
the rights of the citizenship.
"In certain sections of West Vir-
ginia the coal owners have been rul-
ing with mob law. They have main
tanned gangs of cutthroats who have
invaded the lives and the properties
of every man and woman who re-
fused to accept their will as the SUI
preme authority.
"The government should do more
than send it's troops into the disaffect-
sweeping inquiry into the methods
of the employers. 1t should insist
that the laws and constitution of the
state be respected. 1t should make
an end, for all time, of the system
of coercion and oppression that has
enabled the West Virginia coal own
ers to maintain a state of feudalism
and to deny to Americans the right
that Americans elsewhere possess
without question or hindrance.
"West Virginia is fostering sore
and contains enough of menace to
justify all the attention the govern
ment can give it.
"It is high time that We know
whether group of cold-blooded and
inhuman mercenaries are more power
full than the government of this ma
tion. That is the issue in West Vir-
ginia."

The War Is Over
LABOR ASKS THE RELEASE OF
POLITICAL PRISONERS
President GOmpers and Other Labor
Representatives Meet With Atty
General Palmer

Washington "Our country has
been at peace, from military stand
point for nearly two years and the re-
lease of all political prisoners will do
much to tranquilize our country and
re-establish normal times"
This declaration was made by
President Gompers in a plea to At
torney General Palmer for a general
amnesty to all political prisoners.
With President Gompers were Vice
Presidents Valentine and Woll and
Secretary Frank Morrison of the A.
r. Of L.; officers of various national
and international unions and the sew
eral A. F. of L. departments and other
trade unionists. The meeting with
the attorney general was in compli-
ance with a resolution adopted by the
last convention of the A. F. of L.,
which unanimously declared for an
amnesty.
President Gompers said the unan-
imous adoption of this resolution was
remarkable because no group of citi-
zens were more loyal than the organ
lied wage workers. He called atten-
tlon to labor's declaration of loyalty
In the event of war made three weeks

British UniOniStS
Behind Coal Miners

London, England-Demands of the
British Miners Federation for higher
wages and lower prices for household
coal have been refused by the gov
ernment and strike of vast proper
tions is imminent. The miners are
associated with the railway men and
the lockers in what is known as the
triple alliance.
Indirectly connected with this
movement is a demand for national
ization of the mines, which the coal
diggers have vigorously urged for the
past several months. The workers
propose joint control of the industry
by representatives of the state and
persons engaged in the industry.
The direct demands are wage in
creases and lower prices for coal used
by householders.
Housing conditions in the mining
distritcs are also involved. The miners
say that the government has made
numerous promises that these condi-
tions would be improved. In a recent
speech President Smillie of the
Miners Federation said:
"It has been proved up to the hilt
that children in many mining dis
tricts have been done to death owing
to bad houses and insanitary condi-
tions, while generally the death rate
of children in these districts is very
high"
The trade union executive declared
that this question ought not to be
settled by the power or the ability of
the government to beat the miners,
or by the ability of the miners to beat
the government, but it should be de-
cided on the justice of the claim put
forward by the miners.
