OPPOSE STOCK SCHEME

Charleston, w Officers of dis
trict No. II, United Mine Workers,
have issued warning against the
scheme of coal owners to sell small
amounts Of stock to their employees
The trade union executives declare
that this is more subtle than the
present policy of using gun men, as
is the case in the Guyan valley field
West Virginia miners are called
upon to ask themselves this question:
Did the company offer to sell me any
stock until after the miners were or
ganized ?" Then why are they so lib
erap now?"
The miners officials charge the coal
owners with resorting to every
scheme imaginable, such as injunc-
tons, prosecution, persecution, lies,
deceit, SANDER, misrepresentation" in
a futile attempt to destroy the miners
union. Now the stock selling scheme
is trotted out.

ANTI-STRIKE LAWS
BASED ON BOLSHEYISM.
"Collectivism Gone Mad,' .
Trade Unionist Says

Washington. - Collectivism gone
mad, with Russian bolshevism mask
ing as Americanism, is the comment
of Andrew Furuseth, president Of the
international Seamen's Union, in re-
ply to the New York Worlds request
for statement on an anti-strike me-
mortal issued by representatives of
several alleged farmers organizations
in this city when newspapers were
talking about railroad strike.
President Furuseth forwarded this
wire to the World:
Telegram about farmers memorial
received Among other expressions it
says: The welfare of the people must
ever remain superior to that of any
class or group Of people,
"This is not Americanism. This is
bolshevism. 1t is exactly the philos
ophy upon which the present Russian
government is based. It recognizes
no right of the individual, but makes
the individual subservient to the peo-
pie as whole, which | suppose to
mean the state. This is the philoso-
ply of Trietchke. Americanism, as
understand it, makes every individual
free within the limits laid down by
the Declaration of independence, the
bill of rights and the later amend
ments to the constitution of the Unit
ed States.
IF the memorial is correct in prin-
ciple, Christianity is mistake,
Americanization an error, the aboli-
tion of slavery crime.
'The memorial is evidently an out
growth of the hysteria that produced
the indianapolis injunction proceed
ings and the effort on the part of the
attorney general and others to re-es-
tablish the inquisition under the name
of sedition laws.
America has drifted far from her
moorings when such memorials are
seriously submitted to congress by
men assumed to be sane Americans.
Freedom to quit work is the es-
sence of mans ownership of his own
body. The right to combine with 9TH
ers for this purpose is sane, progress
sivc, constructive individualism; it's
denial is not individual freedom, but
individual isolation.
Such attacks upon fundamental
Americanism are dangerous when it
is done in the name of the disinherit-
ed by organization, no matter what
name they give themselves. 1t is
more dangerous when it is the work of
respectable citizens calling themselves
law and order leagues, or by some
other name.
1T is most dangerous and revolu-
tlonary when clothed in the toga of
the legislator or the errnine of the
Judge"

THE SHOP GROCERY

The idea of selling foodstuffs to
their employees at practical cost by
several big factories is a mighty good
thing for those benefited, but it is
going to be mighty bad for the small
dealer, whom we are afraid it is 60
ing to hurt more than anyone. But
there is some good going to come out
of it, These goods are not going to
be sold at loss, and it will soon be
learned whether there has been any
fierce profteering in the necessities
of life If there has been no unjust
profteering on the part of the gro
GERS, they ought to welcome the store
as it will show their side of the story
to be true On the other hand, if they
have been gouging the public they
are deserving of no sympathy, and it
will be well for the public to know
just what is going on.

TALK
Sort of ''Side Line," Says
School Supervisor

Westinghouse School Life" issued
by the United States bureau of edu-

ent-day "Americanization" talks and
plans by Miss Ruby Baugman, in her
annual report as supervisor of Los
Angeles (Cal.) evening schools.
"Americanization,' says the report,
is a side line, an adendum, an after
thought, a compromise, in too many
different departments of educational,
social and governmental activity.
There is not even a philosophy of
Americanization or democratization

There are many cities which are
talking about what they could do for

they could do for these people would

GoMpERs AND POLITICS

Under foregoing head the following
editorial appeared in the Hamilton
Eevening Journal, and which this
paper deems worthy of reproduction:
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, takes
the right attitude when he warns In
diana labor leaders of the folly of
organized labor entering the arena of
politics as an independent party.
1.-THE American Federation of Labor
has succeeded in the past in bringing
about many reforms and improved
conditions which have been of social
and material benefit to the man who
labors. It has placed labor upon a
higher plane than it has ever before
occupied 1t has given labor dignity
which it had been denied. This dig
nifty, this reward in better working
conditions, better living conditions,
better surroundings, happier and more
ccntented lives have been due to the
efforts of the American Federation of
Labor and its affiliated organizations,
AND NOT THROUGH POLITICAL
ACTION.
THE American Federation of Labor
can continue its work and better
the conditions of its members and
their families-BUT NOT THROUGH
A SEPARATE POLITICAL ORGAN
IZATIoN.
Samuel Gompers understands men,
understands conditions and he knows
and because he knows he sends this
warning to the labor leader in Indiana
to escape the fate that must follow
an indulgence in politics and the
abandonment of the principles for
which organized labor in America has
always stood"

POLICEMEN NOT, WORK
MEN
n m m

New York-The court of appeals
has ruled that policemen are not
workmen within the meaning of the
state workmen's compensation act.
4 policeman fell off box in one of
the station houses while attempting
to attach an electric light bulb. The
corporation counsel, in trying to Sc
cure him compensation, argued that
the policeman, at the time he fell, was
performing the duties of janitor or
turnkey, and as such was entitled to
an award under the compensation law.
A lower court upheld this plea, but
it has been reversed by the court of
appeals.

LABOR IN POLITICS

Organized labor is going to wage a
vigorous political campaign through
out the entire country this summer
and fall, in both primary and regular
elections. The campaign is to be non
partisan in nature. 1t is to be waged
for those candidates known to be at
least fair and not bitter, and antag-
cnistic to the interests of labor, no
matter with what political party they
may be affiliated, from president on
down. Particularly will the campaign
be waged in the senatorial, congress-
ional and judicial contests. Organized
labor proposes to be for its friends.
Pursuant to a call issued for the
furtheranee of the movement, all cen
tral bodies affiliated with the A. F..
Of L. are called upon to hold meet
ing on March p to appoint a commit
tee of five to manage the local non
partisan campaign in their respective
localities.
The call is signed by Samuel Com
pers, Frank Morrison and James
O.Connell, executive committee of the
A. F. Of l. national bipartisan cam
paign committee.

PURE AMERICANIsM"

In opposing the trade union non

cial-Appeal calls for ''pure American
ISM and the Memphis, Tenn, Labor
Review asks:
What is this stuff called pure
Americanism From what fount may
it be procured? Who originated it
and who can tell the genuine from the
spurious?
"Of course, labor has its own idea
of Americanism, and be believe it will
pass muster with such Americans as
jefferson and Lincoln, having been
garnered from the teachings of these
men. But, if Americanism means
government by injunction, wholesale
raiding of so-called radical meetings,
slavery for federal employees, espion-
age laws, cossacks, 1000 per cent pro
fit for coal mineowners, Imprisonment
of labor leaders, child labor, denial of
seats in legislatures to duly elected
representatives of the people, anti
strike laws, suppression of free speech
and press, sedition laws and other
common practices too numerous to
mention-if that is the Commercial
Appeals conception of Americanism,
and that is the sort of Americanism
we now have, then the A. F of L. and
all its members are un-American-
and proud of it.

East High street residents and those

setting up a loud wall because of the
condition of the street, caused by its

street is almost impossible. Of
course it isn't expected that the
street would be as a paved one yet,
since the sewer is in the center, there
is no reason why the sides couldn't
be put into shape as to be at least
passable. If a fire should break out
