parison Of the records the voters
everywhere may determine whom to
support and whom to defeat. There
is no ambiguity about the records Of
either candidates or parties.
Politicians who fear retribution at
the hands of an outraged electorate
have made the charge that labor in
some cases had abandoned it's nom
partisanship and has become partisan.
But in no sense is this true. There is
no labor vote to be delivered and there
is no labor partisan ship to any po-
litical party. There is, however, a
vote Of working men and women and
of those citizens generally who are
forward looking and who are deter
mined to guard the principles of free
dom and Justice, who will vote more
un1tedly than ever before for the re-
tirement of those who have betrayed
the trust placed in them and for the
election of those whose principles and
records indicate that they may be
people in public office.
The interest that has been mani
tested in labor's non-partisan cam
paign surpasses anything ever known
in an American political effort. In
response to suggestions from the ma
tional campaign committee local
unions, central bodies and state fed
erations throughout the country have
appointed campaign committees and
these in turn have formed compact
central organizations through which
the efforts of all might be or1anized
and coordinated for the purpose of
securing the most favorable results.
It has recently been requested that
local labor campaign committees hold
conRressional-di district meetings for the

purpose of more effectively organizing
the work in each congressional dis
trict. Out Of close cooperation of this
character much good is certain to re-
suit
In order to further increase the en-
thusiasm and the effectiveness Of the
campaign work the national campaign
committee has requested that the ex-
ecutive councils Of all state fedora
tions of labor be called together in
special sessions at an early date. The
purpose of these meetings is to make
clear the program in each state and
to harmonic and organize all efforts
with one object in view.
The staff which has been organized
by the national campaign committee
at A. F. Of L. headquarters in WASH
1ngton Is giving every possible assist
ance to local campaign committees,
and there should be no hesitancy on
the part of any local committee in
asking for such counsel and assistance
as may be deemed necessary. One Of
the most encouraging features Of the
entire work Of the campaign thus far
has been the tremendous demand for
literature published by our national
committee. 1t has been impossible to
keep abreast Of this demand, largely
owing to difficulty in securing suf-
ficient quantities Of white paper, but
every effort is being made to meet
as fully as possible the needs in this
direction.
It will be noted that in this issue

American people will lead them to
determine which platform more
nearly conforms to their desires and
which expresses more nearly their
ideals and aspirations toward free
dom, justice and democracy.
The forces of greed and plunder,
the profiteers and the autocrats of
our political and industrial life leave
no doubt as to what they desire and
where they will mass their support.
The challenge Of these forces to
the citizenship of the nation Is brazen
and blunt. That the right thinking
men and women of our republic can
afford to allow this challenge to reap
a harvest of political power in the
coming election is unthinkable. More
than in any political contest since the
days Of the civil war the issue is
clearly drawn between reaction and
progress. The wish Of the enemies
Of labor and Of the people generally
is not merely to stand pat for what
is; it is to go back to what was.
Against this concept Of darkness
the people must mass themselves
solidly and invincibly for progress.
There burns in the hearts Of the
American people a great and noble
ideal. The spirit that made of our
war a great crusade and that made
of our wonderful army a host of cru
saders sworn to fidelity to human
rights and human freedom lives in
everything that is truly American
and demands expression in the acts

of labor have given to their servants
the mandate that labor must be
crushed. it's rights denied and it's lib
critics destroyed.
With the freedom Of the working
people the whole destiny Of democ-
racy as understood in American life
is involved and entwined. If labor
could be turned back from its onward
march the great torch Of liberty
would cease to burn for the millions.
The masses of the working people
Of the nation understand the great
issue that faces them. The one su-
preme issue is whether liberty shall
live. Profiteering, the denial Of free
speech and free press, the despotic
use of the injunction-all of these are
manifestations Of the same determina-
tion, the same drive to crowd labor
back from the road Of progress and
to take out of millions Of homes that
light which has come into them as
the harbinger of higher and better
civilization.
Let America make no mistake about
what is involved. in this campaign.

BY SAMUEL GOMPERS.

The most virile movement in polit-
ical life today is the national nom
partisan campaign being conducted
by the American Federation of Labor.
Eloquent testimony to that effect is
heard wherever the political situation
is intelligently discussed. There is no
mistaking the influence which is be-
ing exerted for the defeat of candi-
dates who have shown themselves to
be antagonistic to the best interests
Of the working people and to our
citizenship generally. The records
show that In the primary elections
whic hhave been held thus far, the
national non-partisan political organ
izatlon of labor has played a decisive
part in more than IS contests. In
that many districts those who have
been hostile or unfriendly have been
defeated. A number of primary elec-
tions remain to be held and in these
there is certain to be additional
achievement for the welfare of our
people.
Three months remain before the
final day Of the present political struE-
gle and these three months will con-
stitute the vital portion of the cam
paign period. The issues of the cam
paign are now in full before the peo-
pie everywhere. The records of can
didates for the senate and for the
house of representatives have been
sent to all labor organizations
throughout the country. The political
party platforms has been written and
labor's analysis of them has been
placed before the people. BY COM

33 idle mines in Kansas and a mes
sage to Alexander Howatt, president
Of the Kansas miners, denouncing him
in strong language for his alleged
course in fostering and fomenting the
strike trouble.
Lewis ordered the strikers to re-
sumo work and take up their griev-

IF it is your desire to continue to
function as officer Of the United Mine
Workers, I warn you to comply with
it's laws the telegram to Howatt
said, after Lewis had mentioned the
agreement between the union and coal
operators.
"A continuation Of the mad course

WAR IN WEST VA.
Coal Owners Provoke Trouble to
Prevent Miners From Joining
Labor Union

CHARLESTON, W.. Va, Aug. g.
In their efforts to stop employees from
joining the United Mine Workers of
America, coal owners have precipi-
tated civil war in several sections Of
this state, and private armies MAIN
tanned by the coal owners, are in
complete command. In Mcdowell
county the Balwwin-Feltz detectievs
are terrorizing~ citizens. At Roder-
field. where the miners held a meet
ing recently. thes thugs fully armed,
opened fire on the workers. killing
one man and wounding others.
Mingo county, the miners declare,
is the worst ridden thug section in
the United States" The strikers say
peonage is practiced and men are
held in virtual slavery. The same
situation prevails in Logan county.
In these counties company thugs
have assumed the right to question
any individual they see tit, and it is
common to order a person to leave
the community. The thugs are armed
with high power rifles and machine
guns.
Officers of the United Mine Work
ers have made continuous appeal to
Governor Cornwall to establish law
and order in the mining camps, but
that official ignores the requests. The
state executive is much interested in
the American Constitutional associa-
ton, of which he is an officer. Trade
unionists insist that the governor has
wide field to apply his regard for
constitutional government in West
Virginia, instead Of making speeches
outside the state.

nent today.
Aldermen who formerly were con-
sidered proponents of the proposed
cents ordinance have expressed them
selves as tending to the opinion Of
Mayor Meyers that six cent fare is
sufficient to enable the Minneapolis
Street Railway company, to follow
the award Of the arbitration board.
Mayor Meyers also remains firm in
his contention.
Members of the executive commit
tees of the Trainmen's Cooperative
and Protective association declare
that if the council fails to pass the
seven cent fare ordinance today, they
will strike in "a hours.
Petition for Six-Cent Fare.
Horace Lowry, president of the
company, declined today to say
whether the company will grant train
men the award Of the board should
the council today fail to ratify the
recommendations that the company
be allowed to charge seven cent
fare with six and g. quarter cent
tickets.
Following a conference with Mayor
Meyers, yesterday representatives Of
the trainmen asserted that they will
not recede from the award Of tho
street railway arbitration board. The
board has granted the men go cents
on hour, based On a nine-hour day.
All time over nine hours is to be-
paid at the rate Of 70 cents an hour.
The men originally demanded 70
cents an hour. the eight-hour day and
