HE LAW

A man in Milwaukee desperately
in need of dwelling, after search
ing the city for a long time, at last
discovered one. Without further ado,
he took possession Of the flat. The
LAWYERS are now studying the law.
There are some five million work
ers out of a job-they are hungry
and desperately in need of work.
There are about forty million work
ers in the same plight in Europe.
There are many millions more in In
dia, China and Japan. What if these
millions of workers proceeded to take
food to satisfy their hunger? What
liz they took possession Of their jobs
land then let them study the law?
| Such advice, given by syndicalists
and industrial unionists and actually
put into practice in Italy recently,
resulted most fatally there. The
workers took possession Of their
jobs. They proceeded to work. But
they had forgotten to study the law
| first. II they had, they would have
learned that it is the, duty Of the
present capitalist government to pro-
tect private property. They would
have learned that the government
has different departments wherewith
to safeguard private property, viz.
the courts, the police, the army, ETC.
The workers would have learned that
to give a different Interpretation to
the law, they would need different
Judges; to have different judges, they
would need a different law; to have
} a different law, they would need

Mingo-co West Virginia, the seat
of much mine trouble within the past
year again takes the center of the
stage of the American class-war.
Battles between strikers and SYM
pathizers and strike breakers, state
police and county sheriffs has been
raging up and down the Tug River
for several days past. Screened by
the heavy thickets and woods both
sides in the struggle have bent every
effort to locate the intrenchments of
the enemy across the river and to
lay them low with lead. Six deaths
have been reported and a number
wounded.
The strike is a year old and has
been marked with extreme bitter
ness and tenacity of the strikers
Several month ago Baldwin-Feltz
detectives attempted to put miners
out of the Company owned houses
A pitched battle ensued which re-
suited in the deaths of six OF the
detectives including Albert Feltz. Sic

BRITISH RESERv|STs REFUSE STRIKE

Two thousand British naval reser-
visits on strike duty in the Welsh
coal fields have been removed be-
cause Of their sympathy with the
strikers. Disaffection in the ranks
due to agitation Of radicals have so
Wrought up the reservists that they
constituted a positive menace to the
governments programe of breaking
the strike of the miners,
With dogged persistency the min
ers have stood out solidly against the
mine owners and the government for
their demands. All attempts to per-
suade them to accept less has re.
suited only in added determination
to go the limit of their endurance.
Intense suffering has had not
weakened the miners.
While the traitorous leaders Of
the Triple Alliance prevented trans
port and railroad workers calling 8
general strike, what amounts to al
most the same thing in effect, is the
decisions of the railroad men not tx
handle imported coal nor scab Goa
produced from British mines. The re
solution adopted by the railroader
reads:
First, that the union railway work
ers must not handle imported Goa
regardless Of the use it is to be pu
to.
Second, railway men must no
