Death CLAIMS MATT WASLEY, ONE
OF FOUNDERS OF MINERS union

Mathew Wasley, age 81, 423 Fifth
avenue West, died yesterday (Mond2y)
at Duluth hospital. Funeral SER
vices will be held at 2 p. m. Thursday
from Crawford's Undertaking rooms.
Burial will be at Ishpening, Mich"
That was the brief news story car
ried in the morning paper Tuesday of
the death of one Of Gods noblemen.
Who was Matt Wasley? If old Joe
Sellwood were living today he would
know. Samuel Gompers know. Bob
Askew. now a rural letter carrier out
Of Salt Lake City, knows, as does
every iron miner of the old days in
the Lake Superior district.
Matt Wasley was born in Cornwall,
England. He came to America in
early life and settled in the upper
peninsula of Michigan when less than
~ years of age.
Away back in the sos he was ar
dent member of the Knights Of La
Dor. In 1894 he was one of the or
ganizers of Northern Mineral Mine
Workers which claimed jurisdiction
Of all miners of metal in the United
States. That was before there was
a Western Federation Of Miners. Was
ley was elected general secretary Of
the organization. Bob Askew was
president and Bill Nudge, latter with
the Sellwood's on the Mesaba range,
was vice president.
AS soon as union was organized
in any district Of the Lake Superior
region there were wholesale dismissals
of employees. Bob Askew and Matt
Wasley made the fight for justice and
democracy in the iron mining n
dustry. They were overcome, but
not defeated. Askew went out to
Utah and worked under cover in the
Bingham mine. He was discovered
and discharged. Blacklisted through

out the country he at last took re-
fuge in the postal service where he
has been ever since. We met him in
June at Denver, a delegate to the A.
F. Of L. convention from the Rural
Letter Carriers association.
When Wasley was a young man he
suffered an injury in the mines. From
that injury he died last Monday. Frail
Of body as result of his infirmity
he sought employment outside Of the
mines. He could not get a job with
a. mining company. He was on their
blacklist. Drifting from one occupation
to another he finally was given enl-
ployment as janitor in the Mania attain
building, in which The Labor World
offices are located.
The hounds of labor followed him
there. Whitney Wall, the manager
of the building, protected him for
nearly 20 years, and he remained
with us until John A. Stephenson TOOK
the building over one year ago when
he was removed. His friends got him
a position at the public library. That
was his last job, the last he needed
on earth.
Matt Wasley was Christian in the
truest sense of the word. There was
not the slightest bitterness or re-
sentiment in his heart and we know
Of no man who had a greater right
to be bitter. Mother Jones came to
see us once, and while she was here
Wasley dropped into the office. The
dear old mother Of the miners re-
coganized him at glance. She
dropped her handbag and threw her
arms around Wasley in loving endear-
ment as if he were her long lost son.
Matt Wasley is the salt of the
earth," said Mother JONES' There
are only few of his kind left. God
bless him.

HIT 'Em between THE EYES WHEN
COMPANY SPIES PREACH VIOLENCE

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 7.-Any one
who favors destruction Of property in
the president oil workers strike should
be hit between the eyes, quickly"
declares the district council of oil
workers, in reporting their failure to
secure a settlement with the oil own
ers.
During the war the government set
up arbitra ton machinery for this in
dustry, in California, and now the oil
owners want it smashed.
The district council gave this ad-
vice to the oil workers:
After you have ceased work watch
with suspicion any man who makes
property, remembering that he is
most likely the hireling Of the COM
panies who have brought this thing
upon you. The best way to answer
him is to hit him between the eyes,,
quickly, so that. Re and the companies
for whom he is working cannot bring
discredit upon you and your organiza-
tion."
The union has organized a law and
order committee of $50 ex-service
men, members of the union. These
men are patroling the entire field.
Their special instructions are to
watch for company spies and agents
Of the companies starting fires and
creating disorder. They are also
watching for bootleggers that no
''hootch" is distributed among the
5000 strikers. No member Of the
com mitfee is nern1it tad tn carry fro
