By President Gompers
In American Eederationist

Temporary peace by force of arms
has been effected in West Virginia by
the United States Army. Permanent
peace by establishment of democratic
government in West Virginia and at
least a beginning of democratic con-
duct of the mines has not been es-
tablished. The demonstration by the
miners and their friends in Mingo
and adjoining counties which recently
stirred the country and caused the
federal government to send troops
was the elimination of long period
of misrule by the owners of coal mine
properties.
Gunmen had sought to rule by force.
Murder by gunner had for years been
common and had gone unpunished.
The miners in reality constituted a
defense force against murder by gun
men and the display of numbers by
the miners in their march was in no
sense display of aggressive nature,
but one of resistance and resentment
against usurpation and marauding by
paid agents of unscrupulous greed.
There never was any doubt as to
the ability of United States troops
to compel the marching miners to dis
band and return to their homes. The
marching miners were not marching
against the United States. They were
marching in protest against tyranny
by coal mine owners.
The mines of West Virginia's non
union coal fields constitute the dark
est spot in America, barring possibly
the steel towns of the United States
steel corporation.
The lint of abuses in these non
union, anti-union coal fields constitute
scandal, in American life. Some OF
these abuses are:
The company gunman.
The organized company detectives
Payment in scrip.
The company store.
The company school.
The company-owned rights of way

tons displacement, all guns over six

This statement was not made by
some dreamer" Its author is Rear
Admiral Francis 7. Bowles, former
chief constructor of the United States
navy, who writes long plea and
argument for disarmament in the
Springfield Republican.
One reason for this policy, says the
naval official, is the vast increase in
the cost of modern war.

paration for war undoubtedly makes
wars more frequent and peace less

Admiral Bowles estimates that his
plan would result in decreasing naval
expenditure rs to 90 per cent. He
says coast defenses could hen easily
become effective against cruisers and
destroyers of which navies would then
consist.

NATURE PROVIDES

Argo- Phosphate, the New Herbal Remedy.
Now Endorsed by Local People

If the digestive organs are not properly
performing the work which nature has as
signed to them, then nutrition which is abb
solutely essential to the recovery of other
diseased parts, will be lacking and there can
be no permanent relief. When bodily nu-
triton is normal, the stomach digests nour-
ishment to the different parts of the body,
causing the various organs to properly per-
form their functions.
Nature has provided remedy in the in
gredients of Argo- Phosphate. the new herbal
stomach remedy, which is being into
duced here 1t is purely vegetable and its
vitalizing corrective and reconstructive quail
tiles are SO pronounced that beneficial results
are noticed from the first day. That this is
true, it is only necessary to listen to the
statements made daily by local people who
have given Argo- Phosphate fair trial and
have been benefited thereby.
