HOW THE MINERS
ARE ROBBED.
The~mine owners are not merely
® content to exploit the miners through
the ordinary channels of the wage
system, but exercise downright rob-
bery of the miners at the scales.
John Kenneth Turner who has got-
ten inside information says ‘‘Ore
big company alone in West Virginia
has sold and received an annual
f average of 840,000 tons of coal more
than ever appeared on the payrolls,
which at the average selling price
ef $1.15 amounts to $966,000 con-
verted by sheer theft from the min-
ers each year by one operation.”
This is really what the operators
| of West Virginia are fighting to re-
tain.” They would be willing enough
to pay higher wages, but to have a
check-weighman at the scales would
mean millions of brazenly stolen
wealth from the poorest of the poor
That
is why all law and constitutions
| are set aside by the former attorneys
of and stockholders in the mine cor-
porations who now constitute the
office holding clique of slave-ridden
West, Virginia.
The miners of the Somerset county
section have always bitterly com-
plained of like robbery. Some day
the books of the Somerset county
coal corporations are going to be
opened, and then the most startling
' theft will likewise be shown here.
What else can one expect? The
capitalist system is cornerstoned on
f the robbery of the workers, and so
long as it lasts, robbery in one form
or another will continue. The work-
| ers must be knit closer together ina
class-conscious army of emancipation.
Union organization and socialist
political action must go hand in
hand and the struggle must go on
nntil the workers win for society the
collective ownership of the indus-
tries.
THE APPEAL TO REASON.
After seyen years of persecution
iby the United States Government,
{started in Colonel . Roosevelt’s ad-
ministration and- continued by Prof.
Taft, in which the entire secret ser-
vice force has hounded this valiant
little paper, in. which the heroic
Genl. H. G. Otis, of the notorious
Los Angeles Times spent about
$100.1 00 on a fake exposure, all the
cases against the Appeal have been
thrown out of court, there being noth-
ing to hold its editors on.
That such things can happen in}.
this land of freedom of speech (?)
is not so astounding to those. who
know that the Appeal’s only crime
has been the exposure of and the
fight for the abolition of the capitalist
system, and that under capitalism
the goyernment is merely a commit-
tee of the capitalist class to carry
ov’ its will. The fight is not over,
for the Appeal is going. right after
! the corrupt officials who have stoop-
ed at nothing to bankrupt and put
the paper out of business; and the
conspirators including the brave?
underhanded general H. G. Otis,
may well quake in their boots.
The workers are with youn, Com-
rade Warren. More power to your
fight. Our Fight.
THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.
I love to go among my dear com-
rades, the people,
Loafing the streets with my spirit
alert and approving,
Not afraid to admit the bad with the
good or losing faith when evil
brags or blasphemes,
Giving my whole self for the whole
self of the crowd,
Withholding nothing from the free
interchange of the hours,
Liberal with life as the crowd is
liberal with life,
In the sacred stream without ques-
tion of precedence commingling.
The mad sea tosses—the sea of my
comrades.
Horace Traubel.
THE CLASS STRUGGLE AT HAR-
RISBURG.
Whoever thinks there is not a class
struggle in society should read the
accounts of the hearing at Harris-
burg, Pa., on the Walnut Child
Labor bill. There one witnesses the
entire force of the Manufacturers
Assn. represented by the most
brilliant lawyers, pleading that they
| be allowed. to continue the ruthless
exploitation of little children in the
mills and factories before a com-
mittee elected by the workers but
friendly to the exploiters; while op-
posed to them stands the entire con-
vention of the Penna. Federation
of Labor under the leadership of
that staunch Socialist and plain
workmen, Jim Maurer, who vigor-
ously smashes the arguments of the
brilliant lawyers and silences that
champion of graft and exploitation,
Jim MeNichol.
ROCKEFELLER SHOULD WORRY.
The shares of the Standard Oil
Trust which was busted by President
Taft are soaring in anticipation of the
cutting of a big melon, which means
Profits. In spite of all the trust bust-
ing hocus pocus by our capitalistic
Supreme Court, it seems that the
resurrection has come—for the Oil
Trust. Rdckefeller should worry so
long as his class own the courts.

INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCTIOOL
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Even-
ing Department, The Moody Bible In-
stitute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR MAY 25.
JOSEPH AND BENJAMIN.
LESSON TEXT-—Gen. 43:18, 19, 23-34.
GOLDEN TEXT—' ‘He that loveth his
brother abideth in the light.” I John 2:10.
Jacob’s plaintive cry as uttered in
verse six of this chapter touches the
heart of any father, but Gcd is work-
ing out his plan unknown to Jacob.
The brothers must have been im-
pressed by Joséph’s words that they
should dare starvatiom, and their fa-
ther’s grief and anger, rather than re
turn to Egypt witheut their brother
Benjamin.
Judah, whe before had seught to de-
liver Joseph, new offers te become
surety for Benjamin. Thus it was
that Jacob was persuaded, but te
make as good an impression az pes-
sible with this strange Egyptian ruler
Jacob directed that in addition te the
necessary funds @ present alse be pre
pared (48:11), amd remembering the
strange return of the mensey befers,
that this time & @suble portion be
taken. Twe wesls will serve to ai
vide the lessen. Fear and Feasting.
Sought Mis Brether.
iI. Fear, vv. 1825. Ordinarily
such an invitatiea te Joseph's house
would be comsidered a great honor,
but in this strange land and possessed
by guilty conseciemes we read, “Amd
the men were afraid.” They who se
carelessly sold their brother inte sla-
very are themselves fearful of becom-
ing “bondmen.” Joseph did seek am
occasion against them but it was that
he might secure his brother Benjamin
(the ethers were enly half-brothers),
to abide with him in Egypt. Netiee
how eagerly they explain the matter
of the meney im their sacks te the
steward. The stewerd seeks te reas-
sure them by telling them that, “yeur
God, the God ef yeur father hath giv-
en you treasure im‘ your sacks.” In-
deed God had, but he gave them their
blessing through’ snother. Evea so
we through grace are blessed by
means of another who is. our Joseph.
Christ is constantly seeking to reas-
sure our hearts.
Il. Feasting, vv. 26-34. In last
week’s lesson we beheld these broth-
ers bowing before Joseph even as his
dream had indicated (37:5-8) and now
a second time they are on their faces
before him. They had bragged that
it should never be 80, “we shall see”:
(87:20) and indeed they are now see-
ing. That man who says to God “I
will not” in the end is always com-
pelled to do that very thing he in his
pride said he would not do. Those
who now mock our Joseph will in the
end be compelled to do him obeisance,
Rom. 14:11; Phil. 2:10. It was tHat
Joseph might gain his brother Benja-
‘min that he mdde all of these delays
in revealing himself to his other
brothers. As we have seen Benjamin
was Joseph's only full brother 30:22
etc., and had had no part in the con-
spiracy against Joseph, hence Joseph's
heart went out in great love for Ben-
jamin, vv. 29-31. Joseph's tears were
no sign of weakness but rather of
strength, John 11:35; 2-Tim. 1:4. Such
a manifestation of emotion ought never
to be suppressed.
Bold Pretense.:
Joseph knew full well how to con-
trol his emotions (v. 81) till the prop:
er time. Joseph (v.27) is fearful that
his father might have passed away yet
his question does not reveal his iden:
tity. We wonder if there must not
have been some suspicion in the
minds of these Hebrews when their
Egyptian host told the exact order of
their respective ageB, v. 33 (see also
44:12), and that perhaps Joseph might
‘after all be alive: Doubtless their
guilty consciences were again aroused
when they beheld their youngest
brother singled out for such manifest
partiality (v. 384). They; however,
made a bold pretense and “drank
largely,” R. V., making merry te cover
their confusion.
intoxication we do not know. Any-
how they are not held before us as
an example in this particular, nor
does the biblical account demand that
we defend them in this matter.
This was a strange feast. The sight
of Benjamin recalls, to Joseph the
memories of home and mother and
caused him to retire from the pres:
ence of his brothers lest he reveal
himself through his tears. Return-
ing he restrains his emotions while
at the same time his brothers are la-
boring under the constraint of their
fears. What differing emotions haunt-
ing memories recall. Joseph’s mem-
ories fill him with love and tenderness
while the brothers are filled with sus-
picion of the entertainment they are
receiving.
The golden text as applied to Jo-
seph reveals the secret of the strength
of his character. To abide in the
light is to be always true to God. It
means to reveal ultimately the mean-
ing of the darkness. All of this comes
| out more clearly when Joseph at last
fully reveals himself to his brothers.
To walk in the light alone will enable
us to keep the golden rule for “Love
is goodness in action.” This is a ten-
i der lesson to relate to the young and

For Peach Lea! Curl
The most common disease of the
peach trees this year is the disease of
the leaf }known as the Peach Leaf
Curl, It causes the leaves to become
swollen and abnormally red and bloteh-
ed in color. It has been observed to
be much worse upon trees like the
| ““Elberta.’’ Numerous specimens
have recently been sent to the office
of State Zoologist H. A. Surface,
Harrisburg, and to one inquiry con-
cerning this disease he recently re-
plied as follows:
«Replying to your recent letter ask-
ing about the disease of your peach
leaves, I can say that, as yousuppose,
they are infected with the leaf curl.
In my bulletins I have said to spray
with a strong fungicide, like Lime-
sulphur Solution or Bordeaux mixture,
before the leaves appear. A man who
is in the peach growing husiness and
his income depends upon it will do
this, and not wait until he sees the
disease on his leaves before he com-
mences to give treatment. After the
disease shows in the leaf, it is impos-
i sible to cure that individual leaf, con-
sequently, spraying now will do
| nothing more than to help prevent
the disease of some young leaves that
are commencing to develope. The
best tning to do now under the cir-
cumstances, since you did not spray
with Lime-sulphur Solution as direct-
ed for San Jose Scale when the trees
were dormant, would be to spray with
two quarts of concentrated Lime-

there is much of the infestation the
