Of the West vii

Of the West will come to understand the Southern attitude
toward the negro.
The point says Tom Watson which we desire to make
now however. is Of constitutional law.
President Roosevelt and the Hamiltonans generally,
assume that treaty made by the United States may legally
override law They that where the Federal
Government entered into treaty with Japan guaran-
eeng equality OF treatment for the Japs who in this
country the State of California lawfully exclude
them from the schools conhne them certain part OF

right to realty. discriminate against them in any
manner whatsoever.

good law
The reserved rights OF the be impaired

Congress take away particle the sovereignty Of state
No one will dispute this How then. can the Government
do by treaty what it cannot do by Of Congress?
The states made the Federal Government the states
made the constitution; the states defined the powers
which Mere conceded to the Federation The highest law
in the land is the constitution next. treaties made
in pursuance Of the constitution.
| How can it be claimed that treaiy,s made in pursu-
ance Of the constitution when it nvades the reserved
rights OF a state To regulate her affairs prescribe
the qualifications of voters. and adopt whatever police
regulations inconsistent with powers granted the Fed
era Governments the inherent sovereign right OF each
state.
The Supreme Court Of the United States recently de-
cded that the State Of Kentucky could legally exclude
negro children from the white schools and colleges IL
Kentucky can discriminate against the blacks why cannot
California draw the line against the brown and yellow men?

ROLL CALL
Of the Miners Union Shows
But Eighteen Per Cent
of Miners Belonging to
Organization.

With the expiration of the agree
ment between the anthracite mine
workers and operators only a few
weeks of, the condition of the
miners union in the anthracite re-
gion is now subject of interest to
both the. men and their employers.
President Lewis of the United Mine
Workers of America. in his address
before the convention at Indianapo-
lis has supplied figures showing the
numerical strength of his organiza-
ton.
In three anthracite districts of
Pennsylvania, says Mr.. Lewis, the
roll Of the union for 1908 contains
the names of 30,S51 mine workers.
As the fetal number of mine workers
in these districts is 10000 or there
abouts, the union membership repre-
sents only about IS per cent of the
whole. In one Of the three districts,
according to Mr.. Lewis's report,
there are only 4.517 union miners.
! The agreement between the oper-
ators and miners following the strike
of 1902. and the renewal of tho
agreement in 1906, have kept the
anthracite region unusually free
from trouble for six years, with the
result that the men have felt no
need for organization. The Concili-
alton Board. established by the
Strike Commission of 1902. has been
on hand to adjust any grievance
presented by a mine worker. When
they settled down to work after the
suspension of 1906. the men began
to be dropped from the union rolls
for non-payment of dues. Recently
the leaders declared a cut rate initi-
alton fee, in order to bring the men
back into the fold.
| The demands drafted by union
committee. for presentation to the
operators, call for the abolition OF
the Cancellation Board and for the
collection of union dues through a
system of deduction from wages
The labor leaders also demand tina,
whatever agreement is made shall,
: extend only one year. instead of
: three years.
