At the Philadelphia Convention

Stifle Ambition and Mental
and Moral Growth of Men
In Their Employ

Denver, Dec. 3l.-The closing
sessions of the United States indus
trial relations commission, which
has been investigating the miners
strike, resulted in most sensational
disclosures, and throws additional
light on the anarchy of Colorado
coal operators.
John McQuarrid, who had been
an under sheriff In Huerfano coun-
ty Gin the strike zene), explained
the general methods of selecting
coroner's juries. The foreman of
any mine where an accident occur
red would telephone the coroner,
McQuarrie said. The coroner then
telephoned deputy sheriff, who
accompanied the coroner to the
mine. There the coroner and fore
man talked over the accident, Sc
lected coroner's jury and had the
sheriff serve them with papers
Many times none of the jury could
speak more than a few words OF
English. The family of the vie.
tim or victims never was consulted.
Usually the return was made on,
by the coroner and said that the
victim came to his death by reason
of his own carelessness.
Sheriff Jeff Farr was asked:
Has a deputy sheriff ever sa
on jury in criminal case il
Huerfano county,"
"Yes, many times" replied
Farr.
Have you had men on crimina
juries who could not speak or un
derstand English?"
Many of them; many times"
The sheriff acknowledged he hac
not looked into the qualifications ot
401 mine guards who were turned
over to the companies, who took
them, paid them, and gave then
orders what to do and where te
go"
Farr was asked: You did not
examine them at ALL and so there
might have been even red. handed
murderer among them?"
so far as l know, ves," replied
the protector of law an order.
The names of some of the depu.
ties were and Farr said they made
no reports to him. When one
name was read, he said Il know
him, but | didn't know he was car
rying deputy's papers around. "
Rev. James Mcdonald, Metho-
dist clergyman, testified that the
lack of church organization in the
mining section was due directly to
the opposition of the companies,
whose purpose, I believe, te be TO
stihe the ambition and the mental
and moral growth of the men in
their employ, as the church always
has been recognized as a power for
uplifting and enlightening man
kind !"
The witness stated that he had
been threatened by the militia and
by company men for his activities
in behalf of the strike.

WORLD OF LABOR

James J. Mcnamara one of the
New York's most prominent
shipping masters, was fined $3.50
in the Federal District Court for
accepting money from sailors with
the understanding they were to be
given jobs. One of the McNama-
ra's agents was held in 81 500

Briefs have been filed in the Uni
ted States Supreme Court attacking
the constitutionality of the Oregon
minimum wage law for women.
Summed up, the briefs hold that
such legislation is beyond the pow
er OF a state, is unsupported by
public opinion, would be destruc-
tive of business, and would increase
the cost of living. No1cumpulsory
legislation in Massachusetts and
Nebraska is approved in the briefs,
but the compulsory legislation in
Oregon, Washington, Colorado,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, California,
and Utah is condemned.
The Building Trades Department
of the A. F. OF /. changed its con-
stitution at it's annual meeting to
conform to the A. F. of L. conven-
ton decision that hereafter depart
ment afflliation must be voluntary
and not compulsory on the part of
various national and international
organizations. President Williams
and Secretary Treasurer Spencer
were unanimously re-elected. The
convention reduced the number OF
its executive board to FIVE presi-
dents, as follows; George F. He'd
rick, painters. F. J. McNulty, cleo
trical workers; Joseph E. McGlory
structural iron workers; Walter V.
Price, marble settlers. San Fran.
cisco was selected as the next con-
vention city.
T he United States Supreme
Court has held that the code OF
Alabama, which permits peonage,
is unconstitutional because it con-
f1icts with the thirteenth amend
ment of the Federal Constitution
1t was charged that one ]. A. Rey-
nolds held E. w. Fields in peonage
TO werk out debt, and that Rev
nolds had Fields arrested, accord
ing to law, for the purpose of com
pelling him, by involuntary servi-
tude, to pay the debt. The defense
was that Fields was convicted and
fined by a court for selling mort
gagged property, after which the
court allowed Fields to confess
Judgment in accordance with the
Alabama law, which was questioned
IN this case. Fields signed a con-
tract to work out" the debt, but
later refused to abide by it, and
was arrested.
The Cleveland Craze Teachers
Club has voted to reimburse the
SIX teachers who were dismissed
for activity in seeking to organize
a union The club will also pay
all expenses incurred by the club S
executive board in conducting the
fight for higher pay for teachers.
Miss Marie Claus, president of the
club, was cheered when she stated
that the Cleveland school teachers
were victims of habit, the habit of
being poorly paid, but that from
now on they would make it a babit
to continue demanding higher pay
until the demand is granted. She
urged the fixing of an initiation
fee and dues, and declared that

they stand. Superintendent FIRE.
