Gates on the Labor Leader.
Samuel Gompers is not one Of the

He had no reason to think he was en-
titled to the privilege of addressing

the precincts Of the University Of Penn

guarded against the wiles Of heretics
and blasphemers and the gates Of its
temples are closed to all who have not
proved by act and word their faith in
the infallibility of vested rights.
Any man who wants to go to West
Philadelphia and talk to the under
graduates about wages is a disturber
Of the peace. That great and exclu

For ten weeks the British Miners
union had contributed $4,000 a week
"a total of $5OO,OOO) to the Prince of
Wales fund to relieve distress among
the poor who were forced to endure
hardships because of the war. In the
course of time some of the miners
themselves were forced to apply for
relief, but were refused assistance on
the ground that they were not "des-

MAKES STRIKES CRIMES

The bill that is most dangerous to
the rights of miners to organize for
their own protection, and to call
strike in defense of those rights, is
the one which declares that ANY per-
son who shall urge or advise another
to resist or defy the civil officers OF
the state, or the militia of the state,
or who shall make any public speech
or write or cause to be published any
book, pamphlet or newspaper or
magazine, inflammatory in character,
and having a tendency to incite pub
lie disorder or breach Of the peace,
shall be deemed guilty of sedition."
The construction that any court
favorable to mine-owners, such as
many southern coal field courts were
shown to be, might place upon this
bill. is that mine organizers who ad-
vocate united action by the workers
could be railroaded to jail on sedition
charges.
The wording is so ambiguous, it is
pointed out, that any court or sheriff
or captain of militia could decide for
himself what constituted an "inflam-
matory" speech or article. To urge
another to resist a civil officer" is ex-
actly what occurred in the coal strike,
when sheriff posses took possession
of roads leading to and from miners
homes. and forbade the inmates to
walk on the roads.
