KIER HARDIE

Dead of pneumonia, they say; but if
the truth be known it is heartbreak
over the failure of the working class
his classic prevent the great con-
flagration that has swept Europe into
semi-barbarism.
Kier Hardie was a working class
politician who held himself close to
his class and stood forth on all occa-
sions as a representative of his class
and of his class alone. For years an
advocate of international peace and
international union of the workers,
he was dumfounded by the rapidity
with which the teachings of lifetime
were swept away on wave of
patriotism"
Taking a stand against the partici-
patton of England in the war, and
when that failed against the partici-
patton of the English workers in the
hellish butchery, he was defeated on
all sides, malinged and hated by the
tory press and prosecuted by the gov
ernment.
Hardie was miner by trade and
wore the common clothes of his craft
all his life, having no patience with
his colleagues who attempted to ape
the ruling class when they secured a
place in parliament, where Hardie
served for Is years continuously. He
was the founder and for many years
editor of the Labor Leader, the lead
ing organ of the Independent Labor
Party, and was widely known as an
author In his death the English
workers lose an able proponent and
the cause of internationalism gets an
other setback.
May there be many more to take
his place,-Union Record (Seattle.)

UNION OPPONENTS CHECKED

CHICAGO.-'Hands off the Teach
ers Federation" is the command OF
Judge O'Connor to the Chicago board
of education.
The board recently passed an order
calling on all teachers to withdraw
from the federation and now the court
restrains the board from enforcing its
rule. AS matters stand at present the
teachers organization is in the same
position it was before the board called
on teachers to sign a pledge that they
do not belong to the federation.
In his decision Judge OConnor
quoted the state supreme court in its
rule that it was illegal for a public
corporation to decide that only union
workmen could be employed on school
building construction. On the same
theory, declared Judge O'Connor, the
school board has no right to rule that
only non-union teachers can be EN-
ployed. Such a policy, said the court,
is an arbitrary classification that has
no connection with the public wei
fare. The court also held that the
boards rule would break a contract
with the teachers which was entered
into last June when the teachers were
hired.

State Labor Commissioner +. w.

test suit in the Kins county superior
court to determine whether station
men given 100 feet of road work to
DO, are sub-contractCrs or employees.
Horrocks Construction Co., defendants
in the test suit a prosecution for vio-

for the station men working ten hours.
Recognition Of such a contention.
Commissioner Olson claims, not only

the eight hour law, but might afford
employers of women on piece work

ment to defeat the effect of the mini

The Manly Report on Causes Of
Industrial Unrest
Personal Rights Must Be
Recognized as Supreme Over
Property Rights Says Report
5th observation-disclosures Proposed

The report says regarding RENE
dies:
"In considering the action which
needs to be taken it has been urged
by some that the end to be achieved
is to place personal rights on a parity
with property rights. 1t is necessary
to render a firm protest and warning
against the acceptance of such an
ideal The establishment Of property
rights and personal rights on the
same level can leave only a constant
and ever growing menace to our pop
ular institutions. With the acceptance
of such an ideal our democracy is
doomed to ultimate destruction. Per-
sonaI rights must be recognized as
supreme and of unalterabie ascend
ency over property rights.
"ReIief from these grave evils can
not be secured by petty reforms. The
action must be drastic and directed at
the roots from which these evils
spring.
with full recognition of the grav-
ity of the suggestions it seems neces
sary to urge the commission to make
the following recommendations:
Il. That congress should forthwith
initiate an amendment to the consti-
tuition providing In specific terms for
the protection of the personal rights
of every person in the United States
from encroachment by the federal and
state governments and by private in
dividuals, associations and corpora
tions. The principal rights which
should be thus specifically protected
by the power of the federal govern
ment are the privilege of the writ Of
habeas corpus, the right to jury trial,
free speech, peaceful assemblage, to
keep and bears arms, to be free from
unreasonable searches and seizures,
to speedy public trial, to freedom
from excessive ball. and from cruel
and unusual punishments.
"2. That congress Immediately en-
act by statute or, If deemed necessary,
initiate a constitutional amendment
specifically prohibiting the courts
from declaring legislative acts uncon-
stitutional
"3. That congress enact that in all
federal cases where the trial is by
jury all qualified voters in the district
shall be included in the list from
which jurors are selected and that
they shall be drawn by the use of a

BLAME CITY FOR DISASTER

NEW YORK-The death of seven
persons and the injury of nearly 100
others, because of a cave-in on sub
way work, is due entirely ito the
greed, avariciousness and criminal
carelessness of contractors and city
officials alike" declares the Central
Federated Union in a resolution pre-
sented by Secretary Bohm and en-
dorsed by the trade unionists.
The workers declare that the city
officials and the contractors are re,
sponsible for this slaughter of human
lives and the manning of the many
people, and the officials retrenchment
and false policy of economy to be prt-
marily the root of this evil; the pub
lie service commission decided against
our contention and in favor of cheap
labor at various hearings where we
proposed to protect the interests of
the public"
The following opinion is expressed
on the proposed investigation: "We
expect long .drawn-out investigations,
the juggling of responsibility from one
TO another. with the result nil as in
former like cases, too numerous to
mention"

WOMEN FACE ROCKEFELLER

DENVER.-John D. Rockefeller jr.,
experienced new sensations when Mrs.
Lee Champion and Mrs. Sarah L.
Scanlan, president and secretary, re-
spectively, of the Colorado Justice
League, told him the story of Ludlow.
Standing squarely before the worlds
richest young man, they charged his
Colorado Fuel & Iron company with
being responsible for this massacre
of women and children. Plain words
were used by the women, who told
Rockefeller that if John r. Lawson
is guilty of murder, then he (Rocke-
feller) is equally guilty of killing the
women and children. Rockefeller
showed much feeling in a denial of
the charges. He said he knew moth
ing of the money used by the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron company. Mrs.
Champion then offered to submit to
him documentary evidence in proof
of the charge that "murderers and
thugs released from penitentiaries
were given jobs by the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company and that while draw
ing pay as employees of the Rockefel-
Ter company they were in the militia"
Rockefeller refused to accept the
documents.

BUSINESS VS.. SENTIMENT

The Chicago Board of Education be-
gan preparations to enforce IT'S rule
against the Teachers Federation, aft
er it had let it be understood that it
would refrain, pending a court deci'
sion on injunction proceedings 1t
was necessary for the teachers attor-
ney to call the courts attention to the
matter to put a stop to the sending
out of pledge cards. The breach of
faith was not surprising. The uni
versal experience of all who have en-
tered fight against some privileged
interest is that these interests never
allow mere sentiment to endanger re
suits Privileged business and senti
ment have nothing in common.

WOMEN AND WAR
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox


Rather than breed strong sons, at
Wars behest.
Or bring fair daughters into life. to
bear
The pains Of travail for no end but
war,
Aye: let the race die out for lack of
babes;
Better race suicide than endless wars:
Better a silent world than noise of
guns
And clash of armies.
Give US, o men, your word that war
shall end,
Disarm the world and we will give
you sons,
Sons to construct, and daughters to
adOrn
A beautiful new earth where there
shall be
Fewer and finer people, opulence and
Opportunity and peace for all.
Until you promise peace no shrill
birth cry
Shall sound again upon the aging
earth.
We wait your answer.
