SUPPORTS UNIONIST

New York-Opposition to the New
York state constitution, which will be
voted on next month, is recorded by
former Chief Judge Edgar M. Cullen
OF the court of errors and appeals, the
highest court in this state. Judge Cul-
len supports the trade union move
ment in its opposition to some sec
tions of the new constitution and
shows that in the present constitution
the safety of the civilian population
is protected, as it is in the constitu-
ton OF the United States, by pro-
vision in the bill of rights that mo
military tribunal shall exercise juris-
diction over a civilian unless engaged

the regularly constituted state courts
are open to administer Justice
This clause is eliminated from the
new constitution, which, however,
carefully continues all the old powers
and provisions for the declaration of
martial law in case of riots or dis

Discuss Cancellation Act Adopt Eight Hour Day

Vancouver, British Colunlbia-By
vote of 81 to IS the convention of
the Trades and Labor Congress of
Canada refused to ask the Dominion
government to repeal the industrial
disputes act, which provides for con-
citation and arbitration in public util-
ity disputes. Without exception, coal
miner delegates were opposed to the
bill on the ground that no award has
been satisfactory to them. Vancouver
street car mems delegates were in
structed to oppose the bill. Other
delegates recorded their opposition to
the act, but the majority did not favor
drastic action, and in view of pending
amendments to the bill, the convention
adopted the following resolution:
"That the matter of the industrial
disputes act be referred to the execu-
tive council of the congress with in
structions to secure the necessary in
terpretations from competent counsel
and that when the new act comes be-
fore the house the executive council
authorized to bring to Ottawa such
officers as it deems necessary to as
sist in combating the objectionable
and supporting favorable amend
ments."

orders which the civil authorities are
deemed powerless to curb.
Judge Cullen shows that under the
proposed constitution it would not be
sufficient excuse for an accused man
to show that he had been absent from
the scene of rioting if the military
powers merely proved that he had
aided and abetted those guilty Of vio-
lence."
Under these rules of law" says
Judge Cullen, 'in case of riot in
Buffalo, man may be taken from
Brooklyn or New York before mill
tary commission on the charge that he
has aided the rioters and shot if the
commission sees fit to order it"
The claim that the new constitution
will provide greater efficiency in the
conduct of state affairs is answered by
Judge Cullen with the claim that "ef-
ficiency may be bought at too great
price, and such is the case when it is
purchased at the expense of civil lib
erty."

WANTS ARMoR FOR WORKERS

Medina, Pa-Judge Broomall be-
lieves that foundry companies should
provide their employees with suits of
armor when there is danger from fly
ing pieces of iron. The court ex-
pressed this opinion in damage suit
brought by Philip Mccarthy against
the Federal Steel Foundry company.
Plaintiff was employed in breaking
scrap iron at the foundry and was in
jured by flying piece of metal.

THESUBMARINESFAIL
Marcus Day Writes Of Collapse Of This Branch
Of Naval Warfare in Great Conflict

While there has been much noise
aout the submarine and its possible
revolutionizing of naval warfare there
has been nothing as yet to denote its
effectiveness in large operations. Ger
many carried on submarine operations
for eleven months or over and is NOT
as near her goal of domination of the
sea as she was in at the beginning.
Great Britain and France can never
be subdued by the piking policy of
sinking fishing smacks and merchant
vessels because there are too many
pitfalls for the submarine and it is
getting increasingly difficult to oper-
ate them.
There are many more possibilities in
the aeroplane as an offenive weapon
OF naval warfare as we'll as land op-
erations. The submersible travels at
a little over ten-miles an hour-the
aeroplane at over a hundred. The
aviator can see the enemy from a long
distance and attack him from above
the submarine is practically sightIess
until within torpedo range and the
chances are always against it making
a successful operation against war
ships that have aeroplane scouts to
pilot them. The United States Ad-
has pronounced the submarine

Deputies Want Pay

Des Moines, Iowa-The state SUI
preme court is called upon to decide
whether Muscatine shall pay $1,000 for
the services of the numerous Chicago
strike deputies imported into that city
during the strike of button workers
several years ago. The Muscatine
board of supervisors was enjoined
from paying the bill and the decision
is appealed to the supreme court. OPP
ponents of the bill declare that because
the strike deputies were not residents
of the state that they could not act as
officers and that their bill. therefore,
is illegal.

Living Wage Demanded

Racine, Wis.-Discussing dividends
of the Pullman company, the Racine
Call says:
1T is a noteworthy fact that the
mammoth earnings of the Pullman
company have been made by the capi-
talization of its employees ability to
secure gratuities from its customers in
sufficient amount to make their salary
a mere matter of formality.
pullman employees live on their
tips, not on what the Pullman COM
pany pays them, for the amount is so
insignificant as to render that feat inn
possible.
"In addition to paying the Pullman
company for the use of its cars the
travelling public through the tipping
system is made to contribute very
large proportion of its payroll.
at is becoming evident OF late that
the people are getting tired of such
system and will either demand that the
charge for Pullman accommodations
be reduced so as to allow for tip TO
the porter or that the tip be eliminated
and the porter paid wage on which
he can live. The system as It stands
-
is un-American and vicious and the
light thrown on it BY the report Of the
industrial relations commission should
have a beneficial effect in securing

evils which are now peculiar TO this

Will Operators Plan Fail.

Denver-Is the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company convinced that its plan
to railroad striking miners to Jail will
fail?
Does the company hope to strength
en- the Rockefeller union" by aban-
doning its efforts to prosecute mem
hers of the United Mines Workers
union?
Hundreds of unionists in southern
Colorado are now under indictment,
awaiting trial on various charges.
President Welborn is quoted in the
press as declaring that his company
"will welcome an amnesty" regarding
these alleged offenses. Mr.. Welborn
and his associates, it is stated, have
advised the state authorities that Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron would not be adj
verse to the dismissal of ali cases
against former strikers, Except where
evidence of guilt was exceptionally
strong"
While unionists look upon this state-
ment as significant they are deter
mined to continue their fight until the
last union miner is accorded justice.
They are determined not to permit the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company, or
its representatives in high places, to
decide what evidence is especially
strong" The workers declare they
will shield no law-brea<er, but every
man must be given a fair trial, instead
of the kind accorded John R. Lawson.

ON KILLING OF MITCHELL

a failure and the evidence SO far has
led many experts all over the world
to coincide with this opinion. Some
OF the sharpest criticism of the sub
marine comes from Germany-the
country who has banked all of its ma
val operations apparently on this
branch of warfare and is probable as
well fitted to make it success, if sue
cess were possible, as any nation in
the world. Germany's submarine war
fare has been conspicuous failure
at essential destruction and it has cost
her the respect of the whole neutral
world, and as they are practical
people, it is not unlikely that it will be
abandoned for some other policy that
offers results compatible with the ex-
penditure of life and property made in
evitable by the operation of under-sea
boats, which are notoriously danger
GUS and cause the death of hundreds
of sailors from gases and other Incl
dental mishaps in their operation.
Had Germany expended the same
surplus energy in manufacturing aero
planes and training men in their oper--
ations they would have had COM
manding position in this effective and
proven branch of warfare.

A Bill of Rights

New York is the only state whose
constitution does not say that the mill
tary shall always be subordinate to the
civil power.
Trials by military judges have not
become notorious in New York as
they have in West Virginia and Colo
RADIO, but the danger is always at hand.
That is the reason for the unpopular
ity of the state militia among labor
men. They feel that the National
Guard is used too often against them
during strikes. The state militia in
their opinion is often partisan indus
trial weapon.
When the delegates were writing a
new constitution for New York it was
proposed to remedy this defect, to
say in plain words that the civil power
was superior to the military. The fol-
lowing paragraph was proposed:
Nor shall any military tribunal ex-
ercise jurisdiction over a civilian, un-
less engaged in military and naval
service, while the regularly consti-
tuted state courts are open to admin
lister justice.
1t was voted down by vote of 65
to so. In doing that the delegates
showed that they were less alive than
were their predecessors of a century
and quarter ago.
Military or Civil Judges?
Former Chief Justice Edward NJ
Cullen OF the New York Court of Ap-
peals came out against the new con-
stitution, because the delegates re-
fused to live up to the ancient bill of
rights. Now labor has gotten into the
game A conference of labor leaders
was held at Albany for the purpose
of fighting the constitution.
Labor is in favor of woman suf-
frage, and so there was a conflict.
Meetings are being held over the state
to bring out big opposition. The
fight may hurt the suffrage vote, al
though great effort is being made to
get the men to discriminate between
the good and the ad things in the con-
stitution.
The New York World says that la
Dor is not the only section of the pop
ulation which needs the protection of
bill of rights. In Mexico the mill
tary power is supreme In the United
States we have legal government
Surely this is no time to say directly
or by omission that we prefer military
to judicial rule.

Chicago Herald a remarkable depart
ment entitled The Guide Post in which
he daily comments upon matters OF
vital interest. In the issue of the 9TH
inst, we note he deals with subjects
concerning the welfare of the workers
and take great pleasure in repro
ducing the same as showing the pres
ent trend of publicity in favor of la
boris cause:
Some years ago member of dis
tinguished Boston family introduced
himself to Judge Ebert II. Gary of the
United States Steel Corporation as "a
dam fool small stockholder."
That man was Charles M. Cabot,
who died few weeks ago. Mr.. Cabot
was one of the first of his particular
sort OF dam fool small stockholder." !"
He had the right kind of New England
conscience and he. applied it even to
the property of which he owned a
very small part. The Pittsburgh Sur
vey aroused Mr.. Cabot. A squalid
group of homes called Painters Row
belonged to the steel corporation
Among other horrors, an old pump
supplied the drinking water for the
5o8 people who lived in the row. One
of the apartments was 800 PAGES away
from the water supply and seventy
five steps above it. Others were OPP
pressively distant.
AS stockholder Mr.. Cabot was
concerned He got busy on the in
side and brought about change. That
gave him a start on the entire indus
trial problem. He subscribed a fund
which enabled the Survey to send
John A. Fitch on an investigation OF
steel centers in Alabama, New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Colorado.
Moreover, he kept up his own agita-
tion.

GUS processes. Mr.. Cabot found that
the managers had been thinking about
the processes, but not about the men.
AS a result l2-hour day and 7-day
week was in vogue He campaigned
for one days rest in seven and won.
Then he attacked the 12-hour sched-
ule. He sent out an article on the
12-hour day to $4,000 stockholders OF
the corporation. The answers he OBJ
tanned are said to have been few but
significant. Sixteen per cent didn't
commit themselves. Thirty-six per
cent were unfayorable to an S-hour
day, the only alternative to the IL
hour shift in the steel mills. Fo rty-
eight per cent asked for a reduction
in hours. That in itself reveals how
fundamentally decent are the instincts
of the larger section in any group.
For Industrial Freedom
He did not win the 8-hour fight.
The corporation said that it could not
paw for three shifts while the inde-
pendents paid for only two. SO that
matter stands. But he didn't stop.

THE FUTURE TO RUSSIA.

Whatever may happen to the other
nations whose swords are crossed in
the great conflict that is now wag-
ing, no one expects that the destiny
of the colossus of the north will be
seriously interfered with. France
may be oyerrun or similar fate
may oyertake Germany; Austria
may disappear from the map or the
British empire may be broken up;
but between Russia and any great
harm still lie those impenetrable
spaces where the armies of Napoleon
lilo buried-those armies that Eu-
rope has not forgotten. When the
swords that are now clashing are put
up and the game is over, Germany
and Austria or England and France
may divide the present, but the fu-
ture belongs TO Russia.-Century.
