AGAINST FED JUDGE
Wheeling, w. Va, Feb. 16.-United
Mine Workers testifying before the
congressional committee that is in
vestigating the record of Federal
Judge Aston G. Dayton charged:
That he showed prejudice and an
ger against union miners when he
tried them for contempt Of an injunc-
ton he issued against them.
That he showed a fTiendlier atti-
tide toward the witnesses of the
West Virginia & Pittsburgh Coal
Co., against which they were strik-
ing.
That he sent one union official to
jail partly for providing funds and
arranging for the defense of striking
miners who had been arrested.
That he Jailed Miss Fannie SeIlins,
union worker, because it was charged
in part she had provided relief to
strikers.
That he said that.if John P. White,
head of the United Mine Workers Of
America, was in cotrt he would send
him to jail for year, aICnough
White was not under arrest.
That a witness who could not
speak English was denied an inter-
prefer.
PLAN PENNY LUNCHES

These lunches are to be estab-
Hshed in ten schools where investiga-
tors found that many of the pupils
came to school hungry in the morn

A S22.51 taxicab bill was brought
to light at yesterdays meeting. It
was explained that the taxi carried

Let our great city get busy and
have bread lines or municipal res
taurants in different parts of the city
and have them open morning, noon

Municipal restaurants would not cost
much, for have no doubt that if the
city would operate them it would
find that practically all Of the restauT-
ants in Chicago would contribute
their left-overs.
The municipal restaurants could be
conducted by one or two salaried
men assisted by the patrons of the
bread line, and the only expense the
city would have would be rent, heat,
light and a few salaried employees

Cost OF tuberculosis,

New York, July, 16.-In a
pamphlet on What tuberculosis
Costs in Wages" the National AS
seciation for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis says that
an investigation of 500 cases in
Boston shows that these men lost
over S425, 600 in wages as result
of this disease.
To emphasize the need for action
on this question, the pamphlet
makes this point:
"Workingmen are always arous-
ed when an employer or a group
of employers suggest reduction
in wages. How many of the men
who read this article ever stop to
think of the enormous sums of
money they are losing in wages
every year due to one preventable
disease, tuberculosis >

WORLD OF LABOR

Unskilled workers at the Tilton-
vile, Ohio chemical plant struck
for wage increases, recognition of
their newly formed union and a
demand that intolerable working
conditions be improved. The wages
of these workers have ranged from
SLIGO to 81 a day. Organized
miners and other trade unionists
are assisting the strikers.
The Supreme Court of Connecti-
cut has ruled that the jurisdiction
of the Connecticut Workmen's Com
pensation Act is not limited to Con
necticut, even when the contract
between employer and employe is
entered into with the State. The
ruling was in the case of the wives
of two employees of the Thames
Towboat Company who lost their
lives when tug foundered off the
New Jersey coast. The company

the law.
Textile workers have won two
important strikes in Philadelphia.
At the Bradford mills, several hun :
dred of these workers were In
volved. Among the concessions
secured was the removal of the su-
perintendent who, the unionists de-
clare, had acted the part of tyrant
for several years, and who was the
principal cause of the strike. All
strikers have returned to work and
a new superintendent has been in
stalled. The strike of carpet
we AYERS at the c. M. Masland &
Sons mills has been settled. The
workers have secured 1O per cent

In the suit started by the De-

Some time last year Mr.. L. M.
Bowers of the Board of Directors
of Colorado Fuel ard Iron Com
pany wrote te John .. Rockefeller,
r.:
''You will be interested to know
that we have been able to secure
the cooperation of all the bankers
of the city, who have had three or
four interviews with our little COW
boy Governor, agreeing to back the
state and lend it all 10 the funds
necessary to maintain the militia
and afford ample protection so that
our miners could return TO work,
or give protection to men who are
anxious to come up here from
Texas, New Mexico, and Kansas,
together with some states further
east. Besides the bankers, the
Real Estate Exchange, together
with a great many of the best bu
siness men, have been urging the
Governor to take steps to drive
these vicious agitators out of the
state. Another mighty power has
been rounded up in behalf of the
operators by the gathering together
of fourteen of the editors OF the
N st important newspapers in Den
yer, Pueblo, Trinidad, Walsenburg
Colorado Springs, and other of the
larger places in the state. =
Is it not an indisputable infer
ence from this hilarious statement
to the dominating power In Colo
RADIO industries that these interests
were lined up for definite purpose?
The nature of the purpose became
evident in the pressure brought to
to bear upon the miners, forcing
them to return TO work for the
need of bread without having Sc
cured recognition for their rights
as free workers.
The purpose became more evil
dent later. The state legislators
among those whom Mr.. Bowers
had lined up passed law pro-
viding for an additional judge for
the third judicial district, Mr..
CRANKY Hillyer, who had been at
torney for the Colorado Fuel ard
Iron Csmpany and allied coal com
panies concerned in the strike, was
made the additional j. dge. 1t is
a we'll known fact that there was
not ordinarily sufficient business in
the old Third Judicial District to
require but one judg@. The un
derstanding was that Judge Hillyer
was to preside at the trials of strik-
ers.
In the petition for change of
venire that the miners filed before
him this spring, the charge was
made and supported by afidavits
that Judge Hillyer had been a
bitter partisan in the recent coal
strike, and had declared that the

of whom had been a Wyoming
cowboy, and was fugitive from
justice in that state. Another
group of witnesses declared they
had been hired to act as body
guards for the officers of the United
Mine Workers, but were after
wards revealed In their true identity
Baldwin Felts detectives willing to
kill for So or $4 day.
The court admitted as evidence
against Lawson, acts and declara-
tions of men and women outside of
his presence and without his sane
ton.
In the motion for re-trial, the
lawyers for Mr.. Lawson filed the
afldavits of three jurors to show
that the bailiff, Frank Gooden,
brought undue influence to bear on
Juror standing for acquittal to
force him TO agree to verdict
against Lawson. Bailiff Gooden
falsely represented to Hall that
Halls wife was dangerously III,
and also that the jury would be de-
pied food unless they agreed on a
verdict.
Does not this trial, or rather this
persecution, of John R Lawson
verify the statement of NJ r.
Bowers that steps had been taken
Ito drive these vicious agitators
out of the state2" What more ef-
fective method could have been
chosen than to put the leaders in
prison, aye in prizon for life?
Is it not evident that this part OF
deliberately planned and executed
scheme ID get rid of labor agitators
whose agitation would inevitably
result in greater freedom and JUS
I tice for the miners?
/ The organized labor movement
of America will not submit to this
manifest injustice and travesty OF
the rights of free men. And the
workers must bear In mind that
they will never have the rights OF
free men nor the opportunities oil
liberty until they assert their rights
and make their demands effective.
Their hope for the future lies in
economic organization. When that
is attained, opportunity for exer-
else of rights and necessary activi-
ties for self-betterment is made
possible.
Even the Rockefeller millions
can not block the irresistible power
of free workers who know their
rights and have an organization te
enforce them.
Organize, miners of Colorado,
and you can make effective your
/ protest against great injustice done
to John K. Lawson. You can res.
cue this faithful leaders from liv-
ing death The labor movement Of
America is with you, to support
your demands by cooperation and
affirmation. Liberty loving men
/ the country over will unite to right
this great wrong. Meet, protest
and demand that there shall not be
one law for Lawson and another
for Rockefeller and other Rookie
fellers even of another name.
Organize for freedom and Justice
