The political campaign is over. Ma.

have been placed in office by the pco-
pie Some were elected because they
believed in human rights and liberties,
some because of high or low tariff, and
others because of opposition to high
costs" or fear of low prices" and many
for other reasons. At any rate, the job
of selecting men for public office is
done.

incidents worthy of first note is that
Justice Hughes, who took part in the
Danbury Hatters' decision, has been. in
practical effect, recalled" from the Iu-
dicial bench as well as defeated for the
presidency.
1t is history that the American labor
movement in all organized departments
went on record for the reelection of
President Wilson. Without partisan
ship that was; and it was without par
tisanship that every member of the com
mittee on industrial relations. without
previous agreement as to concert of ac-
ton, was aligned on the same side. So
were certain other organized groups and
larger unorganiEed masses Of workers
and producers, such as farmers.
The vote of the nation simply con
firmed the lineup of forces whose gen.
eral views had been expressed before
the election. In addition TO the more
than eight million votes cast for Mr.
Wilson the approximately one million
votes cast by the morn radical groups,
such as Socialists, preferred Mr.. Wilson
to Mr.. Hughes,
The election and its results are of
notable Importance TO the progressive
and labor movements because. under
meath all superficial or purely local is
sues. the abiding issue had been clearly
defined between the one side of privi-
lege. with the control of government
and of economic power by the few. and
the other side of free enterprise by pro-
ducers. free action by trades workers,
and democracy in the control of gov
crument.

BY DANTE BARTON.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2l.-The full
membership of the committee on indus
trial relations has sent the following
telegram OF congratulation TO President
Wilson:
The committee on industrial relations
congratulates you and felicitates the ma
tion upon your splendid victory. The
result OF the election is the surest tes-
timony to the fundamental democracy
and social Justice of the American peo-
pie recorded in the last half century"
The re-electiou of President Wilson
leaves the way clear for organized Ia
hor and other progressive forces to work
out further the program of better in
dustrial justice which the first Wilson
administration had already done so much
to advance.
For the next six months or so, the
congressional and administrative instru-
ments of the labor and economic move
ment remain the same. After that, so
far rs the house of congress is con-
ccrned. there will be changes At this
writing il is not definitely known Just
what members of the present labor
group have been returned for the sue
cccding congress, or what new members
have been added to il. II is known,
however, that between the TWO MAJOR
parties there is very slight margin
OF numerical strength, and the balance
OF power seems to be with a small group
of progressive or radical representatives
II is known. too. that at least some of
the most valuable and independent of
the present labor group and its allies

USE OF CHECKMEN
TO UNION MINERS
Gain 500 Pounds Per Car in
One Southern Mine
Securing Pay for Work Done Insured
Only When Men Join Union and I
Act Together for Rights

The press during the past two months
has carried a number OF articles about
the coal miners joining the United Mine
Workers OF America, but little do the
people Of the state realize what this
means To the miners in the way OF Sc
curing for them full weight for all coal
mined" said District Secretary Ed. L.
Doyle. to The Bulletin representative.
A few days ago I visited the camp Of
Ramey. near Ludlow, and found that the
little band of men in that mine has
placed q checlSweighman upon the tipple.
Joseph Manual. the man elected to this
position. is a well educated young man
who has served in the navy with honor,
and who from all accounts is a natural
leader of men.
No sooner is the question of a check
weighman mentioned in that locality
than one hears such questions as: Have
YOU met the checkweighman at the
Ramey minet' DO You want to know
a man who sees that the men get their
correct weight Then if you go to
Ramey you will understand why these
men OF the mines are so proud OF the
work of their checkweiChman Going
into the hall one sees Bulletins tackled
on the wall showing the weights before
a checkweighman was elected and others
showing them after he was elected.
Il took the weights from bulletin
dated June -. 1915 tthis was before
the men organized and selected their
checllweighmanl. and found that out of
2l cars the average weight was 1893
pounds per car Then taking the weights
from n bulletin dated November IS,
1916, when the coal was weighed under
the watchful eve of Mr.. Manual, found
that out Of 2Ss cars that the average
car weighed 3.lsf pounds, or nearly a
500 pound gain on each car.
when il is known that the cost to
the small number Of miners in this mine
TO support the checkweighman is only
about $50 pounds of coal per day and
that in a DAYS work of ten cars the
miner gains 4,75O pounds after paying
hi portion OF the checlweighman's
wages. it can he readily seen what a
blessing the union is to these men and
why they never get tired of telling of
the good work of their checkweighman."

COAL COMPANY BASE SUIT =
UPON DANBURY DECISION
DEMAND HEAVY DAMAGES FROM
UNITED MINE WORKERS.
Precedent Established by Courts in Hat
ters' Case Bobs Up to Threaten
2,soo Pennsylvania Workman

The Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and
Coke company, whose mines are located
at Punxsutawney, Pa, has filed suit
against the members OF the local unions
OF the United Mine Workers, asking
damages on the grounds that $500 min
ers declared a strike, suspending opera
tion OF the mines. which strike, it is
alleged. violated the agreement which
was signed in Philadelphia on the 18th
OF last April. The officers OF the COM
pany in bringing the suit for DANA ges
against the members OF the local unions
OF the United Mine Workers. declare
that their suit for damages is based
upon the decisions in the Danbury Hat
ters' case.
1t has become evident that the decis-
ions Of the courts in the case of the
Danbury Hatters have furnished the
precedent by which the eNploiter hopes
to hold labor in subjection. The judg
ment which was rendered in favor OF
Ioewe 4 Co. after litigation in the
courts for \ number of years, seems
to have whetted the appetite OF hungry
and mercileSs eNploiters OF labor. and
if the decision in the Danbury Hatters'
case shall still remain as a precedent,
thru which employers. on the grounds
of a strike. can obtain damages regard
less OF the Clayton act, then labor has
no potent weapon by which an oppres-
Sive employer may be brought to q
realization that the workers have some
rights which even the captains OF in
dustry shall and must respect.

There was no hint of strike, in the
event the railroads succeed in tying up
the operation OF the Adamson law, made
in any OF the speeches.
But the time has come, Stone said,
when the railroads are on the defensive,
instead of labor, and he declared. I'VE
have great faith that the man in the
White House will see that We get what
was given us voluntarily"
Stone accused the railroads of seeking
to bankrupt labor by starting three
thousand injunction suits thruout the
country.
They thought" said Stone, that We
should have TO hire 5000 lawyers to con-
test these suits. But we're going to
fool 'em. We're going TO watch the
railroads fight the government under
which they live"
Organized labor, Stone said, stands
united in this crisis, and the 500 dele
gates yelled their approval.
Our interests are common" he de-
clared. The time has long since passed
when one class Of labor can succeed If
other classes are not succeeding"
