WHEN THE LAW GOES CRAZY.

Chicago newspapers see through

just now. A strike of coal teamsters
that netted them so cents day in
crease in wages got all the papers
crazy. Even Gov. Lowden lost bis
head and showed his teeth-and like
wise his hand His policy was an
nounced by the president of a coal
company, who told why the adjutant-
general was in Chicago looking over
the situation-with a view to calling
out the militia. Every newspaper in
town knew that. the governor
couldn't send the militia into Chi
cago as strikebreakers unless called
upon for help by the mayor of Chi
cago or the sheriff of Cook county.
And Mayor Thompson Numbered out
an order for the police to round up
the president of the union and bring
him in. For what? What crime had
Booth committed? What right had
the mayor to order policemen to
''bring him in? No right at all ex-
cept the right Of might.
Yet the newspapers said nothing
about the lawlessness proposed for
the governor or by the mayor. They
merely raved about teamsters who
forced a 5O-cent raise in wages
which would add less than cents to
the cost of a ton Of coal delivered.
Coal has mounted higher and high

from the field to Chicago-for there
has been no increase Of miners
wages and no increase in freight
rates. Less than 5 cents ton can
be added to cost because Of the in
creased wages to teamsters.
What have the governor, the may
or or the newspapers done about
that? What have they done to re-

the coal barons or the railroads?
Nothing. Yet all Of them threw fit
and rushed to the rescue Of the coal

It's no crime, evidently, for coal
