Backyard" Plane
IS Here, Is Belief

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 81. - Officials
at the McCook Aviation Field, near
here, announce that successful tests
have been made with reversible air
plane propeller, invented by Seth
Hart, of Los Angeles. They say the
day of the backyard" airplane has
arrived. BY creating resistance to
the gliding force of an airplane when
it lands, the invention will enable
flying machines to come to a full
stop within SO feet of the point
where they first touch the earth in
landing. 1t is also said the device
increases the climbing ability of an
airplane 40 per cent and makes pos
sible an altitude of $4,000 feet.

Two men high in the government
during the war have recently made
statements reflecting upon the integ-
rity Of the trade union movement
which, their own experience with la
Dor during the war should have taught
them were untrue. These men were
William C. Redfield. former secre-
tary of commerce, and Charles Piez,
formerly of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration.
Mr.. Piez is most extreme in his
statement. At meeting Of the Amer
ican Mining Congress he said: .
"At this time organized labor is
stronger in mem bership and stronger
in solidarity then ever before in it's
history. There is evident in It's
method and its aims none of the care
and consideration that should attend
the exercise Of great power. 1t has
thrown, caution to- the winds, and is
prepared to wreck the state itself in
its blind intent to follow the course
laid by radicalism.' -s. i 1 :

the proof and if he doesn't know it
he should make no such statement.
AS a matter of fact, great part II
the energy Of the trade movement to-
day is expended in fighting that de-
structive philosophy which has crept
in among us to undermine our insti-
tutiOns.
Mr.. Herbert Hoover, who ought to
know something about his subject,
points out that the trade union were
mainly responsible for diving Bella
Kun's Bolshevist government out of
Hungary. Upon the collapse Of, the

Former President Warns En-.
p|oyers That Courts May
Be Held in Contempt.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.--William H.
Taft warns employers that the coal
miners refusal to obey an injunction
judge and return to work contains a
lesson that should not be overlooked.
The ex-president is considered an au-
thority on labor injunctions and he
knows If the game is played too strong
other workers will adopt the miners
course, and then, instead of strikers
being In contempt of court, the courts
will find themselves in. contempt be-
cause of their usurpation So Mr.. Taft
gives this advice.
1.-The usefulness of the injunction in
the coal strike should not mislead re-
dictionary employers into the belief
that it is a panacea for labor troubles.
Labor troubles are not to be pernan-
emily solved in any such way. Govern
ment Of the relations between capital
and labor by injunction is solecism.
It is an absurdity. Injunctions in la
Dor troubles are merely the emergency
brakes for rare use and in case Of
sudden danger. Frequent application
of them would shake to pieces the

Goal Owners Give Evefy;Reason
Excep Real 0ne---They

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec 4.-Coal
owners have found new reason why
the miners have not obeyed Judge
Anderson's order to go back to work
It is now discovered that the state
ment issued by officers of the United
Mine Workers, that the Strike order
is rescinded, did not bear the seal of
the union.
AS result, 100000 miners are idle.
This plot was exposed in speech in
this city by: George H. Gushing, of the
American Wholesale Coal association.
Mr.. Cushing was Indignant at the
manner in which trustful Injunction
Judge Anderson was fooled, and the
speaker declared that the announce
nent forwarded by the union Off
cials was trick to deceive our fed
eral courts" Mr.. Cushing's claim is
worked overtime by the desperate coal
owners, who will seize upon any rea-
son but the real one. .....
The miners, however, do not seem
to be interested in this detail and are
refusing to return to work until they
have satisfactory agreement.

Opposes Arbitration

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-In replay
to queries by a New York newspaper
regarding compulsory arbitration, la
boris right to strike and the public's
inconvenience in times of strike, Pres
ident Gonapers asks:
"Is it fair to assume that you have
never heard of lockouts by employ
ers, or the victimization or the black
listing of workmen or a starvation
policy to force workers to the en-
ployers will?"
when the employers in an industry
increase prices nationwide" said
President Gompers, "there is only per-
functory protest from the public. But
when working man asks for a suffi-
cient wage to support a family and
bring a little JOY into the lives of his
loved ones, the cry goes up that it is
un-American, disloyal and every slight
is hurled at him
"A workingman must convince his
employer that he is entitled to an ad-
vance in wages. This can be done
only by negotiation, with the right to
strike as a leverage and a last resort.
If the latter, the public steps in and
joins the employer in denouncing the
strikers. This is because the public
must give up some of its many COM
forts.
"Why should the wage Garner work
for less than living wages, which he
would have to do if he could not
strike? The worker is expected to
continue to work at whatever wages
his employer is willing to give him in
order to save the public from incon-
venience. The employer is always
right; the employ always wrong, in
the eyes aof the misinformed public.
! :" What is to confine the future de-
mands Of labor within the bounds Of
j,lstice and reason?' you ask. What
are the bounds of reason ana Justice
when applied to a workers wages? Is
he not entitled to have something to
say as to what they shall be? Should
he submit his case to the general pub
lie for a decision when he knows the

=; Tabor is always ready to meet his
employers half way: The employers
refuse to go that far in adjusting dis
putes unless faced by a strike. The

'Pedagogic paternalism!" That's

Why he should rule that coal miners
