DELAY GRANTED
IN union CASE
Suit for 100000 Damages
Indefinitely Postponed Upon
Motion Of Miners

FORT SMITH, Ark. Oct. 2S.-In
the United States court here, the suit
of the Pennsylvania Mining company
Of Scranton, Pennsylvania, against the
United Mine Workers of America and
two individual defendant officers Of
the organization. scheduled for trial
on Oct. 20, has been Indefinitely post
poned on motion of the defendants.
The plaintiff company seeks to recover
alleged damages of 100000 charging
that the defendants conspired to pre-
vent the operation of the company's
mine at Jamestown. Arkansas on the
open-shop basis.
This suit is similar to that brought
in this county by the Coronado Coal
company and the associated Bache-
Denman companies for alleged dam
ages resulting from the lockout Of
miners at Prairie Creek in 1914. The
plaintiffs in the Coronado case were
awarded a verdict Of 100000 against
the miners. The case was appealed to
the United States District court of
Appeals for rehearing, where it is
now pending. The verdict was sus-
tanned by the trial court some time
ago, after it had entered a remittur

LAWYER DECLARES HE
CAN'T DEFEND STRIKERS

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. so. - ".
NJ. McNair, an attorney, told the
senate committee that is investigating
the steel strike, that he was not al
lowed to see strikers after their ar
rest by Pittsburgh police or to con-
suit with them before their hearing.
The police had refused to give him
copies of the complaint, he said.
why didn't you, as attorney. de-
mand copies Of the complaints?' he
was asked.
well, then, I'd be thrown out, of
the magistrates court" McNair re-
piled.
Wholesale arrests of strikers were
being made by company watchmen
and deputized employees, the attorney
said, and they were fined and given
Jail sentences simply because they
were on strike.

BLAMING THE FOREIGNER.

We are hearing a great deal today
about foreign born workmen in
strikes. They are charged with
every crime in the industrial and
political decalogue. They comprise
the chief factors in the element of
unrest. They are being blamed for
all the strikes in the country, and
intelligence officers in the army de-
clare they are responsible for all the
plots against the government aud
government officials that it is said
have recently been unearthed.
If there is anything wrong in the
country blame foreigner for it.
That seems to be the slogan Blame
the foreigner. Of course the papers
are very careful not to blame the
packers for the high cost of food
stuffs. They are not saying anything
about profiteering or other causes
for the present unsettled state in the
country. Get the foreigner: he is
the fellow.
1t is getting to be habit with a
large number of so-called Americans
to Unfortunately attack all people
OF foreign birth because they cannot
see things as we do. We seldom
think of the background. We know
little of their early environment, and
we know less of the beautiful pic
ture painted to them in the old coun-
try of this "land Of the free and

GOADING LABOR,

A strike in America at this time
for the six-hour workday aud the
five-day week in the soft coal mines
is startling enough if we measure
the workday from q field on farm
where Gods free air is furnished
abundantly, or from a well-ventl-
lated workshop or factory where the
sun is permitted to perform it's great
air-purifying function. but we might
look at the question very much diff
ferently if we were compelled to
earn our bread at work down deep
in damp coal mine where poison
Gus, death-dealing gases have tend
ency to shorten ones days on earth.
Possibly the miners in their zeal
to protect their health made a tactful
blunder in asking for so much at
once, for their demands also include
a substantial increase in wages, but
that should not excuse the coal oper-
ators for refusing to make an offer
to the men. They cannot long get
away with the mere statement that
the union is violating it's contract,
for to all intents and purposes the
war is over and the contract has
expired. They are bound no longer
by government regulation in fixing
the price of coal. So far as that
feature OF it is concerned "tbe war
is over" to them. but when it comes
to dealing with their employees "the
war is still on and they are insist
ing that the contract runs to April,
1920
The newspapers. as in the steel
strike. are too ready 10 cast all the
blame on the union. Indeed they
are so eager to defeat all big stri'-es
and have labor continue at the same
old wage, that they are paying no
attention to profitearing or to the
high cost of living, soaring higher
every day.
Little censure has been given by
them to the employers at the late in
dustrial conference at Washington
for refusing to approve of collective
bargaining, which refusal resulted in
breaking up the conference and
throwing the country nearer to Boil
shevism than it has ever been before.
It begins to look as if the big en-
ployers are inviting clash with

head work to keep the labor move

day, more time for leisure and self
advancement outside Of the mills:
better homes and better home sur
rouudings, and 1t means more than
all else the end Of servility and the
recognition Of freedom and indie
pendence.
The steel magnates saw this sit
uation coming some years ago. They
would have gone to the Orient for
still cheaper labor had our 'immi-
grafton laws permitted the rice-eat-
ing yellow men to enter this country,
so the next best field to exploit was
in the south where the black man
had for so long been kept in political
and Industrial submission. They are
using the southern negro to carry
hem through this crisis, but he too
will soon see the light, and when
he does that will be the end of cheap
labor in American Industries.
The steel workers are holding out
splendidly against fearful odds.
They deserve to win, but whether
they win or lose, the strike will be
won. Garyism will be defeated, col
lective bargaining viii be recognized,
hours Of labor will be reduced. wages
will be raised and bad conditions
complained of will be improved. The
strike will serve its purpose although
credit for the victory may not be
given to Fitzpatrick, Foster and the
other brave leaders Of the men,
