Urged to Restore Rights

New York A commission repre-
senting the Federal Council Of the
Churches of Christ in America has
called upon Governor Sproul to re-
store the right of assemblage and
free speech in western Pennsylvania.
"In various steel towns i'll the state
of Pennsylvania" say the church
men, "the right of assemblage and
free speech, even within buildings, has
been and is being denied by various
authorities. The consequences Of such
denial are to throw the force Of the
government on one side of an indus
trial controversy, to discredit the in
stitutions of the United States among
immigrant workers, and to weaken
the leadership of those who seek
aeded industrial changes by consti-
ltional methods.
even in the dangers Of war time,
ne federal council of churches de-
Jared that the abuse of free speech is
not so dangerous as it's suppression.
We, therefore, believe that the gov
ernor of the state of Pennsylvania
should take early action to hear pub
licly all testimony concerning the
suppression of the right of assem-
blage and free speech, to take what
ever steps are necessary to secure
that right to all citizens, and if it
shall appear that any officials have
deprived the people of their constitu-
tional rights, to take due steps for
their removal from office"

LABOR NOTES
Labor Party to ReoroanIze.

Recent victories of the labor candi-
dates in the Ontario elections have
given great flip to the independent
labor party in Canada. While it has
been in existence for a few years, it
has taken little or no part in politics,
but at recent meeting it was decided
to reorganize the party, and 400 men
made application for admission. An
additional 1000 application cards have
been distributed among labor unions
in the city. Permanent quarters are
to be obtained and the organization
is preparing to enter the fields of
municipal, provincial and federal cleo
tons.

PAYING THE PIPER

During the great war, which ended
with the armistice of November IL,
1918, Uncle Sam spent his money like
a drunken sailor just landed after a
long voyage. Millions of dollars were
mere bagatelles. The new billion
standard became the measure by
which the expenses of the Govern
ment were regulated. Now that Uncle
Sam is SOLDERING up after his war
spree, he is beginning to realize the
character of the cost of the aforesaid
spree. Secretary of the Treasury
Glass, on the opening of the regular
session of Congress on December A,
presented a report such as none of
his predecessors in office ever COM
piled. The huge sum of five billion
dollars is required for conducting the
peace-time activities of the Govern
ment during the next fiscal year.
This means that it will cost five
times as much to conduct the Gov
ernment as it did before the country
was plunged into the European War.
The yearly interest on the war debt
alone calls for an appropriation of
SLOT, 100000 When the war bills
were the subject Of discussion in
Congress it was predicted by some
members of Congress that the present
generation would never again see the
Government conducted at an expense
less than four billion dollars a year.
The report of Secretary Glass shows
that there is every likelihood of this
prediction being verified. 1t would
be utterly useless to try to convey
an idea of what billion means. The
best way of impressing the reader
with the immensity of the annual
sum every one Of US will have to help
pay is to compare it with the cost of
the Civil War.
After four years Of that war the
United States found itself burdened
with a national debt Of three billion
dollars. Two billions, or two-thirds
of the total debt, had been liquidated
in the fifty-two years which inter-
vened between Appomattox and that
Good Friday in 1917 when Congress
declared war against Germany. This
statement will give US an idea of the
| H-nynfn1 lan1 fIoiC will
have to bear as a consequence Of our
participation in the greatest of wars.
Five billion dollars, or one and two
thirds of the cost Of the Civil War
paid out for running the Government
for one year! This should have a
SOLDERING effect upon the American
people and upon their official repre-
sentatives in Congress.
We have advanced four billion dol
lars to England in the form of loan
and some six billion dollars to other
European powers. 1t is well known
that Europe is reeling on the brink
of universal bankruptcy. If it plunges
headlong into the financial abyss,
every American dollar lent to it will
be lost. One need not be a prophet
to predict in all confidence what will
follow such a financial catastrophe.
The financial panics of the past will
pale into utter insignifcance COM
pared with the one which will sweep
the land if Europe becomes bankrupt.
That, hewever, is a possibility which
may never become reality. What is
certain is that those five billions a
year must be paid out of taxes levied,
directly or indirectly, upon every
household and upon every business
enterprise in the land. We are GER
tainly paying dearly for our war ex-
perience.

THEORY OF GENERAL CON-
SPIRACY" is UPSET

Philippi, w. Va. = Federal Judge
Dayton, known to trade unionists as
an injunction judge, has made a
surprising decision in the case of the
Eagle Glass company versus men,
bers of the Flint Glass Workers union
He has upset the general con-
spiracy" theory that is frequently
used against trade unionists, and rules
that a member of a union can not be
held for the unlawful act of an Of
ficer of the union, unless the membcl
was a direct party thereto. The un-
lawful act Judge Dayton had in mind
was a violation of one of his injLnc-
tions. The court held that because
members pay dues to the union, part
of which pay the salary of the officer
charged with wrong doing, does not
in itself make the member liable when
his representative commits an illegal
act.
The decision marks the end of long
litigation that started several years
ago when Judge Dayton issued an in
junction against national officers OF
the Flint Glass Workers union at the
request of the Eagle Glass company
of Wellsburg, this state. The COM
pany forced it's employees to sign in
dividual contracts that they would not
ioin a union while in the employ OF
the glass concern. Later some Of the
employees discussed unionism with
representatives of the Flint Glass
Workers union and the latter were
enjoined by Judge Dayton.
The federal court of appeals set
aside the injunction, but on appeal to
the United States supreme court
Judge Dayton was upheld and the
case remanded back to his court fol
trial.
Officers of the Flint Glass Work
ers' union remained outside of Judge
Dayton's jurisdiction and it was i'm
possible to serve them with the writ
which was finally served on eight
members of the union who live in
Steubenville, across the Ohio river
and who work in Wellsburg, W. Va.
in union plant.
These men were never associated
with the attempt to unionlze the
Eagle plant, but the company insisted
that as they were members of the
union they were parties to this gen
eral conspiracy" Judge Dayton held
that the company must show ir detail
how the defendants attempted to in
duce the Eagle employees to break
their contracts. AS this was impos-
sible, the Flints were discharged.
The decision does not effect the in
dividual contracts, which have beer
upheld by the United States supreme
court, nor does it indicate that Judge
Dayton has less faith in labor injunc-
tions, but it does sustain organized
labor's opposition to the general
conspiracy" theory. The extent tc
which this theory can be applied is
shown in a case against the United
Mine Workers now pending in the
United States supreme court. In this
case the federal courts have success
sively ruled that every member Of the
United Mine Workers, regardless OF
his location in the United States, is
party to the destruction of certain
Arkansas mines several years ago
during a strike of miners. The coal
owners sued for 100000 under the
Sherman antitrust act and secured
triple damages. The general con-
spiracy" theory is applied al.d every
member of the United Mine Workers
regardless of where he lives, is hell
liable.
