Pennsylvania and Free Speech.
a% (Wsterbury RepublicanD


 The appeal recently made by the PennsNiva nia state federation Of labor to the governor for action that would lead to the restoration of the rights of free speech and free assem- blage in the state is now acked by the church and sooia service com m ission of the Fed . eral Council of Churches of Christ in Am Arica.t In letter to Govern of Sproul Rev Worth M. Tippy, exeeu- tive secretary of dhe comm ission and a clerkynian of distin ion, says Tn various steel towns in the state of Pennsylvania the right Of a sse m bla ge and free speech, even within buildings, has been and is being denied by vari- ous authorities. The colt,eauences of such denial are to throw the force of the government on one side of an in dnstrial controversy, to discredit the institutions Of the United States among the immigrant workers and to weaken the leadership of those who seek need ed industrial change by constitutional m ethods,"
 This charge cannot be ignored It might be argued of the appeal made hy laboaE that it was a bit of prepa |, 461Ao x6,fAa niN sf shs afssA tnihsrs, {e AceeSS sSQft ta0. con ai6xetef H,,

TH!I WAt,t, FARLEY,

Notwithstanding that 1t was expect ed that the reopening of the wA-re discussion between the coal miners and operators would bring aaont some sort uf a settlement of the strik" that is now actually going on. though the government has froWned upon It. tn" miners have at last left Washington, expressing themselves as satisfied that no agreements may be reached. The | public now faces the ultimatum, run the mines or freeze.
 There has been further confusion 'n the Situation by the statement or profits as made public in Washington to the operators. It is extremely questionable whether there was any right to make these profits public they being computed from income tax returns which are considered in the nature of confidential documents. An Investigating committee, appointed by the authorities might have reache ed the same conclusion without a viola- tiun of confidence There is also the
 
 feeling that the enormous returns might have been the case only with one ot two mines not with the greater part of them, or might have exist ed being. run at a loss in other years. In setting a standard wage scale for all mines, the expense might run some of the ones which produce less for the amount of work done out of business. There is, undoubtedly, the sentim ent that the work CTS should partake in the profits Of those making a. great deal of money, but We may not saddle the few of the mines are too prosperous. If the government wishes to approxi- mate a just wage scale 1t will have to take into account the less productive richly. There may be a way of divid = ing up the profits of few to cover the loss Of others, in order that a uniform scale may he paid, but it ha s not been found.
 Our difficulty is being solved in a manner. in Kansas where recruits for working the mines have been sought with partial success. The pinch of need is greater in the west than 1t is in this section of the country. As it grows here, We must also help with the work, if we may. Coal. must be obtained, miners and operators not Withstanding. as cheaply as poss ble What is more. it will be when we are facing freezing as penalty for our indOlence.

There has always been som ething of polysamy. Only a handful of people, the Mormons, have ever tried it and they have been forced to give it up
 The terrible Turk has always in the American mind had a double indict- mant against him-his treatment of the Arm enian and his tendency to take unto himself more than one wife. Naw, however the candid American will, have to admit that the Turks ad- dlGtions to wives has one adNantage 1t enables. him, according to dispatch from Constanttnople, to meet the high cost of living in way ,that$the Am eri- can can't-by scuttns sdown on tho mum Der of his wives. r Even the sultan. says the jdispatch, has been forced 10 reduce the size tof his harem and vari- ous pashas lfo Ana erly wealthy, are also retren hing in,t thts respect n.@s

the rule. The minority has succeeded sufficiently because of our false sense of security. our ignorance and care lessness of what is facing us in .he immediate future Every man, woman and child should be losing not a chance to impress upon everyone with whom he comes in contact his belief in the character of Amerc:,n ton of the United States, his love Of the land which gave him birth and gives him living, limiting his posi- ton in life to his ability alone. A m militant policy must be adopted, must be concentrated upon and relieiously adhered to. Then and then only will the traitor to the land realize the i'm potence of his voice, the futility Of his actions and take up the healthful competition with the rest of ma nkind in the pursuit of liberty and happ- ness
 We have the greatest of faith that the most of us are Americans and that America wild live through the storm which is brewing. The violence of that storm may be aba ted by in telIigent action if the thing is not en- tirely aVerted. But the American people must abandon their supine- ness their willingness to see their traditions and customs abused even in the slightest manner. They must come forth from their shell Of in difference and stop this thing that is growing up within us because of our neglect of it, by the sheer weight of their opinion expressed in a heavier tone than the ones who make of bowling a profession. The mental assurance that all is well, what tever another says. must be dropped. Each of us becomes fighter in he trenches of Americanism or of terror ism, there shall be no quarter, given and none asked. Which side arg you on? It matters not, but tisht--and keep fighting in every way that occurs to you. The battle of America is on. Let us win it now.

"FARLOR HOISHEVISTS.

In the past few months the type does not deserve the name, but who has more money than brains and who adopts the tenets of the agitator for some reason known only to him self has been the center of attention in connection with the wave of Rol- shevism sweeping the land. It has been stated that. the propa ga nda funds, to be used as a means of American destruction. have been greatly augmented by the subscrip- tions of misled individuals of the de- scrihed class, whose Amercanism If it came to fatalities, would be un- questioned. For such friends of the radicals we can undertake no de- fense beyond assuming that they do not realize what they are doing and have lent attentive ears to the talk of some glib orator, of which there are many among our followers of Sovietism.
 George E. Chandler, in speaking before the Charter Oak Ad club on BolsheVik propaganda, made the re- mark that there were many families of old New England stock who might be termed "ParIor Bolshevists." He did not eiucidate in his succeeding phrases which. nevertheless. lived up | to the speaking reputation of the gentleman. For this reason we are unaware whether we are guilty of stealing his thoughts or not. Possibly we owe the gentleman an apology, possibly we are going further in our 1 contempIatio ton of what ma kes a Bol- | shevk than he intended to-
