PERJURY NOT ILLEGAL"
IN THE STATE OF OHIO

In Ohio a witness before a grand
jury no longer enjoys immunity
from punishment for perjury
The State Supreme Court has tax
en- from Grand Jury witnesses the
protection against perjury which
they formerly enjoyed.
In 1915 a Grand Jury at Busy
rus, this State. indicted Vincent
Kintz on a larceny charge on testi-
money furnished by Thomas Har-
riger KNIT was acquitted on trial
and then sued Harriger for damag-
es. He was awarded $500 on the
ground that Harriger's testimony
before the Grand Jury was know
ingIy false and malicious The
Court Of Appeals reversed this de-
cision on the ground that false
evidence Of a witness before a
Grand Jury is privileged com
munication, and will not form the
basis of an action for damages, not
withstandiug the falsity was known
to the witness, and that he wac
actuated by malice when testify
ing, provided such evidence was
relevant 70 the matter concerning
which the witness 50 testified"
On the legal theory that for ev-
cry wrong there must be a rene
dy, KiuJz appealed TO the State SUI
preme Court. which has unanimous
Ivy set aside the verdict of the Court
OF Appeals, and has altered the set
tied law which has protected
Grand Jury witnesses to the full
est extent.
While still permitting a Grand
Jury witness to tell in secrecy all
that he believes to be true, even
though he may unknowingly falsi-
fy the State Supreme Court has
torn away the protection against
an action for civil damages shield

ing to this protest, Governor Sproul
said:
II shall be glad to urge upon
influential friends of the Mayor
that they confer with him and try
to convince him that his po-
sition in this matter is entirely
unwise, to say the least"
This attitude of the Governor
was disagreed to by Secretary Nor
rison, who replied:

you will accept organized labor
insistence that the method you
propose is not sufficient action
against this denial of a fundamen-
tai right guaranteed the citizens
of Pennsylvania, as we'll as all 9TH

IF the enforcement of a guaran-
teed right, or, in fact, of any law,
is to depend upon influence, or,
what is popularity referred to as
pulls other classes naturally
would accept the same procedure
with the result that the anarchy
now existing in the office of the
Mayor of McKeesport would re-
place the theory of equality before
the law upon which our American
ism rests.
THAT the McKeesport wrong and
the solution you propose may not
prevail, | respectfully ask that the
proper state officials of Pennsyl-
vania, take such immediate action
as will re-establish American prin-
ciples in McKeesport.

ALIEN LANDLORO|SM
running PORTO RICO

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Mar. 8.
A defiance of Porto Ricos basic
law, adopted by the United States
Congress, is responsible for the
alien landlordism that has plung-
ed this island in misery, declares
Santiago Iglesias, member of the
Porto Rico Senate and A. f. of l..
Organizer.
In 1900 Congress inserted this
provision in Porto Rico's first or
ganic act:
"No corporation shall be author
lied to conduct the business of
buying and selling real estate or be
permitted to hold or own real es-
tate except such as may be reason
ably necessary to enable it to carry
out the purposes for which it was
created, and every corporation
hereafter authorized to engage in
agricuie---. shall by it's charter be
restricted to the ownership and
control or of not exceeding 500
acres of land"
It is now charged that the Mill
tary Burvu of Insular Affairs at
Washington, under General McIn-
tyre, has permitted a fragrant vio-
lation of this provision with the re-
suit that ATT individuals and part
nerships from the United States,
Spain, France and other countries
own 766,396 acres of land. The
value of this land and other prop
erty is estimated at over S165, 000,-
600, about two-thirds of the tax
able property OF the island. The
taxes these ATT parties pay Is about
one-half of the value of their prop
erty.
Regarding the difference be-
tween the varieties of landlordism,
says Iglesias. whether alien or
domestic, 1t may be said that I'M
der the alien system the money
paid In rent, or in other ways, goes
out of the island, and thus the alb
sentees control the domestic none
tary circulation, the prices OF all
property and the wealth created by
labor"
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1919-03-14

men will not accept the form foi
the substance. but they will accept
the form when they are convinced
that the motives, purposes and
methods of the personnel are sin
cere and honest.
Labor arbitration is not self-ef-
fective. Its proceeding should not
be conducted too rigidly.
The failure of arbitration in many
labor cases can be traced to the
manner in which cases have been
heard, and the insistence of arbi-
traitors that the procedure of civil
courts be followed in the hearings.
The men who present these cases
are not lawyers. As a rule, they
have little knowledge of legal
methods. But they do know the big
question, and they will not permit
the chief purpose of the arbitration
court to be smothered in maze of
technical observances.
When the issues are clouded in
such manner. the workmen be-
come embittered and their faith in
arbitration as a solution of labor
problems dies.
An arbitration court must have
the confidence of its pleaders. If
it lacks that, it is worse than use
/ less.

u. S. LEGISLATION
URGED BY A. F. OF |.

WASHINGTON, March 3.--In a
circular to all National and Inter
national Unions and all unions af-
filiated with the A. f. of L., Frank
Morrison, Secretary of the A. F.
of L., urges organized labor to ask
their Senators and Congressman to
support the following remedial leg
islation;
Appropriate funds to complete
all public improvements authorized
by Congress. which have been post
poned because of the war.
Prohibit immigration to this
country until the soldiers, sailors
and war workers have secured sus-
tanning employment.
Provide monthly salary for the
discharged soldiers and sailors
equal to the amount received while
in the service, to be continued for
period not to exceed IL months,
if suitable employment is not Sc
cured within that time.
Appropriate a sufficient sum of
money to purchase land that can
be drained, irrigated or stumped,
and develop government-owned land
in the same manner, this land to
be sold to soldiers, sailors, war
workers and others on long-term
payments, and to provide means
whereby loans can be made to each
purchaser to erect buildings, pur-
chase necessary machinery and
seed, which will enable him to raise
the first crop.
Generally speaking" the circu-
lar states, ut is the history of Con-
gress that no legislation is passed
unless an insistent demand is made
by constituents of Senators and Rep
resentatives.
Kindly furnish me with the num-
Der of members of your craft or
calling who are now unemployed,
and advise me as to the outlook for
unemployment during the next
three months.
Furnish me with the names of
all firms or companies that have
laid off their employees, and partic-
ularly the names of those firms and
companies that endeavored to hire
them back at a lower wage, or at
longer hours, or both.
The necessity for immediate &C
ton on the above matters is most
urgent, for in this after-war period
the trade union movement must APP
ply the same energy and intelli
gence that was sucn a paramount
factor in bringing the war to sue
cessful close

tons.
THE entrance of any free nation
into the league of free peoples of

vindictive purposes or deliberate de-
sire to injure, but to right manifest

small nations and of the principle
no people must be forced under a
sovereignty under which it does not
wish to live.
mo territorial changes or ad-
justln.:.ts of power except in the
welfare of the peoples affected and
in the furtherance of world peace.
THAT in law and in practice the
;'inciple shall be recognized that
the labor of a human being is not
a commodity or an article of COM
merce.
