COsSaCkS Riot at Funeral

Braddock, Pa.-State cossacks have
found new way to start riot. The
Daily Herald tells this story while
attempting to excuse the outrage:
Estate troopers, squirting their
horses in to a procession of march
ing men in Braddock avenue, near
George street, at 9 o'clock this morn
ing, broke up a threatening demon
stration by strikers. The crowd,
which was dispersed, was estimated
at 400 men. They fled in all 1irec-
tions, disappearing up alleys, into
houses and over fences.
"The procession had formed in The
rear of funeral cortege which was
moving to SS. Peter and Paul Greek
Catholic church, in George street.
police said. The state troopers were
Immediately notified and changed
down Braddock avenue. The galloo-
ing horses swept into the crowd
hurting men right and left AMI caus-
ing scores to flee for their lives.
Within few minutes the attempted
parade had vanished"

most expensive advertising campaign
ever undertaken by any special in
terest in this country.
In order that the most satisfactory
results may be obtained, they have
organized a corporation to place the
contracts with the newspapers Of the
country. The corporation is known
as the Thomas F. Logan Advertising
Company. 1t has its headquarters in
New York, and it has already placed
a great number of contracts.
1t is said that this concern is
authorized to spend as many millions
as are necessary. After all, what do
a few millions more or less amount

RATS CAN'T KEEP WARM

Pittsburg, Pa.-Steel mills in Mar
tins Ferry, Ohio, are so cold that the
rats have deserted these plants, ac-
cording to a dispatch from that city
to a local newspaper. This is the
story that comes from the Ohio town:
Hardware men report an excep-
tional demand for mouse and rat
traps this year. One dealer said he
had never experienced such a rush
for rodent catchers. The steel strike
is blamed, as the animals, which had
lived about the plants where the fur
naces kept them warm, and the
scraps from mems lunches provided
them with food, are driven elsewhere
to find food. Two tin plate mills,
where hundreds of rats fattened on
the bran used in polishing tin, are
idle, causing rats TO infest the atty"

Ohio Free From Strikes

Columbus, Ohio-Ohio is conpara-
lively free from strikes because of
the relations that exist between eln-
ployers and organized labor, trade
unionists told DR.. w. o. TIL mpson,
president of the Ohio state university.
The educator is a member Of the
presidents industrial conference now
in session at Washington, and he has
been consulting with employers and
wage workers on questions that are
being considered by the conference.
Trade unionists showed that this
state has between 250,000 a1A 100000
members of organized labor, nearly
all of whom are in contractural rela-
tions with their employee.
While many of these employers
have not publicly declared in favor
OF collective bargaining, the fact re
mains that they conduct wage and
working conditions negotiated
through the trade unions.

to induce Uncle Sam, through his rep
resentatives in Congress, to validate
eight billion dollars worth Of watered
stock!
Of course the railroads believe that
by giving the newspapers these high
ly profitable contracts they will be
able to silence all editorial criticism
of the Cummins or the Esch Bill. The
roads have not had much reason to
complain, but here and there some
editor has broken over" and has
shown a disposition to let the people
get the facts. The Railroads adver-
tising representatives will now en-
deavor to show those editors the error
Of their way, and to convince them
that the people can get all the in
formation they should have through
the advertisements which the Rail-
roads will give out from time to time.

SUGAR GOUGERS FREED

Washington - Attorney General
Palmer announces that the govern
ment will not attempt to control the
distribution and sale of sugar after
December 81. This means that sugar
dealers will have a free hand and
that undoubtedly the price of this
commodity will soar.
The attorney general says the gov
ernment will prosecute dealers who
demand San unjust or unreasonable
profit"
AS the government has permitted
coal owners to charge profits that
range from Is to 800 per cent, ac-
cording to Secretary of the Treasury
Glass, and from Is to 1000 per cent,
according to former Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, it would be inter-
esting to know what constitutes ian
unjust and unreasonable profit"

Union Radicals
INTEREST IN UNIONS SHOWN
BY PROFITEERS
All Active Workers in Ranks of La
Dor cOndemned-GOOd Judgment
and Cool Heads Necessary
For Success

Seattle - The demand that trade
unions purge themselves of radicals"
comes from those who insist in deal
ing with the workers as individuals,
says Secretary Buck of the Washing
ton state federation of labor, who
charges that employers, in their pre-
tended discovery Of radicals in the
unions" are really attempting to gam
control of these organizations and
make them ineffective that profits
may not be disturbed.
"Our enemies have condemned
every man in the ranks who has eX-
hibited activity" said Secretary Buck.
"They have placed the brand on
practically every officer in the labor
movement from Sam Gompers down,
and stretched their definition of 'radi-
GALS to include the whole of that
group of members who show enough
interest in their affairs to attend the
meetings of their respective unions.
All of these must be 'purged' if we
would satisfy the employers.
even then our movement would
not be their idea of perfection. To
reach this pinnacle in their esteem
We must permit them to determine
who should fill the various offices and
act on various committees. And the
rank and file must also agree to trans
form the union into a mutual admira-
tiOn society.
eff, after this, we give up a part
Of the wages they allow US, toward a
fund to be used to care for those
whose health the inhuman industrial
conditions they will create has broken,
working for the boss who is operating
under the misnamed American plan,
we will then have put the finishing
touch to the employers idea of in
dustrial heaven.
"Our duty is clear. We must keep
our feet on the earth and our heads
and shoulders together. We mnst
think with cool head and act with
good judgment. While our opponents
rave we must work all the harder to
sOlidify our ranks.
'"This is our answer: we will not
cringe'"

"DOwn the Reds" Cry
Won't Check Unrest

Chicago-George W. Perkins, pres
ident of the Cigar Makers Interna-
tional union, declares that the cry of
"down the reds" must not be used
as shield for miserable profteer-
irg," or to secure legislation that
would throttle liberty. Writing in
the official journal of the Cigar
Makers union, this trade unionist
says:
"While there may be an honest de-
sire on the part of some to eradicate
by deportation or otherwise the de-
structive radicals, there is apparently
an element hiding behing this move
ment who would seize the present op-
portunity to fasten upon the statute
books of the nation and state legis-
lation calculated to restrict and null
lily the activities of the constructive
trade union movement. These trade
union opponents operating behind the
mask of "down the reds" are trying
to put on the statute books laws to
prevent the constructive trade unions
from carrying forward their legiti-
mate, lawful trade union activities.
Against these people we protest,
and denounce them as sailing under
false colors. All liberty loving peo-
pie, even those outside of the trade
union movement, stand in danger of
having their rights and liberties cur
tailed or abrogated under the guise
of throttle the reds We are not of
the destructive, radical type and hold
no brief for such, but we don't pro-
pose to see the trade unions strangled
or crushed by the same gentry and
tactics they employ in their efforts
to strangle and crush somebody else.
Gust so long as there is miserable
profteering there will be discomfort
and unrest which repressive laws
will not prevent. Deport the reds
and continue profteering, and two
discontented protestants against the
profiteering gang of robbers will
spring up in the place of every one
dsported."

OUR NATION LAGS IN EDUCA-
TIONAL TESTS
Violation of Statutes in Many States
and No Laws Prohibiting Child
Labor in Agricultural
Districts

Washington - In summarizing re-
suits of its back-to-school campaigns
the children's bureau of the United
States department of labor says it
is conditions such as these "that make
the United States eighth instead of
first on the list of civilized countries
with regard to the proportion Of
literacy among its citizens"
Zone out of every ten adults living
in cities in the United States can not
read or write, one out of every Eve
country adults is illiterate- and the
states in which there is a high per
centage of illiteracy are the states
in which there is high percentage
of rural child labor. There are no
laws that prohibit the employment Of
children in agriculture and three
fourths of all working children work
on farms.
"Many children were found to be
working in voiolation of the statutes
of their states, and many children of
school age were in factories because
there was not sufficient number of
attendance officers and factory in
spectors to keep them in school and
out of industry.
an one state it was found that
10,895 children did not go to school
at all last year. In single district
an inspector reported 1,700 children
as not having day of schooling. In
many rural district the children at
tend school only about half the time,
and the hours of rural schools are
very short"
The report shows a scarcity of
school buildings. 1t is stated that if
ali children attended school, 40 per
cent of them would have to stand.
While strictly enforced compulsory
school attendance legislation is es-
sential, the children's bureau says
this is not a complete remedy as
schools must be made so plainly at

Liberty of Opinion
Defended by BOrah

Washington - In opposing an act
that would give censor powers to the
postmaster general, Senator Borah
notified his colleagues that "you must
get back to the proposition of pitting
your teachings and your views as to
the wisdom, as to the justice of our
government, and our institutions
against it for ultimate decision in
this country. l have no doubt at all
about that; and there is not a page
of history, from the democracies of
Greece to this hour that does not
teach the same fact.
"When it comes to acts," continued
the senator, "men are responsible for
their acts. / am speaking now of
expressions of opinion. l want to
say, however distatesteful as it may
be to senators here, that am one of
those who stand against the attempt
to repress and to suppress the express
sion of opinion.
Woodrow Wilson once said, and
one of the wisest things he ever said,
was, that when a man has a per-
nicious doctrine the best thing to do
is to rent him a public hall and let
him express himself; the American
people will take care of him."
In reply to statements by senators
that the act was not intended to i'll
terfer with the expression of opin-
ion, and that the judiciary committee
of the senate has so declared, Senator
Borah said:
eyes, l was reading Mr.. Gomuers'
speech the other day in which he le-
counted about so instances in which
members of the senate and other pub
lie officials declared how a certain
law would be construed and how it
would be administered, but when it
got before Judge Anderson out in In
diana it was construed in a different
way and administered in a different
way"

Miners Break Record

Indianapolis - The good standing
membership of the United Mine
Workers was 524,646 for the month
of October. AS there is always a
certain per cent of membership that
is released from the payment of dues
because of sickness, lack of employ
ment or other causes recognized by
the union, the United Mine Workers
Journal estimates that the total mem
bership for October was $4,000.
