The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-19

We propose, in this article, to tell the people of Alabama just where the United Mine Workers stand in regard to the Coal Commission that was appointed by Governor Kilby. The com mission has been in Birmingham for several days, but we do not know what 1t has been dO- ing, for it's sessions have been held behind closed doors and have not been open to the public. In compliance with an invitation, MT. Kennamer visited the commission last Wednesday, in company with Senator White, attorney for the United Mine Workers, and he knows what took place at that time but he knows nothing about the other sessions. AL though the commission has been considering matters of the utmost vital interest to the United Mine Workers and the coal miners of Alabama we have not, even to this day, been informed as to what the commission was doing.
 We have heard, however, that the comms- sion has finished it's work and prepared it's re- port for submission to the governor. Assuming that this information is correct we take it for granted that the case has been closed, and we feel justified, therefore, in making this state ment to the public so that our situation may be understood.
 In the first place, there was no good reason for the appointment of the commission, for it was we'll known that the Alabama coal opera tors would not accept it's decision unless the decision pleased them in every detail. The operators announced openly and publicly, through the press, to Governor Kilby and to the commission that they would never directly or indirectly recognize or deal with the United Mine Workers of America. The governor had that information at the start and the commis- sion also had it straight and direct from the operators
 That being the case, we say there was no good reason for the appointment of the com mission, for it could get nowhere with one of the vital issues involved in the present contro- verSy. Unless the commission was to be left absolutely free to determine the whole case on it's merits it could do no good. The opera tors tied the hands of the commission and told it what it could not, must not and should not do. There is nothing fair or equitable in such business as that. The commission could not render finding favorable to the miners even if it's members were inclined to do so. The ulti- matum of the operators made this impossible, and thus the case was more than half decided before the commission ever held session. THEREFORE, WE SUBMIT THE FOLLOW We propose that Governor Kilby, the mayor of dent of the United States to appoint commissio causes, and render decision based upon its inve Workers of America will accept and abide by We challenge the Alabama coal operators to joi J:L. CLEMO, Secretary Treasurer. 1
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-19

Under these circumstances there was noth- ing for the miners to do, as far as the commis- sion was concerned, for the operators had made decision impossible.
 We wish to call the attention of the public to this very significant fact: The commission never asked the representatives of the miners whether they would agree to accept the de- cision of the commission. Therefore we have never stated whether we would or would not Certainly we could not accept half-decision, but we are now called upon to say what we would have done with a decision of all the issues.
 We have never announced whether we were for or aganist the commission plan for settle ment of the controversy. The question has not been asked of us. We do not now say whether we were for it or against it. An an swer is not called for at this time.
 If we had submitted our case to the com- mission under the circumstances, with the cards stacked against us, we would have been completely at disadvantage and we could not have won, no matter how just our cause or how ably we might have presented our case. The coal operators had effectively limited the jurisdiction of the commission and built a stone wall around it.
 Besides all of this, we wish to call attention to the personnel of the commission and ask the public whether, under any circumstances, the miners would have been justified in sub- nitting their case to the commission
 Understand, we not assailing any man, nor are we seeking to cast reflection any degree upon any member of the commission But this time for plain speaking, for great things and momentous questions are involved. They are issues affecting the lives, the happiness the prosperity and the God-given liberty and freedom of 25,OO0 hard-workng coal miners of Alabama and their wives and little children and we must not falter in duty them For this reason and this reason alone, write these things.
 By accepting appointments as members of the gov ernors coal commission these men become semi-publc servants, and such they cannot complain if sub init them to the scrutiny of the public the public may judge of their qualifications and their fitness pass upon the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens
 We know Governor Henderson, Judge Mayfield and Doctor Denny We, like others, have had opportunity to observe and study them. We fairly familiar with their views, their ncnations and their mental pro- cesses.

Surface Treatment Of Macadam Road
e. With Bituminous Material and Stone
Chips.
Of an inch wide, so that the material
may be poured in a broad, fiat stream.
If a large amount of work is to be
done, a specially designed pouring
car may be purchased of dealers in
road equipment. Care should be
taken to have an even distribution,
and the quantity applied should be
approximately one-half gallon to a
square yard Of road surface. After
applying the bituminous material,
clean gravel or stone chips should be
spread evenly over the surface, and
if possible, rolled with a lawn or field
roller. Where gravel or chips are not
available, clean, coarse sand will serve
as covering material. 1t should be
spread in sufficient quantity to pre-
vent the bituminous material from adj
herring to tires of passing vehicles.
Attention is called to the fact that
this treatment should not be made
where drainage from the stables or
barns will flow over it. Where mud
holes are likely to form around hitch
ing posts or at stable entrances, if a
more durable pavement is desired, a
section of concrete slab should be
laid.

the farm employees, the cost should
not exceed seven or eight cents a

League of Nations, the Plume affair, or the high cost of living, such hor- rible stories from the near east seem incredible. Alas, many of us don't believe half that has been told of the sufferings of the Armenians alone.
 This latest tale of slaughter may not be substantiated in full; it may possibly be exaggerated, but how often has the atrocious Turk been proved guilty of his crimes? How many thousands of Armenians has he not killed, whose deaths were sub stantiated? It is hard for the occi- dental mind to grasp the Mohamme- dan point of view. The Prophet taught that the unbeliever who would not accept Islamism should be put to the fire and the sword. The Turks natural cruelty when inflamed by re- ligious fanaticism and racial hatred knows no bounds. He could cheerful ly slaughter millions of Christians in stead of. thousands, if the opportu- nity offered.

 He is the only Alabamian whose name has been even suggested in con nection with the presidency of the 1a-

 the last national campaign. and his remains the only name Of men resi- dent in and hailing fro mthe heart of the south that is still nationally as- sociated with the honor.

ANOTHER GOOD TRUST

Tour instances-the shoe machinerv th. cash register and the steamship and Tf,r. Vester trust cases--the supreme court nas interpreted the Sherman act with great llberality, the government in this proceed- ing adhered to all of its earlier conten- tcns. It argued that the lawswas fn- tended to forestall wrongs, not to yqAft Tor them, and that the mere existence of these giant combinations, whether thev were benevolently or barbarouslv in- clined, was an evil.
 In rejecting this view the court doas no more than apply to business in general the rules of justice that govern indiv1d- uals. It is not size or capacity or pbssi- pliity that is to be penalized but actual wrong doing If the theory advanced bv tfe government in this case were to De accepted. the antitrust law itself would be the greatest instrument for the restraint of trade ever known.
 The Steel Corporation is to be unflss- turbed because there has been no proor that it has misused it's strength. To ai- lege gravely that it is monopoly when Bethlehem and several other independent institutions are in plain sight is pretoa. terous Even the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company merger receives inferential sanction, since practice. hv the corporation to which objection might have been made were long ago dss.on- tinued, and it Is not now possible to re- store old conditions without disru2tins business generally. as the opinion says.

 He is the best equipped man in Ala- bama for the position which he holds Always tactful, well-poised and re- sourceful, he has risen, year by year, in the esteem of his associates, first in the lower house and then in the up- per, until there is not today in that entire body a man who does not ac- knowledge him among the real leaders of the nation
 MT. Underwood has courage. That is among the rarest of qualities of men in high public life; but MT. Underwood has displayed backbone when backbone meant the most bitter opposition and assault He evinced this kind of courage when. as chairman of the ways and means committee of the lower house, he put through the tariff bill bearing his name. clinging to fea- lures of that bill which he deemed right, although storms of fury ragged about his head With wonderful patience and wisdom he finally completed the only tariff measure which an entire nation has accepted. and partisan poli- ticians have found themselves unable to attack.
 More recently right here in Birming- ham he emphasized this spirit of statesmanlike courage when he as assumed full responsibility for features of the Esch- -Cummins railroad bill which were the subject of bitter class attack.

How Giannirla Paolini
 Arrived in America

YE GHT-YEAR-OLD GIANNINA A PAOLINI came from Italy with her family to be adopted by Uncle Sam. According to the story told by her father, she had to stand on the deck of the ship that brought her to America four days while inn migration officials made their exam nations. Accustomed to the mild climate of southern Italy, the little girl suffered agony from the cold and both of her feet were frozen.
 When the vessel finally docked and the immigrants were allowed to dis embark, Giannina was taken ashore and hurried to her new home in Phil adelphia. There a doctor was called. He sent her to a hospital and the childls left foot was amputated. Sci entific treatment saved the right foot. Surgeons at the hospital said the operation was success, but Gi- annina was so weakened by exposure and suffering that she might not re- cover. Anthony Caminetti, commits sioner general of immigration, or dered that an investigation be made The superintendent of Ellis Island denies that there was any negligence on the part of immigration officials there.
 But if the story isn't true, what earthly reason could Papa Paolini have for telling it? Anyone who has ever watched a shipload of inlmi- grants battling their way into Amer ica, knows that it might have hap pened, particularly in the case of foreigners Mustered by their new en- vironment, afraid of doing the wrong thing and not knowing what to do or where to turn for relief.
 If little Giannina with the pretty name, who may have been dark eyed beauty herself when she Jeff Italy, recovers from her narrowing experience, she will always have 2 sad reminder of governmental rec tape or official carelessness. Perhaps it was both.
