THE BRASS CHECK"

Upton Sinclair announces that the
sales Of "The Brass Check" have
amounted to 10000 copies in four
months. This with no advertising
and only few scattered reviews.
Two editions Of the paper-bound book
had to be printed on news-print
paper, and in future the paper books
are to be printed on a light weight
brown wrappingpaper. Sinclair has
succeeded in obtaining a carload Of
this, enough for 10000 books; also
a carload of book paper, enough for
10000 cloth-bound books.
Therefore, for the first time he
felt free to advertise the book. An
advertisement Was prepared, setting
forth what the sales of the book had
been, and quoting an endorsement of
it by the Rev. John Haynes Holmes
of the Community Church of New
York. This advertisement was sent
to the New York "Times," with a
check for $156.80. The check was
returned and the advertisement re-
jected. In its advertising rate-card
the New York "Times" states that
medical" advertising is Subject to
censorship" The public will be
surprised to learn that the book adj
vertlsements in the literary supple
ment of the New York "Times" are
also subject to censorship"
The Brass Check" is published by
the author at Pasadena, California.
Price 60c paper, postpaid; S1.2O

Dirty Frame-Up to
Get" Worker Fails

New light was thrown on the
methods Of the Department of Jus
tice in an incident occurring in the
! trial Of Charles krieger. at Tulsa,
| Okla, last week. krieger, a work
ing man, was acquitted on June
Sth of the charge Of conspiring TO
| dynamite the home of J. Edgar Pew,
an executive Of a Standard Oil Com
pany subsidiary.
The incident" was the disclosure
at the trial that the chief witness
against krieger. Hubert Vowels, had
been granted a pardon by the De-
partment for his testimony. Eowels
had been confined to the federal
prison al Leavenworth for robbing
z post office. He alleged on the
witness stand that he had blown up
the house IN cooperation with
hrieger.
The American Civil Liberties Union
was able 70 obtain { certified copy
q Nowel's pardon, granted by the
Department Of Justice. This was
forwarded 10 the attorneys for the
defense, who produced il on the stand.
1t led 70 Fowel's breakdown, and his
admission that he had falsely ac-
cused Krieger and that he had been
granted the pardon for his false tes-
timony. Two other so-called "co-
workers" Of Krieger, John Hall and
Walter Benson, brought from Leav-
enworth, stated they had nothing to
do with the explosion or with Krieg-
er, and that they had been offered
pardons to testify against him. The
jury returned verdict Of not guilty
after two hours deliberation.

Is War With Mexico
Greed's Next Move?

Washington, July 3.-Thc sinister
figure Of Mexican Intervention looms
as a result of a report by senate
committee headed by Mr.. Fall of
New Mexico. This report declared,
in effect, that Mexico must change
its constitution to suit American
investors or it will be invaded.
The Montreal convention of the
A. f. of L. raised warning cry
against present anti-Mexican tend
encies in this country, and adopted
/ committee report, which said, in
part:
owe call attention to the unques-
tionable fact that the issue of in
PREVENTION in Mexico will be more
acute during the immediate future
than it has been for some time.
There are evidences of a growing
determination on the part of many
of those interested in Mexican in
vestments to force the issue to a
conclusion. Intervention, in one form
or another, is urged, one of our
great political parties has written
into its platform declaration which
clearly means deep sympathy with
this demand.
Ordinarily we concede to Ameri-
cans the right to invest in Mexico
or any other country, and under
ordinary circumstances Americans
who do so invest are entitled to the
protection Of their government.
at is an accepted principle that
the people of one country who emil
CRATE from it to another are bound
by the laws of the country to which
they emigrate, and this principle
applies equally to those who acquire
titles and grants as well as those
who engage in business. When there
is added to such condition the fact
that much Of the land to which GER
tain Adventures obtained possession
corruptly and in collision with the
previous governments of Mexico un-
faithful to their people, they are
not justified in having other nations
of which they are citizens protect
them in those corrupt practices and
holdings.
and where American capitalists
engaged in intrigue and in deliberate
defiance Of the law of a foreign
land in which they invest, we deny
that they have any just claim upon
the government of the United States
for its protection"

1t Is Not So Bad

The following clipping, taken from

real news from North Dakota by one

In MingO County
West Virginia

/ INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July g.
/ 1t was announced at the headquar-
tiers of the United Mine Workers OF
America, today, that the coal miners
Of Mingo County, West Virginia, are
now 100 per cent organized. Every
mine worker in the county. number
ing pproXimately 5000, are now
members Of the union. II was al
Matewan, Mingo county. that the
battle occurred on May 19 between
Baldwin-Felts private detectives, cit
liens and miners. resulting in the
death Of ten men. The Baldwin FeIts
gunner were IN the employ OF coal
companies, and their principal duty
was 70 prevent miners from Joining
the union. 4 local union was organ
lied al Matewan and the company
sent the detectives 10 Macewan
70 evict the union men and their
families from company houses. This
caused the conflict in which Albert
Felts and six other detectives were
killed, along with Mayor FISHERMAN
and two miners.
Immediately following this battle,
the United Mine Workers started an
intensive campaign Of organization.
The remainder Of the detectives dis
appeared from Mingo county and
the miners flocked to the union.
Mingo county, heretofore, has been
one Of the strongest non-union fields
in West Virginia.
For the first time in the history
Of the county, a convention Of
United Mine Workers was held at
Williamson, the county seat, few
days ago, and demands for better
wages and improved working condi-
tons were formulated for presenta-
ton to the coal companies.
Officials Of the United Mine Work
ers say they regard the successful
organization of the Miners of Mingo
county as one of the most important
pieces of work yet done in West Vir-
ginia.

Some Facts About
The Philippines

The Filipino people number 1880.
GAO, Of which 9,495,272 are Chris.
tians, and only nine per cent non
Christians.
They have been Christians for 300
years, and have a culture and refine
ment that will compare very favor
ably with that Of other nations.
The University Of Santo Tomas is
% years older than Harvard.
English is taught exclusively in the
Philippine public schools. Two mil
lion natives now speak English flu
emily, and there are 700, 900 English
speaking children in the public
schools. 1t is destined to be the
national language.
Seventy per cent Of the inhabitants
Of the Philippines over 10 years Of
age, according to census just COM
pleted, are literate. This is higher
percentage of literacy than that Of
any South American country, higher
than that of Spain, and higher than
that Of any Of the new republics Of
Europe whose independence is being
guaranteed by the Allies.
The Filipino people are unanimous
in their desire for independence.
Whenever they are called upon to de-
post their ballots they have always
ratified this aspiration. At every
session before adjournment their rep
resentatives in the Legislature re-
iterate their faith in the principles
of liberty and the independence Of
the Filipino people.
There are only 1884 Japanese in
the Philippines. There are $4,000
japanese in California alone, or 10
times as many as in the entire Philip
pine archipelago.
A special delegation Of Filipinos,
officially representing the Filipino
people, are attending the two ma
tional conventions, seeking an en-
dorsement Of the Filipino desire for
independence in the platforms. Their
arguments, briefly stated, are as fol-
lows:
First, That the American Declara-
ton of Independence declares that
governments derive their Just powers
from the consent of the governed:
Second, That the American Con-
gress, in the Jones law, solemnly
promised the Filipinos independence
upon the establishment Of stable
government, and that their claim
that the said stable government is
now in existence in the Islands has
been officially confirmed by Amer
ica's own representatives there; and
Third. That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
avowed champion of self determine
ton" American soldiers having been
told it was one of the things they
were fighting and dying for.

They have invoked the Lever act
again California and under it have
arrested a large number of "insur-
gent" striking switchmen. 1t is a
pity this procedure cannot be stop
ped, that an end cannot be put to
this wartime legislation. If this
is the only weapon that the public
possesses wherewith to protect itself
in grotesque perversion of the law
which should be distasteful to all
who believe in the real spirit of law.
If we must have laws to cover these
cases let them be laws that are
based on facts instead of on fiction.

that the states "can't strike" law
does not apply to miners. 1t seems
that 20 years ago, when operators
had everything their own way, the
supreme court set aside an eight

was a purely private business and
mot affected with a public interest"
This looks like one Of the few times
