Dane County Buys EdgertOn Gravel
PIT

The Biederman & Co., co-partner-
ship composed of w. S. Heddles, D. L.
Babcock, VIM. Bussey, c. G. Bieder-
man and Mrs. Andrew Jensen, has sold
to Dane county Fl acres of their hold
ings for gravel diggings. That this
deal was maturing has been known for
some time, but it was not formally
closed between the Biederman company
and the Dane county board uutil last
| Saturday. Dane county takes this
| over to be used by the highway COM
| mission for road construction. Five
| test wells have been sunk on the prop
erty, and the estimated amount OF
gravel is 5000, 900 cubic yards. The
| contract permits the purchaser 20 years
| in which to remove the gravel. The
| p-ice paid is $35, 600, in installments
specified in the contract. The gravel
has been carefully tested as to quality
by the u. w. laboratory. 1t is OF ex-
cellent quality. The laboratory tests
proved that the Edgerton gravel over
runs the standard. In the eight day
test the overrun was lat per cent, and
| in the % day test it stood 139 above
| the normal. It is this excellent quality
| of the Edgerton product which sold the
pit. If there is three million cubic
| yards of it, the cost to the county will
be about II cents per yard. The new
owner has the pri yilege of the sheep
feeding yards rail spur as far as it
goes. All machinery and other equip
ment needed will be installed by the
Dane county authorities at the earliest
possible date, and preparations to open
the pit will begin forthwith. Dare
county is by this move made indepen-
dent of the private owners of gravel
pits, and will secure the valuable ma
terial for its road system at remark
ably low cost. The Biederman COM
pany owns other valuable gravel de-
posts in the same vicinity which the
city of Edgerton is contemplating Sc
curing, either by lease or purchase.
The excellent condition Of the street
crossings on Fulton street, put in 20
years ago, proves the quality of the
gravel. 1t is claimed that great saw
ing in cement is possible by the use OF
| this high grade gravel material

Railroads in a MuddIe


Washington-The railroad situation
in the United States has become in
volved in ghastly transportation
muddle, declared William B. Colver,
member federal trade commission, in
an address in this city. "Since 1916"
he said, "you have heard a continual
clamor about car shortage and that
is taken to mean that there are not
enough cars and that the poor, half
starved railroads ought to have more
cars. The fact is that if the avail
able open-top cars, after liberal allow
ance to other industries requiring
such cars had been made, were loaded
with coal and moved at canalboat
speed, being allowed 20 days for a
round trip, and being allowed Shop
time for repairs in excess of the re-
quirements of experience, there are
enough cars now on the tracks to
move all the coal that this country
could possibly use and have surplus
requirement which would take care o.
over 50,O00,000 additional tons, or
nearly 10 per cent overhead factor
of safety"

ARMY BILL JOKER

A joker slipped in to the army re-
organization bill gives the military
authority over civilians that hereto
fore has been denied it. Henceforth
a person who by word, act, gesture
or otherwise makes himself offensive
to a military court may be sentenced
to fine and Imprisonment, or both.
-"Any person" may mean a labor
leader in an industrial dispute, or any
fashioned citizen who may stand
on his constitutional rights.
More. than four hundred years ago
Englishmen wrote into their Bill Of
Rights an inhibition against the mill
tary interfering with the rights of
civilians. 1t provided that in all
cases where military courts were ag-
grived they could prefer charges
against civilians, but the hearings
must be given before civil tribunals.
That has been the consistent practice
until the "big army" combine rewrote
the army bill and made it an in
strumentality that will be service
able to Big Business.
The punishment that may be ac-
corded civilians by military courts is
not severe, as such things go. 1t is
limited to a fine of 500 or one month
in prison. But the principle has been
established, and that is the main
thing. Future congresses may make
amendments to the bill that will in
crease the power of military courts,
may, in fact, give them the power of
life and death over non-military
citizens.
1t is inconceivable that in the
twentieth century any legislative
tribunal would even attempt to fOist
such an enactment upon the law
books. It'is inconceivable that public
opinion should fall to a 6tate so
quiescent and unresisting that it
would permit the enactment of a
measure which is direct and Of
fensive violation of their rights,

Thug Nearly Kills Judge

Detroit, Mich.-While Judge Jayne
was hearing the plea of employers
for an injunction against striking
plumbers, the court proved that one
of the strikebreakers was perjurer
and that the judge himself came near
being a victim of the thugs bullets.
The strikebreaker testified that he
fired shots at unionist named Har-
rington, who was pursuing him. Har-
rington had testified that he had never
seen the strikebreaker and Judge
Jayne then informed the strikebreaker
that he recollects the shooting be-
cause he was in the vicinity at the
time and came near being hit by one
of the bullets. The court also stated
that he had a clear recollection of the
strikebreaker coming out of an alley,
saying: 81 wonder whether l got
him that time"
The strikebreaker is on of a gang
of "free and Independent American
workmen" that employers are paying
high priced lawyers to defend in their
right to work"

NEWARK, OHIO, FRIDAY, JULY 10. 1920
Collapse of InterChurCh Movement

would find it difficult to maintain their
collections. The first definite state.
ment Of the case was handed to the
annual convocation Of the Young
Womens Christian Association, at
Cleveland, Ohio, in April, this year,
when Industry" official organ of
the Manufacturers, declared that bus
mess men took exceptions to it's in
dustrial platform, and that if it was
not revised retaliatory measures
would be adopted by them.
The Y. w. C. A. reaffrmed its plat
form and Mrs. Helen Gould Sheppard,
owner of stocks and bonds, resigned
as president. Whether the organiza-
tion will suffer from lack of funds is
for the future to determine. Big
Business, in plain words, has told 1t
that it need expect neither sympathy
nor support from that quarter.
The leaders of the Interchu cc;l
movement, progressive and far see
ing men and women, would not re-
cant their industrial heresy" and
were preparing to extend their wo k
when the foundations were pulled
from under their organization by
large industrial interests. Early in
the year John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.,
Stephen H. Dodge, and some lesser
financiers had promised to supply
funds with which to maintain the or
ganizatiOn's activities, but none Of
this money was forthcoming and there
remained only one course open to the
religious leaders. They have taken
it, reluctantly, to be sure, but not
until the public had been made aware
/ of the sinister and suasive methods
that are employed by Big Business to
| dominate even the churches of the
country.
The steel report, said to be a damn
| ing statement of the crimes of the
steel industry, is a document of more
! than 10000 words, with exhibits tn 1t
bring it up to 250,000 words, the pub
/ lie being advised that the complete
document is 'too long for general
reading"
This action was taken after two
agents of the steel trust made an
earnest appeal to the general com
mittee to withhold publication of the
report. They represented that the
church was making a serious error
in taking sides in industrial disputes
and stated emphatically that its busi-
ness was with the hereafter and not
with the now and here.
1t is an interesting issue, and it's
final determination will show whether
material forces are stronger than
spiritual forces.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-07-16

But there the law is-as good a
law as ever was written. Hereafter,
when the military sets out to dispose
of civilians, it can do it in fine shape
and with full regard for the law as
made and provided.
The Supreme Court of West Vir-
ginia in 1912 held that a military
commission then engaged in the pious
task of putting down an "insurrec-
tion"-it was a strike of coal miners
could go as far as it liked, no mat
ter whether the civil courts were sit
ting or not. That decision, if eX-
tended to other states, will bring
sundry persons under the contempt"
provision in a manner that they will
not relish.
Under the guise Of affording ade-
quate military protection every effort
was made to make the army an agent
of industrial despots. Many ini-
quitous provisions were defeated, but
the reactionaries succeeded in getting
in at least one of their demands, and
it is the boldest attack upon the
rights of free people that has been
attempted by any government in
more than four hundred years.

Is General Public
Harmed by Strikes ?

Chicago-"We are hearing a great
deal in these days of reconstruction
about the wrongs and hardships that
are inflicted on the general public by
workers who go on strike" says
President Perkins of the Cigar Max
ers' International union, writing in
the official magazine of that organi-
zation
"Legislation is proposed and en-
acted to prohibit strikes. Proponents
Of this class of legislation are cloud
in their declarations that it is to
protect the public
eve, on the other hand, hear very
little about the wrongs and hardships
inflicted on the general public by the
operator of q mine. or mill who has
the power, and exercises it, to operate
or not, just as he wills, and has the
power, and exercises it, to price the
necessities of life beyond the reach
Of the average purse.
'There has been no strike in the
sugar industry, in the meat industry,
in the -four mills, nor have milk cows
failed to deliver the goods, yet ac-
cording to the annual reports of the
gigantic combinations of capital con-
trolling these industries prices were
never larger than for the past few
months.
Honest analysis of the causes Of
present inflated prices will give or
ganized labor a clean bill and abso-
lutely fix the blame where it justly
belongs, on the shoulders of the
profiteer."

West Va. Miners Out
Can't Stand Gun Men

Williamson, w. Va.-Coal miners
in this vicinity have suspended work
rather than endure gun man rule and
non-union conditions. The coal owners
have refused to discuss a settlement
of the strike with representatives of
the United States department of la
Dor and the wives and children of
victimized miners are living in tent
have been evicte from company
houses.
The miners are backed by the
trade union movement Of West Vir-
ginia. These workers have made
repeated appeals to the state au-
thorities and to the public con-
science against the rule of murder
Gus private armies maintained by
the coal owners, but to no avail.
Killings are frequent, working con-
ditions are unbearable and dis
| charge awaits any miner known to
favor organization.
The miners have been forced to ac-
cept the challenge Of these industrial
bandits. Governor Cornwall remains
blind to the coal owners anarchy and
is devoting his time to perfecting the
American Constitutional association,
of which he is president.
In a recent circular to its members
this association denounced the union
shop and declared: "The American
Constitutional association is organ
lied to preserve reverence for law"

Wants 1t Kept Dark
FULL PUBLICITY OBJECTED TO
BY COAL OWNERS
Seven Railroads Dominate Industry
and Control Production, Trans
pOrtatiOn' and Sales

Scranton, Pa.-At the wage hear
ing in this city before the anthracite
coal commission coal owners opposed
the consideration of exhibits produced
by the miners which charge the coal
owners with monopolistic control and
profiteering.
On the commission is represent
ative of the public, who is charged
with the duty of protecting the pub
lies interest after he has received
full information. The miners are
prepared to show the profits of an
thracite coal mining companies; the
relation of wages to production costs;
profits and prices; the wholesale ana
retail prices of anthracite coal from
1913 to 1920; freight rates and trans
portation costs of this coal; operating
and financial performances of anthra-
cite railroads; combination in the an
thracite industry and production
costs at the mines In March, 1920
The coal owners do not want this
information considered by the COM
mission. They insist that the miners
demands for wage increases ard
union recognition are the only issues
and the exhibits have no connection
with the case.
The coal owners position is intar-
esting, in view of former claims by
them and their defenders that "the
interests of the public are para
mount" Now the minersN want 20
prove that the public is gouged by
the solicitious coal owners.
The miners have proof that the
anthracite industry is dominated Ey
seven railroads which conrtOl the
production, transportation and sale
| to local dealers of certain proper
ton Of the total anthracite consumed.
These railroads, operating through
their coal companies, control over 80
per cent of the unmined coal This
condition permits of only per cent
of anthracite coal that is free from
the control Of this combination.
