DISTRIBUTION OF COAL.
Plan to Equalize Supply for All
 Countries.

The 18th International Congress of the International Miners Federation has requested the International Labor Office of the League of Nations to un- dertake to find the best method of es- tablishing an international coal office for the purpose of securing a more equitable distribution of coal through out the world, according to a statement given out by the International Labor Office
 M. Albert Thomas, Director General of the International Labor Office, who was present at the session during which the creation of an International Coal Bureau was decided upon, made 1t clear that the distribution of coal in accord ance with the needs of various nations would 1n no way modify or alter exist ing agreements arrived at by virtue of the Treaty of Peace or of the Spa Con- ference and that such task could only be carried out in cooperation with other branches of the League of Ma tions. He stated, however, that sub Ject to these reservations he was ready to respond to the appeal made by the Miners Congress and agreed to bring the matter before the governing body of the International Labor Office at its meeting on October 5.
 It is thought that such an Information al Coal Bureau will eliminate much of the present loss and waste involved by defective organization of distribution and transport of coal throughout the world. This request coming from the first Congress to be held by the Inter- national Miners. Federation since the war, is interpreted by officials as indi- eating the confidence of labor in the. International Labor Organization.

AR IDEAL OPEN SHOP.

(The labor unions of Syracuse have purchased cemetery where only union members may be buried.) All his life in a union shop
 He daily earned his bread, They buried him in union grave, When the union man was dead. He had union doctor,
 He had union nurse, He had a union coffin
 And he had a union hearse They put him in a union grave, When he was good and dead; They put union monument
 Just above his head. And then he went to heaven,
 But to stay he didn't care. He kicked because he said some
 Non-union men were there He went down to the other place And there produced his card, Then Satan drew an earnest face And studied good and hard And then he laughed, his hands did rub, Till he thought he'd never stop, Lord bless my soul said Belzebub, Why, this is an open shop.

INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE
 INJUNCTION.

Can a court issue an injunction with out notice, restraining and preventing working men striking for higher wages and better conditions? Can a court send men to jail because they have re- fused to obey an order directing them to continue to work for a certain en- ployer?
 These are the issues presented to the supreme court of Colorado, as a result of the Denver street car strike.
 Judge Greeley. Whitford, a notorious public utility jurist, sitting in the dis trict court in Denver, issued an injunc- tion restraining the employees of the Denver Tramway Company from quit ting their employment The men ig- nored the order, and their leaders were dragged before Whitford, found guilty of contempt, and sentenced to 90 days in jail.
 The. mems attorneys appealed to the supreme court of the state The issues involved reach the very heart of our constitutional liberties If Whitford is sustained, the status of workers in

HERE AND THERE

The open shop or antl-un1on move ment, according to the New York World, is being fostered particularly in the Middle West where, because of the stacking down of, automobile industry, the number of idle men is greater than elsewhere. Indianapolis is "the center of the movement" it seems, and there the Associated Employers are "formu- lating their plans for a stiff fight" against organized labor and the open shop.
 The stiff fight" starts off with a term "open shop" is taboo. The "in- dependent shop is the new name and the scheme of things is called the American plan" Already some 600 manufacturers associations throughout the country have agreed to support the American plan" which appeals to them as being a very fine name and decidedly patriotic in sound. But back of it all is the same old plan-the fight to defeat the closed shop.
 As revealed. by one, A: c. Allen, manager of the Indianapolis fighting forces, one of the most brilliant and effective ideas of the American plan" is to discharge men in the big industries and then hire them over again at re- duced wages and pledged to favor the Independent shop" It's a successful scheme, too, to quote MT. Allen, because there are thousands of men out who formerly worked in the motor vehicle factories and things are being adjust ed and wages are coming down"
 And why shouldn't wages come down?" asks Manager Allen. Sugar Not being aware that the sugar price Is barometer of wages, 1 can only ask how come? 1 want something more vital than drop in sugar; beefsteak for instance, before l can attempt to figure out why it IS time for a decline in the wage scale.
 And now comes along Dudley Field Malone, Farmer-Labor nominee for governor of New York, and says that he's tired all out hearing so much about the classes. Bunch 'em all into two classes, says MT. Malone, "those who prohteer and rob, and the rest of us who are exploited and robbed by the profteers." Candidate Malone stands we'll on the profteering question we lIuSl tllllIlt, CNCll II kllOW much about the needs of the farmers and 1aborers otherwise.

ing compelled the workers to live Up to all they received. That reminds me of a New Haven 1andlady who, a short time since, boosted the rent of all her rooms $1.50 each per week because she read in the papers about the big advance i'll wages the railroad workers were to receive. The good woman only had one roomer who was a rai1roader but one was plenty enough as an excuse for boosting purposes.

Colorado will be as degraded as was that of the chatte1 slaves of the South before Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation.
 Of course labor cannot quietly sub init to such hideous judicial tyranny. The issue must, if necessary, be carried to the highest court in the land
 In the meantime, 1t Is well to remem- Der that Colorado would not have Whit lords on the bench if the workers of that state had done their duty on cleo tion day. When you vote for corpora tion tools you must look for corporation decisions

It's good deal the same way with food prices and other necessities, these days. Anything for an excuse to raise the price. And some of the price ad- yances seem to be made on the one big idea of soaking people all they will stand The people do stand for it, too, and the profteers are not only well pleased that 1t is so, but find it a very encouraging adjunct to their system of business.

prlnter 1nk II IS timely to note that the enemies of organized labor are fully aware of it's potency and have no hesi- tancy in spreading it thick On the other hand we find that many unionists are pretty slow even to subscribe for a labor paper. Some of them who read daily paper can't see any reason for reading a labor weekly. I place all such unionists in the class with those other fine fellows, the union boys who don't give darn whether or not there's a union label on the goods, CT article, they buy.
 In connection with the above allow me to present the testimony of a New Haven grocer who sells daily large amount of bread. The grocer is no particular friend of the union bakers and saw no reason why he shouldn't keep any kind of bread called for, union made or otherwise. And he has kept and sold both kinds until within a few days. Now he sells only union-1nade union bakers? No, not bit of it. He was simply forced to keep only union bread because the women in the neigh borhood finally came to the conclusion that 1t was the kind they wanted. How come? opaganda-reading matter carefully distributed in the neighbor- hood and resulting in the education of the people Up to the point where union made bread was demanded.
 It was recently asserted that advances made in the freight rates would not cause any increases in the prices of coal, clothing or foodstufs Or, if increases were made, they would be very slight, We'll, coal has gone up considerably in price all over the state and the dealers blame 1t to advanced freight costs. In New London, for instance, the price per ton previous to August %, when the freight rates were advanced was $15; now 1t has jumped to SIPS. But we rust hand it to the New Haven deal ers-they didn't boost the price after the freight rates went up. Oh, no, the kindly souls took time by the fore1ock and showed up the price from SIS to freight charges. So, you see, if the New Haven dealers make another boost soon they'll have, of course, the freight excuse all handy.
 How do the dealers figure 1t out in making increased charges for coal on the ground that the freight charges have advanced? Well, take New Lon don again The excess freight rates there are SIPS, according to the dealers themselves. But they boosted the cost up $225, leaving you see a dollar a ton as a margin of good measure for them selves in the deal. The excess freight l charges to New Haven are $1.16. The | dealers covered 1t all right. you see, when they boosted the price to $lo.50.

 i. Street car conductor was speaking about 1t the other day. Said working men would kick over paying a seven cent car fare instead of the former nothing of paying $16 or SIS for pair SC. In fact, the more they paid the more they gloried in the fact and the more they talked about it.
 Time seems to be on the way when every city and town will be an armed camp and there will be regular barracks maintained, the federal officers for the enforcement of prohibition are getting so numerous. On the outskirts of Bridgeport it is said that every night from 25 to 50 officers are camped, their duty being to watch the roads entering the city for the moonshiners.
 Before booze smuggling is finally suppressed it may be necessary to go still farther and enclose the cities by gates at the roadways and officers on duty at the gates. Down in Maine, with its miles of border between this coun- try and Canada, the rum smugglers have become so numerous that the peo- pie are calling for the troops to patrol the border and either capture the rene gade pests or thin their number out by shooting.
 I entertain the idea that the cause of organized labor lost nothing by the fact that Labor'Day parades and demonstra- tions were not featured this year in Connecticut. Labor parades, I suppose, are made to impress the beholders with the strength of labor or to advertise unionism, just as political parades are made to enthuse party action. They may both be all right, but when it comes to advancing any cause propaganda is the real stuff The old saying, print CTS ink makes millions think" is the excuse for propaganda and that's why it remains the one great educative force in the world
