IT'S EASY MATTER NOW TO NAB
MOONSHTNERS OF "OLD KENTUCK'

Coyington, KY, Feb. 27,--Moon
shining in Kentucky IS far different
from the swashbuckling, romantic
feudlike pictures seen in the movies
or described in popular fiction.
That is what John w. Menzies
says about it. And Menzies ought ia
know as much about moonshining as
anybody else He is clerk of the fed
eral court of the eastern district OF
Kentucky and listens to scores of
such cases in any session of the six
court in his district
Seldom do the "revenoors' and the
mountaineers engage in spectacular
rifle battles-so popular a generation
ago, Menzies said When a United
States marshal wants "moonshin-
err to appear in courta to answer
charge he frequently goes to the
phone and says something like this:
Hello, Bill The judge wants to
see you at 9 o'clock tomorrow"
And Bill usually shows up.
There is plenty of moonshining 60
ing on now in the hills of eastern
Kentucky, according to government
reports War time prohibition got il
started anew, and now constitutional
has boosted the movement
along. But the whisky" makers are

MANY SCHOOLS CLOSED

Neutrality-suspicious. 3 per cent OF
the schools of this country have been
closed because of lack of teachers,
due to low wages, said P. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of edu-
cation, in a speech in this city. He
estimated that only four-tenths of l
per cent of the teachers of the coun-
try receive more than $1,5OO a year.
"Now, when we come to consider
how important schools are in the life
of the nation, we face very serious
situation in this matter of starving
the teaching force" said the COM
missioner. "The teachers are the
seed corn of the crop of the future.
But we cannot attract and hold in the
teaching profession the kind of peo-
pie we wish unless we pay them a
living wage"

Wants the Workers
To Pay Everything

Washington - United States Sen
ator Pomerene of Ohio has offered a
substitute for the McKellar-Lehlbach
retirement bill. The latter legislation
is urged by organized government
employees and provided that the gov
ernment and employees shall jointly
contribute to the fund. Retirement
shall be at the age of 65 years in
most cases and in other special cases
62 to 60 years. The maximum an
nuity, depending on length of serv-
ice and salary, shall be $720 annually
and the minimum shall be $780,
Employment for Is years will be
necessary before an employe is en-
titled to the retirement.
To this plan Senator Pomerene OBJ
jects. His substitute would put all
the cost on the employe, who shall
be pensioned at the age of 70 years.
In attempting to block considera-
ton of the retirement bill Senator
Pomerene caused Senator Mcclellan,
senate sponsor for the bill, to
make this reference to the Ohio SEN
ator:
81 know that the senator takes
the view that he is in favor of some
sort of civil service retirement law,
but he certainly is not in favor of
the bill now before the senate. He
has been one of the most active Of
all its opponents. l recall many
times while l was attempting to get
it up having yielded to his blandish-
ments, which are always very per-
suasive with me, as l am very fond
of him, but we did not get any
where"

stead, many congressman have en-
deavOred to enact legislation provid-
ing for compulsory labor. Despite
the patriotism and sacrifice of the
masses of labor of America during
the world war under the guise of
anti-sedition laws the effort has been
made to repress free association free
speech and free press.
"Scorned by congress, ridiculed and
misrepresented by many members of
both houses, the American labor
movement finds it necessary to Wig
orously apply its long and well-es-
tablished nOn-partisan political pol
icy.
Sinister forces are already actively
engaged in efforts to confuse and
nullify labor's political power. Their
object is to divide the labor vote so
that the election of reactionaries and
enemies Of labor will be assured. IN
less labor holds steadfastly to its non
partisan political policy the enemies
of labor will be successful in their
efforts. Labor cannot, labor must not,
permit its political strength to be di-
vided in the present crisis.
"Organized labor owes allegiance
to no political party. 1t is not parti-
san to any political party. 1t is parti-
san to principles-the principles of
freedom, of justice and of democracy.
Wherever candidates for re-elec-
tion have been friendly to labor's in
terests they should be Loyalty sup
ported. Wherever candidates are
hostile or Indifferent to labor's inter-
ests, they should be defeated and the
nomination and election of true and
tried trade unionists or of assured
friends should be secured.
Complying with the instructions of
the last convention of the labor and
farmer conference of December 13,
1919, the A. F. of L. announces it's
determination to apply every legiti-
mate means and all of the power at
its command to accomplish the defeat
of labor's enemies who aspire for pub
lie office, whether they be candidate
for president, for congress, for state
legislatures or any other office"
President Gompers and Secretary
Frank Morrison of the A. F. of L.,
and James O'Connell, president of the
A. F. of L. metal trades department,
were selected as an executive COM
mittee, and empowered to secure such
assistants as may be necessary to
make the declaration effective.

FiIipinOS Ask to Be
Granted Freedom

Washington - Secretary Kalaw. If
the Philippine commission of indie
pendence, wants some one to define
the terms ability" capacity" and
Sufficient education" as applied to
the Filipinos.
Capacity for self-government,
says the secretary, 'is as broad and
elastic as the world, and if that
should be the criterion for the
granting of Philippine independence,
America might as we'll say to III
FiLpinos: 4 will give you indie
pendence when it pleases me to do
So
"When America, through her con-
gress, officially told the Filipino peo-
pie that they would be granted their
independence as soon as they coul
establish a stable government, no alb
stract or obscure condition was
meant. Stable government, accord
ing to American usage, means a
certain, definite thing.
"The official representative of the
United States in the Philippine
Islands, the governor general, has re-
ported both to the American congress
and the administration, that the
Filipino people have fulfilled the
specification. He said: The Filipino
people have established the stable
government demanded by congress as
prerequisite for the granting Of
independence, namely, a government
elected by the suffrage of the people,
which is supported by the people,
which is capable of maintaining or lel
and of fulfilling it's international
obligations

Washington - Congress has given
encouragement and support to auto
cratic and reactionary policies AMI It's
dominating thought has been the re-
preston of labor, say representatives
of the Aemrican Federation of Labos
in a declaration for non-paftlsar
political action at the forthcoming
campaign and election.
The declaration was authorized by
the last A. F. of l.. convention and
the conference of December - last,
which was attended by representa-
tives of the A. F. of l.. national and
international affiliates, the railroad
brotherhoods and farmers organiza-
tions.
The declaration is signed by presi-
dent Gompers and associate members
of the A. F. of L. executive council,
the presidents and secretaries of the
various A. F. of L. departments; John
P. Frey, editor international Molders'
Journal; Mrs. Sara A. Conboy, secre-
tary United Textile Workers; Miss
Anna Fitzgerald, president Women's
International Union Label League;
Miss Melinda Scott of the United
Felt, Panama and Straw Hat Trim
mers and Operators and Miss Anna
Neary of the international Brother
hood of Bookbinders.
"The record of every aspirant for
public office must be thoroughly
analysed, stated in unmistakable
language and given the widest pos
sible publicity. Labor's friends and
enemies must be definitely known" "
it is stated.
"To this end the A. F. of l.. has
created the national non-partisan
political campaign committee and it
now calls upon all affiliated and
recognized labor organizations to
create district and local committees
to cooperate with the national COM
mittee and to coordinate their eff
forts.'
The declaration notifies hostile SEN
ators, congressman and other public
officials that they will be fought at
the primaries, during the campaign
and on election day by organized
wage earners and sympathizers.
"No favorable legislative action
upon the recommendations contained
in the A. F. of L. reconstruction pro-
gram, or those expressed at the De-
cember conference, has been taken by
congress-" says the declaration. "ln-

Want 1t Made Strong
WANT THE SEDITION LAW TO
COVER INTENT"
Present Laws Can Punish Overt Acts
But Would Invest the Judicial
Department With Power
of Mind Reading

Washington - Attorney General
Palmer told the house judiciary COM
mittee that the Sterling Graham Sc
dition bill was too drastic, although
he favored legislation that would con-
troll revolutionary intent"
The attorney generals testimony
indicated that there is no fundamental
difference between him and advocates
of the Sterling Graham bills. He
seems to favor a molasses covered
sedition law, which would be after
ward enlarged by federal judges and
district attorneys. The Sterling
Graham bill does not disguise its pur-
pose to make federal judges and
district attorneys mind readers and
controllers of press and speech.
Opponents of sedition legisl 4ti0r
show that the federal criminal code
gives officials ample power to pro-
tect the government against those
who preach violence. If a man ad-
vocates force against the government
or its laws, he commits a criminol
act. If he conspires or plots for the
same purpose he can be punished un-
der existing statutes.
Sedition law advocates agree that
present laws can punish these overt
acts, but they want to reach "revo-
lutionary intent" The question then
arises? What is revolutionary in
tent?" The seditionites reply that
the court shall decide each particular
case. And herein is the real difference
between the seditionites and their op-
ponents.
If a sedition law was in force dur
ing the coal and steel strikes prac-
tically any federal jury would respond
to the frenzy that the public was
lashed into and hold that the "intent"
Of these strikers was to destroy the
governemnt.
Under a sedition law when trade
unionists urge the election of federal
judges this could be held as evidence
of revolutionary intent" as the
initial move to undermine our system
of government.
If a man held unorthodox views on
the money question, on the land ques.
ton, on domestic or foreign govern
mental policies or on injunction
judges these could be construed as
Revolutionary intent" on the ground
that the man was really aiming at
weakening respect for government as
a preliminary to openly advocating
its overthrow.
1t is agreed that the Sterling Cra-
ham bill will not pass the house in
its present form and it's hackers are
discussing the Davey sedition bill,
written by Attorney General Palmer
and introduced by Congressman
Davey of Ohio.
If this bill passes it will accomplish
everything desired by the most ard
ent sedition law advocate. 1t en-
powers courts to ascertain the mental
attitude of man~and then punish
him.

Ottawa, Ontario-In a bulletin is.
sued by the Trades and Labor Con-

has never been clearly defined, and it
must always remain too much mat
ter for personal judgment rather than
celarly defined fact"
