Stealing the Judges Watch

A gentleman once fell asleep on a
train from Bournemouth to London.
when he arrived at Vauxhall he found
that his watch and chain were gone
Inc complications that followed make
an interesting story, which Montasu
Williams tells in his book, Leaves Of a
Life. The gentlemsn's sole companion
In the carriage was busily engaged
reading a newspaper.
HAS anyone entered this compart-
ment while | have been asleep ?" ask
ed the gentleman, turning to him.
NO. was the answer.
Then, sir, | must request Won 10
tell me what you have done with
my watch"
Inc other traveller protested his in
nocence and said he had seen no
watch and that he knew nothing ahou,
the matter. When the train arrived a,
It's destination the suspected man was
taken to the police court. where
charge was laid against him before
Sir James lngham. He was remanded
until the next day.
The next morning, when the prisoner
was put in the dock, the prosecutor
entered the witness box. The latter
wore a very detected appearance and.
before any questions were put to him,
said he wished to make a statement.

Sir James did all he could to throw
oil upon the troubled waters.

how liable we are to make these mis-.

When the business of the court was
over, Sir James Ingham wended his
way home. On entering his drawing
room, he met one of his daughters,
who exclaimed, 81 suppose you got
your watch all right? ?"
"Well, my DEAR" replied the chief
magistrate, cas- matter of fact, went

replied, "but gave it to the man from

There had been an old thief at the
back of the room who heard Sir James
giving his experience. He had slipped
out, taken hanson and driven to Sir
James lnkham's residence, and, rep
resented himself to be a bona fde
messenger, obtained the valuable
watch, which was never heard OF
again.

How They Love Allen

Topeka, Kan.-The "high esteem"
in which Kansas trade unionists hold
Governor Allen is indicated by this
statement in the Kansas Trades
Unionist:
"a local paper announces that Gov
ernor Allen has been suggested as a
possible successor to Secretary w. B.
Wilson, head of the United States de-
partment of labor. This position is
about the only one to which the gov
ernor has not heretofore aspired, and
the only one for which he is most
eminently fitted-through long years
of training and environment. If. Mr..
Harding is wise he will act upon the
suggestion Immediately upon ascend
ing the white house throne and we
shall hasten to wire our endorsement.
1t will be recalled that Secretary
Wilson came up from the ranks of
the miners, the governors knowledge
of mining would permit the carrying
out of similar policy as that inau-
gurated by Mr.. Wilson but with less
expense to the government, for the
reason that under the governors i'm
proved method the department of
mediation and conciliation would be
unnecessary. Labor would hail his
appointment with joy while of course
expressing Jegret at the states loss
of the greatest executive it has ever
had. From an obscure post of duty
in France to the governorship of
great state and to a cabinet position
in the span of two short years, is a
pace few friends of labor have ever
scored. Long live the govt"

Ancient Union Foe
Getting Very Polite

Seattle-James A. Emery, general
counsel for the national association
of manufacturers, is getting very
polite in his war against organized
labor
Mr.. Emery is one of the little Jack
Horners of anti-union employers.
For years he has been raging up and
down the country with his fire
alarm message against trade union
ism, and now he tells business men
in this city to "study the demands of
labor instead of hurling epithets at
workers with new IDEAS" The speaker
did not seem like the Emery of old
whose pleas for "the right to work"
have thrilled cheap labor employers.
Some trade unionists whisper that
Emery adjusted himself to environ
ment. Business men in this city,
through their associated industries,
have failed to destroy organized la
Dor. Their rough stuff has only
strengthened the workers lines alia
given Seattle an uneviable reputation.
Another organization has been
formed by these business men, and
the workers believe that the new
federated industries of Washington
will adopt smoother methods. The
strikebreaker and thug will be re-
placed by "can't-strike" laws, which
will be urged at the coming session
of the legislature.
Under these conditions, Emery put
his war whoops in cold storage and
affected broad, liberal, patronizing
attitude toward the workers, while
criticising employers for "using shop
worn sayings in condemning Others"
The business men cheered this
eastern wonder and the word was
quietly passed among those present
that Washington must have an anti
strike law similar to Kansas.

High-Ups Go Free
MOBBERS IN BISBEE ESCAPE
PUNISHMENT
Indictments Dismissed Against Mine
Owners, Bankers and Business
Men Who MObbed and De-
ported Workers

Bisbee, Arizona-The mobbing of
1,186 workers, who were run out Il
this city, in July, 1917, at the point
of rifles, will not be punished by the
law. Indictments against 206 of the
mobbers have been dismissed upon
the motion of County Attorney
French. The first of the defendants,
a hardware merchant, was acquitted
last April after a trial that lasted
three months.
The county attorney said it was
impossible to go on with the trials
because of the inability to get wit
nesses and the strong sentiment
against a continuance of the cases.
Trade unionists are not surprised
at the quashing of these indictments.
Special interests in this state, headed
by copper barons, have maintained a
continuous opposition to the prose-
cution. The plea was made that
court costs would increase taxation.
Many important witnesses for the
state disappeared and demands for
vindication of the law were answered
by the charge "disloyalty."
The mobbing grew out of a miners
strike called the previous June. The
mobbers rounded up their victims,
and loaded them into cattle cars and
freight cars. They were taken to the
desert, IL miles from Columbus, N.
Mex, where the men were unloaded.
The United States Army went to the
relief of the men and removed them
to the military camp at, Columbus
until they dispersed.
The sheriff of the county boldly
declared in court that he was re-
sponsible for the thuggery. He said
he was actuated by patriotic motives.
The mob included business men,
bankers and officials of copper mine
companies.

Want It Kept Dark
ANTHRACITE OWNERS EVADE
PUBLICITY
Fearing Public Condemnation They
Refuse to Make Report to Fed
eral Trade Commission
of Production Cost

Observation-Disclosures coal own
ers fear the truth, is the claim of w.
Jett Lauck, economist for anthracite
miners in their recent arbitration pro.
ceedings.
"The attitude of the anthracite IN
dustry," he said, "is strictly mega.
tive and devoid of any sense of public
responsibility. AS matter of fact,
at the recent hearing of the anthra-
cite commission they even clai~cd
that the public was not interested in
the proceedings. A further illustra-
tion of that attitude is furnished by
their refusal at the present time to
make any reports to the federal trade
commission showing their cost of pro-
duction.
"The public should demand and Sc
cure an investigation which would
break down and effectively turn to
public benefit the present monopolis-
tic and exploiting alliance between
the misunderstanding railroads, the
producing companies and the
coal-sales companies"
Mr.. Lauck called attention to the
elaborate data and exhibits on an
thracite prices and producing costs
that were prepared by the miners for
submission to the recent anthracite
wage commission, appointed by the
president. These exhibits were ex-
cluded from the records on the plea
of the coal owners that it was not the
business of the commission, which had
been created to settle a wage dispute,
to pry into the cost of anthracite pro-
duction and it's relation to wages and
the cost of living.
"The coal owners" said Mr..
Lauck, "are afraid of publicity,
They strenuously opposed the sub
mission of our evidence, and finally,
on purely technical grounds, prevailed
upon the chairman to exclude these
fundamental figures"

Many Empty Coal Cars

Altoona, Pa. - The Times-Tribune
of this city quotes "high official of
the Pennsylvania railroad" as author
ity for the statement that "there are
living between the outlets of the Pitts
burgh coal fields and Harrisburg
5000 loads of coal unsold."
"On branch lines and overflow
yards there are slowed thousands of
empty cars, which, under present ar
rangements, will continue thus be-
cause coal companies will not mine
coal for which ther, is no demand
This will mean fewer hours work
for miners and less freight for the
railroads. If factories and manu-
fucturning plants must close down
because the cost of operation, due to
the high price of coal is too great,
many more will be thrown out of
work.
"That the public has been gouged
there is no question. A coal broker

a cold thousand dollars on a single
car of II tons of coal. Another is
quoted as making cleanup of $1O,-
900 on 16 cars.
"Miners in the bituminous district
get from $1.14 to $1.38 ton. Adding
to this the cost of unskilled labor,
equipage, mine ties and props, orig
inal cost of mineral rights and all
other items of expense that enter into
the mining of coal, and add to that
a royalty, and the cost of coal per ton
ranges from $3.17 to Sc ton at the
mine mouth.
"Now when it is known that coal,
delivered to customers in various
parts of the state, costs anywhere
from $3.50 to $18 ton, it does not
take mathematician to figure out
that some person has hand in the
pie who is earning nothing, but is
simply after his pound of flesh"
