COURT HAS FATE OF THE COLLECTIVE
 BARGAIN IN HAND
Validity of Coal Workers Indict-
 ments Attacked Vigor- ously by Hughes.

Organized workers all over the coun- try are awaiting with interest the de- cision of Judge Anderson, of the Fed eral court, on the question of whether the indictment returned by the federal grand jury against 125 coal operators and officials and members of the United Mine Workers of America for alleged violations of the Lever law IS valid indictment. This question which was argued by the coal miners as being one of the most important to the workers of this country that was ever presented to court, because 1t involves the right of the workers to bargain collectively with their employers; their right to adopt and follow peaceable means for the redress of wrongs; and whether men may be indicted for an alleged offense under a law which the miners say is so vague and uncertain as to make it impossible for them to ascer- tain the exact offense charged, or what constitutes the offense with which they may be charged.
 Charges Evans Hughes, the eminent New York lawyer, represented the miners. He tore sinto the Lever law and pointed out what he designated as its inherent weaknesses, and he quoted an endless number of court decisions to sustain his contention that law such as the Lever law could not be con- stitutional, and, if held to be consti- tutional, it could not be held to be valid because of it's vagueness and uncer- tainty: MT. Hughes pointed out that the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution says that property shall not be taken withouta due process of law, and that the Sixth Amendment guarantees that a defendant shall be fully informed as to the offense with which he is charged. He said that an indictment under the Lever law vio- 1ates both of these amendments
 One of the most interesting points raised against the indictment by Mir Hughes was that the Lever law was unenforceable against persons in the coal industry SO long as the United States fuel administration was in ex- | istence.

MACHINISTS' BIG CONVENTION GOES
 TO ROCHESTER
Quadrennial Session, First Since War, Will Open on Sept. 20
 in Flower City.

Rochester has been selected by the executive board of the International Association of Machinists in which to hold the quadrennial convention of the International. The date selected is September 2Oth, and the executive board will convene there week pre- vious to make arrangements and to de- wise a program.
 This convention will bring to Koch ester about 2,500 delegates, and an equal number of visitors, marking 1t as one of the largest conventions ever held there.
 There were many rivals to Rochester, as Cleveland and Cincinnati machinists were loyalty supporting the claims of their respective cities. In addition, Toronto. Ont, put in a strong bid, in- sisting that the Machinists visit the Canadian city, and gave as their strong est argument that the American Fed eration of Labor had decided to meet in Montreal in June, and that Canada had more scenic and other attractions than the United States. Chicago, tooI tuck with Rochester, Cleveland, Gin cinnati, Toronto and Chicago all clam bring for the honor and distinction of entertaining the International
 Conventions of the International As sociation of Machinists are held quad rennial1y, the last gathering being in Baltimore, Md, in 1916, just prior to our entrance into the war, and the September meeting will be the first of an International scope since peace was declared and reconstruction started Its decisions will have an important effect on the relations between labor and capital.
 At the head of the I. A. of M. is William H. Johnston its able president and an influential leaders in the A. F. of L. Mir. Johnston's administration of the l. A. of M. presidency has been | marked by creditable achievements. There are 1,6O0 lodges in the l. A. oi M, each entitled to one delegate for l every 200 members. and as the Balti- | more convention allowed lodges to de fray the expenses of one delegate al least, this means that there will be about 2,50O delegates.
 The l. A. of M embraces machinists tool and diemakers, railroad machin ists, locomotive machinists and rail road shopmen, and is eIne of the mos powerful branches of the A. F. of L. having a membership of 5OO,O0O.

WE'RE "TooTEN'' TOO.
Going to Know Who We re Vot ing for and Why, This Fall.

The following communication to the National Labor Journal of Pittsburgh is worth reprinting. Read it: Editor National Labor Journal:
 The other day I read statement in the daily press that caused me to doff my soc cap (which, by the way cost me $20O, due to my being contributor to the Prohteers' League), i'll reverence to the author, who was none other than pr. Royal Meeker, Commissioner of La Dor Statistics of the Department of Labor. His remarks were as follows:
 By carefully planried and lavishly financed campaign of misrepresentation, Big Business has succeeded in magnify ing the defects and obscuring or dis crediting the benefits of pub1ic-con- trolled and managed enterprises. The people have been bamboozled into re- linquishing all effective control over distribution and prices of food and fuel and they have been made to appear to clamor for the return to private man. agement of the railroads, telegraph and telephone lines and radio stations.
 Congress, instead of formulating a progressive, constructive program to re- store industries and especially agricul- ture, to stable peace-time condition, is
 
 most unhappy results.'
 I also made profound bow to the paper which. published 1t, for the reason those who labor, even though 1t was but once in decade
 President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, in a recent ad- dress, said:
 Not practical thing has been done to prevent the soaring of prices of the l necessities of life; laws made to pro- l tect the people have been turned against l them, while the profteers chuckle with glee."
 Why was it that the refrigerator l ships, namely Polar Star" "Neponset,' and "Moccasin,' built by the United States Shipping Board and put in Ar l genuine service to bring back cargoes O. beef and butter from South America | to assist in lowering the high cost O. these commodities, never functioned Il that capacity?

JUST PURE BUNK. |"
Woolen Trust Head Pulls Wool
 Until Profits Are Shown.

The 1919 record profits just an- nounced by the American Woolen Com pany recalls the spectacular fight for cheap living costs made last fall by William M. Wood, president of this trust He objected to high prices charged his employees by Lawrence (Mass.) merchants, and held many con- ferences with these business men.
 It is hardly worth while," he said, ito raise wages and then have the cost of living simultaneously increased out of proportion. Something must be done at once to reduce the high cost of living. 1 am doing this from Chris ton point of view.'
 When he came to Lawrence his em- ployes received him with shouts and flag waving.
 Now it is found that while MT Wood was urging others to reduce costs his company, with half a hundred mills, made net profit last year ot over 15,000000.

IMMIGRATION LAW.
Proposed Change Would Make
 Alien Prove His Worth.

One of the most important subjects that will be submitted to the next ses- sion of Congress for its consideration will be bill which the bureau of i'm migration, Department of Labor, will urge tor passage, reversing the policy which requires the government to prove the unftness of the immigrant for ad- mission to this country and placing upon the alien the responsibility of proving that he would make desirable citizen If admitted
 The proposed law is based upon what the immigration bureau has learned during the war, and if enacted it is ex- pected to bar many undesirables who can come in under the law as it now stands, because the immigration officials have no way of proving their unfltness.
 Further, under the proposed law, the danger of the spread of Bolshevism in this country, through its being brought here by Europeans tainted with 1t, would be very much lessened, for a close watch would be kept on the inn migrant for five years after he reaches our shores and is admitted. Registra- ton would be required at the time of entry, and once year for four years thereafter. At each new registration the immigrants progress toward citi- zensh1p would be recorded, and the pen alty for non-registration, with higher fees for the immigran, who does not learn to read, write and speak English.
 What the immigration to this country will be as Europe settles down after the war is every mans guess, but it is likely that as many as possible will want to escape war burdens over there and that this country is just as attractive to the down-trodden of every land as it ever was. The tendency is to restrict inn migration, and the passage of the pres ent law, with its i1literacy test, which went into effect month before our that direction. But so far as can be seen in the provisions of the proposed law there is nothing that would make it hard for desirable aliens, to settle here, and much that is necessary to keep out those who should not be allowed in
