Washington, Oct. 9.-The state de-
partment announces that "on and

evitably are led to other means to
obtain redress.
"a Bourbon supreme court would
make reconstruction by the peaceful
method of political action impossible.
Can you afford to throw the blanket
of despair over those pursuing the
enhancement of their country's well
fare through the ballot box?
"Let us avoid the further prostitu-
ton of the courts to the interests of
privilege.
"Our jails are now crowded with
some of the select citizenry of
America. | am not attempting to be
facetious. The failing of men at
the behest of the bloated financial
interests is one of the greatest
menaces dangling over the heart of
America.
"The attempt to cripple the union
labor movement by imprisoning men
like Howatt in Kansas because he
will not abandon labor's powerful
weapon, the strike, because the coal
magnates don't like strikes, shows
how important it is to beware that
the courts do not fall into the hands
of Wall st. OF course, Howatt, too,
should not have been so aggressive
in championing the interests of the
coal miners. He should remember
that the coal magnates only netted
trifling profits of something like
1000 per cent.
"You men of labor know too of
the fight now being waged in Min
nesota against organized labor. A
number of the labor leaders there
have been jailed and the foes of the
toling masses comouflaging under
the name of the Citizens Alliance
are out for more victims. These
men are separated from their fam
lilies, incarcerated in prisons because
the rabid open shop fire eaters are
aiming their darts at the destruction
of the solidarity of the toiling
masses. But they wouldn't be in
confinement were it not for the

Rock Island, Illinois, Oct. 10. --
aD-Pointing out that the next
president would probably be respon-
sible for the appointment of four
members of the Supreme Court, Par
ley Parker Christensen, Farmer-La-
Dor candidate for president, in an adj
dress here today, declared that the
election of Harding as President
would be knockout blow to those
working for social reconstruction
through political action, and an invi-
tation to those espousing revolution
and direct action: Mr.. Christensen
referred to the action of the courts
in remanding to prison a number
of Minnesota and Kansas labor lead
ers and declared that a judiciary of
the type that would be appointed by
Harding meant comforting stran-
gle hold on the courts to the inter
ests of special privilege.
"The next president" said Mr..
Christensen, "will probably appoint
at least four new justices on the
Supreme bench. You know whom
Harding would name for the places.
He would pick men like himself-re-
dictionaries. These men would. have
power greater than the president
himself. If a president doesn't please
you, you can get rid of him at the
end of four years. But Supreme
Court judges stay for life and the
restful life of Washington seems to
tend to prolong the number of their
years.
"You all know the power of the
courts and particularly of the Su-
preme tribunal. Even should you elect
a progressive president in 1924, what
chance would any progressive legis-
lation have before court packed
with Wall Street favorites?
"The man who thus votes for
Harding or for Cox is not only COM
hitting the country to Wall Street
for the next four years, but he is
committing the country to the in
terests of special privilege for the
full period of the life Of these Su-
preme judges to be chosen by the
successful candidate Now what is
going to happen with the courts
acting as the mouthpiece of Wall

Spread of COastwise
 Strike Is F0reseen
nY A..soIa.,6 rrsss

New York, March 17.-Possfbiiity that the strike of coastwise longshore- men here might extend to other ma rine workers was foreseen today in an announcement that marine engineers, railway port and terminal workers. master mates and pilots and lighter age captains will hold a joint meeting Friday to formulate demands for wage increases of 10 to IS per cent. These organizations, through the central unions recently made demands for more wages, which they claimed boat owners were disinclined to consider.
 Three men were injured today in fights between strike breakers and strike sympathizers. One striker was severely cut about the head in fight which took place when two negroes attempted to pass the longshoremen's pickets. Another striker was held for the grand jury on complaint that he had shot and wounded a strike breaker.
 The building trade employers ex- pressed concern today over the delay in lumber shipments caused by the strike. It was said that lumber now on coast wise ships tied up in the harbor ag gregates 2.000 900 feet.

BRUCE KENNEDY
 DIES IN MOBILE
 AFTER BREAKDOWN
Was Wen-Kown Through out South as Organizer and Official of Commer.
 cial Organizations

Montgomery. March f7-CBpecial) J. Bruce Kennedy, past president of the seuthern Association of Commercial Sec rstaries, and managing director of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, died in Mobile inirmary early Wednesday morning as a result of a nervous break down.
 First as 6 newspaper man and later in commercial organization work. MT. Ken- nedy was known over all the south. -As one of the four-minute speakers for the government during the war period he made 8 nationwide reputation.
 Leading newspapers of New Orleans, Montgomery and Birmingham grew stronger under his comprehensive grasp of news values in the two past decades.
 Tn later years Mir. Kennedy'a manage mont of the affairs of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce overshadowed his fournalistio successes. and at the time of his death few remembered him as other than great commercial engineer. The Montgomery organization was his fetish. Some weeks ago there developed q movement to partially disintegrate the institution, which had been made from the affi1iation of five strong organza- tions that existed years ago in. the Ala bayna capital Bruce Kennedy worked night and day to reweld the contending factions and suffered g mental break down that ended in his death.
 Mr. Kennedy is survived by his widow and i've children; two. brothers, H. B. mnd R. K. Kennedy. of Birmingham; three sisters. Mrs. T. c. Buckshaw and Mrs D. NJ. Carmichael of Birmingham and Mrs. J. D. Reveley of Monterey, Va.

AbERCROMb|E HAS
 REPLY ID O'NEAL. Says PrOhibitiOnists Should Regard Statement as a
 Battle Cry

Montgomery, March Especial. )- It should be regarded as a battle-cry and a challenge to every true-blue, loyal prohibitionist in the state, and should bestir them to take up arms Ill defense of the principles for which they have so long fought" declared Dr. John W. Abererompie, former cong ngressman-at-1arge and noted Ala bama educator. now candidate for the senate, in referring to the platform de- ciaration issued Wednesday morning by former Gov. Emmet O'Neal, who came out strongly against constitu- tional prohibition and the Nolstead en- forcement act.
 T have fought for prohibition all my life,s said Dr. Abercrombie, "and as one who voted for the submission of the federal amendment, shall resent the attempt of any man or any set of men to break down the laws that hayS been placed on the statutes. or to null lify the eighteenth amendment.
 T am not unmindful that the Ger man brewers of this country will spend millions to undo the prohibition laws of the land, and I regard them as ene- mics of good government. I shall fight them just as l fought Berkman and Emma Goldman, alien enemies, whom I helped to deport from this country, m my capacity as solicitor and acting secretary of the department of labor at Washington.
 We are face to face with the great est fight in which we have ever been engaged, and I have no disposition to lay down my arms, in cause which has been so close to my heart. When the people of the United States were spending more money in tn saloons of this country than in the department stores every year, was surprised that any man would, in this day of high liv- ing costs raise his voice in defens of a traffic that was contrary to all the laws of economy. morality and good government"
 Dr. Abercrombie has established headquarters at thu Exchange hotel here. and will issue his platform in a few days. He has canvassed the state by letter and telegram and says he is delighted with the assurances of sup port he has received.

 Toward the latter part of January the epidemic began, reaching it's peak in the third week of February and then diminishing until the end of the month, so that early March saw the practical finish of the malady.
 There have been some scattering eases since, and maybe some new ones will again develop, but the health au- thorities say the epidemic is now a thing of the past.
