An Expensive Luxury
THE "CAN'T STRIKE" LAW IS A
COSTLY, VENTURE
Not Much Is Accomplished in Seven
Months, But Law Has Already
Cost $54,95O.OO

Topeka, Kan.-The publicity bureau
of the trade union-farmer non-parti-
san political campaign in this state is
enlightening Kansas voters on the
cost of Gov. Aliens "can't-strike" law
and it's power over every citizen.
1t is stated that the law has been
in existence a little over seven
monthse and vouchers on file at the
state house show that the industrial
court, which enforces the act, has
spent $54,95O.99. During that period
increased rates were granted to 81
corporations and 13 industrial cases
were reviewed. Five of the industrial
disputes were individual employees of
the Joplin & Pittsburg railway, One
of the cases was the unorganized en-
ployes of the Great Bend -four mills,
and on whom the court took compass
sion and recommended work day of
less than IL hours; no wage increase
was granted.
The jurisdiction of this court ex-
tends beyond stopping strikes. Other
power of these irresponsible three
judges are:
preserving the public peace, pro-
tecting the public health and morals,
the general welfare, private security,
preventing in dustrial strife, disorder
and waste, and securing regular and
orderly conduct of the businesses di-
rectly affecting the living conditions
of the people"
GAS thus seen," continues the trade
union-farmer press bureau, "the
powers of this court are almighty
civil and criminal, secular and spirit
ual-nothing is exempt.

WORKERS MAY PICKET
Oregon's Anti injunction Law Is Upheld the State
Supreme Court

Portland, Ore.-The state supreme
court has upheld the Oregon anti-in-
junction law and has set aside a court
decision that there is no such thing
as peaceful picketing. The court also
rejects favorite claim of anti-union-
lists by holding that strike or lock-
out does not terminate relations be-
tween employer and employe. Rela-
tions between these parties, says the
court, are not the same as between
an employer and a stranger seeking
employment.
This decision was made in the case
of the Portland Retail Clerks union,
whose members were enjoined by a
local court from picketing. The su-
preme court ruled that the clerks
have a right to notify trade unioni3ts
and their friends that the firm is un-
fair to organized labor.
The court took the same position in
the case of striking jewelry workers
who were enjoined by a local court,
but added that picketing can not be
maintained to secure the union shop.
Justice Bennett and Bean dissented
from the curious contradiction mat
admits the right to say firm is un-
fair to organized labor, but denies
the right to advertise opponents of
collective bargaining.
In his dissenting opinion Justice
Bennett called attention to this in
consistency and presented series Of
unanswerable arguments based on
morals and fundamental law.
"I can see absolutely no reason"
said this jurist, "why the members
of a labor union, or the union as a
body, have not the same right, for
the same purpose, to peaceably and
queitly persuade their friends and
sympathizers, and such others as will
listen to them, to patronize exclusive
ly firms and business establishments
which are friendly to their cause, and
who are willing to deal with them as
body-to recognize the principle of
collective bargaining, and to refuse
to patronize such firms as are un-
friendly to labor or to any of the
principles for which their organiza-
ton is contending.
"All of US practice a similar right
every day of our ordinary lives. If
one of US buys suit of clothes from
a tailor and thinks he treats him un-
fairly in any way, he tells his friends
about it and advises them and per-
suades them, if he can, to go to some
other tailor to buy their clothes.
"Why should we deny to labor peo-
pie the same right to advise with and

COAL MEN EVADE TAXES

Indianapolis - Coal owners are
padding" operating costs in their
reports to the government for the
purpose of evading the excess profit
tax, is the charge made by Governor
Goodrich of this state. Coal owners
who were drawing salaries of $4,000
and $4,000 a year now pay them
selves 100000 to $4,000. Other ex-
penses are increased by these law
abiding, patriotic gentlemen, who are
thus relieved of paying the govern
ment a large excess profits tax.

Has Nation By Throat
"WALL ST. CONTROL" SEEMS
GRIM REALITY
Small Group of New York Bankers
Sets Rate of Interest and Gov
erns Stock Exchange

Washington-In a statement issued
by Comptroller of the Currency Will
liams it would seem that the term
"Wall street control" is more than a
figure of speech.
The comptroller exercises general
supervision over national banks. He
declares that a group of New York
bankers have the nation by the
throat, and that this "hold up" policy
hampers railroads, industry and even
country store keepers, and is followed
by shut down of factories and un-
employment.
The treasury official says that ev-
cry day in New York a group of
from four to eight men set the rate
of interest for call loans, and that
this rate is posted on the stock ex-
change and is accepted by banks in
that city and elsewhere. Sometimes
the group arrange matters over the
telephone.
Between October 1, 1919, and Au-
gust 1, 1920, loans for total of $780,
100000 were made at rates of Is, 20,
25 and 80 per cent per annum, he
says. Much of this money had been
loaned to the banks by the govern
ment's federal reserve banking system
at interest rates that ranged from
Az to per cent.
The comptroller declares that the
power exercised by this small group
"is a grip on the heart of our COM
merce."
"It permits" he says, "such inter-
ference as fallible human Judgment,
whim or interest may direct with the
natural and orderly movements of
money, the life blood of business"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-10-29

the railroads estimated that they
needed a 40 per cent. increase to yield
6 per cent, the Commission authorized
that increase. Now the railroads say
that they under-estimated their earn
ings and they are back for still higher
rates. If that is not in spirit and
purpose a guaranty, then the word
has another than it's dictionary def
milton.
The fact is that the railroads have
been given a preferred position in in
dustry. They are relieved from the
element of chance They are certain
of dividends, whether management be
good or bad, whether time be prosper
Gus or panicky, whether there is de-
mand for railroads or they are super
1uous. The railroads simply can not
lose. They always win, no matter
how the remainder of the public fares.
1t is a monstrous measure, of
course, and it should have exclusive
attention in the campaign. 1t is do
ing more to destroy our prosperity
and impoverish the people than any
half dozen measures considered in
twenty years could possibly do. The
people are paying more for what they
need and getting less for what they
produce. This is particularly true of
farmers, and if any of them vote for
the reelection of railroad congressman
and senators it will mean that they
are entirely satisfied to be exploited
and would not know what it is to be
dealt with fairly.

WHAT THE LABEL MEANS

1t promotes good citizenship.
1t elevates the standard of labor.
1t protects the home and fosters
family ties.
1t forbids conditions which endan-
ger the health of the community.
1t improves the environment of
those who labor, thereby enhancing
the quality of citizenship.
1t abolishes unsanitary conditions.
1t is hostile to the system of child
labor and is a factor in keeping chill
dren of school age out of the work
shop.

Asks 100000 From
United Mine Workers

Washington-A claim for 100000
damages against the United Mine
Workers of America is being con-
sidered by the United States supreme
court. If the decision of lower courts
is upheld every trade union will be
affected as it will mean that an inter-
national union may be held respon-
sible for loss of business or property
during strikes. The decision differs
from the hatters' case in that the in
dividual hatters we're held responsible
The present case is based on a
strike of miners near Prairie Creek,
Ark, in 1914. The mine was oper-
ated by a Philadelphia broker, whose
venture proved improbable and he
declared for the non union shop.
Guards and strikebreakers were i'm
ported, and strikers were forced to
live in tents. An attack was made
on the tent colony similar to the Lud
low (Col) attack. The miners drove
off their assailants and in the scrim-
mage property was destroyed. A
claim for 100000 damages for loss
of property and business was filed in
the federal courts. The company won
and this was trebled threefold, under
the Sherman antitrust law.
The claim is agaist the United
Mine Workers of America. The Of
ficials of that organization have car
ried the suit to the United States
supreme court and deposited Liberty
bonds to the amount of the claim.

TIIB QUESTION on LEADERSHIP

1t seems to us that In the field of
political endcavor, Hon. Henry Lin
coin Johnson has won first place :.
Regardless Of personal feelings, 1t
seems to us to be the Part Of wisdom
To rally behind him and to give him
that united support to- which his
transcendent judgment and mastery
political acumen have proven him to
be entitled.
DR.. Booker II. Washington for
many years endcavored to be an
Industrial economist in the open and a
political leader behind the scenes :.
That he made mess" OF the latter
leadership is now almost universally
conceded. 1t seems to us that if the
colored leaders OF the country will
give this brainy citizen of color a
chance, a new day will dawn for the
colorcd people in this country in the
matter Of political success and the
regaining OF much Of the ground that
we lost during the Booker r. Wash
tngton regime and that following the
demise Of this great colored educator
It must be admitted that Mr. John
son knows how to achieve results
He won and Hon. r. r. Church, Jr
half won and then lost. Both of
these colorcd leaders will remain for
some time in the eyes of the public
Both are able, resourceful and in a
way financially independent We fay
or Henry Lincoln Johnson as leader,
with the redoubtable Hon. Robert r =,
Church, Jr. as a close second. AS
race men, let us have peace and stand
together in achieving results at the
hands of the incoming administration

PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE
NOMINEE.

The nomination of Governor James
M. Cox of Ohio as candidate for
President of the United States when
the Democratic National Convention
. appeared to be and was hopclessly
dead-lockcd with the open declaration
by Senator Carter Glass, one of the
spokesman for President Wilson that
his nomination was out Of the
, question, is explained by present de-
velopments.
This distinguished statesman Was
on record as being in accord to a
greater or lesser extent With Hon
William j. Bryan on the League Of
Nations question. He was in favor
Of the ratification OF the pact as
brought about by the President Of the
United States without any rcserva-
, tons or the adoption of that instru-
mcnt with reservations.
He was quoted as being in favor
Of maintaining the powers of Congress
; as set forth in the United States
Constitution lie was presumed to
be- mildly wet" and to be in favor
of the modification of the Volstead
Act. For this reason, "split' was
believed to be imminent between the
new leader Of the Democratic Party,
as chosen at San Francisco and the
old leader of the Democratic Party,
who holds the reins of Government at
Washington.
TO Smooth over" any seeming dis
agreements, it was deemed advisable
to have the two statesmen confer and
so Governor Cox journeycd to Wash
mgton, D. G. and sat, down on a
Sunday morning, while other folks
attended church to talk over tho
political questions and to ascertain if
there were any radical disagreements
between them. - e..
The result is now known Of all
men and it ended in a statement that
confirms what we believed before,
namely, that the nomination Of Gov
ernor Cox was brought about by an
