EXPECTS ATTEMPT
 AT ANTI-TOBACCO
 STATE LEGISLATION

That there will be proposed legisla- ton against the use of tobacco in the state of Arizona during the coming session of the state legislature is the belief of Con Cronin, state librarian. who has received numerous requests from members elect for data on the subject.
 While there are threats with every legislative session that drastic anti tobacco laws will be made, they usual ly dwindle away. However. the move ment has been so strong in certain counties of the state that in one coun- ty tobacco is only sold in two of the cities The sale of tobacco has vir- tually been stopped in Navajo county, 1t is said, and those who are "agin' it" are so dead set against the use of the weed that they are going to at tempt to at least start something with the legislature.
 It is said that many people who would not otherwise be opposed to tobacco may be won over by the fact of it's use by minors. While it is declared that Arizona has one of the best anti sale to minors laws of any state, 1t is generally conceded that the law is not being vigorously enforced.
 Mir. Cronin, who has prepared as many as eight measures having to do with unlIorm legislation on a variety of subjects, is still being urged to pre- pare other measures, and may pos sibly draft measure which will have to do with making the divorce laws more drastic
 He has received what he terms a re- markable bill covering every phase of automobile legislation The bill was drawn by the leading automobile in- dustries and the national association of traffic officers. An effort is being made to have each of the 42 states in the union holding legislative sessions this winter to adopt the law, which 1t is believed will put stop to auto thefts.

98 Per Cent For Strike
(By Federated Press)

Washipgton-On the eve of the bi-
ennial convention of the United Mine
Workers of America, announcement
is made by Warren S. Stone that the
vote of the four railway transporta-
ton brotherhoods authorizing a ma
tionwide strike is probably SO per
cent affirmative - development
which may lead to a general shut
down of the mining industry witnouS
action on the part of the organized
miners.
In view of this condition, the United
Mine Workers convention will have
to deal with the issue raised at It's
Cleveland convention in 1919, as to
forming an alliance with the railroad
workers to promote the adoption OF
the Plumb Plan for NATURALIZATION
and characterization of railroads and
mines.
At Cleveland, the delegates voted
unanimously for naturalization. They
instructed their officers to proceed t.
negotiate an agreement and JOINT ac-
tion with the railroad workers. to en-
act the Plumb Plan into law. ltesl-
dent Lewis is expected to make re-
port on the plans h. has made the
conferences be has held, and the I'M
mediate outlook for progress in this
direction.
y last majority of the coal miners
~ the United States have suffered
from The failure of the claw Of supply
and demand" to give them erpl ~
.nent IN their industry this year.
Farnle re and small business mel have
had rc money with which to buy coal
until after the marketing of the sea
sons crops. Dealers have waite to
place orders, hoping for dro1 III
prices. Lacking orders, the crazy
system of competitive production of
fuel has stood still. Today the pro-
duction is so far behind the total lie
quired for the winter that it would
be impossible to catch up with the
need if all the mines were to operate
at full capacity for the next four
months. AS the mines cannot operate
at full capacity unless railroad car
supply is adequate, and as the car
supply is short because the railroads
have not kept their cars in repair,
the result is easily to be foreseen--
there will be coal famine, suffering
and lying propaganda to the effect
that the coal miners have held up pro-
duction by "profteering w'ges."
The 90 per cent of the locomotive
engineers, firemen, trainmcr and con
ductors who have authorize their Of
fetal spokesmen to bring on a strike,
if necessary to safeguard their stan
dard of living, have not definitely
ordered strike. They still hope to
avoid one. The United Mine Work
ers, by their action in convention, can
and doubtless will materially assist
them to present such a front to the
organized reaction that break will
be delayed or prevented. 1t now
seems likely that the mine workers
will call the attention of the country
to the inhuman and wastefdl results

LABOR AND POLITICAL ACTION

Speaking before the Rotary Club
of New York City, Sir George Croydon
Marks, a reactionary member Of the
British Parliament, sounded a warn
ing to American business men against
permitting trades unions to gain poll
tical power. Commenting on the
outcome of the British coal strike he
said:
"The trade unions have learned that
they cannot control industry. And
let me say to you in passing never
permit the trade unions Of America
to become a political party. Stop that
at any cost. The trend in America
is The trend from which we have suf-
fered in England. Take warning
from what we have undergone"
Ii is not the aim of the American
labor movement to dominate inJns'r.
or public life to the exclusion of other
elements in society. What the wage
Gaming class, however, does aspn e
To is Joint control of the con lltions
under which it tolls. That the capital
istic management alone should die
tate the terms and conditions pre-.
srpposes that the wage-earning class
is i'll a state of economics impotence,
II labor should in addition be seeking
participation in the management and
cont oil of industry, it is beIausa this
aspiration is postulate Of social
justice and aims at create" industrial
efficiency.
AS for the political activity Of the
trades unions, why should politics be
the sacred presence of big business
and special privilege? If the wage
earners have legitimate economics
interests which can be safeCuarded
cn!y by political action, the letter is
the most prudent and right JUS course
Tor them TO take.
Sir George and those to whom he
directed his warning are not con-
celned about the moral and constitu-
ticnal rights of the worker to have
recourse to political action if they see
fiji. What worries them is the pros
rect of workers gradual, shaking
off the political afiliation which
hcln them to parties that were inter-
ested only in issues that inu el to the
benefit of the industrial and fnanca al
pC,gers that be. That labo, should
press it's own issues and take inde-
pendent action, is, of course from
their viewpoint, disturbing thing to
contemplate.

STRIKE AT SOMERSET BRICK co.

The 70 or 80 employees of the Belden
Brick Co. at Somerset, Ohio, recently
formed union to resist any further
reduction in wages, the third within
six months having been ordered, the
last cut bringing wages down to $2.88
for nine hour day. The company
refused to accede to the, demands of
the union with the result that strike
was called and the men walked out.

SHERIDAN THE NEXT VICTIM?

Apparently no recent trial IN any
of the courts has attracted more gen
eral interest that the hearing OF the
sensational charges brought against
Chief of Police James Sheridan by the
Licking County Law Enforcement
League which was brought up in the
municipal court room at one O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon.
Chief Sheridan, who was charged
by the League to be guilty OF almost
every crime on the calendar except
actual murder, was represented by
James R. Fitzgibbon and l.. {. Rus
sell, while Phil Smythe, E. I. john
son and Henry Ashcraft, assiste1 by
Chas. O'Bannon and "Pinkey" Thomp-
son, engineered the prosecution.
Immediately upon the opening OF
the doors the court room was packed
with spectators and the oyeTtio"
iammed the Railways and extended tt
the street. So great was the crowd
that it was necessary to eject those
on the outside in order to enable per
sons connected with the case to enter
the court room.
At the commencement of the case,
which was held before the civil sefv-
ice commission consisting of j. W.
Rutledge, C. w. Kent and W. I. Suter,
Mr. Fitzgibbon entered demurrer to
make the charges more definite. but
this was overruled by the commission.
and after deciding that the number of
witnesses should be limited to twelve
on each side, the examination was
begun.
No special sensational evidence was
developed, and in some instances the
stores told by the witnesses for the
prosecution were disproved when tnev
were cross examined. A few tits on
/ legal points between the opposing
counsel occasionally enlivened the pro-
ceedings and kept the big crowd in
good humor.
Although no time was unneCeSSarl-
ly consumed, the examination was not
concluded until half-past ten o'clock
at which time an adjournment was
taken until Wednesday evening at
seven o'clock.
Wednesday Night Session
AS at the first hearing the room
and hallway were packed when seven
o'clock arrived, and those who were
few minutes late in arriving were
disappointed in hearing the argu-
ments of the opposing counsel, who in
twenty minute speeches reviewed the
evidence given the day before. Their
remarks were certainly to the point,
and their estimation of tie chal acter
and standing of some of the witness IS
was, to say the least, far from com
plimentary.
At the conclusion of the oratorical
exhibition, the commission, after a
short consultation announced that the
case would be taken under advise
ment and a final decision announced
at later date.

1t becomes necessary for all those
who really wish for better conditions
for themselves not only to join the
union but to take a live interest in
it's work, and to assist in making this
world a brighter and better one for
workers than it has been in the past.
