RAIL BOARD
DISACREES WITH
COURT

Chicago.-The railway labor board
dissents' from Federal Judge Sibley's
ruling that the receiver of the Allan
ia, Birmingham & Atlantic railroad
MAJ reduce wages regardless of the
board.
with all due respect to the learn
ed Judge who approved the order, the
said order was beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the district court" said the
board.
The railroad reduced wages and was
ordered to reinstate the rates and
comply with the Cummins-Esch law.
The president of the railroad then re-
signed, and Birmingham bank ask
ed Judge Sibley to appoint receiver.
The court complied with the request,
appointed the former president of the
road, and then indorsed the receivers
action in reducing wages. The en-
ploycs suspended work as result
of this disregard of law, which says
the matter must first be considered by
the railway labor board.

MINERS STARVING
In Alabama Because of Coal
Owners Blacklist
Policy

Birmingham, Ala. - Coal miners
and their families in this state are
starving because of the blacklisting
policy of coal owners.
This condition is the elimination OF
a strike that was forced on the min
ers several months ago. At their So
licitation the United Mine Workers
of America came to their aid and spent
several hundred thousand dollars in
this movement to compel the coal
owners to pay living wage. Troops
were put into the strike zone, cham
bers Of commerce denounced officers
of the Miners Union, and the public
press and every other influence that
the coal owners could muster was lin
ed up against the workers. 1t was
finally agreed to leave the matter IN
the hands of Governor Kilby for set
| tlement and the strike was declared
off. The governors award gave the
miners nothing, while legalizing the
blacklist if the coal owners were so
l
| inclined.
Tie hint was quickly acted upon
and hundreds of miners have been re-
| fnsc,l work, while the.r families are in

Governor kilby IS being denounced
without stint Tor his part in the strike

the public welfare demanded harmony
in the coal industry, and that the
coal owners should improve condi-

WIGGLE INTO LIME
LIGHT

New York Charles Underhill, an
unknown congressman from Massachu-
setts. is the latest to wiggle into the
limelight with an attack on organ
lied labor. The performance was
staged at the convention of the Ma
tional Metal Trades Association, and
every one of the anti -unionists, who
waxed fat through war profits, howl
ed with glee at the TRADE against la
bor, and especially against President
Gompers.
Underhill told the same story that
has been worn threadbare during the
past 20 years.
1t was a great day for the bud
ding lawmaker, who comes from a
near-Boston constituency that is not
ed for it's reaction.

from the so called pool hall ordi-

its purpose the closing of pool

Whether or not the two ordi-

proposed location. For his pool
tables he shall be charged a H.
cense fee OF SIS each. No person

lowed to handle a cue in his es-
tablishment.
