lARGEsT KNOWN FOSSIL BONE
Discovery Made in Northern New
Mexico Is Interesting tor more
Than One Reason.

The largest shoulder blade OF any
animal on record, ancient or modern,
has been discovered in San Juan basln
in northern New Mexico by john b.
Reside. Jr., Of the United States
geological survey. This scapula bone
is mart of an immense extinct dinosauf
estimated to be over one hundred feet
long and markedly larger than any
previously known to have existed.
Charles e. Gilmore Of the National
museum in Washington has assembled
the collection of pieces of this fossil
scapula and has found that the totai
length of the bone is more than hve
feet, nearly as tall as man. This Is
five times the length OF the shoulder
blade of IL cow of today.
The large fossil was found in the
part of the earth that was deposited
and formed in the Upper Cretaceous
era. and this indicates to the geologlst
that the dinosaurs lived at a later
geologic time than they had previously
supposed. This fact has created more
stir in geological circles than the
size of the fossil.
Dinosaurs were large reptiles will
long necks. little heads and brains
and long tails. Their bodies lool
somewhat like that Of an diversified
elephant with hind legs longer thar
fore legs. They dominated the eartl
in the days when the limestone bed
were laid, but for some reason dis
appeared from the earth to give plac'
TO smaller and livelier animals.

Paul, in the first grade Of school

The next day he brought home an
other paper, in great elation.
II got a better mark today" he
said. II was marked winter Lots
of other kids were marked winter,
too"
His mother examined the paper, OF
which the teacher, by way Of variety
had inscribed a big cipher.
"Why, that's as bad as yesterday

RIGHT oF.LAB0R
TO UN|TE==|SSUE
IN COURT TRIAL
Illinois Concern Wearing ;oul
Workers in Carrying Case
Through Several Courts.

GRANITE CITY, ILL.,, July T.
Trade unionists in this city are ask
ing. how many times the United States
supreme court will re-hear the case
known. as American steel foundries
VS.. Tri-City Central Trades council.
The right of workers to unite and
peacefully picket is put squarely be-
fore the court, which has heard the
case twice. and now orders that it be
fought all over again.
Causes for the suit began in April;
1914, when the company, New Jer-
sey corporation, operating extensive
steel mills in this city, cut wages and
refused to arbitrate the question. A
strike was ordered, and the Tri-City
Central Trades council assisted the
strikers. The company secured fed
eral injunction which held that the
central body is an unlawful com bina-
tion" and that there is no such thing
as peaceful picketing. The United
States circuit court of appeals refused
to sustain these views, and the COM
pany appealed to the United States
supreme. court.
The attorneys for the union indi-
cate the far-reaching effect of this
brief:
If the argument of complainant
is logical-operation of plant inter-
fered with because of picketing, gives
property right-then what is to pre-
vent the steel mill from selling the
property right it has in its working
men to another company?
'The @fallacy of such a position is
too palpable for further. comment.
The humanitarian spirit that is pre-
vailing in our nation. and the. de-
mand for social justice which has
taken hold of the hearts of men and
women, declare that the brutal. DOG
trine, which held that human labor
was commodity to be bought and
sold at the lowest possible market
price, as machinery, oil. COAL, wheat,
flour:-and used until its supply is
consumed; or its efficiency exhausted
is vicious in morals and unsound in
economies"

he. would stay in town for the hearing

Mr.. Chase declared, that because of

necessary for the Bureau Of Engraving

;ployees at the plant to protect them

unte|rmyer Takes Shot at Equity
Process and Demands Trial 3.
r.: in Criminal Court.

NEW YORK, July THE proposed
civil prosecution of building material
men by >the. federal department of
justice was ridiculed by Samuel I'm
teramyer, counsel for the Lockwood
committee, created by the New York
legislature, The attorney said that
an equity suit against them would
be a ghastly farce" and that the
only method to secure results is to
indict the building material men and
try them before jury. .
There is already one equity suit
pending in the federal court in New
slumbering for 18 months" he said.
THE facts were developed by this
committee more than seven months
ago, on which we finally forced the
finding of an indictment after con-
tinuous prodding of the federal au-
thorities Of the last administration.
The defendants should by this
tim eshave been placed on trial. There
is nothing the matter with the case,
except the chronic procrastination Of
government bureaucracy and red tape.
A SUIT in equity now, when these
men should be facing prison sent
ences, would be travesty of justice.
THE only kind of injunction that
these men fear, or that is of any
Use, is conviction on the indict-
ment. The same evidence that will
support the one will support the other.
The latter has proved effective; the
former. is worthless scrap Of paper.
ut is: just this sort of soft pedal
ling and pussyfooting in pretending
to- pursue the big powerful fellows
for violating the antitrust, laws that
has brought us to- our present de-
plorable. state. where these men have
almost gotten beyond the reach, of
the law. There must be- an end to
: this The situation is far TOO sserio,ls.
s s. i. Fl s. hereby serve notice on the de-
partnfent OF justice that if it be true,
as currently reported, that they In
tend to fiddle with this grave peril
while the people of the country are
being day. by day worse: exploited,
they will have the house tumb!ing
over their ears before they get much
further on that line"

Having declared your plant an

this policy decisive and permanent by
adopting the American plan Of EN-

Under the American plan the en-

WASHINGTON, July by vote
of 167 to 113 the house rejected a
12-hour work day for firemen, oilers
and water tenders ON .theS Great Lakes.
The proposaf was inclHded in Con-
gresham Scett's anieEdment to the
seamen's law. Congressman Nolan of
the Iron Molders', union' led an all
day battle against s4he long work day.
The bill is now lin the hands of the
senate committee on commerce.
The seamen, il; however, lost their
fight to maintain the present require
ment of able seamen on the Great
Lakes. Under the seamen's; act IS
per cent of able seamen are required
in. the deck crew on the ocean as
we'll as on the Great Lakes. The Scott
amendment reducing: this requirement
to so per cent on the Great Lakes
was adopted by vote of 160 to 1913.
This means that life boats on passen-

manned by men, so per cent of whom
never had experience in handling an
oar or in swinging a lifeboat, filled
with women and children, free from

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, July T.
Immediately on the passage of a
Mingo county probe resolution by the
United States senate, the coal owners
in this section raise the "stopetbief"
cry ="
: We will show that the United
Mine Workers: which organization is
seeking to unionize this field: is an
illegal and irresponsible organiza-
tion," the coal owners: say.
The probe will show that the union
came into this field at the solicita-
tion Of unorganized miners and that
the reign of terror in Mingo county
is the coal owners attempt to main
tain. .anti-union conditions.
The miners assure coal owners that
they, will be afforded ample oppor-
tunity to prove their charge before
the senate committee. and they will
also be. called upon to explain the
workings of their private armies.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The va

lined up against bill introduced by
Senator Frelinghuysen to stabilize this
industry.
For the purpose of defeating the
pending and all other coal lesisla-
tion," said the law maker, these va
rious bodies. representing re hundreds of
millions Of dollars of capital, have
united in 'one big union, 80 to speak.
to continue their strangle hold on the
necks and purses of the coal buyers" "
The lawmaker said that heretofore
he was inclined to believe the coal
owners claim that their profits were
overstated, but in view of their PRES
ent campaign Of Misrepresentation
against his proposals he is disposed
to believe that they have never been
sincere and have never told the truth
regarding the operators profits.
If they resort to deceit in one par
ticular, they will do likewise in an.

MASTER PAINTER
ABS0LVES LABOR
oss-Exar1ination Forces ,Ac-
acknowledgement That Wages Of
Labor Are Not Too High.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July .7.-Rigid
cross examination Of Henry W: Rust,
secretary of the Master House Paint-
ers' association, at. the Lockwood
building probe, forced the acknowl-
edgment that labor has. not secured
wage increases in proportion to! the
cost Of living and that everything
else has increased far beyond the
average cost of labor. 1t was shown
that the increase in labor cost was
a very negligible thing compared: with
the increased cost added by the con-
tractor as: result of which build
ing operations in this city have \peen
checked.
Rust stated: that when his associa-
ton raised wages of non-union -ern-
ployes 60 per cent prices to the. pub
lie were increased from 120 to 500
per cent. Later he admittsd 4. &: that
prices had been raised as high as 58as
per cent during, the past three" years
and that more than 25 per cent was
charged over the rate paid labor: In
1917 the charge for burning off paint
was 70 cents an hour; in 1920 this
charge was $1.40-100 per cent in
crease. and so. per cent more than
paid to the men who do the work:
One of the ludicrous incidents Of
the probe is the attitude of the anti
union Commercial. which said in q
leading editorial: MIR. UntermTer, the
Buffalo Commercial suspects. that
you have political ambitions g.
The Commercial was never known
to say harsh word against big ;busi-
ness. It's manager, Mccone, recently
told a congressional committee in
Washington that the international

| censor over the press of the country
! and that only his publication and
