President Heston, in behalf OF the
Juniors, presented each Senior with a
little token. -.
Several of those present were a Dill

Professor Langdon described these
earlier people, the Sumerians, as one
of the greatest races the world has
ever produced. Remains of busts and
bas reliefs show them to have been
handsome and of the highest physical

the art of writing and many other fun

to them.
Professor Langdon gives the credit

STRIKEBREAKERS GET WORST
OF IT
{ By Federated Press)

Oklahoma City-By "giving" strike
breakers food and clothing, the cost of
which must later be deducted from
their pay, the packing plant managers
here are declared to have contrived
an excellent system to keep unwilling
workrnen in legal peonage.
Roy Smith, colored worker, imported
from another city, who ran to the
pickets for protection when he learned
the facts, revealed the workings of
the system as made manifest in his
case
He was promised somewhere be-
tween 81 and So cents an hour" He
said the manager assured him that
food and clothing to be provided MIN
were to be "free." When Smith,
learning a strike was on, asked to
leave, he was told that he could not
get his pay, and that, anyway, if he
ventured out, the pickets would kill
him. When, finally, Smith was paid,
he got $3.17 for 21a days work.
"Rhat's all you get" Smith said they
informed HIM, in reply to his protest.
"You got one pair of wood shoes and
Jour meals and room, so we just took
it out of your pay"

CheCk-Off System is
Upheld by Court
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-A body blow was dealt
the West Virginia operators who are
waging bitter warfare against the
United Mine Workers of America
when the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals handed down a decision
declaring the check-off system of col
lecting union dues to be lawful and
ordering the so-called injunction
Judge, A. B. Anderson of Indianapolis,
to recall his decision.
Anderson had early in November
issued a sweeping injunction de-
claring the check-off system illegal
and ordering operators in the central
states to cease collecting union dues
by that method-a custom of many
years standing and provided for in
joint agreements of operators and
unions. The check-off system is con-
sidered vital to the U. M. w. of A.
and a strike was freely predicted in
the event of Judge Anderson was up
held by the higher courts.
The Appellate Court suspended the
Injunction on the plea of the United
Mine Workers and on November 16
heard arguments. The decision was
announced a month later. Judges
Alschuler, Page and Baker joined in
remanding the case, known as the
Borderland Coal Company case, to
Judge Anderson's court. Their opinion
tells Judge Anderson he is "substan-
TALLY in error in the exercise of juris-
diction and discretion" =.
The court went on to say that the
check-off system is voluntary as
signment by the employe and is legal
Counsel for the operators had argued
that the agreements between oper-
ators and the United Mine Workers
were criminal conspiracies in restraint
of trade and that the United Mine
Workes was not lawful organization
nor a labor union.

Catholic Council
On Wage Reduction
(By Federated Press)

Washington--"The present move
ment for wage reductions disregards
almost entirely the question of JUS
tice," says the Social Action Depart
ment of the National Catholic We'll
fare Council in a statement pointing
out the present widespread violation
of the Christian theory of the living
wage.
Sometimes the demand for lower
wages is expressed in the brutal
language of economic materialism.
labor must be iiquidated' Sometimes
it is stated in terms that have a false
appearance of fairness: wages must
go down with prices Scarcely ever
is the question asked, will the re-
duced wages afford the workers and
their families decent livelihood?'
at is now more than thirty years
since Pope Leo XIII restated the great
Christian principle of the living wage.
When through necessity or the fear
of worse evil,' said the great Pontiff,
the worker accepts less than living
wage, he is the victim of force and in
Justice Before the great war this
dictrine had been gradually but
steadily wining acceptance among all
classes of our people. During the
war it was formally recognized and
enforced by public authority through
the National War Labor Board.
"Since the war we have seen a re-
versal Of this great process of moral
education. In the last three months
the reaction has attained such mo-
mentum that the living wage theory
is not only neglected in theory but
widely violated in practice. The re-
muneration of immense numbers of
employees has now been reduced to So
a day and even less. Three dollars
a day is not now living wage for
the father of family"
The statement recalls that no au-
thority placed the living wage in
1914 below $3.50 a day, and points
out that in September, 1921, the De-
partment of Labor reported the cost
of living to be 1914 per cent higher
than in 1914.
