New and F|oWery Warwick Ap-
pears on Stage to Lead Hosts
Of Open Shoppers.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The latest
addition to the anti-union forces is
Alfred j.. Beveridge. former United
States senator from Indiana. The
ex-lawmaker has posed as a liberal"
but his speech shows how easy this
brand Of 'liberalism" slips into. reac-
tons camp.
In a speech before the state cham
ber Of commerce he said he denounced
invisible government" 10 years ago,
but now another invisible govern
ment" has appeared.
This new assailant Of ordered lib
erty and American institutions is the
close and closed corporations of those
men who have made themselves mas
ters Of labor unions" he said.
In his most flowery style, Bever-
idge reeled off his. citizens alliance
speech to the delight Of business men
who like to hear organized labor and
its struggles for improved working
conditions listed with organized capt.
talists, whose goal is profits.
John J. Cornwell, former governor
of West Virginia, followed. He pic
tured the dangers If the government
takes over the coal mines Of West
Virginia.. No one in that state is SER
iously advocating this plan, but Corn
wells speech went big" just the
same. His reference to "Amer1cani-
zation" is the same tepid stuff he dealt
in while governor Of West Virginia
when he gave gunmen and anti-union
coal owners a free hand.

Wages Before Profits in Canadian Rail Award

The Board Of Arbitration appointed
to hear the dispute between the Cana
dian National Railways and certain
of its employees respecting a reduction
of wages has rendered an award that
is interesting in that it takes the posi-
ton that cost of living shall have first
consideration in the adjustment OF
wages, and that when reductions are
made they shall bear. due relation to
the amount that will remain for each
class of workers.
This IS completely at odds with
the position of American railroad
owners, who insist that the
poorest paid workers shall sus-
tain the biggest cuts and who
were recently sustained by the
United States Railroad: Labor
Board, which established wages
for certain railroad workers
; averaging not more than $3.50 a
week.

contract and would establish piece

the employers on the defensive by

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The coal in

The address was q challenge to

these business men with profiteering
and quoted their own figures to prove
it. He; charged them with waste and
inefffciency. and quoted government
officials and coal owners to prove it.
He charged them with producing
coal for the stock market and not for
use, and presented statements by
stock brokers' to prove it.
Despite this array OF facts the
speaker said that the miners do not
ask for q verdict from the public
until every source Of information is
available.
when the miners ask that all the
facts, be put at your disposal, the op-

What facts are needed? First,
facts are needed on costs and profits.
The federal trade commission started
to collect this data. In 1920 congress
asked the commission to investigate
and report the cost of mining coal,
and $15o.ooo was appropriated for the
job. The national Coal association
asked for an Injunction stopping the
investigation. The injunction was
granted because mining coal was not

REAR LIGHTS
MUST SHINE
Baughman Starts Crusade After
Death of WOman-Issues
Warning to AutOists

Owners of automobiles throughout
the State had better see that their
rear lights are in good working condi-
tion and that they illuminate their
license tags. Beginning Monday Auto
mobile Commissioner Baughman start
ed crusade TO enforce the brighten
ing up Of rear lights on machines.
This decision is probably the result
of the inability of anyone to get"
the license number Of the autoist
who late Sunday night ran over and
killed Miss Ethel Cornwell on the
Reistcrstown road between Owings
Mills and Pleasant Hill. Miss Corn
well. an employee Of the Citizens
Bank, had been to church and stepped
from trolley car when She was
struck and killed. The driver OF the
auto sped away.
Several persons saw the accident.
but owing to poor light on the rear
of the machine that killed the young
woman they were unable to tell the
license number. One automobile even
gave chase. and at one time the pur-
suerS were near enough to see the
license tags under ordinary condi-
tions. but could not tell the numbers
on the markers for certainty
"Autoists have grown somewhat
careless of late regarding their tail
lights" said the Commissioner. and
it is condition that should be rene
died. Drivers should take a little
extra care to see that their tail lights
on machines are in good working CON
dition.
Dirt and dust are bound to col
lect in rear lights, and in some cases
it tends to obiterate the license
numbers. Some even think that all
that is necessary to have lighted is
their parking light. This is not
enough.
As a part Of the crusade the city
police will be asked to arrest auto
lists who have tail lights that do not
come up to the requirement of the
law. The State police will also be
on the lookout for these imperfect
lights in the future.
