DOING PUBLIC ROAD WORK.

lDOING PUBLIC ROAD WORK.
II was not our intention to
comment further ON the convic-
ton Of the parties who attemp-
ted to assault an honored citi-
zen of New Iberia, a few weeks
ago, and who later were sent
enced to imprisonment in the
Parish Jail. From our stand
point. this affair has been
threshed out SO much by the
press till It has become some
what tires0me to- our readers
and no doubt many will agree
fully with us. A day after the
conviction of these men and
their incarceration in the Parish
jail, the convicted parties took
advantage Of the law which
gave them the right to do road
work, 60 as topreduce their term
|of imprisonment one-half. The
prisoners made requisition on
the Police Jury through their
attorney and their wish was
granted, as will be seen by an
order hereto i attached and
Sheriff Landry promptly turned
the prisoners over to Mr..
Frank Greig, a member of the
Police Jury for safe-keeping.
The fact that they were not
kept in jail, gave another OPP
portunity for a few persons to
criticise the Sheriff which is an
injustice to him, especially
when he is in no. manner re-
sponsible for a loop-hole in the
law. Some years ago it will be
remembered there was almost
a similar case, and white per-
sons were also involved. The
infraction was a very serious
offense destroying a ballot
box-in the First Ward of the
Parish, before even the count
Of the returns had been made.
The accused were arrested by
Sheriff Henderson and the
Court imposed a penalty of sew
eral months ii jail. They were
Immediately entrusted to a
keeper who stood responsible
and put to work on the public
highways. There was nothing
that Sheriff Henderson could
do at the time to keep the pris-
oners behind the bars. We
only cite this to show that the
State Legislature has enacted
into. the Statutes legislation
that allows road work under a
keeper, and the Police Jury in
this instance has only done
what had been done by another
vet Of Police Jurors during the
Henderson administration
The order on the Sheriff reads
as follows:

Declaration of War
Met By Central Body
(By Federated Press)

New York-Mayor Hylan's "decla-
ration of war upon organized labor" I"
signalized by the dismissal without
hearing of $50 street cleaners recent
ly, has been accepted by the New
York Central Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil. The Council has ordered COM
mittee of 25 to arrange a meeting at
which the stand of the mayor and the
city administration on the unionzation
of city employees shall be discussed.
The action probably was hastened
by the fact that the day before the
Councils action the street cleaners,
in department order, wer, forbidden
to wear their union buttons, and union
stewards who collect or accept dues
from city employees were threatened
with dismissal.
The action of the Labor Council
creates a peculiar situation. Peter
j. Brady, a member of the Council
and one of the Gompers lieutenants
here who forced the dissolution of
the old Central Federated Union, is
supervisor of the City Record, posi-
ton to which he was appointed by
Mayor Hylan at a salary of $4,000
year. Mr.. Brady is regarded as the
leader of the labor element of Tam
many Hall, and his appointmnet as
supervisor of the City Record is gen.
orally regarded as having been in
recognition for his influence among
the union voters in the election. He
was in attendance at The A. F. cf l..
convention when the Central Trades
and Labor Council accepted the
mayors challenge" and may be ex-
pected, upon his return, 20 take a
hand in the matter.

Victory For Labor
Is Courts Decision
(By Federated Pressl

New York-An important victory
for organized labor is contained in a
decision by Justice Robert F. Wagner
in the New York County Supreme
Court, dismissing the complaint of the
Merchant Tailors' Society of the City
of New York, against the Journey
men Tailors' Union of America, Local
800. The effect of the decision is to
set aside a temporary injunction
granted in January, 1921, by Justice
Vernon M. Davis restraining the mem
bers of the union from picketing or
otherwise interfering with the busi-
ness of the members of the Merchant
Tailors' Society. Following the is
suance of the injunction the strike
was called off pending the outcome
Of the legal action which now has
been terminated by the opinion of the
COQIG CllC ~ Wco
the contention of S. John Block, the
unions attorney, upheld by the
court, that the union, being an unin-
corporated association, could not be
sued as such, and that the employers
complaint failed to set forth facts
sufficient to constitute cause for
action except in the case of four in
dividual defendants, who were merely
included in the complaint as matter
of form.
While the temporary injunction no
longer is operative as result of the
dismissal of the complaint, Mr.. Block
said that a formal motion will be
made to vacate it. He asserted the
decision is a valuable precedent in
other cases in which employers may
seek to obtain injunctions against la
Dor organizations before the cases
can be brought up for trial.

Church Encourages Labor
Splendid Sermon Delivered in Denver Cathedral
toA. F. of [. Convention Delegates

ported by father who worked in
the coal mines of Pennsylvania. When
this boy was 10 years old his father
was brought home from mine badly
injured. The sight of her mangled
husband almost cost his mother her
life.
"a few days later the boy took his
fathers dinner pail and applied for
work at the mine. He was put to
work at the princely pay of SO cents
day-$1.80 per week. Through
snow and rain he wandered his weary
way each day, and sat where water
drenched his skin for 10 long hours
and toiled until often blood dropped
from his finger tips to help swell the
unholy profits Of the men who already
were counted millionaires. At night
he hastened to night school,
cat the age Of 19 he became a
teacher in the very school where
formerly he studied. Then he saw a
younger brother die in the arms of
his mother, mangled unto death by
reason of the greed of his employers.
Brethren, that boy is appealing to
you today. He is asking God to for
give every heartless employer who
lives in luxury while a single en-
ploye is in need He is thanking God
for the labor unions that are dragging
from capitalists concessions that are
beginning to right the wrongs of la
Dor. He is thanking God for the labor
unions that are forcing legislators to
pass the law to save children from
slavery and give them a chance to OBJ
tain an education.
"And he is praying to God that
they may not cease their efforts until
they have made collective bargaining
universal and so perfected that every
man will be in some degree profit
sharer ir the enterprises that he is
helping.
"It is generally conceded that
wealth is unjustly distributed. It
also is conceded that collective bar
gaining is the most efficacious means
at hand to correct that evil, and since
collective bargaining can not be made
effective without a closed or union
shop, then do we stand for that prin-
ciple.
81 am conscious of the fact that
will be told that / am violating fun
damental principles, the right of the
individual to join, or not to join a
union as he sees fit. / answer that
there are many personal rights and
privileges that you and / are forced
to give up because of higher rights
and higher privileges demanded by
the public good. The union shop,
some of US believe, is one of these"

Delegates to the convention OF the
American Federation of Labor at
Denver-many of them Protestants-
attended High Mass at the Cathedral
and heard a sermon on the "Church
and Organized Labor"
Rev. Father Hugh l.. McMenamin,
rector of the Cathedral, preached the
sermon, and Rev. Father Peter E.
Dietz, we'll known as friend of labor,
said the Mass. Father McMenamin,
who worked as breaker boy" in the
coal mines of Pennsylvania, when he
was only 10 years old, spoke with
much eloquence and pathos Of the
hardships which must be endured by
thousands of American toilers, that
the delegates were visibly affected
and many could scarcely refrain from
applauding. 81 thank God for organ
lied labor" Father McMenamin de-
clared in the course of his sermon.
Father McMenamin's text was:
"Unless your justice abound more
than that of the scribes and pharisees,
you shall not enter the Kingdom of
Heaven" The sermon was in part,
as follows:
"To those who find fault with the
church and with churchmen for what
they call NEEDING in spheres that are
foreign to our purpose, ] point, first
of ALL" he said, "to my text, and
quoting from Pope Plus x, say to
them: THAT the questions regarding
the conditions and hours of labor,
salaries or strikes are not of purely
economic character; they are moral
problems in their very essence and
can be settled only by having recourse
to the fundamental principles of JUS
tice and charity
"There is no excuse for an eco
nomic system which in our land of
peace and plenty produces millions of
well-nigh starving men, women and
children, while the few increase their
wallets by tens and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars annually.
"Too long have we been preaching
the doctrine of resignation of labor.
Too long have we been pointing to a
home beyond the skies where poverty
and privation will cease and justice
be meted out to all. How ironical the
solicitude that held out death as :he
only means to right the wrongs of
the poor!
"Whatever remedies are found for
Industrial troubles and evils, it will
be organized labor that will put them
into effect"
Continuing he told his own story,
saying:

BURN HIDES TO RAISE PRICES

Sydney, N. S. Win some cases,
holders of woods and hides in Aus
tralia are burning them rather than
send them to markets because of low
prices. This is being carried out to
try and keep up prices. Up till a
year ago the workers were asked to
speed up and increase production.
They have done so. But instead of
the low prices promised by the en-
ployers they now find the latter re-
sorting to sabotage to prevent re-
turn to the low prices of pre-war

Why So LiberaI?.
PRESIDENT HARDING WOULD
REFUND WAR DEBT
Liberal Scheme of Chief Executive
Meets With Strong Opposition
From Members of Senate and
Banking Institutions
(By Federated Pressl

Washington - President Harding
walked right into a hornets nest
when he asked authority from Con-
gress for the secretary of the treas.
ury to refund the debt of some ten
billions of dollars which our recent
associates in war owe US but find
themselves unable to repay. The
hornets in this case are not merely
a number of members of the Senate
who will oppose the measure. Far
more formidable is the opposition
which has suddenly developed from a
quarter from which the President may
least have expected it-from group
of bankers.
On the very day on which the Pres
ident's request was transmitted to
the Senate through BONES Penrose,
a dinner was given at the White
House to some twenty-five middle
western bankers. 1t started out as
love feast thoroughly enjoyed by
all present, until the touchy subject
of the country's financial position was
brought up for discussion. Then the
fun began.
George M. Reynolds, chairman of
the board of the Continental and Com
mercial National Bank, Chicago, sud-
denly spoke up. He told the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon that their proposal for extend
ing additional credits to the debt
ridden countries of Europe by refund
ing their obligations was all bosh.
Moreover, the proposal to resell these
obligations to the people of the
United States in the form of long
term foreign bonds was merely "ad-
ding further complication to the
existing situation"
To understand what this further
complication" would mean it is i'm
portant to remember that the Ameri-
can banking world is roughly divided
into two sets-those who are inter-
ested in the international money
market, who hold industrial securities
from foreign trade and foreign financ-
ing; and those who are interested in
American securities, trade and financ-
ing. The international group is cen
teed in Wall Street under the leader
ship of ]. P. Morgan & Co. 1t is this
group which prevailed upon Harding
and Mellon to propose the refunding
of the allied debt.
Mr.. Reynolds spoke for the group
interested in American industrials.
"There is sound logic" he calmly an
nounced, Gin the proposal to cancel
Europe's debt to the United States
government. 1t may be diplomatical-
ly unwise, but it would be economical
ly sound, and certainly not altristic." !"
He pointed out the foreign debt could
only be discharged eventually in
goods. In other words, the manu-
facturers for whom the Reynolds
group acts as bankers would find
themselves undersold by the foreign
goods dumped on American soil, and
the value of their securities would
sink still lower.
Reynolds verbal bomb, hurled, it is
stated, with the approval of many of
his middle western confreres, has
precipitated an open row in the finan-
cial world which will wax hotter as
the economic situation of the country
grows worse.

Labor's ShackIes
TO BE FORGED IN WASHINGTON
BY HOUSE RESOLUTION
Representative Blanton Now Wants
to Prohibit Free Speech and Right
of Pubic Assembly in Dis
trict of Columbia
(By Federated Press)

Washington - Employers associa-
tions all over the country are uniting
in an effort to secure the passage by
Congress of House Resolution No.
227, which makes it unlawful for any
person in public place or street of
the District of Columbia to cry Out
or proclaim for the purpose of in
ducing or influencing any person to
refrain:
1. From entering any works, fac
tory or place of business or employ
ment;
e. From purchasing any goods,
wares or merchandise;
3. From performing any service or
labor in any place of business or en-
ployment.
The bill further makes it unlawful
for any person in any public place or
street of the District of Columbia to
cry out or proclaim for the purpose
of intimidating, threatening or CO.
ercing any person who is performing,
seeking or obtaining service in any
place of business or employment.
The second section of the bill
makes it unlawful for any person in
any public place or street to loiter,
picket or display any banner, trans
parency, badge or sign in front of
any place of business or employment
for the purpose of inducing or influ
encing any person to do any ore of
the things above described. The bill
further prohibits any person to do
these things through other persons
employed for that purpose.
The violation of the provisions of
the proposed act constitutes a mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine of from
500 to 5000 or Imprisonment of from
5 to 60 days.
The reason why employers associ-
ations everywhere are so bent upon
having this particular piece of legis-
lation enacted, and why an IS o s."
to individual members of these as
sociations, urging the writing of let
ters to Congress in favor of it's pas
sage, has been sent broadcast, is set
forth by Audrey j. Allen, secretary
of the Associated Employers of In
dianapolis.
The passage of Representative
Blantons Anti-Picketing measure, H.
R. 227," says Allen, "would be of
great public assistance in the protec-
ton of private rights and the suppress
sion of disorder, since it would great
ly reinforce the steps that have al
ready been taken by many states and
cities to abolish the un-American
practice of picketing. The national
capitol can well afford to offer a
model anti-picketing bill for the re-
preston of this form of misuse of
the public streets which has become
one of the most vicious forms of il
legal attack upon the private rights
of the citizenship at large"
Among the men actively engaged
in propaganda for the Blanton bill is
James A. Emery, counsel for num-
Der of national organizations of en-
ployers. Emery points out that some
twenty eight states by statute, and
a number Of cities by ordinance, for
bid picketing in the manner described
in the bill, and adds significantly that
"by the prevailing opinion of the
state and federal courts, the system
of coercion which organized picket
ing represents, whether so-called
peaceful or not, is unlawful and may
