Topeka, Kan, Aug. 20. The

MINE WORKERS
CONVENTION

indianapolis, Ind, August 20. -
When the biennial convention of the
United Mine Workers of America
meets in Indianapolis on Tuesday,
September 20, the outstanding bust
ness of the delegates will be the
formulation of demands for the next
wage contract between miners and
operators. For the first time in
many years the wage agreements
in the bituminous fields and in the
anthracite fields will expire on the
same day, March 81, 1922. Here
tofore, the bituminous wage agree
ment expired on one date and the
anthracite agreement on another
date, and the miners in one branch
of industry were not in position,
therefore, to give the same degree
of support to the other in the ne
gotiation of their agreements as
they will be next spring.
John L. Lewis, international pres
ident, has made the statement on
several occasions that the United
Mine Workers of America will not
permit any reduction in the wages
of the mine workers, and this fact
lends greater significance to the
coming convention at which the de-
tails of the wage policy of the
miners union will be worked out
and ratified.
1t has been the custom of the an
| thracite miners in the past to
| frame their wage demands and have
them adopted by tri-district con-
vention, comprising the three an
| thracite districts, after which they
were reported to the national con-
vention of the union for approval
This year. however, this procedure
has been reversed. Anthracite del
egates to the national convention
| will prepare their demands for APP
proval by the national convention
and the tri-district convention fol
| ratification will be held afterward
Thus, any general policy with ref
| erence to wages that may be adopt
| ed by the national convention will

Financial oracles cautiously hint
that "a factor in present condi-
tions" are chose" banks that "un-
wisely loaned money to specula-
tors" who have inflated prices
capitalized possible earnings and
decreased the purchasing power of
the dollar.
These. hints hit the nerve center
of finance, hysterical in wartime.
But the truth must out.
During the war a promoter would
be assured credit if he said he
could harness the sunshine and put
a meter at the end of every ray and
make the public pay.
Nothing was too venturesome.
AS profits increased, more stock
was issued that these huge in

but the promoters high hopes. This
process detracted the public's at
tention from inordinate gains, as
the dividends were only reason
able" when the amount of watered
stock was not considered.
The collapse came with the ar
mistice, when bankers began their
"deflation" campaign.
This "deflation," or water squeez-
ing, was accomplished by the banks
refusing credit and calling in their
loans. The promoters and business
men threw other stocks and bonds
on the market in a frenzied scram-
BILE for cash.

Judicial UsurpatioT Is Again Proven;
Citizens Now Recall LabOr's Protests

Newark, N. j., Aug. 2O.-New
Jersey citizens have discovered that
judicial usurpation" is a reality,
used by agitators.
Federal District Judge Rellstab is
responsible for the awakening. He
has raised car fares to 8 cents with
2cent transfer privilege.
The state public utility commits
sion refused to increase rates after
an exhaustive examination and
hearing on the subject. The COM
pany appealed to Judge Rellstab
that their property was being con-
fiscated. The court held that this
was violation of the United States
constitution, and without hearings,
granted the company's request.
Judge Rellstab's decision has ex-
cited everyone but trade unionists,
who ask: "What do you expect,
when you fail to protest when these
courts annul guarantees against
workers ?"
L. J. Russell, editor of the New
ark Morning Ledger, in a signed
statement, declares that Judge Rell-
stab "shall be impeached and re-
moved from office in order that the
public at large may not come to
feel that too many of our courts are
filled with servile puppets only too
ready to serve special interests"
No trade unionist ever uttered a
more bitter attack on courts which
he declared to "have ceased to be
institutions that are impersonal and
sacred in their nature.
"It is the height of ridiculous alb
surdity to expect people who know
the source and the pedigree and the
calibre of so many of our judges

them or confidence in them or their

ture tumbled, as even high priced
stocks and bonds were battered to
pieces.
The angry promoters and bust
ness men are now telling tales out
of school and some of the bankers
murmur, "Too true, too true" while
all hands acknowledge that their
former cries of more production"
and "high wages" are false.
The banks are not injured by the
process, but business men are
bankrupt, or verging on bankruptcy;
millions of wage earners are I'M
employed, and agriculture is pros
trate as a result of this wildcatting
that is associated with every war.
The only one who profit by the
orgy are the financiers and their
big business intimates, who Sc
cure the country's wealth through
the "deflation" process.
The organized workers declare
that "credit is inherently social"
and that this power over the lives
of the people should be taken from
the control of private financiers,
and become a government func-
ton.
At it's historic reconstruction con-
ference in Washington, December 10,
1919, the wage earners made that
declaration and insisted that credit
as now administered is "the center
of malevolent forces that corrupt
the spirit and purpose of industry"
"We urge the organization and
use of credit to serve production
needs and not to increase the in
comes and holdings of financiers,"
said labor.

Use Soldiers in Strike

Troy, N. Y, Aug. 20.-According
to the Labor Journal, Colonel Gill
lett, ranking officer of the 105th
regiment, and paid attorney for
the International Paper Company,
is attempting to use the national
guard headquarters to enlist men
to work in the paper mills as
strikebreakers for the company
that employs him.
"Has Major General Lester given
the colonel permission to use the
army and some of its supplies to
crush union paper makers who are
endeavoring to get a living wage ?"
asks the Labor Journal.
"Can it be possible that Colonel
Gillett has the approval of his SUI
perior officers in using state prop
erty for a private corporation? To
say he has not done this would
be telling an absolute falsehood
There are any number of young
men who have accused some of the
guard officers of employing them
under false pretenses."

Of putting a person above our theory

that which is best in us.
The fundamental law of love is that

personality Is the basis of love. a life

II Is beautiful TO think OF the perfect

the spiritual and intellectual gifts with

Love without personality does not ex-

from each. To others there may be no
connection between the two.
The fact of character rising above
theory proves It. Two people with diff

inexplicable thing about love is that 1t
