Leading Paper .Contesses State
Is Absolutely Under Demina-

WHEELING w.. Va, June g.
Labor's claim that the legislature of
this state is controlled by big busi-
ness is supported by the Wheeling
1ntelligencer, one Of the best known
newspapers in the state. The legis-
lature has adjourned and now this
paper speaks in language used by
labor in resisting those who exploit
West Virginia's wage earners and the
states natural resources, and who set
aside constitutional guarantees when
men strike. -
Labor's protests are always. met
with the sneer bolshevist,"p but con-
ditions in the, last legislature were
so bad that even the Intelligencer is
forced to say: ,-....1.. :. !:
The question = is whether we
are, to have an administration repre-
sentative Of our citizenship, or owned,
operated, controlled and conducted by
special interests that have grown fat
+ on. the exploitation of the: natural re-
sources, of West Virginia. and whose
sole concern in. the policies of the
state is to put their creatures in
office, to the end that they may es-
cape any proper contribution to the
upbuilding Of the state or the main
tenance OF its institutions. -s
The complete subservience to spe-
ciai interests Of an administration
supposed to represent the people de-
smands the attention OF every public
spirited citizen. 4.

Millions Of Profits from Foreign

BOSTON, June 9.-In urging state
controlled compensation insurance,
State Senator Tarbell showed that
millions of dollars are annually sent
abroad as. profits of foreign con-
trolled and foreign-owned insurance
companies, collected in premiums for
compensation in the various states.
what guarantee have we given to
our workers or our employers that
these companies will continue to re-
main solvent?" asked the law maker.
- This is not the dream of some
theorist. Government statistics show
that several casualty companies have
become insolvent, and the workers
who were insured, when they went
to collect their benefits. found to
their sorrow that something had hap
pened to the company. Is this fair
Can any member of this body point
out where state fund has become

I'VE license these companies to

in return do we give our employers
any guarantee that while these COM
panies are solvent today they may
not prove to be solvent tomorrow p

NEW YORK, June 9-That monop-

stock companies is costing industry
and other property owners in New

brought out by the Lockwood legis-

of the practices Of stock fire insur-

insurance experts are pointing out
that the disclosures now made by the
committee as to the increase in the
cost of fire insurance when carried,
by stock companies is significantly
about the same as the excess cost
to industry of accident insurance
When carried b. stock companies

findings of recent investigation, by
the United States de partment Of
labor that the cost to employers un-
der an exclusive state fund would
be 30 per cent les: than under stock
insurance, and - per cent less than
under mutual insurance, and that the
total saving to insured employers Of
the United States, if all were insured
in exclusive state funds, would be
over $30,000,0O0 every year, while

COURT IS true
TO TRADITIONS
Refreshing Decision. Handed
Down In Connecticut In Behalf
Of Free Speech.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, June s.-The
connecticut state supreme court has
set aside an ordinance which nro-
vldes that a person must secure a
permit from city authorities before
he can speak on the public Streets.
"A man refused to comply with this
ordinance. passed by the city of Meri-
dan' and was arrested and fined S25.
In reversing the Judgment the court
held that the overwhelming weight
OF authorities in the state courts is
that statutes and ordinances purport-
ing to give officials absolute control
OF permission to speak is unconsti-
tutional.
The ordinance, the court said, at
tempts to confer on the chief of: DO
lice the right to determine in advance
what persons might or might not ex-
ercise the privilege of free speech or
what subjects might publicly be- dis
cussed. 5
The decision is contrary to rulings
made by courts in western Pennsyl-
vania that have upheld similar Sordi-
nances that are used to stop meet

INDIANAPOLIS, June 9.-The ma

British coal. miners. lis Endorsed by
far-sighted coal owners and states
men. according to Henry Evans, writ

Journal from Earsdozs England. , The
pool plan means a small tax en- every
ton Of coal to be used to. eQualize

The writer calls attention to 4 re-
port by the recent Sankey commits
sion, appointed by the government,
which shows that the cost of mining
coal in 450 pits varied from $3.12: to
$12 ton.
$50 the Standardization of wages
says Mr.. Lewis. ''involves the crea-
ton Of some arrange ment by which
the industry can be treated for cer-
tain purposes as a unity. This pol
icy has been turned down by the
employers, and it has been rejected
by the government, but in spite Of
that, the evidence in favor of it is,
I venture to say, overwhelming.
I'm 1894. after the settlement of
the great strike, Sir George Elliott,
the great South Wales coal owner,
urged the pooling idea. Again, Sir
Richard Redmayne, the late chief
mine inspector of the British mines,
and Sir Arthur Loves Dickinson, men
whose characters are unimpeachable,
impressed it upon the commission,
mainly in the interests Of the coal
consumer.

some measures of unification be
brought into the coal interests for
the benefit of the government and
the consumers. Yet. mark you. the
last five persons named above were
the gentlemen selected by the gov
ernment and mine owners to repre-

mission. Plainly. their. advice has
been ignored by the employers and
by the government.
In fact. the whole of Judge San

and unless there. is. a great. change
in the employers views I fear it will
be a long and, bitter struggle
