Jail Terms Where Fines Fail.

Our State Legislature wisely added
to the scope of the laws against
trusts and monopolies last session.
IF. however, greedy contractors and
other violators Of the antitrust laws
still cannot be restrained from their
ways by the very mild, virtually neg
ligible. punishment which is now pre-
scribed for such acts, the Legislature
should sec what effect punishment
that really hurts will have on them.
1t may well consider putting more
teeth in those statutes, making men
dread to break the laws lest, instead
of merely having their pockets hit
their persons may land in Jail.
When it is not the command, per-
haps even the intent, Of the law to
punish offenders with more than a
fine, it is not for judges to go further
than the law directs. And they must
always exercise the discretion which
the law entrusts to them. But II Is
as plain as sunshine that men or cor
porations that can make millions in
housing graft or other crooked deals
can afford to pay a few dollars IN
fines for the illicit privilege.
Jail terms-mandatory Jail terms
If they were only OF few days
would be more unwelcome TO opulent
lawbreakers than any money penalty
they could comfortably pay out of
small fraction Of their gain and then
go forth to enjoy the rest Of their big
bank balance.

A. forthcoming book, Mirrors of

ton predicted for it and. again, it may
not. "In Office" a book which was
said to reveal certain social con6i-
tions suggested by the title, was tho
subject of a weeks languid gossip; a
hale dozen or more plays have been
built on Washington diplomatic, social
and official life. but none made more
than a mild success. The material is
there. but our Disraelis and Gilberts
have not yet turned their analytic and

BLATANT BLANTON BRAYS
BEFORE MANUFACTURERS
ASSOCIATION IN CHICAGO

Chicago.-In a speech before the
annual meeting of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association, Congressman
Blanton made his first public bray
since his narrow escape from being
expelled by the house of representa-
tives. for having obscenity printed in
the Congressional Record.
Blanton was in his glory. He was
surrounded by employers who have
fought trade unions, who have re-
sisted legislation for working women
and children, and who have backed
some of the most vicious injunction
judges in America.
Blanton's bray may be Judged by
his claim that "Gompers forced the
passage of the Adamson law by a
strike threat"
The records show that not a single
member of organized labor, in the
trade unions or the railroad brother
hoods, urged the passage of this law.

COLORED BARRIERS
NOT BARRED FROM
BARRIERS UNION

There has been in the past propa-
ganda spread among the public that
the BARRIERS Union is prejudiced
against the colored BARRIERS and will
not allow them to join the union.
The facts are just the reverse, as
the constitution of the Journeyman
BARRIERS International Union does not
bar the colored race. At one time all
the colored BARRIERS in Champaign
either belonged to or ran union
shop. A barber in one of the shops
was suspended for non-payment OF
dues. therefore the shop card was re-
moved, as required by the bylaws OF
the union, until the man becomes a
member in good standing, which, In
this case, he never did.
There have been several efforts To
pet the colored BARRIERS in the union,
but it seems as though somebody IN
the colored shops would rather mis-
lead the public with race prejudice
propaganda.
So do not be deceived, as colored
BARRIERS are not barred from the Bar
bers' union, and this union stands
ready to receive them at any time.

COLORADO INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION DEMANDS
STRIKE DE CALLED OFF
lRy The Federated pressl J

DEWEY, Colo.--The State lndustri-
al Commission of Colorado appears 10
be an even more partisan instrument
against labor organizations than the
Kansas Industrial Court. Following
application by the commission to Dis
tiict Judge Clarence j. Morley, II
mandatory order was issued upon the
representatives Of Denver packing
strike at once. Labor leaders now
face contempt proceedings for failure
to comply.
Judge Morley defined TO Herbert
Curran, secretary fthe commission,
the orders scope In the following
manner.
"The men do not have To return to
work TO comply with the order Of the
court. If the strike IL called off so
those who want To work may do so
without violating the strike order,
that will constitute compliance with
order.
"The court cannot compel any man
To work. The effect of the order Is
to require that the strike be called
Off. Then If the men do not want to
work, that is up TO them"
This Interpretation Is regarded as
a characteristic bit of legal sophistry
intended To convey to the strikers the
impression that obedience To the In
dustrial Commission does not impair
their right to strike against unjust
conditions. II Is the commission
which authorized the reduction in pay
of miners in the employ of the Colo
RADIO Fuel g. Iron Company from 26
TO 80 per cent.
