.H0WAT ASSA|LS
INDUSTRY COURT
Labor Seldom Gets
Four-Square Justice,
He Ayers.

Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 15.-Presenta-
ton of testimony at the hearing in
district court Of Alexander NJ. Howat,
president of the Kansas Mine Workers
union, and five members of the union
executive board charged with contempt
OF court, in calling strike, was COM
pleted Tuesday and Judge Andrew ].
Curran took the case under advise
ment, saying he would announce his
decision Wednesday.
Adjournment came after H0wat had
given some Of his views on the Kansas
industrial court and courts in general.
He declared the industrial court was
unconstitutional
Fred S. Jackson, attorney for the in
'dustrial court, asked Howat If he should
obey the industrial court law should
the supreme court hold it constitutional
Defends Boys Mother.
I'm meet that when we come to it, !"
Howat replied.
Questioned by the defense, Howat
told in detail the reasons for calling
the strike, which brought ont men en-
pioyed in two shafts of the Mckee Coal
company. He said it called because
the company refused to pay $22j back
wages alleged to be due to young
miner with q widowed mother. The
wage controversary had extended q
period Of three years.Howat testified
and he came to the conclusion that the
only way to settle the dispute would be
to call out the company's miners.
Accordingly. he said, he made q strike
recommendation to the union executive Q
board and the strike was voted.
Fred 8. Jackson, attorney for the In
dustrial court, asked If the district
hoard had considered the calling of the
ton and that it might end in Jail
sentence for the members. Howat re-
piled:
Consider Only Justice.
Eve consider only one thing and
that was we were out for justice for
this boy and his widowed mother at
what ever the cost. We did not be-
lieye the injunction granted by Judge
Curran meant that these miners had
to be chained to their jobs whether
they were paid or not We believed
the Injunction was aimed only to pre-
vent a general teup Of all the mines,
such as took place last winter.
Ibid you consider that justice might
be obtained without recourse to q
striker he was asked.
1--WE are not obliged under our con-
tract to go to q court for justice and
it has never been our Practise said
Howat, Ito 60 to court for wage settle
ments."
Howat said that In his opinion, labor
generally does not 30 the courts for
Justice because they almonst newt
ably get the worst Of the deal" and that
the Kansas miners had not gone to the
industrial court with their grievances
because they believed the court was an
body and had no power
to deal out justice.

RESPONSIBILITY

The Bennington Banner replies
mildly to criticism of the states at
torney of that county by Methodist
minister in that village by saying that
the trouble is usually with juries and
not with states attorneys, citing re-
peated attempts to enforce the Sun
day law and the prompt acquittal of
defendants.
This is only part of the situation.
The very minister who criticized the
states attorney had he made a com
plant that he was wi ling to back up
with his own testimony? Is he will
ing to so on the stand and swear to
the facts he cities in his sermon?
We are prone to EJECT law officers
and then sit back expecting them 10
work miracles, entirely without any
cooperation on the part of the citi-
zen. We cannot escape responsibility
that way.
Every newspaper in the World
probably is familiar with the citizen
who writes startling letter to the
editor and requests that his name be
kept secret Il don't want to appear
IN this, he says
Some one has to, appear in every
successful prosecution, and the man
who refuses to stand back of an accu.
sation is in a very poor position to
criticize public officer who natur-
lally want a little evidence before he
has some one arrested for breaking
| the law.
/ No one expects the private citizen
Ito be voluntary police officer but
1 1t is not only his duty to make com
plant when he sees laws violated but
TO he prepared to stand behind the
compliant when necessary.
AS the Banner says. it sis hard to
get convictions at best, but some cred

testify for the public good and give
the state the benefit Of their moral
support. Otherwise almost all law

DATES FROM PRIMITIVE MAN
That the Giving Of Knives Breaks
Friendship" Is Superstition of
Ancient Days.

The popular superstition that 1t
~breaks friendship" to give or accept
a knife without something of value
preferably money--passing in return.
is Il survival from the primitive man,
declares London Answers.
The savage, having progressed from
a club to knife or spear as Il weapon.
soon learned the danger of relln-
gushing 1t merely for friendships
sake. His friend, having disarned
him. was apt to be his friend no
longer.
SO, for giving up his knife, even to
his friend, he demanded recompense.
and he saw that when friend pre-
scented him with weapon, that friend
presently came to regard him-be-
cause of regret for the act or because
of envy at the added superiority the
gift bestowed-with suspicion, grow
ing into emnity.
Whereas If he gave a consideration
for the knife it was matter of fair
trade and friendship was likely to en-
dure. '''.''N
All this became so deeply ingralned
in the mind OF the primitive man that
the idea survives today as a popular
superstition.
Popular superstltions belong to folk
lore, and where they have not d re-
ligious derivation are mostly survivals
from ancient civilizations or are in-
herited from our savage ancestors.

An Cad" Saved His Play.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Earl Carroll quite some years ago

theater. He became composer, play
wright and lyricist. His last venture
was as manager Of his own produc-

Gently at the Republic theatre, and
The Lady of the Lamp" an unusual
play which it succeeded. His other
playwright efforts include $50 Long
Lefty" Canary Cottage" "Florabel-
la" and "Pretty Mrs. Smith"
When THE Lady of the Lamp" was
in it's 18th week Mr.. Carroll found his
bankroll was shattered and he put out
an advertisement labeled sMy Last
$1,000" a really truthful statement of
his financial position at the time, he
tells me. After stating that he was
spending the money for the advertise
ment, which ran 70 lines deep in dou-
BILE column measure, he said: SIN the

'sThe week before I advertised we
did $6,400," he. said. "The week after
the advertisement appeared we took
in $9,105, and the two succeeding
weeks $1,000 and $500 respectively.
I am convinced that advertising pays.
