WOULD CHINESE
SATISFY?
Cheap Labor Advocated BY
Rail Official

Washington Would some railroad
managers be satisfied if they were
permitted to employ Chinese?
Testifying before the senate com
mittee that is investigating the rail
roads julius Kruttschnitt, official of
the Southern Pacific railroad, said
private corporations are employing
unskilled labor for $1.80 and $3.50
for 10-hour day and the railroads
want the same right.
In his plea for lower wages, the
official was forced to shatter several
high-wage illusions. He showed that
the latest interstate commerce COM
mission report gives the information
that in the last three months of last
year the railroads employed 276,829
track laborers, who were paid $3.78
for an eight-hour day
Mr.. Kruttschnitt did not inform the
committee how he would like to sup
port family in these times on S22. .68
a week, but he did plead for a 1o-hour
day and wage rate of $1.80. He
said this would save the railroads
$550,000 to 100000 a day-and Incl
dentally go long way toward guar
anteeing a 6 per cent return to rail-
road stockholders.

out of style.

Two million railroad workers are
deprived of bread that cake may be
placed on the sumptuously laden table
of the capitalist.
That, in few words, is the meaning
and effect of the recent wage cut
made by the United States railroad
labor board
Those who have are to receive more,
while those who have not are to lose
what little they possess.
In presenting their demands for
wage reductions the railroad manag
ers specifically stated that they ex-
pected the labor board to carry out
the provision of the transportation act
which guarantees the investors in
railroad securities return of per
cent on the inflated capitalization of
the transportation industry. This de-
mand has been restated and emphasiz-
ed in the testimony of railway exec
utives before the senate committee on
interstate commerce.
The railroads, having been promised
definite thing by congress, are in
sistent that they shall get it. They
are going to claim their pound Of flesh

RICH DODGE LAW
Pay Small Fines While
Workers Go to Jail

New York.-Samuel Untermyer,
counsel for the state commission that
is investigating the building trust,
has notified Attorney General Newton
he wants to resign and that he will
not attempt to secure any more in
dictments under the existing anti
trust laws.
Mr.. Untermyer's letter is a re-
markable arraignment of conditions
relating to the enforcement of feder-
al and state antitrust laws, which,
he declares, have been so administer
ed within the past few years as "to
breed contempt for the law and sup
port powerful argument in the
hands of demagogues and enemies of
organized society in favor of the
claim that our criminal laws are not
enforced against the rich and power
full in the same spirit as against the
poor and lowly."
To date the net result of the COM
missions investigation has been the
jailing of one member of organized
labor and the fning of several bust
ness men and corporations. The evi-
dence showed that business men fl
nanced this convicted worker in or
ganizing a dual union of painters TO
resist the wage demand of the reg
ular painters union.
In his letter to the attorney gen.
eral, Mr.. Untermyer declines to be
collection agency" for gathering
fines. Unless legislation can be Sc
cured which will insure imprison-
ment of these offenders, he says, he
can see no substantial usefulness in
further convictions.
When the worker was sentenced to
the penitentiary the public press
shrieked its praise. Since then other
subjects are being discussed.

MOONEY LOSES
"Audita Querella" Appeal
For New Trial Denied
Him

San Francisco.-Thoma J. Mooney
under sentence of life Imprisonment
for alleged connection with the pre-
paredness day bomb outrage of 1916,
has lost his fight in the superior court
for a new trial.
His plea was based on the ancient
common law writ "audita querela"
(after the complaint has been heard)
This writ has been used to call the
courts attention to additional evil
dence in case that would affect the
decision if known at the time.
Numerous attempts have been made
to reopen the case that perjury affi-
davits may be presented, but the
courts hold that the California law
provides that plea for new trial
must be based on the record of the
case, and if other evidence has been
discovered after the record is closed,
the governor may redress the wrong
through HIS pdfuoiiHg poWeIS.
In refusing the writ of "audita
querela" the superior court did not
deny the justice of the application
for new trial, but refused on tech
nical grounds.
1t would appear that unless some
new legal loop hole is discovered
every avenue except pardon is closed
to Mooney. If he secured a new trial
it would be possible to expose the
methods used by the prosecution, and
the connection of big business with
this affair, If he is pardoned, this
expose is impossible.

Mr.. John brought suit, alleging
that a work of art does not belong

that therefore Leverhume had no
right to destroy posterity's prop

RICHMOND, Va. September 2f.-
Will Senator G. Walter Mapp of Ac-
comac enter the race for the United
States Senate next year? VIII there
be another three cornered race for
the voters of tho state to decide?
That Is the question uppermost IN the
minds of the voters Of Virginia at
this time. and 1t is one that is being
answered both ways.
Senator Mapp has very wide fol-
lowing in all parts Of the state, espe-
prohibitionists. 1t is believed that
ne is relying on their advice before
he makes any sort of statement. There
is a good deal of interest in what he
intends to do. and there are many
Of the men and women of the city
who are merely standing by and walt
ing to see developments.
In the meantime, friends of Sem
ator swanson are beginning to show
an interest in the matter of his sue
cessor. and they are seeing to it that
MS interests are not overlooked in
the general preliminary scramble.
one OF the most ardent of the suf-
lrasls,s IT "a q si III. IN virginia; a woman who
lot. discussing the attitude Of the
women. declared that there were not
D per cent of them who would vote
other than the democratic ticket. In
irSt. size gave new version to the
coming primary for United States
senator, saying that the women would
and could be relied on to replace with
hve votes every democrat--or former
democrat-who would this year sup
port Col. Henry w. Anderson, as they
| had declared they would. There are
reports of many men having said they
intended to support Col. Anderson.
Chairman H. ID. Flood of the state
democratic committee, has come to
| the front with an emphatic denial of
the statement of Col Anderson that
there are $4,000 Office holders in Vir-
ginia, saying that the number is less
! than rs per cent of the number named
, by Col. Anderson. and which is also
one of the sins of the democrats
pointed to by the platform of the re-
publicans.
Chairman Flood also said that he
did not think there is any question
| that the negroes of the state will vote
for Col. Anderson, for the reason that
the republican platform stood for Civ
ing the ballot to every man and wom-
an regardless of requirements as to
citizenship.
Tomorrow will find the democrats on
the stump in every direction. there
| being perhaps dozen men at vari-
Gus points in the state. The speakers
are to take the stump to meet and off,

opening of the first congress on
sex science. beginning here yes
terday. and received the approval
OF the whole assembly. Excited
argument arose over the ques-
ton as to what was to become of
the children born In the course
OF the temporary marriage. 1t
was finally decided to recommend
that the state take care of the
children, as the soviet government
now is doing in Russia. thus in
suring that the next generation
will be healthy and strong, and "if
necessary, be able to carry a rifle"

One reason why a sort of polyg-
amy is now being recommended
to the German people through
this convention is that there is a
marked shortage of ablebodied
men, as the result Of war losses,
necessitating the rearing of a sur
plus of male children in the next
generation. SO that, according to
the conventions official announce

able to live up to her obligations"

urged that Determinations would exist
in cases where the basic state rate had
