Charges a Conspiracy

In the verified complaint submitted
as a part of the evidence, statements
made by miners and operators at
various wage conferences were recited
in part as tending to prove that the
wage agreements, including the check
off, disclosed a conspiracy to exclude
the West Virginia coal from the mar
kets of the country. The defense.
however. declared by affidavits of
union officials that these excerpts did
not fully disclose the facts. Further,
the union officials denied any acts of
conspiracy, asserting their only pur-
pose was to improve wages and work
ing conditions.
The defense of the operators. also
made by affidavits, was that they had
sought to discard the "check-oF', but
had been compelled through the Wash
ngton wage agreement and the
bituminous coal commission that
granted the wage award following the
1919 coal strike to maintain this svs-
tenn. The Washington agreement. it
was declared was made with the
sanction and approval of the United

QUITE SUDDENLY
Was Formerly Well Known Newspa-
per Man But Had Occupied Posi-
tions in Other Activities.

John G. Norton, better known
throughout the state as Jack" passed
away suddenly last night at 10 O'Clock
at his home in Windsor, death being
due to heart trouble.
Mr.. Norton was born in Canaan,
Conn, Sept. 20, 1863 He was educated
in the public schools of Springfield,
Mass. He came to st. Adams in 1887 to
become assistant treasurer of the Yer
mont Construction Co Mr.. Norton held
many public Offices while a resident Of
the state among which were: Regi
mental sergeant major of the Vermont
infantry in the Spanish American war;
colonel and inspector of rifle practice

| rise that was made in the face of al
this opposition. This phase OF the mis-
! tory was especially interesting TO tht
audience. To show the effect OF what
concentrated effort can do he said: IN
is well to know and never to forget
that when this republic was founded
its working people were practically
without political, social and Industrial
rights, and that what progress has been
made toward securing these rights has
been brought about through organized
labor"
The speaker next went on TO show
how in some manner the, causes of
strikes and all other opposition may be
destroyed
Treating the first premise, it was
said that the only way to stop war was
to abolish the basic reason for war,
and that would be found in the eco
nomic competition which is found
among the laboring classes. And the
only way to really abolish war was rot
to place the captains of industry and
of politics in charge of the readiust-
ment of this competition, but those
who were responsible for it, e. g., The
working classes.
The other, and, it is admitted, the
greatest evil to labor, is unemploy
ment, for unemployment calls for a
greater output, and this is where the
employer takes advantage of his men,
giving them smaller pay and longer
hours. Taking advantage of the men
in this way has tended to differentiate
the employer and the employe, and
here the first trouble between the
classes begins The only way for the
employee to express himself is through
labor The one cure for un-
was set forth in the
words, Nothing is more certain than
this. that when tire day dswns that |
capital is the aid and servant of la
Dor, instead of labor being the aid |
and servant of capital that day unem-
plovment will vanish
In closing, the orator showed how
labor unions, and more properly, social
would eventually RENE
1y the deficiencies in the present social
system; and that only by the cooper
alton of capital and of labor would
,he strife be ended. Invoking the aid I
If future pioneers, he said with ma
