ARMY NOT NEEDED
So Much as Education In
West Virginia

Chicago. - What West Virginia
needs is not a federal army, but a
course of education in Americanism,
says Matthew Woll, president of the
International Photo Engravers' Union
writing in the American Photo En-
graver.
What the political managers of
that state now require is not more
gunner, but thorough lesson in the
elements of civics. What the COVER
nor of that state should now demand
is not more troops but greater sense
of Justice and the full measure of the
workers constitutional guarantees to
the protection of their rights to or
ganize and combine, to safeguard
their lives, to exercise their freedom,
fully and freely.
"No state which tolerates feudal-
istic industrial system can ever ex-
pect to find happy and tranqualized
community. No state which allows
its functions to be usurped by an army
of gunmen can ever hope to merit a
reward other than that of pillage,
murder and bloodshed
america, the land of the free, is
not a place for feudalism of any kind

COAL STRIKE
TO BE pROBED

Washing ngton.-After several post
ponements, the senate. passed a reso-
luton presented by Mr.. Johnson, of
California, which provides for an in
vestigation of the coal strike in Mingo
county, West Virginia. The measure
was passed without roll call, al
though Senator Myer, of Montana,
continued his opposition. He said
that the investigation would be use
less consumption of time and money
and that Congress ought to stop in
vestigating everything some time"
Senator King also offered vigorous
dissent, and Senator Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, made light of the project,
despite repeated declarations by Sena-
tor Johnson that constitutional guar
antees do not exist in Mingo county,
and that uper-government is func-
tioning in that section.
The senate's action is the result OF
long agitation by organized labor.

Must Face Civil Suit of
Government

New York-The federal depart
ment of justice has started civil pro-
ceedings against 19 corporations and
four individuals who compose the Ce-
ment Manufacturers Protective AS
sociation.
The government asks for an injunc-
ton perpetually enjoining the defend
ants from engaging in the combina-
tion complained Of
The suit follows the recent declara-
ton by Samuel Untermyer counsel
for the Lockwood building investigat-
ing committee, created by the New
York legislature, that an equity suit
against these trusts would be a
CHASTITY farce" and that the only way
to secure results is to convict them
on criminal charges and send them to
prison.
"There is already one equity suit
pending in the federal court in New
Jersey where it has been peacefully
slumbering," he said. "The facts
were developed by the Lockwood COM
mittee, and we finally forced the in
dictment after continuous prodding of
the federal authorities of the last
administration"

BUILDING TRUST
Unearthed in "Anti-Strike"
Law State

Kansas City, Mo.-As a result of
demands by the trade union member,
the building trades wage arbitration
board that adjusted rates for build
ing craftsmen, unearthed copper
riveted building trust in this city.
1t was shown that lumber prices
were set in an office building, that
cement brokers charged % cents a
barrel for cement they never handled
or even saw and that the largest sand
dealer set prices that others follow
ed. The methods used by these pro-
fiteers are SO high-handed that copy
of the testimony was forwarded to
the state attorney general.
The unionists showed that build
ing craftsmen average but from 100
to 200 days of work in the year and
that their average yearly income,
based on the 1919 rates-which range
from 581a cents to 81 an hour-is

CAN STORE COAL
Despite the Claims to The
Contrary

Washington can be stored,
and in. proof of this the government
stored 63,000,000 tons during the war,
said Senator Frelinghuysen, in calling
attention to the general idea that coal
storage is impossible.
"The answer to the question as to
the storage of COAL" he said, lis that
during the war we stored 5000, 900
tons while today we have 35,000,000
tons. In some sections there is a GER
tain quality of coal that is not stored,
but very little. Coal can be stored,
and is stored, under modern methods,
and the complete answer to the ques-
tion is that, by reason of necessity,
100000 tons of anthracite and BIZ
luminous, largely bituminous, are
stored at the head of the great lakes
every summer, and in addition to that
there are other storage piles all over
the country, when people are laying
in their coal, at the public utilities
stations in the wholesale coal yards,
as we'll as in the government yards
here in Washington, where the Off
cials who stored soft coal during the
entire period of the war, have made
study of the subject. Modern
methods have been applied to pre-
vent deterioration and to take care
of the fire risk"
