man rights are not involved.
Summed up, this situation prt

man rights are not involved.
Summed up, this situation pre-
sents itself:
Strikers can be enjoined, as usual,
where it is shown that in the exer-
else Of their constitutional rights a
business man loses patronage, which
he does not-and can not-own.
Owners of houses and apart
ments, however, can not secure an
injunction against the District of
Columbia rent commission when it
lowers rental charges of senators
and other influential citizens.
While it may be true that goug-
ing landlords stung the senate into
action, the notice to the court that
it can not use its injunction powers
is one of the few instances where
congress notified courts that the
peoples representatives are su-
preme.
During the reconstruction period,
following the war between the
states, the United States supreme
court was given somewhat similar
notice in the McCardle case. The
court quietly accepted the hint.
During a discussion of that bill
in the senate, Mr.. Stewart of Ne
vada expressed these sentiments
that are rarely heard now in law
making bodies:
"Mr. President, we are charged
with being afraid of the supreme
court. I tell the senator from In
diana that we are not afraid of the
supreme court. If the supreme court
goes outside of a case before it and
sets up it's will and issues procla-
nations we are no more bound by
those proclamations than any other
body of men acting outside of their
jurisdiction.

MELLON "CREATES" SURPLUS

MELLON "CREATES" SURPLUS
Secretary Mellon is certainly
the modern wizard of finance. BY
a simple twist Of the wrist he
changes a deficit into surplus,
thus:
There is an admitted threatened
deficit of $24,000,000 for the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1922.
Within that period $71,000.000
obligations fall due. By postpon-
ing the payment of these obliga-
tions until next year the Secretary
of the Treasury is able to make
it appear that there will be sur
plus of $47,0OO,0O0.
This is the same kind of finan-
cial sleight-of-hand by which $17,-
100000 is put in the list of
"savings" of the Harding admins
tration when $17,000,000 of Pitt
man Act certificates fell due and
were not paid.
Secretary Mellon has already ad-
mitted that there will be- deficit
of s4S4,000,000 for 1928, but this
does not include proposed $780,
100000 for Mr.. Lasker or $751;
100000 for the initial bonus, $17,-
100000 extra for rivers and har-
bors and s$60,00o,OO0 extra for the
navy in excess of Gen. Dawes es-
Inmates. = There is a prospective
deficit therefore, for 1923 of
66,000.000, and the admins
tration is going right on claiming
that it is saving money, practicing
economy apd reducing taxes.

WEST VIRGINIA "JUsTICE."

Coal owners lawyers are in
charge of the treason trials of min
ers in West Virginia. These lawyers
are paid by the state. William Bel
cher, we'll known coal owners at
torney, and bitter foe OF trade union
ism, made the states opening state
ment and otlined what the state
or, more correctly, the coal owners
would attempt to prove. Belcher
represented the coal owners at the
recent probe Of West Virginia con-
ditions that was conducted by the
senate committee on education and
labor.
Belcher secured an Injunction,
last month, from, Federal Judge
McClintic which would, destroy the

ON THE OTHER FOOT.

The United States senate favors
an extension of the Ball rent act,
which creates a commission that
regulates rents in the District of
Columbia.
The senate inserted in this law a
provision that strips the supreme
court of the District of Columb
of any power to review the acts of
the rent commission and divests
that court of all power and juris-
diction to issue an Injunction.
This extraordinary provision is as
follows:
''No owner or tenant shall apply
to the said supreme court of the
District of Columbia to review any
determination of the commission fix
ing the fair and reasonable rents,
rates, or charges for any rental
property or apartment, except by
appeal, as hereinbefore provided,
and said court shall not issue any
Injunction, permanent or tempo
rary, restraining or enjoining the
commission from fixing the rents,
rates or charges for any rental
property or apartment, and said
court is hereby Invested of any and
all power and jurisdiction to issue
any such injunction"
Here is an attack on the injunc-
ton process that organized labor
has never made.
The workers. objection to the in
junction in labor disputes is that it
is violation of the purposes of the
injunction process, which was in
tended to be used only in cases
where the plaintiff has no other
remedy at law and where property
is involved.
In the Ball rent act, however, the
senate notifies the court that while
this act affects property, the in
junction process must not be used.
The reason for this unusual &C.
ton by the senate may be found in
the fact that profiteering landlords
have been playing no favorites in
the nations capital and lawmakers
have been caught in their act.
1t is easy to guess the reply of
senators if they were asked to
amend the Clayton law by provid-
ing that courts are Hereby divest-
ed of any a4f all power and juris-
diction to issue any such injunc-
ton against trade unionists solicit
ing membership, against picketing,
or against withholding patronage.
Senators would be shocked if
workers made this demand in mat
tiers involving human liberty, but
these senators take different po-
sition when property is involved
and, it might be added, when their
own pocketbooks are involved:
/ Loud protest is made by defend
ers OF the labor Injunction when
workers insist that the injunction
be confined to its original purpose
l"They want license to violate law

The attorney general has indicated

AS the case now stands, the prose:

a fine chance for justice being given
to the union coal miners now on
trial in West Virginia. But it is all
in the coming of the new day that
is about to break. It will hasten
the day.

was for gasoline, which cost the
county $66,617.2s. This supplied 10
tractors, 81 trucks and SIS passen-
ger cars during the year and IA ad-
ditional trucks, three tractors and
rs, passenger cars which were pur-
chased later in the year.
At an average price of Is cents
a gallon the county purchased 1885,
40 gallons of gasoline. If an aver
age run of six miles on a gallon
was made all the tractors and cars
together ran 100000 miles dur
ing the year, or a distance equal
to Ga times around the earth at the
equator.
That Is some distance to travel
in a county 60 miles wide and 100
miles long. The county board will
have a lot of explaining to do to
show that nearly a half million dol
lars were honestly and efficiently
expended in single year to operate
its auto machines. No wonder peo-
pie are beginning to talk about a
house cleaning in county affairs.
