Impeachment of Daugh-
erty Postponed Until
After Election

Washington - Attorney General
Daugherty is so busy in Chicago try
ing to jail striking shop men that the
house judiciary committee has post
poned impeachment proceedings
against him until after the fall cleo
tions. The postponement is an ack-
nowledgement that the impeachment
is full of political dynamite.
While the impeachment proceedings
initiated by Congressman Keller are
popularity connected with the admin
istration's injunction against the shop
men, this is but one phase of Mr..
Keller's attack. This was indicated
when Samuel Untermyer, New York
attorney, was asked to act as coun-
sci in the proceedings against the at
torney general. Mr.. Untermyer is in
directly connected with the case be-
cause of his association with the
Lockwood committees investigations
of big business methods in New York
state during the past two years. One
of the parties associated with the
building tile trust was sentenced to
four months in Jail, but was pardoned
by the president after serving four
weeks. 1t is charged that Mr.. Daugh-
erty was most active in securing this
pardon. 1t is further stated that of
the 20 cases which Mr.. Untermyer, on
behalf Of the Lockwood committee,
has reported to the attorney general,
no action has been taken by the lat
ter in a majority of these complaints.
These failures of the attorney gen.
eral but indicate what will be brought
out during the impeachment proceed
ings, fact which the attorney gen.
eral and his friends are fully alive to-.
In defense of his impeachment, Con-
gressman Keller said:
When an attorney general of the
United States not only refuses to pro-
secute individuals and corporations
who have done the most outrageous
offenses, but also uses his high office
to break down and nullify acts of con-
gress and to invade fundamental
rights, | have right, I have a duty,
as representative in congress, to
seek to restrain his illegal activities
and to remove him from office by the
process of impeachment, as prescribed
in the constitution"
"Such brazen affrontery is almost
unbelievable" declared President
Gompers in a public statement on the
postponement of the impeachment
proceedings. 81 cannot imagine why
the attorney general himself does not
protest against this inexcusable and
wholly unnecessary delay. 1t can
only be supposed that he does not
feel confident of the outcome and that
his friends at tho canito1 knowing
this, have delayed the proceedings.
at will not be overlooked that cleo
tions are in November and it will not
be forgotten that those who have de-
layed the proceedings are politicians.
1t is quite evident that they foresee
trial in which there would be revela-
tions damaging to certain partisan
aspirations.
-"The plans of the A. F. of l.. for a
national demand for prosecution of
the impeachment proceedings, through
mass meetings in all cities, will pro-
ceed if ANYTHING with greater yigOr."

Many Mills Still Out

The capitalistic press of the country
is spreading the propaganda that the
strikes in the textile mills of the New
England states are settled. This is
being done for the express purpose
of cutting off finances with which to
purchase food and clothing that has
been so generously given to these
strikers.
Six mills in Lawrence-two mills in
Rhode Island-two in Lowell and one
in Ware, Mass, have settled. The
whole state of New Hampshire, COM
prising the cities of Manchester,
Exeter, Suncook, Dover, Nashua and
Somersworth and Newmarket are
still on strike. About $4,000 men and
women are employed in these mills.
The Blackstone Valley of Rhode Is
land, with it's 5000 people are yet to
be fed.
This statement is made for the pur-
pose of refuting the lies that all
strikes are settled, and to urge union
men to continue their efforts, to the
end that these strikers may win their
eight months battle.

LABOR AWAKE
WRECKERS OF CONSTITUTION
GOING TOO FAR
Mass Meetings Directed by Organized
Labor Will Protest Government
By Injunction

Washington-The A. F. of l.. exc
cutive council has issued call to all
organized labor and sympathizing
freedom-lovin~ citizens to hold mass
meetings on Sunday, October /, 1922,
in protest against the Daugherty in
junction, which is declared ga most
fragrant violation Of the constitution
of the United States and of the laws
enacted by our cougres. No one, ap-
parently, is free from it's sweeping
provisions. 1t prohibits the freedom
of speech, the freedom of press and
the right of the peonle to assemble to
discuss their grievances"
The attorney general based his
claim for the injunction on the ground
that the shop men refused to accept
decisions by the railroad labor board,
and he stated that he would use the
power of the government to maintain
the anti-union shop.
The executive council declares that
the shop men have the right to reject
decisions by the labor board and that
the attorney general violated the law
by using the funds appropriated by
congress in the prosecution of indi-
viduals and organizations under the
antitrust act. The law appropriating
funds for the department of justice
prohibits their use in the prosecution
of labor or farm organizations, under
the antitrust laws of the United
States.
"These facts make it imperative for
the people to raise their voices in
earnest and emphatic protest against
government by injunction.
ut is urged that you make imme-
diate preparation for the holding of
the mass meeting on Sunday, October
l, 1922; that you solicit and obtain the
cooperation of the farmers, both as
organizations and as individuals, and
sympathetic, freedom-loving citizens
of your community"
The executive council also urges
that the mass meetings adopt suitable
resolutions and that copies of same be
forwarded to their respective con-
gressmen at Washington and to A. F.
of l.. headquarters.

More For Monkeys
Than War Veterans

New York-The keepers in the
monkey house at the Bronx Zoo in
New York City are paid $3.50 month
while attendants employed to care for
Veterans Hospital No. 81 in this city
maintained by the government for the
treatment of eX-service men suffering
from nervous and mental disorders,
receive $50 to $40 month.
Such was the statement of DR.: Thos.
w. Salmon, psychiatrist and pro-
fessor at Columbia university. The
statement was made before a COM
mittee investigating charges of abo-
minable conditions and mistreatment
of veterans in the institution.
At the same session of the COM
mittee Oscar Roma, sane patient in
the hospital, testified that he had
been confined for some time in ward
with insane patients. Physicians at
the institution admitted that Roma
had been confined with insane men
eight days for a slight infraction of
the rules.
The investigation, ordered by Col.
c. r. Forbes, director, the u. S. vet
erans' bureau at Washington, was be-
gun as a result of numerous charges
of cruelty and neglect against the of
ficials and attendants at the hospital.
At one of the first sessions of the in
quiry Congressman Albert B. Ross
dale of this city withdrew from the
investigation, declaring he had been
hampered in his efforts to arrive at the
facts. He went Immediately to Wash
ington, where he introduced a resolu-
tion in the house of representatives
demanding a special congressional in
vestigation not only into this hos
pitaal, but into all others under the
veterans bureau in which bad treat
ment has been charged.
The resolution charges assaults up
on and injury to patients, confinement
of sane patients in insane words, dis
charge of patients before they are
cured, improper diet and medical
treatment, lack of simple medicines.

Coal Spectators
Will Get Stung
(By Federated Press)

New York-The coal spectators
have been expecting to coin big profits
out of the importation of British coal
are facing big losses instead, as re-
suit of the settlement of the mine
strike. The settlement has been fol-
lowed by drop in prices which
has brought the figure below the cost
of delivery of foreign coal here. Quite
number of ships laden with British
coal are said to be nearing port, and
the owners of the cargoes, who only
a few days ago were elated at the
prospect of making many thousands
of dollars at the expense of the con-
sumers, are correspondingly detected,
with practically no hope of getting
out.

for striking mine workers and their
families, taxing the unsecured per-
sonal notes of the unions officers for
the sum. The signers of the notes
were President John L. Lewis, Vice

Treasurer William Green.
