ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

The statement is going over the
country that the bricklayers have
agreed to remove restrictions on the
number of bricks that may be laid
in an hour or day.
1t is being said that this is stipu-
lated in "conscnt decree' entered
in New York as result of the Un-
terlnyer investigations, one result OF
which was the indictment Of some 800
material dealers, most Of whom have
pleaded guilty and been allowed to
go upon payment Of fines.
U. s. Attorney General Daugherty
takes credit for bringing about this
"consent decree' by which restric-
tions are removed. He had nothing to
do it with, except to record it.
But the truth is that there has been
no restriction on bricklaying. Brick
layers have been laying bricks up to
their capacity. They have been lay
ing more bricks than bricklayers any
where else in the world.
The statement that they have been
restricting their work, limiting their
speed: to so many bricks day, is
false and a slander on American
workmcn.
Why does not Attorney General
Daugherty get after the big brick
combine?
Does he know that around New
York fully third Of the brick plants
are idle and that this is to keep up
the price Of brickse
Does the attorney general know
that there never is a surplus of bricks
and that this is because the produc-
tion Of bricks is regulated to meet
the supply!
Why doesn't the attorney general
do something where something would
really count?
Is Big Business immune?

THE PRICE COMES DOWN.

After 80 years Of pickering and
bargaining Detroit has finally ar
ranged to buy its street railway sys-
tenn.
Seven years ago the company was
claiming book value Of $35, ZOO, ,OO0,-
and a reproduction value Of $32,-
100000. A valuation scheme under
a commission fixed valuation of an.
proximately $33,oo,ooo four years
ago.
Now the company agrees to sell
for $19,850,000 and makes terms Of
payment easy. The deal will be up
for confirmation by popular refer
endum on April Is. - .. > ..
Owing to the original Detroit sys;
tenn of separate franchises for vari
Gus lines, and the fact that the city
itself had constructed one Of the main

Why not abandon the talk of min

The owners will not permit the

referred to as 1000 per cent by
former secretary of the treasury; their
incompetency is recorded by a gov

When employees of these coal barons
demand living conditions and cease
work it is not a strike; it is lock-

The coal barons are responsible if
the mining Of coal ceases.
Their own friends convict them
when they demand ''can 't-strike'
laws on the ground that mining is
"charged with public interest,"
If this is true, the coal barons
should throw open their books and
inform the public as to their profits
and production costs.

COAL OWNERS PASS BUCK.

Why should miners be held respon-

Is the dollar so entrenched that
facts are ignored by those who al

er they read that the United States
geological survey reports that strikes
are responsible for but one-tenth Of
the time lost in the mining industry
in the past 20 years9
The aides and errand boys for priv.
i'egc insist that mining is "charged
with a public INTEREST," and that this
justifies injunctions and "can T.

demand that action be taken against
coal owners, who are shown by a
government bureau to be RESPONSE

in mining.
Associated with the present wage
movement is the inevitable probe Of
miners' living costs. The most search
ing inquiry will be made by profess
sional "snoopers' and statisticians
who will consider that the miner, his
wife and children have no privacy

lie must respect.
This procedure is taken as a matter
Of course by the public. But What
would happen if the miners insisted
that the cry ''No classes in Ameri-

What happens when an attempt is
even made to ascertain the cost of
producing a ton Of coal7
The Federal trade commission made
this attempt but was stopped by an
injunction, issued at the request of
coal owners.
Only recently Mr.. Frelinghuysen Of
New Jersey stated on the floor of
the United States<senate that it was
impossible for any one-even the gov
