Federal Reserve Bank of New } ork was loaning at one time about $Ioo,ooo,oOo was furnish ing funds with which to engi- neer a notorious 'corner' on -he New York Stock Exchange, in which corner the president and two vice-presidents of the bank which was enjoying thes ehuge accommodations from the New ' ork reserve bank were largely interested financially"
 So, the officials of a bank get in on a big gamble. They get the Federal Reserve Bank, or ganized to safeguard the people, to loan their bank a hundred million dollars, while f armers can't get a nickle and wage earners by the million are un- employed.
 This story of how the peo- ple's money is handled and to whom 1t goes would be of trc- mendous news value in any newspaper office where there was freedom to print the real news of the day.
 This vital piece of news has been suppressed by the daily newspapers of America.

LABOR UNIONS ARE
 HELD TO BE LIABLE
Amenable to Sherman Anti Trust
 Act, High Court Decides.

Washington, June o-Deciding the celebrated Coronado coal case the su- preme court held that labor organ izations, > although unincorporated, are amenab1e to the Sherman anti trust act, and that under 1t such or ganizatoins may be prosecuted for restraint of interstate commerce. The court also held that labor unions are suable. Chief Justice Taft, in an- nouncing the decision, did not indi- cate any dissent,
 The case which presented the ques- tions passed upon by the court was an appeal by the United Mine Work CTS of America, District No. 2I of thar organization and it's officers, 27 local unions in that district and their off cers and 6 individuals, some of the latter not members of any union, from a decision by the United States district court of Arkansas, approved by the circuit court of appeals, hold ing them guilty of violating the Sher- man antitrust act during coal mine strikes in Arkansas in 1914, and inn were trebled under the antitrust law.
 The effect of the decision will be to set aside the damages, because of the finding that the acts which caused the destruction of property were not melted for the purpose of restraining interstate commerce.
 The Coronado and eight other mines were controlled by the Bache- Denman Coal company. The United Mine Workers of America contested the jurisdiction of the federal courts on the ground that being an unincor- porated association of mine workers it was not subject to prosecution un- -do.- .l,o Sh IL tr11St la1a-

SALES TAX DEFINED.

Chicago, June o.-Editor Perkins, of the Cigar Makers Official Journal, gives this definition of the sales tax:
 "The rich will be taxed only on what they spend and nothing on what they save The poor will be taxed on what they spend, which means they will be taxed on all, for they must spend all to exist.
 Millions of dollars are spent by proponents of the sales tax scheme, millions that can we'll be afforded by the rich as a matter of business, for if the sales tax is substituted for the excess profits tax or any increase in the income tax it will mean more to them than any legislation so far pass ed by congress that is seemingly very partial to the desires of the so- :a1led business interests

The unity of Labor was amply evidenced by the action on the re- port of the executive board on the deficiency due to the period of de pression and consequent shortage of money the various locals and the state body had gone through The council recommended the doubling of the per capita tax for one quarter only, which would not only wipe out the deficiency existing but provide working fund for the campaign in the fall. This was expected to cause con siderable opposition but on the con trary from all sides of the hall dele gate after delegate rose in support of the proposal and it was swept through by a unanimous vote. The apparent glee with which some news papers of the state had published the statement that the Connecticut Fed eration was practically bankrupt and disbanded was therefore repudiated and an emphatic declaration that Or ganized Labor is not only not dead but not even dying registered.
 The question Of the Federation establishing a daily general newspa- per occupied considerable time but at the conclusoin the convention de- cided that it Is not yet ready to urr- dertake such proposition but in- stead enthusiastically praised The Connecticut Labor News, endorsed its ogressiveness, declared again that 1t is the only official organ of Organized Labor in Connecticut and instructed every delegate to endeavor to increase it's circulation not only among organized men but others. Modesty prevents repetitoin of the laudatory statements made from all over the state but 1t must be said that their tenor lead to the determina- ton of The Labor News staff to make the paper even more representative, progressive, and interesting to the members Of Labor than ever.
 The Stamford Central Labor Union and affiliated organizations certainly provided we'll for the convention. Various local committees and volun- teer5 were ready at all times to assist the visitors in every way and on Wednesday night the combined or ganizations provided a luncheon and entertainment never surpassed by any other city The convention heart ilv thanked the Stamford brothers for their reception at the adjournment of the convention.
