HOW WAR BROTHERS
 STOLE $2,I5o, ,ooo. .ooo

Washington, Oct. 27.-One of the most sordid stories of war profteer- ing is contained in reports turned over to the department of justice by the Aero Club of America, which charges that the governments air craft board and manufacturers of air craft acted in collision and robbed the government of more than $2,I5o,ooo,- GOO since 1917.
 It is alleged that the manufacturers were on the "inside" and that they knew of the armistice before it was announced. These men, who were in Paris at the time, arranged with their confederates in Washington to have large contracts awarded them by the air craft board. Later, when the con- tracts were annulled by the govern ment because of the armistice, the manufacturers collected large sums from the government as "iquidated awa1ds."

wards Lord Chancellor Cairns, sup ported by the unanimous opinion of the vice-chancellors sitting with him in another case, declared that the court of equity had neither the power nor the authority to issue an injunc- ton such as had been issued in the Spring Head Spinning Company case
 The second injunction was issued in 1906 in the famous Taf-Vale case. Early in the strike of these railway men a lower court issued an injunc- ton restraining them from continu- ing their efforts to win the strike. The case was appealed to the Court of Appeals, and this court reversed the restraining order and declared it null and void. The railway company then appealed the case to the House of Lords, and that body reversed the decision of the Court of Appeals and sustained the injunction.

EX-SERVICE IMMIGRANTS
 USED TO SMASH WAGES

Sydney, New South Wales, Aus tralia, Oct. 27.-Ex-service immi- grants from Great Britain are shipped out here to break down agricultural wages that have been set by the New South Wales government. Trade unionists charge that there is an un- derstanding between the government and the country promotion league, which has issued a circular offering to supply this labor to farmers at rates that are shockingly low. The circular says this rate is to be paid the immi- grant workers while they gain ex- perience." Knowing that their rate is far below the statutory wage, the league is careful to point out that the scheme has the sanction of the auth critics. It is certain that the immi grant will not "gain experience" too quickly and in the meantime Aus tralian workers, who have pinned their faith to wages by law, are thrown on the streets.

Charles Town, w. Va, Oct 27- The issue of whether coal operating interests are to continue to use the prosecuting power of the state of West Virginia as private asset, and as a private weapon i'll fighting the mine workers union, has suddenly come to the front as the one big issue before the court in the so-callcd treason" trials here.
 Unexpected attacks by C. Frank keeney, president of District No. 2I, of the United Mine Workers of America, on the coal lobby and the coal lawyers associated with the pro secution" has produced consternation among them, and put the state on the defensive, with a complete rout in ju1- minent prospect Keeney was placed on trial this week on charges growing out of the march of miners to Logan county year ago.
 "Who represents the state in this case?" asked T. C. Townsend, chief attorney for Keeney, as the case was called to trial.
 John Chain, prosecuting attorney for Logan county, where the indict- ments were found before being re- moved here for trial, said that him self, with the group ot special attor- neys at the table with him "reprc- sented' the state
 Then the defendant wants to make motion," continued MT. Townsend. A request was made to the court for a change of venue on the following grounds:
 I. The evidence of MT. Keeney has been largely preselted in the previ- ous four trials, with the people of Jefferson county generally familiar with it ,and knowing that three pre- vious convictions have taken place.
 ?. Activity of Sheriff w. o. Macoughtry in behalf of the state Ill trial of William Blizzard, and alleging that he attempted to influence the jurors.
 3. A systematic campaign of prop aganda throughout Jefferson county by the coal operators and their "lob by'', against the mine workers union. and against Keeney in particular

FREE SPEECH, FREE PRESS, FALL
 BEFORE INJUNCTION ONSLAUGHT

But there are other questions which must receive attention at the present moment, and one of these IS the usurped power exercised by our courts of equity to issue injunctoins which among other things, prohibit strikers from exercising their consti- tutional right of free speech, free press, peaceful lassemblage, the right to quit work collectively, and the right to resist the employers efforts to de-unionize them. In no other civ ilized nation today would the Su- preme Court of the land undertake, or dare to undertake, to set aside and nullify an act of parliament. In no other civilized land have courts of equity so distorted and misapplied the principles and rules of equity as in our own land.
 Our courts of equity were estab- lished under the precedents, regula tions, and principles of the British Court of Chancery as it existed when our Federal Constitution was framed. Our rules of equity today are the same as those of Great Britain, but the British courts do not issue in functions in connection with labor dis putcs as they are issued by the petty tyrants upon the bench i'll many of our American courts, and there IS good reason for this The history of British equity practice shows bu> two injunctions were issued in connection with labor disputes One occurred in 1867 when Vice-Chancellor Malin is sued an injunction against the strikers of the Spring Head Spinning Com pany. The strikers did not appeal to higher court, but shortly after

 5. Participatidh in the prosecution to controlling degree of private law yers known to represent coal operat- the miners union.
 6. Lack of funds on the part of Ais witnesses to make the long trip from southern West Virginia to Charles Town, and his own inability to ad- vance the money.
 7. General prejudice throughout Jef- ferson county in the defendants in the case, brought about by adroit and carefully conducted propaganda of coal interests and coal agents
 Keeney's motion is retroactive to the four previous cases, but it raises the question before the court for the first time. Judge Woods ruled that attorneys known to be paid by tIre Logan Coal Operators Association, and other / operators associations, could appear with attorneys for the state. He held, however, that the chief prosecutor in the cases should be Prosecuting Attorney Porterfeld of Jefferson county, and not the pro- secutor for Logan county. MT. Por- terheld has not appeared in the pro secut1on so far except to make a mere introductory statement to the jury at the oHtset of the Blizzard trial last April.
 Judge Woods reserved his decision on the motion for change of venue He expressed doubt as to his right under the code of procedure to assign the Logan cases to another county but thought he might return them to Logan, county for reassignment
 The motion made by Keeney brings to judicial attention the far-reaching and carefully conducted campaign Il this county, through the trial of these cases, to break up the miners union, destroy organized labor in West Vir- ginia, drive labor unions from the state, and take undisputed control of the government of the state.

Washington, Oct. Illiteracy is slowly disappearing in the United States," says the federal bureau of education in advertising the Amer ican education week." December } to 9 next.
 Insisting that the need for a con tinuous campaign for education IS necessary, the bureau says:
 "The late Secretary Lane estimated that perhaps 20 per cent of the c1tl- zensh1p were illiterate. A practical test administered to million and a half soldiers in the war revealed, to the amazement of many, that 2S per cent of them could make no practical use of written English. All thought ful persons seem agreed that this ap palling situation is menace to the natoin's highest interests.
 "The census of 1910 indicated there were 5,5I6,Io3 illiterates in the United States above 10 years of age; the fig ures for 1920 show a tota lof 4,o3I, oO5 illiterates in the United States above 10 years of age.
