Against the Amalgamated
Organization.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA permanent
injunction restraining the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers OF America from
molesting. intimidating or otherwise in
terfering with the emproyees of the A.
b. Kirschbaum Clothing Company was
issued to-day by Judge Rogers at the
conclusion of a hearing at which one
witness testified that he had been
threatened with death for refusal to
join the clothing workers organization.
Others testified that they had been
threatened with bodily harm for similar
refusals.
Judge Rogers ordered that the names
of the 4,0S5 members of the Amalga-
mated appear in the injunction and
issued a warning that violations would
meet with severe punishment
Immediately after NJ. F'laxman,
tailor employed by the Kirschbaum Com
pany. testified that he had been threat
ened with death a clash took place be-
tween Judge Rogers and William A.
Gray, counsel for the Amalgamated.
The attorneys objection to the admis-
sion OF the testimony was overruled.
Mr.. Gray then demanded that the
court make public retraction for having
expressed an opinion the day before that
Lazarus Marcovitz, a witness. had lied

citizen. The attorney produced naturah-
zation papers as proof that Marcovitz
had been a citizen for nineteen years.
"The court will not make any retrac-
tons,' said Judge Rogers. THE court
knows all about this man"
"Your honor also stated yesterday
the attorney said. that you intended to
break up this organization and drive
1t out of the country"
YES" retorted the judge, Il said that
and l won't take that back either. This
organization Is not incorporated and
should have no legal recognition. It
should be driven out of all existence as
a menace to the nation"
but it is an organization insisted
the attorney.

CREPE TELLS MOURNING
FOR LOSS OF BUS LINE
Astoria Organizations Discuss
Court Decision.

Astoria residents are taking seriously
the action of the Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court in stopping the mu-
nicipal bus line that formerly operated
in Grand avenue. Several organizations
in that district have held meetings and
discussed the situation and yesterday
sign appeared on a post at Grand and
Second avenues, where the buses for
merly started. This sign read:
Buses stopped by the courts. We
mourn our loss"
Above the sign was large bow of
funeral crepe.
The operation of the bus line in this
avenue was opposed by the receivers
of the Steinway trolley lines. who said
the buses interfered with the revenue
of the trolley lines. Justice Fawcett
in Supreme Court refused to grant an
injunction but was overruled by the
Appellate Division

The Operators Position:

President Wilson's Coal Commission made an
award effective April 1st, 1920. The Mine Workers
Union broke that award the following August. This
terminated the so-called Four-State Agreement and
is matter Of record The Pittsburgh Coal Pro-
ducers' Association made new agreement for its
own District which allowed the day men $3.50 per
day of eight hours against the Presidents Com
missions award of $500 per day Of eight hours
Therefore the operators of this District have
taken the position that since the miners of this
District are employed by the operators Of this Dis
trict, and the questions to be settled are wholly
of a District nature, the settlement should be
District settlement. They object to having their
economic advantages destroyed in so-caled -Four
State" settlement. They have also refused to con-
tinue the check-off practice.
The New York herald., 1922-08-02
Who Gets The Money?

Normally, there are mined from the union
mines of this country abut three hundred million
tons of coal every year. The check-off which the
employer is compelled to collect from the miners
for the Union amounts to from three to seven cents
per ton the average being about five cents per ton
This gives the United Mine Workers from the United
States alone an assured income of $4,000, 100000
annually. 1t would be interesting to know just
what becomes Of this money, by whom it is spent
and for what purposes. AS rule, the working
miner believes large part Of the check-off is insur
ance against loss Of wages in time Of strike that it
will be returned to him by the Union in weekly
strike benefits In this strike his belief has been
wholly shattered, for there have been no payments
Of strike benefits. Our miners, to whom we have
been paying good wages, have fed on nothing more
substantial than speeches from the Union officials
and organizers. So far as food and clothing is
concerned the Union has left them to shift for them
selves AS matter Of fact, the only assistance the
miners have had is rent credit from the operators
The New York herald., 1922-08-02
The Check-Off:

The check-off practice is the system under
which the operator is compelled to collect for the
Union, initiation fees dues and special assessments
from the members 1t works like this-Every man
who goes to work in Union mine must, under the
system, become member Of the Union, whether
he desires to do so or not. He has voice in the
matter. The operator is compelled to take his nita
ton fee Of $1,000 out of his earnings, and the Union
dues and any special assessments levied are also
deducted from his pay envelope and turned over
to the officers Of the Union. This practice is as
unfair to the miner of independent thought as it is
un-American. 1t forces membership in the Union
if he would work, and compels him to become Union
in order to earn his daily bread. He has option.
He is not free agent. He must accept the condi-
tons and obey the rules of the Union and in addi-
ton, pay the Union for the privilege. 1t forces the
closed shop and deprives the miner of his indus
trial liberty The employer also has no option He
must unionize his employees and collect the check
off. or the Union officers will take from him the
right to operate his mines.
The old Four-State Agreement fixed basic
wage scale for the four States This scale was
The New York herald., 1922-08-02
The NeW Scale

The 1917 wage, under which now open
our mines, is nothing new to our miners. They
worked under it for two years, during the high
price period Of the war, and they were prosper
ous They can be prosperous under it now, for
living costs are far below what they were from 1917
to 1919.
Under this wage, representative leaders made
$6.71 day of eight hours, and in the first nine
months it was in effect they earned an average of
$1,136.89. Cutters made $843, with 81, ,491.16 for
the month period, and pick miners made $3.50,
with total of S1,289.74. These figures do not
include the possible income of mine workers under
the SCALE for the more efficient working regu-
larly in this District made the following
1922; Cutters, $1062, and Pick Miners, 1925, for
eight hours
This scale is 6S per cent higher than the scale
of 1914 and Is per cent. above the actual increase
in the cost Of living for that same year.
The New York herald., 1922-08-02
The Unions Position:

In every instance the Union has refused to
treat with us in this District the ground that
they would not go into District conference. They
announced that they would only confer in socalled
-four state conference" composed of miners and
operators from the so-called -four competitive
states Of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.

WOULD AID EX-CONvICTs.

In dealing with a theft charge at the
London Sessions, Sir Robert Wallace,
the chairman. suggested that when a
man has lived honestly since his last
conviction there should be a statute OF
limitation for offenses. This would
mean that after so many years a pre-
vious conviction should not be men,

then forced by the Union on the outlying Union
territory. The local conditions, Of which the
check-off was one, were settled in Districts. Any
district however refusing to adopt this un-American
practice subjected itself to strike that question.
1t is plain to be seen that Four-State settlement
would leave this District on strike the checkof
question. A Four-State conference is, therefore,
futile.

M. GOLD
 SEEKS REORGANIZATION

County Attorney, F. M. Gold, is seeking the democratic nom ination at the Primaries in Sep tember. He offers as his best recommendation the record which he has made during his term in office. During that term he has applied himself in dustriously and painstakingly to the duties of his office. The records of the court show that the county attorneys office has been both very active and very successful in the prosecution of those who. have violated the laws of the state. Several very important cases have been handled by that office during MT. Colds tenure and many convictions have been made where the highest grade of skill was required to dig up evi- dence that would show whose hand had committed the crime.
 For three years MT. Gold had associated with him. the late Geo. w. Harben. These men made an excellent team. MT. Gold applied himself with pains taking care to the complete preparation of every detail in a case to be presented and the eloquence of MT. Harben was particularly useful in present. ing the cases forcefully to the Jury. After MT. Harben's death, Mr. Gold continued with the duties of the office without an assistant and his success be- fore the last term of the Super

PROFIT ON LIBERTY BONDS

Chicago Trbune-More than a year
and a half ago, when the price of
Liberty bonds dropped to about sS5.
The Tribune urged their holders to
cling to them, and whenever possible
to buy more. We called attention to
the absolutely unQuestionable quality
of the security, TO the certainty that
they would return to par, as the gov
eminent of the United States was
pledged to redeem them at par, and to
the additional likelihood that not only
the bonds but the money invesed in
them would increase in value.
Today the bonds are quoted above
81. Persons who bought them at IS
have made $f2 on each 800 par value
bond within a year. And in the same
period, according to recent govern
ment statistics, the purchasing power
Of the dollar has just about doubled.
Thus a person who bought a bond at
IS instead of buying a fur piece can
now exchange 1t for more than twice
as much food and clothing as he could
have obtained with the $S5 cash a
year ago. And the fur piece is worth
probably half what it was then.
1t is a simple lesson in the practical
value of thrift.

DINING INTO HIS OWN

The American farmer is coming in
to his own. This week the farmer Is
the most important la in the nation.
The agricultural conference at Wash
ington has turned the limelight on the
tiller of the soil. not as a romantic,
pathetic figure Of ~peasantry, but as a
business man who holds the key to
the wealth and prosperity or the
country. The people are now sitting
up and taking notice of the farmer.
The president and congress have felt
the presence OF the farmer for several
months, for the agricultural bloc in
congress has had absolute control OF
the legislative branch OF our govern
ment and other interests have been
obliged TO take a back seat. 1t IL the
farmer who Is the king pin of politics
this year and he is getting the con-
sideration and attention he deserves.
President Harding in his address
scored a hit with the farmers and what
he said will have great weight for he
went right TO the heart of the matter
and did not waive the issue or befog
the points of Importance. He prom
ised that the federal reserve bank;
would change its ways and give the
farmer the same consideration as
was given other branches of business
In the matter of long time credits. He
stated that agriculture must be put on
a paying basis with the aid of the bank
ing facilities OF the country.
Another important matter emphas-
lied by the president was the devel-
opment Of and waterways
to improve transportation. He en-
dorsed the Great Lakes. st. Lawrence
waterway and urged the construction
OF hydro electric rlrnts so that the
vast water power resources might be
turned into use for the farmer in
electrifying railroads and in furnishing
power for farms. thus cutting down
the cost Of production and transpor-
tation, which would greatly increase
the income OF the farmer.
