With our attorney, all of this ma terial was presented to the Depart ment of Justice in Washington, and the department was unwilling to act, claiming that while an undoubted criminal conspiracy existed against trade-unionism in Muskegon, that the case was a state and not Federal one. The evidence was then laid be- fore the governor of Michigan who, at first, seemed determined to prose cute, but later on lost his interest, and finally did nothing.
 Under the conditions which existed in Muskegon a workman who became active in a trade-union was dis charged, and practically exiled from the city because no other employer would hire him. His right to a job did not exist even Tn theory, and his rights as an American citizen in Mus kegon depended, not upon the pro- visions of the state or Federal Con- st1tution, but upon the whim or prej- udice of the Employers Association and their henchmen in public office
 Tyranny in Marion. @
 Of equal interest, and of perhaps greater significance were the condi- tions which I found to exist in Marion, Ohio, little over two years ago. In Marion, the home of Presi- dent Harding, and where he held di- rectorship in several industrial cor porations, there existed a Manufac- turers and Merchants Association, organized for the purpose of main taining tnon-union conditions The association employed a secretary or commissioner, in whose office was kept card index system of every empolye in the industries of Marion The workman's name, age, and many other personal items were entered, the class of work he was employed on, the wages he was paid, and his qualifications as workman
 No member of the association hired a workman without immedi-

LOREE BLEATINC
 ON MORE CONTROL
 OF LABOR UNIONS
Railroad Figurehead Proposes Four Ways to Curb Them Before
 Bankers Meeting.

New York, Oct. 6.-Four restrlc- tions for the control and supervision of labor unions were proposed by l.. F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson railroad, in an address be- fore the 10th annual meeting of the clearing house section American Bankers Association, at the Hotel Commodore Monday.
 Referring to the labor union in it's present form as "monstrous growth" and menace to society, MT. Loree urged the passage of leglsla- ton providing:
 I. That such organizations may be sued.
 2. That they shall keep their rec ords in form prescribed by public au- thority, accounts to be open for in spection and audit, and that the use of funds of the association for po- litical purposes shall be a criminal offense. 3. That notice of strike must be given to the designated state officer having authority over labor affairs at least 14 days before the date fixed for such action, and that the state officer shall have authority to make inquiry, subpoena witnesses, examine books and records and make public all information involved in the con- troversy.
 4. That strike ballots should be safeguarded to preserve the freedom of the voter, without intimidation or misrepresentation, and that hte result of the vote shall be final and not subject to veto or use of the chief officer.
 MT. Loree, who was chief spokes- man for the railroad executives in their recent negotiations with strik- ing shopmen, quoted from President Harding's address to congress Aug. IS, in which he said: "The simple but significant truth was revealed that * * * the country is at the mercy of the United Mine Workers"
 If such was the case, MT. Loree said all other matters for the time became of minor importance. It was unthinkable that this country, "con- ceived in liberty" was to have the powers of the highly gifted, as well as the general welfare, stihed by this "monstrous growth"

Some years ago the, owner of a small foundry in Muskegon, Michi- active member and a delegate to the national convention of the Holders Union, became involved in a strike, the members of our union having de- manded higher wage. He was se- verely beaten up in the yard back his foundry. l investigated the case at the time and found that he had been assaulted by strangers. Later Manufacturers and Merchants Asso- ciation of Muskegon- I found that after our members had gone on strike the association desired to secure an injunction. No grounds for the issu- ing of an injunction had been ere dence could be manufactured with which to appeal to an equity court for an injunction, the Employers Association imported three sluggers to beat up union men so that union men could be charged with having started a fight. When these three professional sluggers reached Mus kegon, they were not quite certain of their ground, although they had been hired by the employers. They therefore, went to the local district attorney, who was also the attorney for the Employers Association, and the individual who had drafted their constitution, and asked him whether It was safe for them to go ahead. He told them that 1t was, and they went out to the foundry and n1istook the foundryman for one of the strikers, and beat him up as thoroughly as it had been anticipated our members would be assaulted.
 The Law and the Press.
 At the time of my investigation I found that the manufacturers and merchants were thoroughly organized to prevent trade-unionism from ex- isting in Muskegon. They were the ones who determined who the district attorney, the prosecuting attorney, the mayor, the chief of police and sheriff should be- They had an agreement with the only two news papers in the city under which the secretary of the Employers Associa- ton censored news items and edi- torials referring to industrial prob lems, with the further understand ing that where matter was struck out of the newspaper, the association would pay for that amount of space, and the insertion of other news items or editorials.
 Voluminous documentary evidence was secured, including copies of the associations minutes, and core spondence with officers of the Ma tional Metal Trade Association, which involved them in criminal activities.

HERE IT COMES! "TEETH", FOR THE
 TRANSPORT ACT!
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Oct. o.-Repre- sentative Hoch of Kansas, now wreeted as "Hoch the Kaiser" has introduced a bill in Congress to put is known as H. R. 12581 and sprinkled through it's provisions are excerpts from the compulsory labor law of Kansas and the labor clauses of the Esch- Cummins Act. It is therefore an anti-strike and compulsory labor law with severe penalties for viola ton.
 It provides for the establishment of a board of railroad adjustment con sisting of five members appointed by the President. Wherever the railroads and employees cannot agree the dis pute is referred to the board, which has power to subpoena witnesses and if any fail to appear 1t mak invoke the aid of any United States district court.
 All the books and papers of the present Railroad Labor Board are to be turned over to the proposed board of adjustment. The proposed board of adjustment is given power to de termine the "justness and reason ableness of wages, hours of labor, working conditions or rules and prac- tices"
 While it permits collective bargain ing, the bill provides that no agree ment can be made "in conflict with any rightful orders issued by the board" This. would destroy the principle and the effectiveness of collective bargaining.
 No matter what wages, hours or conditions are agreed by the board they have to be accepted by the em- ployes on penalty of fine of $I,ooo or imprisonment not more than one year or both. Therefore it is an anti strike and compulsory labor law of, a most reactoinary character.
 Representative Hoch is undoubt- edly trying to put life in the political prospects of Governor Allen whose compulsory labor law in Kansas has forced him to retire from the gover- norship.

MERIDEN TO AGAIN NAME FRED. NEEBE
 FOR SENATORSHIP
Selectman Sharkey, Another Labor Man, Also Get Representa-
 tive Nomination.

Meriden, Oct. o.-A1though there are three other candidates in the field, the indications now are that former State Senator Frederick L. Neebe, treasurer of the Connecticut Fedora inee for senator from this, the thir- teenth district, and according to his friends, who have twice elected him before he will easily be elected this year. The convention will be held on October 16 and it is also expected that the convention will nominate Selectman James Sharkey, another Labor man, as one of the two repre- sentativeS.
 There are four candidate for each of the offices, those out for the sen ing Councilman Wilbur F. Saste1ow, Assistant Corporation Counsel Ben jamin Tonkonow, and John Bonell Those out for representative aside from MT. Sharkey ,are Fred J. Wal lace, Fred H. Edwards and George Chance, a former president of the Central Labor Union.
 The republicans will also hold their primary on October I6 but 1t is ex- pected that there will be no contest there and the present incunbents of the offices will be renominated. They are Senator Eugene P. Golden, and Representative J. F. St. George and Harry w. Williams. There is, how ever, some question about MT St. Beorge he being connected with the internal revenue service and therefore may not be able to accept renom- ination.

ately reporting to the commissioner, kept. Members of the association by industries, determined what the maximum wage rate would be for any group of wage earners, and no member of the association was per m1tted to pay more There was an iron clad agreement that no member of the association would employ a wage earner who had worked for some other member without that his job because of dissatisfaction with the terms of employment, he found that he could not secure work unless his previous employer gave consent. He was compelled to re. turnto his previous employment, or leave the city.
 ton in Marion some girl store clerks learned that they could earn. consid- erably more money working in one of the loca lcandy factories. They secured jobs in the candy factory. Shortly afterwards. they were noti- fled that they must be laid off, be- cause hiring them was contrary to the rules of the Marion Employers Association, and they were com pelled to return to work as clerks under a considerably smaller wage rate than they had received as candy workers.
 An Invisible Wall.
 The purpose of the Employers and Merchants Association was to build an invisible, but none the less inn passab1e wall around Marion, and place their representative at the gate way to employment to determine who could come in and secure employ ment, and who must quit work in the industries because the Employ ers' Association did not want them. The Employers Association exi1ed workers from industry who dis pleased them, as thoroughly and ef- fectively2 as the Czar exiled those who displeased him.
 These two instances are similar in principle and purpose to those which have been developed to a large ex- tent by employers assocaitions throughout the country. In carry ing out their anti-union program these employers have had at their service some of the ablest attorneys in the country. They have main tained Hobbies in Washington and in the state capitols to influence legfs- lation. They have maintained legal bureaus to prosecute and persecute trade unions, and to appear before the Supreme Court of the United States and other courts to argue cases arising from industrial dis putes.

Ten Reasons Why Hogs Should
be Raised.

Clemson College, July 3.-There
are ten good reasons why South Caro-
lima farmers should grow more hogs
as a. part of their general farming
scheme, according to E. G. Cooley,
Assistant Professor of Animal Hus-
bandry. They are as follows:
1. Hogs are prolific. They will
raise two litters per year and six or
more pigs per litter.
2. Returns come very quickly. The
sows will produce a litter at u
months of age, and the pigs can be
most profitably marketed at 8 toto
months.
8. No other farm animal will pro-
duce meat for a given amount of
feed.
q. A smaller amount of capital. is
required for stock and equipment
than with other classes Of farm ami
mails.
S. Hogs can find a place in any sys-
tenn of farming.
6. Pork is more easily cured than
are other meats.
= z. Pork is the most nutritious
meat. 1t has a high protein and ener-
gy value, and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has recent
ly determined that it is high in those
essential food factors called Vita
mines.
8. A large part of the hog ration
can be made from waste products
as kitchen Stops and spoiled grains.
They furnish a very profitable meth
cd of marketing skimmilk and but
termilk.
9. Hogs help to establish and main
tain a fertile soil, Approximately 80
per cent of the fertilizing value of
their feed is returned to the soil.
10. Hog production, if prope
managed, is a profitable business.
