back for trial under these Instructions
Anti-union coal owenrs must start
their fight all over again, and if they
win against the Arkansas miners
they will find depleted treasury.
Big business, however, has won tre-
mendous victory and has been repaid
with interest for its support of the
miners opponents.
Summed up, the court rules that in
this case the international union of
miners cannot be sued or held liable
for the Arkansas strike, which is a
local affair. But the court for the
first time in American history lays
down the broad principle that trade
union on strike can be sued and its
strike funds seized for damages
In defending this new position Chief
Justice Taft cites Section z of the
antitrust act, which declares that the
persons who may be sued under the
act include corporations and associa-
tions existing under or authorized by
the law of either the United States.

SUSPICIOUS
La Toilette Says Steel Trust
Doesn't Oppose New
Merger

Washington.-Th steel trust does
not oppose the proposed formation of
a second trust by several independ
ent steel corporations, said Mr. La
Toilette, on the floor of the senate.
"Why should it," asked the law
maker. GAS matter of fact, there
are strong indications in what is al
ready known about this proposed mer-
ger that the same financial forces
which formed and now control the
United States steel corporation are
also interested in this new merger.
81 call your attention to the fact
that the financing of this new steel
trust is in the hands of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. The congressional committee
on the concentration of control of
money and credit, generally known as
the Pujo committee, reported in 1913
that the most active agents in for
warding and bringing about the con-
centration of control of money, credit
and industry are j. P. Morgan & Co.,
First national bank of New York, Ma
tional city bank of New York; Lee,
Higginson & Co., of Boston and New
York; Kidder, Peabody Co., of Boston,
and New York, and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
"The report showed that these great
financial groups never acted alone on
any large transaction but invariably
acted in combination and shared the
spoils.
"There is every reason to believe

"SAVIORS"
OF Workers Proves Puzzle
to Labor Editor

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Edi-
tor Roper, of the Alberta Labor News,
has been trying to figure out the pol
icy of "savors" of the workers in
this section for the past several years.
The "saviors" are at skies and sew
ems between themselves. A short time
ago, when the one big union was form
ed in Calgary, workers were urged to
break away from trade unions be-
cause they are "reactionary and impo
tent to protect the workers from the
greed of capitalism"
Now the workers party of Canada
(camoufage for communists party
at its Toronto convention declare that
secession and duallism must end and
that all hands must hustle back under
the folds of the American Federation
of Labor This, it was declared, is in
line with the policy of the Moscow
red international, in order that Dor
ing from within" policy may be ap-
piled in the A. F. of l..
Some OF the one Dig unionites don't
like the order, and the favorite cry
"pie card artist" is banded between
the "saviors."
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-06-16

regardless of the historic fact that
the authors of the antitrust law never
intended to include trade unions in its
scope and did not deem it essential
to comply with labor's plea that the
act be amended to this effect
The court justifes its new position
because "of the growth and necessi-
ties of the great labor organizations,
and reads into the antitrust law
meaning that was never intended by
lawmakers, who were striving to break
up combinations of men who were
monopolizing commodities.
The decision means that when a
union orders a strike itc strike funds
can be tied up and levied on by dam
age suits
1t is almost safe to predict that the
decision marks the end of cant
strike" agitation, and that big busi-
ness will no longer finance or even be
interested in surface-thinking editors,
political mountebanks and economic
ghost dancers who urge handcuff laws
These laws are no longer necessary.
The supreme court of the United
States has arranged matters to suit
the convenience of big business, which
can hereafter turn its stmkebreaking
over to the judiciary

COUCINC THE PUBLIC
HOW THE COAL OWNERS DO THIS is SHOWN IN
THE FIGURES SUBMITTED BY FEDERAL
TRADE COMMISSION
Methods of Proteering Barons is Roundly Condemned
By Board in Report to Congress

The commission estimates that if
taken out of the 1926 companies it
would reduce their investment from
S3.l2 to $3.50 per ton or less"
One large company in the balance
sheet submitted included so much
generalization and depreciation that
the commission revised it downward
over 81 per cent"
This generalization and writing up
Of appreciated values" and the ''inclu-
sion of investment in excess coal
lands" roundly condemned by the
commissions report, are understood
to figure in the nonprofteering"
price submitted by the operators to
the secretary of commerce and pro-
mulgated by him as fair"
As to profits of the coal owners,
the commission declares that for the
six years l916-l921 the return on IN
vestment averages Is per cent, run
ming as high as % per cent in 1917.
The figures for the first three years
were collected by the commission; for
the last three they were supplied by
the national coal association. The
commission says that it does not
vouch for" the coal associations fig
ures. which may be interpreted as an
indirect way of saying that the asso-
cations returns are padded to con
ceal profits.
In 1920 the coal owners secured an
injunction restraining the commission
from requiring the coal companies to
make business reports to the commits
sion. Since then the national coal
association is the only source of in
formation concerning the reasonable
ness Of prices which the operators
charge

Convention Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio,
June l6-With flags flying, martial
music in the air and solidarity and
unity in the ranks, the American
Federation of Labor, Monday, opened
its forty-second annual convention.
No convention has ever presented
a finer front to the world. No con
vention has ever gone into session in

In Cincinnati's big, cool armory,
more than a half thousand men and
women came to order as the gavel
fell. There were flowers on the plat
form. Executive council members
nanked the president on either side.
Down below the platform and just in
front, sat the largest newspaper rep
resentaton that ever attended an

table to the four corners of the world
At long tables delegates sat, cheer

was tribute to the veteran leader
and president. Then Mr.. Gompers be
gan his short opening address in
which he said in part:
'In a day like this it is most en-
couraging to have come from your

we have emerged from a condition OF
servitude to understanding by the
great mass of the toilers of America
of the sovereignty of the citizenship

must come to the great toiling masses
of America.

decision of the Lasky outfit to again
put them on the screens. 1t takes a

sition he had, and he is deserving of

Ben w. Olcott, present incumbent,

highest point, thinks there should be
some reductions, and says so in some

led to believe that the strongest man
running is Senator Patterson of Polk
county, a dirt farmer and a man OF
long experience in matters of state
AT this time he seems to be the
strongest opponent that Gov. Olcott
has; he is a man of sound ideas oi
economy and can be counted upon
to put stop to needless expenditures
in the state government, He also
understands thoroughly the prob
lens of the farming communities oI

of the people for governor.

COAST INDUSTRY TO MEET
 WORLD WIDE REQUIREMENTS

TACOMA, March 4.-By reason of the fact that so many bombs and mines have ben exploded in the North Sea. during the world war and for some time afterwards, the de- struction of herring and their spawn has been of such magnitude as to make the industry which flourished since an early period, in the coun- tries bordering on the North Sea, dwindle down to a small percentage of it's former volume.
 The industry there is now operat- ing al seventy-five percent below normal, according to the latest re- ports received, with no chance of recovering for the present.
 Two gasoline tenders left aere today to establish a Scotch cured herring industry on Evans Island,

 Experts believe that Alaska can supply the whole worlds demand successfully.
