ment has been reached by leaders OF
the senate agricultural bloc on two
alternatives designed to remove ohtec-
tions held by President Harding to
legislation proposing farmer repre-
sentative on the federal reserve board.
These are expected to be presented to
the White House so that the president
may indicate his preference.
The first suggestion said to have
been adopted after informal confer
ences was that the proposed statute be
changed to CIV. mem. ersh!p on the
board to representatives to several
phases of national industrial and COM
mercial effort. Tho second would wipe
out any designation as to the make-up
of the board which now must include

This is the heart of the Chinese

unhappy condition of those two couu-

but the conference will not adjourn
with any action concerning them that
is unsatisfactory to the American

careful Observance of tho principle

one will seek special advantages or

Mr. Hughes then expressed for
himself the hope that before the con-

about China and the Far East should
be put into an appropriate agreement
and that such an agreement should be

That is the point at which the confer

COURT WILL NOT
 MUZZLE PRESS

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 1-Free ex- pression of opinion must not be
 abridged, whether it be through a powerful newspaper or the small pamphlet of trade union. The above summarizes a remark able decision by Judge Luce of the superior court of this county, who has refused to enjoin organized mo- tion picture operators from urging a boycott on an anti-union picture house.
 The theater manager objected to the uninists' claim that people risk their lives in this theater because of incompetent operators. The court said
 "The court would have difficulty in finding from the evidence introduced that there was no risk in the employ ment of non-union operators employ ed by the plaintiffs or that the danger of fire was entirely unfounded or that films were not explosive"
 In other alleged exaggerations, the
 court held that if this were true the
 law and not injunction offers relief.
 Tt must be clearly remembered, "
 said the court, "that any rule laid
 down in this case must have equal ap-
 plication to the publication of circu- lars and newspapers, whether they be large Or small, and whether they be the organs of organized labor or the organs of organized wealth"
 The court refused to use the iniunc- ton power to stop free expression of opinion, and insisted that if the plain tiffs are wronged they have other remedies that the law provides.
 The. court quoted from the Mon tana state supreme court, in the case of Lindsay & Co., versus the Mon tana State Federation of Labor:
 "To declare that court may say that an individual may not publish a particular item is to say that the court may determine in advance just what the citizen may or may not speak or write upon given subject -is, in fact, to say that such court IS censor of speech as we'll as of the press"
 In the Montana case the company insisted that defendants were inso1- vent, and the court should enjoin them The court replied: Even granting this to be so, still the con stitution does not discriminate among men according to the amount of their possessions"
 After reviewing other solemn warn ings on the danger of court control of opinoin or the press, Judge Luce said: {#
 ''It no doubt has been the desire of many business men and citizens of the community at times to restrain news paper publications, statements and that injure them either by violating their personal privileges or damaging their business, but the dan gers, as pointed out in the. above cases, in constituting the court the censor of the press, are far too great to permit the use of the injunction in cases such as the one at bar"

GREAT PRINTERS STRIKE
 ENDS SUCCESSFULLY

44-hour week for a year. The em- ployers insisted on two years A compromise was reached and the em- ployers entered into an agreement to establish the 44-hour week at the end of I8 months.
 Employers Violate Agreement
 At the expiration of that period of time, May, 1921, the business depres- sion had arrived, "defation" was un- der way. The "open shop" crusaders were abroad in the land. The em- ployers violated their contracts and attempted to convince the public that the printers were striking for higher wages in the face of business depres- sion. There was great surplus of labor and the employers urged on by the open shoppers courted strike.
 The printers went out but they went out to win. They have won. More than 90 per cent of the 10000 men employed in the commercial printing plants of the country are back at work under the contracts en- forced by the strike
 Many of the employers who held out the longest and some that are still holding out are not fighting union printers willingly. They are coerced and frightened into keeping up the fight by the open shop ele-. ment, Vice President Howard said.

CAN'T PUT WORKERS
 IN STRAIGHT JACKET

Washington, Dec. 1.-Standard- ized wages and standardized produc- ton in the coal industry are imprac- ticable, declared coal owners and coal miners in replying to the Presidents fact-hnding coal commissions request for information on these subjects.
 Human beings cannot be standard ized," said the coal owners. "We are unconvinced of the wisdom or prac- ticability of attempting to standardize the cost of living for individual work CTS or of standardizing the amount of work they are to perform, for each standardization would necessarily ig- nore individual abilities and require ments."
 The commissions intimation that workers can be put in a straight jack ct brought equally sharp dissent from the miners, who replied:
 "It seems to us that 1t would be i'm possible to standardize the cost of lfv- ing unless each individual mine work CT were required to accept and adopt an identical level of living for him self and his family.
 Any attempt to adopt such a standard or to fix maximum or minimum limit to what the lndividual might wish to adopt for himself as the level of living would outsoviet any system, either paternalistic or communistic, that we know of
 There is no need of standardiza ton as far as the actual miner is con cerned, nor for. it's effect upon the cost of production, because the miner is paid by the ton for the coal he produces, and not by the day nor hour.
 "We do not believe it is possible to standardize the amount of work a man can or should perform in the production of coal Conditions vary in every mine Some miners exper- fence difficulty with water and gas: Methods in use in one place would be impossible in others. Each mine is peculiar to itself as far as working conditions are concerned"

4,OOO CHINESE STRUGGLED IN. EACH
 FORFEITINC $5,OOO
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. I.-The in Aux of Chinese into thesUnited States has been checked materially within the last few months. Increased wig ilance has stopped large numbers who have tried to get through the imm1- grafton bars by smuggling routes, especially in Florida, where bootleg ging and the smuggling of Chinese are twin crime industries. The res toration of the $500 bond provision is said to have checked another seep- age through the assertion of Chinese seamen in American ports,
 The Department of Labor has not compiled information on the number of Chinese seamen assertions, but 1t is known that in San Francisco alone there were $40 assertions of Chinese. It is not known whether in all of these cases bond was forfeited, but it is said that about $2oo,ooo has been collected i'll bond forfeitures because the Chinese forfeit the bond When the regular price for smuggling ser vice on the border Is $I,ooo for each Chinese, 1t is said the Chinese regard $500 as cheap price of admission into the United States.
 According to information supplied by the U. $. Department of Labor more than 4,ooo seamen deserted their ships in American ports. Not all of these deserted because they wished to remain in the United States. Some wanted to change their bosses by transferring to another ship. It is known, however, that many fore igners who can not otherwise enter the United States ship as seamen and desert their ships on arrival in Amer ican ports. Restrictions are difficult because seamen as a group must be given privileges of shore leave or world commerce would suffer. The efforts of the immigration authorities, are directed against inter national and wholesale smuggling. Chinese smuggling required special and therefore the $500 bond provision was restored. It has, it is said, reduced the number of deser- lions of Chinese seamen in San Fran cisco since it became operative.

Cost Typos $12,ooo,ooo to Finish Fight Started by Open Shoppers on May T, Io21-Issue Over Forty Four Hour Week.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. I.-The printers strike, which started May I, 1921, when the employers refused to aDide by their agreement to recog- nize the 44-hour week in commercial printing plants, has been won. In gaming the victory the printers have gwen a remarkable demonstration of solidarity and determination.
 The magnitude of the strike was not Tn the number of men involved but in the fact that the International Typographical Union has expended Qlrectly as the result of the strike $I2, ,ooo
 While this vast sum of money was spent by the printers to enforce a contract agreement there is today in the International Typographical Union treasury more than ST ,ooo, ,ooo more than when the strike started, Vice President Charles P Howard said.
 The printers not only fought for the contract principle to which the union has adhered for years, but bore the brunt of the "open shop" crusade. It was not from choice that the printers engaged in nationwide strike in the face of the frenzy of the "open shop" campaign conceived by big business interests. Events that led up to the strike in May, 1921, made 1t imper alive for the printers to take action or surrender principle.
 Fight Based on 44-Hour Week.
 For many years the printers have operated under contracts with em- ployers, and these contracts, running over period of years, have always been rigidly respected. Because long term contracts were lived up to dur ing war times, the wages of printers increased only 10 per cent while wages advanced in other trades and the cost Of living scared. In some cases the discrepancy was so great that employers voluntarily gave bonuses.
 When negotiations for new con tracts were opened the printers, on account of the development of new machines and the conhning nature of their occupation demanded the A hour week, or the Saturday half-holi- | day. The employers generally ack- nowledged the justice of the demand l but made plea for time to assimi- | late the change in conditions.
 War profteers who were spending | money lavishly in 1919 and 1920 for printed matter and advertising so that | 1t might be~deducted from their in come and excess profits taxes, made a boom in the printing industry.
 The printers at that time might | have enforced almost any terms they pleased. But they agreed to defer the
