secretary of the striking shop craft men i'll the metropolitan district, re- ceived word from Secretary of Labor James J. Davis that his department had started Nan investigation of charges of contract labor brought by labor leaders alleging the English mechanics had been imported to work in the, Lehigh Valley shops at Coxton and Germans had been brought in to work in the New Haven shops at East Hartford
 Secretary Davis said:
 "If 1t IS found that importation of men has actually been going on it will be promptly stopped"
 General Manager C. L. Bardo of the New Haven road when told that an investigation had been started, said;, 'I don't know anything about 1t; it's the first I have heard of 1t. It's against the law and we know 1t and we wouldn't do such a thing"
 After John C. Ready, system chair man of the striking shopmen, had stated in a public speech that J. H. Miller, having an office at II8 Asy- lum street, Hartford, had imported Germans to work on the New Haven road MT Miller issued a statement in which he said that he had nothing to do with the Germans coming here, but, during visit to Germany, the three men had inportuned his wife, as relative and-close personal friend, to aid them in getting to America where they could escape the misery of life in Germany. MT. Miller claimed that his wife and other relatives in Germany had financed the trip and that he had not contributed to the passage of the men to the United States.

Act and the establishment of the di- vine right theory, Judge Call added the following anti-labor comment:
 "I am of the opinion that that DOT ton of the Clayton Avt giving jury trial to persons charged with con tempt in violating the injunctional or der of this court Is of no force even in cases which fall strictly under said act.
 "In the instant case 1t is extremely doubtful if these are cases falling un- der said act.
 These parties were not employees of the railroad at the time of the is suance of the injunction. The rela- ton of employer and employe had been severed and no longer existed, by the withdrawal of such parties from the employment heretofore ex- isting"
 It is, of course obvious that by this reasoning the court can apply the use of the injunction to remove the right of trial by jury, or to de- prive the individual of due process of law" as accepted for centuries in common law practice.

TRADES COUNCIL BACKS UP
 MAYOR DAVID E.. FITZGERALD /. IN HIS FIGHT FOR COAL

WHEREAS, The moral force of 10000 organized workers IS hereby pledged to Mayor FitzGerald in his efforts to help relieve the sufferings now in our midst, and that the New Haven Trades Council implore our mayor to officially protest to the proper authorities at Washington against this condition, and
 WHEREAS, There exists in this state and city administrators of fuel distribution that the wage earners claim are unneeded expense added to the cost of coal, and that we demand the immediate discontinuance of any, and all offices and officers that have to do with determining who shall get coal and who shall not, even though money IS offered for the product, and which continuance of said administra- tors is felt as making an additional expense to the people, and
 WHEREAS, We request His Honor Mayor David E. FitzGerald to call a gathering of the people of this city in order to protest, loudly against the grating system now ex- isting in the coal business; therefore be 1t
 RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the con gress of these United States in order to bring about a proper supply of coal in this locality"
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-12-22

At the regular meeting of the New Haven Trades Council, held Thurs day evening, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 , WHEREAS, There appeared in the public press in the city of New Haven, on Intervening of Dec. 20, an interview coming from the mayor of the city, David E. FitzGerald, which interview pertained to the serious condition now existing in this city due to the shortage, of coal for do- destic use, and
 WHEREAS, The statements pub llshed as coming from the mayor of the city gave most complete history of the grip that the coal barons have now on the people, and as there are at this time large numbers of sick children and aged people in the city due to homes that have no coal there in, and
 WHEREAS, The New Haven Trades Council, composed of dele gates representing 58 trade organiza- tions, feel very keenly of this acute situation, and that due to this ab- normal condition, that the Council stand solidly behind Mayor David E. FitzGera1d in his claims against the injustice of those that have to do with furnishing of coal to the people, and

 Some of the injuries in the Turkey Hill wreck, were due to the presence on the train of an extra caboose. The crew which was occupying this ca boose had been on the road over its allotted I6 hours and was therefore 'outlawed' and had to be replaced by second crew"
 At the meeting of the strikers at the Trades Council hall, J. J. Dowd, an international chairman of the Boil ermakers' Union and chairman of the strike committee in the port of New York, spoke at some length on the conditions prevailing on the road.
 The strikers reported that one of the foremen who has been working in the shop and five of his strike breaking employees have had the we'll known "gate" pointed out to them, because they thought their work was so unimportant that they could leave it and go visiting to saloons in the neighborhood.

partment: the legislative, the execu- tive and the judicial, are separate from and independent of each other, and their legitimate provinces may not be invaded by the others.
 That the power to punish for con tempt is inherent in the courts, and being so inherent, it is essential to and inseparable and inalienable from them.
 That this power exists indepen- dent of legislation; cannot be taken away by legislation or abridged.
 That the Clayton Act, insofar as it undertakes to give one charged with contempt of court by a wilful viola ton of an injunction duly issued by the court a right of trial by jury, so abridges the inherent power of the court to punish for such contempt, that it materially impairs it and in such respect is nugatory.

TRUTH COMING TO LIGHT
 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HEREIN MASSACRE" TOOK PLACE
OPEN SHOP IS OPEN. IN NAME ONLY, SAYS
 E. (. HOTCHKISS

Charging many of the manufactur- CTS of the state with inconsistency in Expression and practice of so4called beliefs," Edward C. Hotchkiss, busi- ness agent of the International Asso- citation of Machinists scored manu- lecturers who, at the meeting of the Manufacturers Association of Con- necticut, this week, claimed to be thoroughly in accord with the open shop movement.
 "The open shop in any number of the manufactures of the state means an open shop that is closed to union labor In the Winchester Repeating Arms company factory ,the head of which, AIT. J. E. Otterson, sets him self forth as in favor of the open think of a union. If he does he is immediately discharged" said MT. Hotchkiss. "If the manufacturers only stuck to the fundamentals of the open shop plan, ,, everything would come along nicely" added MT Hotch- kiss.
 They claim the open shop means fair play. It has been our experience with the average manuf facturer in this state that they do not k now the mean ing of fair play. They say that they have no objections to men joining unions providing there is no outside coercion. They say that and mean something entirely different
 "In the very shops of these men who endorse the open shop plan, men have been approached after joining union and told either to give up their cards or else leave the shop
 There are, however, many employ CTS who do favor the open shop plan 2 Here Mir. Hotcfkiss named several local factories where ;the open shop pran IS in force "But the average employer fears," continued MT. Hotchkiss, "that unions send men in- to the so-called open shops to coerce non-union workers into joining the union"

 UNION HOLDS ITS
 ANNUAL MEETING,

The manufacturers union" held its annual meeting at the Hotel Taft during the week and laid plans for the coming year which include another drive on organized labor and great 5ly increased members ship, so the union" will be in better position to fight any increase in taxes which might be levied against the union"
 Dtrring the course of the session E. Kent Hubbard made an address in which he passed out a lot of bunk about the desirability of small manu- facturers joining the union" because no aggressive campaign could be sue cessfully carried out without the en- tire cooperation of everyone who is engaged in manufacturing.
 The union" is not against labor ganizations, says Hubbard, but Is nnalterably opposed to boycotts and blacklists because the manufacturers "union" has the copyright on these things and ii wants no infringement on the copyright.
 Speaking of the railroad strike MT Hubbard pointed out that the 5000 workers who quit the railroad last July have lost $2,o52,62o in wages but where he gets his figures he did not state. If he had made the statement that the business men of the state had lost this sum of money as the result of the strike it would be nearer the truth because the places of the striking shopnen have been filled by cheap foreign labor with one idea in mind and that IS to accumulate enough money to return to their form CT homes across the sea.
 In winding up it's session the manu- lecturers union" voted to give $5,ooo towards the open shop campaign but nothing was said of the cost of the last campaign which was started al most two years ago. Of course this money did not really come out of the funds of the union" because as soon as the drive on organized labor was started the wages of the employees in the factories were slashed in half so the workers really paid all expenses for the campaign.
 The election of officers took place on the last day of the session and E. Kent Hubbard of Middletown was elected president of the union" 9th CT officers are: Vice-president, John H. Goss, Waterbury; secretary-treas- urer, R. C. Buell., Hartford These di- rectors were reelected: H. B. Sar- gent, New Haven, New Haven coun- ty; C. E. Bilton, Bridgeport, Fairfield county; F. S. Chase, Waterbury, and C. B. Whittlesey, Hartford, directors at-large. The bylaws were revised to read that the annual meeting will hereafter be held in October or No vember instead of in December. This was done in order to avoid the con tingency of cold weather.

Concerning the recent wreeks on the New Haven road system, the strikers of the road issued the fol- lowing statement:
 There were three wrecks on the New Haven road within. 48 hours last week. As yet the blame for these wrecks has not been affixed If the investigation is carried far enough, however, 1t will be found that they were in no way due to inability of the engineer to see his signals, nor to any other cause of this nature A thorough investigation will show that the cause of the wrecks was no other than the dilapidated condition in which the road equipment is at pres ent.,
 Of course, we do not expect that the investigation will give out any such reason as this, so we are won dering just where the blame will be placed. Due to the fact that no deaths resulted from the wrecks the blame cannot be placed on the dead man as 1t was in the past.

CRIPPLED TRAIN
 SERVICE CAUSE
 OF COAL CRISIS
Production at Mines Far Exceeds Capacity of Railroads to
 Move Fuel.
By EDWARD R. CALDWELL,
 in The New York Globe.

Mt. Carmel, Pa, Dec. 2o.-Five thousand men hired and fired in one month in railroad repair shop center which under normal conditions em- ploys 1000 men. This is the story of the Lehgh Valleys troubles at it's shops, in Sayre, Pa, in it's struggles to move coal, which include the searching for mechanics who know more than the difference between a wheel fange and boiler.
 At the Ashmore shops of the Jersey Central 375 men are working. Of these, I2 are admitted to be frst-class mechanics. In peace time all the work is done by I75 men.
 In the Lehigh Valleys yard at Easton are I5o dead engines; at Mauch Chunk, the Jersey Central has two long tracks full of them. At Packerton, concealed by the line of shops, is another string of dead Le- high engines. And on sidings outside the town of McAdoo, once known as the toughest place in the coal regions, the Philadelphia & Reading las 1000 broken down coal cars waiting re- pairs.
 Move Two Trains.
 Two trains were moved out of the Hazleton yards of the Lehigh Valley during Tuesday. As general thing, these yards are cleaned up at nine in the morning. Tuesday afternoon there was coal enough on hand to make eight trains.
 Now for a glance at the coal accu- mutation again. No. 400 co1liery of the Lehigh Valley, near Hazleton, was blocked with loaded coal cars Tues day afternoon right up to the breaker There were strings of loaded cars from Hazleton to Stockton, a distance of thre miles. In normal times these tracks are cleaned every day. Just outside of Hazleton, at place known as Old Silver Brook, seventy loaded coal cars of the Jersey Central have rusted to the rails for a, month. 7 Fron, HazIeton tSJoxville on ale high Valley storage. track, hidden from almost all highways, there is a o-mile-long string of empty /cars waiting for the shop repair gangs to get to them. This track, under nor nal conditions is empty of cars every night. The repair men have to ac- count at each quitting time for the work they have done that day, and it has never been the custom to have cars wait over a day.i The waiting time now Is measured i'll weeks and even months.

Congress Cannot Curb Court Power to Punish Contempt, is
 Ruling of Judge Call, Florida

A dangerous, divine right theory is being established by the courts of the country, especially in conjunction with the injunction sophistry of anti labor propagandists.
 The assumption of power by the courts reached a c1imax-or perhaps one of a series. of climaxes-in the decision last month by Judge Rhydon Nj. Call, in the United States District Court at Jacksonville, Fla, in which he held unconstitutional that portion of the Clayton Act providing for a jury trial i'll matters of contempt, thing done by him be of such char offcnSe under any statute of the United States"
 The ancient right of trial by jury has been under attack for some time by a certain group of autocrats, some of them entrenched in the courts, who believe that the affairs of the country should be conducted by a few masters"
 Government by injunction has been the vehicle for eliminating jury trials in industrial disputes. Due process of law" as the majority of the people of the United States understand this constitutional clause, was intended to prevent the autocratic assumption of power by courts.
 The reasoning of the court in this instance is interesting in its reaction ary tendency. It assumes that the Clayton Act was an encroachment by Congress on the province of the court and also that the court is the only agency which can determine the pro- vince of the court. The will of the people, as expressed through Con- gress is therefore of no consequence to the courts.
 Judge Call said in his decision, which was made in the case of Bur rell Atchison and Harry Roberts, and L. H. Shehee, who were seeking jury trial in contempt proceedings subsequent to Judge Calls injunction in the recent rail strike
 "The position of the government is that congress transcended it's powers in attempting to provide for a jury trial in cases of contempt, for the wilfull disobedience of court order
 "The government contends that un- der our system of government estab- lished by the constitution, each de
