(By The United Press)


 Cincinnati, June 12.-0rgan- ized labor is i'll no mood to 'have its constitutional rights and privileges taken from it by any subtle reasoning or assump- tion of power, no matter whence 1t shall emanate," Samuel Com pers, president of the American Federation of Labor, declared ill the opening speech Of the na- ti0nal convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. Six hundred delegates cheered when he warned "labor's enemies who plan to carry into effect the de- signs which are intended to crush American labor" Labor does not becloud its mind with any fancied security, he said, but knows it faces a struggle. He made no direct reference to the Coronado or other Supreme Court decisions affecting labor His speech was surprisingly brief. He asserted that labor is prepared to fight the open shop plan.

Flammarion On Spirits


 Camille Flammarion, the famous French astronomer, adds ms lestl- mony to that of the long serles or present-day scientists and authors who have been convinced, by scien- tific observation, that the soul sur wives the body.
 Flammarion, however, is more cautious in his conclusions than Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge and various others. He holds that while there is ample evidence of the souls immediate survival, there is as yet no conclusive evidence of the souls immortality.
 From all he has been able to gather, in seances and in his own independent experiments, he IS sure only that the soul lives and can communicate for a few years after the daath of the body. One curious thing about his testimony is the statement that stupid or evil souls seem to survive and continue to communicate longer than others. Fine. intelligent, pure souls, he suggests, either pass out of exis- tence very soon, or else go on to, a higher plane of existence--he is not sure which, and so as scien-- list refrains from expressing a defi- nite opinion.
 All this is no novelty to anyone who is at all familiar with the ideas held in the Orient, particular ly in India, regarding the nature and constitution of man. Flammar- ion sets forth as a new discovery what Theosophists and other fol- lowers of Eastern philosophy have long taught regarding !. the, imme- diate fats of the individual after death. But the rather unintelligent entity which he calls the ''soul" the Theosophists call the "astral body.,' This, they say, is merely a second body, composed of subtle matter, which lives on for a time after the death of the physical body, and then slowly disintegrates. They hold that it is unintelligent and purely mechanical, except when animated by the intelligent mind, and that the mind, soul or spirit the real individuality. whatever name is applied-passes on to heaven, leaving this mere "astral shell" to come at the beck of me- dinms and utter it's platitudes or give undependable information
 What the truth may be about matters, it would be rash to say; but it may be that these Western scientific investigators of spirit phenomena" have something to learn, after all, from the East.

LABOR IS IGNORED

Heretofore the labor cost of an article was regarded by Republican tariff makers as the foundation upon which tariff taxation must rest.

WHO TRAGEDIES WHOM?

It is very sad to learn that in Hawaii a major general and a rear admiral are prevented from going to the same dinner because there is a question as to which should go first Each officer insists that he should frank, and their respective depart |ments at Washington have been un- |able to decide this momentous ques- |tion.
 It might be supposed that Secre- |tary of War Weeks ought to know if anybody does, because he is a graduate of the naval academy, and so is familiar with both branches of the service. It might be supposed |also that Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt ought 10 know, be- caues he has been an officer in the army. But both of these authorities holds out for the prestige of his own general of the army and navy re- |spectively are likewise at odds about it.
 Surely this question of precedence can be settled before it disrupts the government or causes volcanic eruption in Hawaiian society. In lieu of final official decision from Washington mere civilian would think that the officers could forget their rank for the nonce, and pre- tend that they're just gentlemen, following the rule of ordinary social behavior, which is to let the other man go first.
 And yet that might not solve the problem The thing might change into an interminable Alphonse and Gaston act, with the gold braided officers and all the other guests starving at the door of the dining room. It is an awful situation.

COAL PRICES.

The National Retail Coal Mer- chants Association has informed Sec retary Hoover that as a result of his fixing the maximum price of coal at the mine as $350 a ton, there will be an increase in the re- tail price of as much as $1.75 ton. One reason for raising the price of coal is probably as good as an other, but this is certainly curious situation. The object in establish ing maximum price is to keep prices from rising above the level set in case they should show any such tendency. Yet it is assumed that the mine owners immediately will take the establishment of that limit as permission to avail them selves of it, and make it the mini mum price as well as the maximum
 This has been, indeed, common practise in such cases in the past Secretary Hoover, however, bluntly announces that he will not stand for IL Tn this case, and neither will he stand for retailers raising their own prices in anticipation of such a raise at the mine, and blaming it on the 
 The public is with nim in this matter. What the people want to see, above everything else, is a reign of decency and moderation in the coal business.

RAILROAD STRIKE ILLEGAL?

The United States Supreme Court has held, in an opinion recently de- livered by Chief Justice Taft with the assent of his associates, that a labor union is responsible, and can be sued, for causing damage and re- course of a strike.
 Railroad organizations are now en- gagged in taking a vote on the ques- tion of authorizing their leaders to call a strike, as a result of the wage cut ordered by the Railroad Labor Commission.
 If any railroad strike is called it may provide the first application of this ruling.
 The nature of the damages whose infliction must be paid for by the striking organization is not al together clear, although it seems to contemplate losses due to violence If this interpretation is correct, a peaceful strike would be immune in this respect. If it covers busi- ness losses suffered by employers through the mere suspension of work in their plants, that is diff ferent matter, and any body of strikers might be sued. That would make the ruling amount to a virtual prohibition of strikes, and is there- fore hardly thinkable.
 It is evident, however, that any railroad strike is bound to inter- fere with interstate commerce. That would seem to amount to a prOhibi- tion of railroad strikes, although Congress has always refused to enact any such prohibition. For this req son the issue will be awaited with unusual interest.
