.It does not require a govern

Its finding no doubt will be Of

urge at this time. Our nation has
been committed from the begin

has had pretty good success in
giving representation TO all classes
under this system. The Federation
of Labor itself has recognized this
fact for many years by consistent

PAROLEDO
NOT SUSPEND
SENTENCE
Supreme Court Renders De-
cision That Prison Sentence
Runs Concurrently With
Parole

Columbia, Nov. 81. Holding
that the sentence against a pris-
oner out under a parole from the
governor continues to run while the
prisoner is at liberty, the supreme
court yesterday morning handed
down a decision ordering Col. a.
K. Sanders, superintendent Of the
penitentiary, to release Grover
Crooks from his custody.
Crooks was convicted of assault
and battery in Oconee county in
1916, and sentenced to
serve SIX years. He was paroled
December %, 1921, by Governor
Cooper during good behavior" and
September 49, 1922, Governor Har-
vey revoked the parole because
Crooks, he said, had violated its
terms.
In the decision handed down yes
terday, written by Justice Marion
and concurred in by Justices Watts,
Fraser and Cotllran, the court says
that the parole granted to Crooks
did not suspend his sentence. but
that Crooks remained in conten-
plation of the law as if IN legal
custody and continued to serve his
sentence. Chief Justice Gary dis
sented from the opinion. Crooks
sentence had expired by virtue OF
the operation of the law on April
S, 1922, and there was no further
service due the state by the peti-
toner, the. court holds.
The court draws distinction
between suspended sentence" and
Conditional pardon" along with
parole" The governor could grant
a conditional pardon or suspend a
sentence and a prisoner would be
liable to complete the remainder
of his sentence if the governor
saw fit to revoke his act giving
clemency, the court says.
Crooks was in the custody Of the
sheriff of Oconee county at the
time his parole was revoked, being
under charges of breach OF the
peace. The court orders him re-
turned to the sheriff. The case was
argued before the court on a Pc
tition for writ Of habeas corpus,
taken out before Justice Watts,
but returrable before the full court
The decision yesterday was OF
far reaching effect. It applies to
the Reed Shaw case in Anderson
Judge Prince having released
Shaw under habeas corpus pro-
ceedings because ne held that
Shaw's sentence had expired. The
court, while not considering the
Shaw case, upholds the action OF
Judge Prince. Shaw's parole was
revoked by Governor Harvey after
his sentence had expired, consider
ing that it ran concurrently with
the parole and was not held in
abeyance. as was decided in the
opinion yesterday. Several othe,
cases. are likely to develop within
a short time.

ANOTHER COAL STRIKE:

Representatives OF the soft coal
miners and operators, meeting in
Chicago after long preparation,
have had trouble in agreeing on q
method whereby they can get to-
gether later to figure out next
years wage scale.
When there is 50 much difficulty
with a mere preliminary. what
will they do when they face the ac-

tug of war begins again: Will
there be the same old deadlock,

down of the coal industry .:indefi:-

tors tors, try to starve each other out
and really do starve out the inno--
