on the feeding of minerals to swine. In
their Circular No. 20, just issued, the re-

In their circular Prof. John M. Evvard
says: ''The test covered the breeding
season and pregnancy period of the gifts,
and also two months sucking period on
the gifts and their Filters. -Four groups of
ten gifts each were fed"
One group received no minerals. The
other three groups each received different

LABOR BODIES NOT
EXEMPT FROM SUIT
AND PROSECUTIONS
Supreme Court Decision
Rules Labor Unions Can Be
Held Liable for Property
and Damage

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Labor
organizations are not exempt from
prosecution under the Sherman anti
trust law, the supreme court today
announced.
The court delivered such an opin-
ion in the celebrated Coronado coal
case, one of the most important
pieces of labor litigation ever to
come before the nations highest
tribunal.
The court held that labor organiza-
tons can be held liable for property
and other damages caused by the
acts of members, during strikes. The
decision was delivered by Chief JUS
tice Taft.
The case was brought against the
United Mine Workers of America
against the Coronado and other coal
companies, arising out of the Arkan-
sas strikes Of 1914.
Chief Justice Taft, in delivering
the opinion, stated that there had
been no misjoinder of parties in the
suit as brought. He discussed at
length the question of the STABILITY
Of the national ard international
unions. If the unions were response
BILE for what was done. pointing out
that in common law unincorporated
organizations could be sued as indi.
viduals, but from necessity of exist
ing conditions it was utterly impos~
sible of doing justice otherwise than
by holding labor unions suable.
With regard to the United Mine
Workers Of America organization the
court found that the international
and it's officers did not order the
strike or ratify it, and that they
should not have been made parties
to the suit.
Discussing the details of the strike,
Chief Justice Taft said the evidence
showed the violence was purely a
union attack under the guidance Of
the district officers of the union.
The lower federal courts had
awarded the Coronado and eight 9TH
err coal companies treble damages
amounting to 100000 against the
United Mine, Workers of America
and district union No. 2. The dam
ages were held to have resulted from:
the acts of union miners, on the
ground that the acts were part Of
a conspiracy to restrain interstate
shipments of coal.

Mr.. Haley declares the ghost first

front door. He got UP and went to
the door, but no one was there. For
several nights thereafter, he de-

Eleven Union Heads to Meet"
in Cincinnati Tuesday to
Discuss Expected Wage
Reductions

CHICAGO, June 3.-Strike votes
road workers, returnable on the
same date, probably about August
3, will be decided upon at the rail
way labor conference in Cincinnati
this week, in the opinion of B. M.
Jewell, president of the Railway
Employees department, American
Federation of Labor.
The employees expected to vote are
those affected by the new wage re-
duction orders already announced.
I'VE are certain that the general
committees would reject the new
wage reductions" he said. $50 there

matter before the committee as

Eleven standard railway union
heads will gather in Cincinnati
Tuesday to take some definite steps

cuts. Mr.. Jewell said, however, that
strike action would be taken in.
dividualIy by the organizations, but
added that undoubtedly if a strike
was voted there would be concerted
action by all the organizations as to
the date of the I walkout and other
general matters.
The six railway shop crafts have
three tentative ballots ready to go
to their membership. Two were au-
thorized at the recent convention
here and the third deals with the
new wage reduction. Another is on
the acceptance or rejection Of seven
working rules promulgated by the
labor board with which the shop
crafts are dissatisfied. The most
important Of these rules are five
concerning time and a half for over
time. The third relates to signing
out shop work, disputes over which
are now before the board.
If the board grants a recent re-
quest of the shop unions to take
jurisdiction of the contract cases
and restore wages and rules in effect
prior to the alleged illegal changes,
that ballot will be withdrawn. Mr..
Jewell said.
The shop crafts already have
strike ballot in their pockets from
the 1921 wage reduction and Mr..
Jewell said today that so far as the
shop unions were concerned one
more strike vote should be sufficient

Erwin Bergdoll, Brother
OF Grover, Seeks His
Release From Prison

TOPEKA, Kans., June "a petit
ton asking a writ OF habeas corpus
to obtain his release from the fed
eral disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth was filed in federal
court Saturday by Erwin Rudolph
Bergdoll. brother of Grover CleYe-
land Bergdoll, draft evader. Erwin
Bergdoll is serving a four-year SEN
tence on charge of evading the
draft.
In his petition Bergdoll attacks
the draft law passed May II. 1917,
charging that it violates the federal
constitution in that it places the
states under the command of the
provost marshal general and violates
the 14th amendment.
Bergdoll also claims that a man
must enlist before he can become
soldier and that inasmuch as he
never enlisted he was not soldier
and cannot be prosecuted as such.
He also claims that failure to ap-
pear for a physical examination can
only be classed as civil offense and
that he was sentenced to four years
when the statutes provide only Is
months.
