bly,, imposing a tax of cents .
gallon on gasoline. are being pre-
pared by Charles marlborough.
director OF the legislative reference
bureau.
One. which was asked by Jap
Jones. Democraticic representative
from Martinsville, would have the
state collect the fees and then re-
turn them to the counties In which
they originated for use on high
ways through the county officials.
Another. sponsored by c. Oliver
Holmes. Republican senator from
Gary. would provide for a four-way
distribution of the money to the
state highway commission and the
counties.
ALL TO HIGHWAY COMMISSION
The other. which probably will
become the administration meas
ure. will provide that the gasoline
license fees go TO the state high
way commission. This bill, It fs
said. will meet the ideas of the
highway commission.

tense moments marked the ses-

representatives OF the street rail-

each other with malevolent glances

a hectic meeting thirty days ago
seven democrats and three rcpub-

the meeting adjourned without a

WOULD IMPEACH
DAUCHERTY

Washington.-Im Impeachment charges
against Attorney General Daugherty
were presented in the house by Con-
gressman Keller, of Minnesota. On
motion of Congressman Mondell, the
majority leader, the charges were re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
Congressman Keller attempted to Sc
cure unanimous consent to discuss the
question for 10 minutes but was
blocked by Congressman Kearns, of
Ohio.
The impeachment charges include
the following: Abridging free speech,
freedom of the press and the right of
peaceful assemblage; that he has
threatened to punish citizens who
have opposed his attempts to over
ride the constitution; that he has used
funds of his office to prosecute per-
sons and organizations for doing
things they have lawful right to do;
that he has failed to prosecute vio-
lators of the law whose conduct has
become a public scandal; that he has
defeated the ends of justice by fav-
oring the release from prison of
wealthy offenders against the law;
that he has failed to prosecute de-
PENDANTS legally indicted.

No injunction can take away these
rights. Some may have to suffer,
some may even see the inside of pri-
son bars; some may be prosecuted in
other forms; but the workers must
never surrender to such an un-Ameri-
can thing as an injunction as long as
they carry on peaceful battle
against the forces which would grind
them down.
If the strike of the shopmen is
lost through the process of the in
junction just issued labor as whole
may we'll be on guard; for the same
in strument will be used in every
future labor disturbance, and those
who toll will be forced to labor un-
der any and all conditions, no matter
what they may be.
The strike of the shopmen is not
one against the government. Ihe
railroads are privately owned and
operated. The labor board is no part
of either the executive or legislative
branches of the government and has
no power to enforce its decisions. IL
it had, why have the executives of the
roads escaped prosecution for refus-
ing to obey the decisions of the board
It is only the workers, If they
dare to strike. who are prosecuted
and prosecuted.
The injunction of Daugherty IS q
confession on the part of the road
officials that the strike of the shop
men is effective on every railroad IN
tbe country. and the injunction, 1t
appears. was only issued in an at
temnt to compel the workers to re-
turn to their jobs.
AS was stated in the beginning OF
this article, the injunction will not De
taken seriously. The strike will be
carried on until justice is done those
who have protested against one-sid-
ed decision, a decision which the work
ers were expected to obey without
question, a decision the road execu'

GET READY TO COUGH UP

GET READY TO COUGH UF
The coal operators say that the
consumers will be the chief losers IN
the coal strike settlement.
We haven't any doubt of that-but
we should say it is something the
operators would do well not to crow
about.
Undoubtedly, if they can not
squeeze some more profits out of their
workers, by reducing wages, they will
try to squeeze some more profits out
of the consuming public by raising
prices.
But it isn't going to help them any
to brag about it. The public might
get onto the facts of the situation.
The public might get spunky and IN
sist upon the public ownership and
operation of the coal mines.
For the public can do that thing
whenever it wants to. A general
public demand for the permanent
public ownership and operation of thu
mines would compel the authorities
at Washington to take them over for
good
And that is what will have to be
done before the consuming public will
get any appreciable relief from the
high cost of coal. The cost of coal is
one of the prices the consumers pay
for their stupidity in electing to pub
lie office men who are pledged to the
maintenance of private ownership of
the basic industries.

INJUNCTION WILL NOT CRUSH
WORKERS

Attorney General Daugherty has
succeeded in having an injunction is
sued which practically forbids anyone
aiding the striking shopmen, but it
covers so much ground that no one
takes it seriously and the prosecu-
ton of the strike goes on unabated
The injunction intends to prevent
the leaders of the strikers from ad
vising or consulting with the men,
to prohibit the collection of funds,
to prevent meetings being held or in
any way lending aid or encourage
ment to the men who have stopped
work in protest against the awards of
the railway labor board. The labor
movement must not permit this or any
other injunction to shackle the work
ers to their jobs, be it railroad work
ers or garment workers.
We have the inalienable right,
guaranteed under the constitution, to
cease work, no matter what the occa-
sion, and labor reserves to it the right
through peaceful methods to keep
others from taking the places of the
workers during strike.
Violence has no place in labor's
program. Labor is against it in every
form, but labor will and must con-
tinue to prevent the breaking of a
strike by those who seem not to un-
derstand the fact that where the
workers are oppressed and forced to
strike those who take their places
will soon meet similar fate. The
only hope for a successful strike is to
keep non-union men from taking the
Iplaces left vacant.

York World last Saturday editorially

York World last Saturday editorially
said:
"No better example of applied
Daughertyism has come to light than
the case against G. v. Sanders, editor
of The Memphis Press, who is held
under $1,000 bail to be tried following
the publication of an article which
criticized the Judge for imposing
heavy fine and a Jail sentence on
another editor who had expressed an
opinion concerning the railroad
strike
TThis opinion, set forth by Editor
Jacob Cohen, of the Labor Review,
was that strikebreakers were dirty
scabs' and industrial scavengers.'
Judge Ross found it in violation of
his version of the Chicago injunction
and sent Cohen to Jail for six months,
fining him $1,000. Thereupon Mr..
Sanders printed an editorial entitled
The King Forbids,' which questioned
the right of the courts to abridge
freedom of speech or of the press.
For that editorial Mr.. Sanders faces
trial, and if any other editor has the
hardihood to continue the battle for
constitutional rights he had best
make ready to be cited in turn.
Judge Ross has simply proved Mr..
Sanders contention for him. There
is to be no discussion of the merits
of the strike, no adverse comment on
court decisions in connection with it.
Mr.. Daugherty has forbidden it. The
courts under his influence have for
hidden it. No king could have sus-
pended a fundamental law more ar
bitraDily or with less warrant. In
Memphis, and probably elsewhere,
the administration of justice has
come to such a pass under the in
spired leadership of the attorney gen.
eral that citizen can be jailed and
fined not only for taking sides in an
industrial dispute but for champion
ing another citizens right to do so.

LABOR'S CREDIT GOOD

Why were the United Mine Work
ers of America able to borrow $780,
900 early in July from the Hartman
National Bank without collateral Sc
curity, and $150,00O from other banks
in order to tide them over the coal
strike? Because, as stated by Harry
B. Rosen, a director of the bank, 'the
integrity of 100000 miners and their
families, ! contend, is equal in credit
to the wealth of a Rockefeller" and
because ain the history of banking
not a penny has ever been lost through
a loan to organized labor. If they
should come into this office again
and want $5,000,000, they could have
it in an hour" he added. The loan
on the Hartman bank was obtained
on the personal notes of John L.
Lewis, president; P. H. Murray, vice.
president, and William Green, secre-
tary-treasurer, of the United Mine
Workers of America. With the $780,
900 in the miners treasury and the
$250,00O borrowed from the banks,
the twenty weeks fight cost the ma
tional body $950,OO0 When the mines
are open and running the income of
the national organization runs from
So 100000 to s3,OOO,OOO year. How
long could the United Mine Work
ers maintain their strike at the rate
Of $950,000 for twenty weeks with a
credit of $5,OOO,OOO available at an
hours notice in one bank? Arith-
metic answers more than two years!
