ment, condemning the draft law as oppressive
and unconstitutional, and contending that SOL
diers could not legally be sent outside the coun-
the postoffice department in the face of the plea
that the constitutional right to a free press had
been violated by the exclusion from the mails.
The matter published, the court held, was not
designed to secure the amendment or repeal of
the laws denounced, but to create hostility to
them and to encourage their violation. The court
added:
Freedom of the press may protect criticism
and agitation for modification or repeal of laws,
but it does not extend to protection of him who
counsels and encourages the violation of the law
as it exists. The constitution was adopted to
preserve our government, not to serve as a pro-
tecting screen for those who, while acclaiming
its privileges, seek to destroy it.
I'm another decision, in a somewhat similar
case, the court commented on the invoking of
the constitution to protect people who were seek
ing to destroy it. "A curious spectacle was pre-
sented,' it said. The great ordinance of govern
ment and orderly liberty was invoked to justify
the activities of anarchy or of the enemies of the
United States, and by a strange perversion of its
precepts it was adduced against ITSELF
"The underlying idea is that any person in
America has the. right to criticize a law and urge
its appeal. He has no right to urge its violation.
A person may denounce the Volstead act and call
for its repeal. He has not right to advocate boot

the strike it may be said that in the
bituminous mines production ceased
wherever the miners belonged to the
union and in some independent fields
the workers went out as evidence of
their complete sympathy with the
strikers. The union miners held their
forces intact throughout the period of
the strike, and the only soft coal that
produced came from the non-union
mines. This amounted to from $780,
900 to 100000 tons weekly as against
a normal production or demand of g.
000, 900 to- 10000, 900 tons per week.
In the anthracite fields production
came to an absolute stop. Not all the
miners there belong to the union, but
the operators are closely organized;
they have always conducted their bus
mess on the basis of the agreement
with the union and none of them
would undertake to mine coal with
Independent miners or strike break
ers. There was no attempt to break
the strike and there was no independ
ent or n~on-union production to meet
or partially to meet the demand from
consumers.
Only One
Serious Outbreak
For the most part there was little
lawlessness during the strike. The
n black blot vas the Herrin massa
ere, which is not to be discussed now
that the affair is before the grand
jury. There were some unseemly
demonstrations in Pennsylvania, but
nothing happened that was serious un.
less it be held with the strikers that
the1r rights of free speech and free
assemblage were invaded and thai
that is a serious matter. In any event,
1t is not to be forgotten that almost
every coal mine would be ruined with.
in a comparatively short period OF
time unless the pumps were KEEP
working and certain other things done
regularly, and that the striking min
ers did in every instance leave enough
men on the job to preserve the Goa,
properties. Of course, in the long rur
1t was to their interest to do this, but
it was equally to the interest of the
operators, SO the miners should be
given due credit.
When the strike in the bituminou:
field was called off, or rather when the
bituminous miners began to return Il
~
work, it was as the result of an agree
ment with certain of the operator:
that the old wage scale and workins
agreement should be continued unit
March 81 next and that the check-of
system also should continue where i
had prevailed.
In the anthracite fields the oil
agreement is resumed and will be con
tinued until August 81 next.
In neither field is there a wage re
duction or a wage increase. The bi
luminous miners did not ask for NOR,

What Free Speech Involves

Just what do the constitutional guarantees
for free speech mean and amount TOP a friend
writes to The Kansas City Star. Various kinds
of free speech are forbidden, as l understand it,
under the Daugherty injunction. Isn't that an
interference with the right of free speech?'
The first amendment of the constitution
provides that congress shall make no law : : :
'abridging the freedom of speech or of the press
That doesn't mean absolute license. TIL courts
have held that freedom of speech is not abridged,
for instance, by the prohibition Of addresses in
public parks or of the publication of libelous or
indecent matter. The right of free speech is
exercised subject to regulation.
"A general principle was laid down by the
supreme court of the United States in a decision
last year, which applies to many of the questions
raised.

that newspapers violating the act should not be

After Dinner Stories

In the early days of Comstock Lodge
at Virginia City, New, many of the
practical miners came to grief on the
stand in court proceedings, according
to R. H. Stretch, a veteran of the city
mining days. who later became state
~mineralogist. He gives one instance.
The witness stood up well under cross
examination until the following dia-
logue took place:
Captain, you testified that there
was a clay seam in the west cross
cut?"
Yes, sir"
And it dipped so ~degrees?"
Yes, sir"

By FREDERICK J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. Is. =
The question as to which side won the
coal strike is heard on every hand
now that the controversy which par
alyzed the great fuel industry for five
months is at an end, temporarily
speaking. 1t may not be important,
and it may be difficult to give an
answer that will stand unchallenged,
but there is a general and altogether
reasonable desire to know whether the
big fight was a draw or whether the
miners or the operators can claim the
victory.
AS matters stand there was no decis-
ion. In fact, there was no referee, u
less President Harding may be said
to have occupied that unenviable posi-
ton, and if the president was the ref
cree he has not seer fit to tell the
public what he thought as to the re-
suit.
1t is possible, however, t o review the
causes of the strike, to state what
happened during the conflict and to
approximate the situation now that it
is all over. That may shed SONS light
on the mooted question.
The miners through their union had
wage contracts o agreements which
expired March 81 last. The bitumi-
nous operators declined to meet with
the representatives of the miners in
national conference to negotiate a new
agreement. The miners claimed that
this was in and of itself a violation
of the contract between the operators
and them. The latter claimed that in
asmuch as such engagement might
be held to be a conspiracy in viola
ton of the antitrust law they could
not be expected to enter a conference.
In the anthracite field the operators
met with the miners to work out a
new contract covering wages and
working conditions, but no agreement
was reached up to and including March
81. Thereupon the miners in both
fields declined to go to work on April
1, and the strike was N. 1t was not
called a strike by the miners, but just
as the rose would smell al sweet il
called by any other name, what hap.
pened in the coal industry had all the
effect of a strike, whatever anybody
decided to call it.
Facts At Issue
In Conflict.
The bituminous miners had not pre-
SenL6Q any OSLlduuS dS u IH6 new
contract, so it can not be said thai
they struck against a wage reduction
1t was we'll known, however, that the
operators were determined hat there
should be a wage reduction, and tina
the miners we're i%nsistent upon a con
tinuance of the old wage scale. The
union was also determined that the
check-off system should be perpetua
ted, while the operators were equal!
set upon it's abolition. The check-off
be it remembered, is the arrangement
whereby the union dues and fees ar
withheld from the miners pay by thu
operators and turned over to the treas
urer of the union.
In the anthracite branch of the Goa
industry the miners demanded a wag'
increase and asked for the establish
ment of the check-off system, whicl
has never prevailed in those fields
The operators, on the other hand, cor
tended that there should be a wag
reduction. There were other issues
but none of sufficient importance t
have caused a strike or lockout.
Now as to what TRANSFERRED durin
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-09-13

lost a tremendous amount of money
during the months they were idle.
The anthracite miners asked for g
wage increase and they do not get It,
so it may be claimed with some JUS
tice that they lost their strike in so
far as the wage issue was concerned.
However, there is every reason to be-
lieve that they would have been glad
to renew their wage agreement last
March if the operators could have
brought themselves to the point of
submitting such a proposition. AS
it is the miners will have the old rate
for practically a whole year from the
close of the strike.
The operators, of course, have real
lied good prices on the coal stocks on
hand at the time of the strike, and
particularly in the bituminous fields,
they will now get prices such as never
would have obtained if there had been
no cessation of production. The mi
ners will have work at full time, and
possibly at overtime, for the next year
at least, whereas otherwise they would
not have averaged more than three or
four days a week. Conditions in an

@. Where was Henry Ford's father
born? G. F. NJ.
A. Henry Ford's father, William
Ford, was of English ancestry, al
though born near the town of Bran
don, Ireland. He emigrated to Amer
lea at the age of 20 and settled on a
40-acre tract in Greenfield township,
eight miles west of Detroit.
@. Is Mount Rainier 10000 feet
high or 14,408 feet high?
A. This mountain rises 10000 feet
above its Immediate surroundings and
its peak is 14,40S feet above sea level.
Q. Is it warmer in summer and
colder in winter, six miles above the
surface of the earth? L. NJ. w.
A. The weather bureau says that
according to the fullest records they
have. the temperature of the atmos,
phere at the elevation OF six miles is
a few degrees higher in summer than
in winter. This appears to be due, IN
mart at least. to the greater amount OF
radiation in summer than in winter
from the earth and lower atmosphere
The average temperature six miles
above sea level at latitude 40 degrees
is roughly. go degree Fahrenheit.
