ENEMIES OF LIBERTY
AND FAIR PLAY
(By The Federated Press)

Trenton, N. ]. = Both of the great
political parties are engaged in con-
test to see which can Guido the other
in interfering with personal liberty and
initiative, said ex- overnor E. c. Stokes
in a speech here.
A senator, not long lead, not long
ago Iamented that in 10 years govern
ment agents had increased from l67
to 5000. To-Day 100000 would not
cover the number. Government sIeuths
are everywhere. If Senator Stanley is
correct, there are over hundred COM
missions for the regulation Of individ-
ual activities, and in 10 years they
have spent 100000 of the taxpay-
ers' money. Every day life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, as vouchsaf-
ed in the Declaration of independence,
are ceasing to be inaIienable rights"

RAILROAD WORKERS RIGHTS

Washington. = Two million rail.
road employees, if their average annual
earnings of ST 500 be capitalized at 5
percent, represent labor investment in

OOO,O00,000, or more than three times
the claimed capital value of the rail
road properties to-day.
This application of the principle ad-
yanced by Glenn Plumb and endorsed
by A. F. of L. at its Denver conven-
ton last year, is made by the shopmen' S
strike committee to the claim by the
investor" to first consideration in The
strike crisis. The committee denies
that the interest represented by the la
Dor investment can under the law be set
aside for the minor interest represented
by capital investment. thru any support
given the rail managers in seeking to
destroy the seniority rights of the strik-
ers. They insist that labor's investment
interest cannot be violated by the man
ayers, and that this, In essence, is the
point at issue as to seniority.

open air work, preferably agriculture;
and suggestions are also made for re-

be unable to continue work because of

LOW WAGE TEACHERS
CAUSE POOR EDUCATION

New York. - One-third of the pub
lie school teachers in cities of $500 to
10000 population receive less than 81,
1000 year. and one-half of the eIe-
mentary teachers in these cities. receive
salaries of less than SI,O97 year.
This information is contained in a re-
port of the United States bureau of ed
ucation. received here by the Teachers
union of New York City, 70 Fifth Ave.
In the cities Of 10000 to $4,000 POI
!pufation, the survey shows, the pay of
teachers is slightly better-but even in
this group IS percent of the teachers
are paid less than $1,000 year. In
cities of more than 100000 popula-
ton, there are comparatively few teach
ers who receive less than ST 200.
Even these figures, however, are
high compared to the pay received by
might grade school teachers in New
York City-the teachers to whom is
entrusted the education of immigrants
and aliens newly-come to the United
States. These teachers in the elemen-
tary schools receive but $500 an ev-
ening, while the evening high school
teachers are paid $3.50. Needless to
say, the number of immigrants and
aliens in the evening high school class
es is far less than that in the evening
grade schools.
The result is that there is a steady
flow of teachers toward the evening
high schools, with the result that the
evening grade schools are coming to be
lett to the more young and inexperi-
enced instructors.

A CHALLENGE FOR PLUToCRACY

Washington. : Now that the Harding
administration knows that the United
| Mine Workers of Amerca have won
their tremendous strike, and that the
defeat d of the railroad managers in their
open shop campaign is but a mat
ter of few more days, the president
discovers that the dangers Of nation
al domination of basic industries bv La
Dor unions, must be put squarely up
to Congress.
In the opinion of Harding, domina-
ton of the basic industries by half a
hundred directors of seven New York
banks is normal state of affairs; the
public peril arises when 100000 orr
sanized wage workers challenge the
autocratic conditions laid down bv the

DIRTY CONSPIRACY OF Elk
PLOITERS BROUGHT TO BOOK
tBy The Federated Press)

New York. ~ What is regarded as
one Of the most important court yicto.-
les ever won by organized labor has
been established in "a decision here
maintaining the right Of labor union
to present counterclaim for damages
from an employer who attempts to de-
stroy it in a controversy over wages
and conditions. The right is affirmed
BY the state supreme court in suit for
injunction and damages brot by the
Rogers-Peet Co., clothing manufactur-
err. against the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America.
The effect of the decision is more
sweeping for the reason that it is based
upon common law rather than New
York law, and, therefore, will ap-
ply, according to the unions attorneys,
to such disputes as are now pending IN
other cities over similar issues.
The order dismissing the suit for in
junction and $250,000 damages was
filed after the Rogers-Peet attorneys
had signed stipulation asking that the
case be discontinued-an action equiv
alent to complete surrender. 1t follows
decision rendered fortnight ago per-
hitting the union to examine the ofti-
GERS Of the Rogers-Peet Co. and its
books, papers and documents for the
purpose Of sustaining the union charge
that the firm had unIawfully connived
and conspired to disrupt the union, and
had come into court with "unclean

WANT SIMULTANEOUS
REFERENDUM FOR
COMPLETE DISARMAMENT
(By The Federated Press)

Washington. - From the Victorian
council of the Australian peace ALI
ance, at Melbourne, has come to Wash
ington proposal that the nations Of
the world take simultaneous referen.
dun on the issue of complete dimarma-
ment. More than a thousand copies Of
the letter containing the proposal are
being sent to publicists turnout the civ
lied countries, with the purpose of pub
fishing summary Of the replies re-
ceived.
Let simultaneous referenda be held
after negotiations. says the proposal,
''by international conference or other
wise, putting before the men and wo-
men of each state this or a similarly
Iworded question:
Are you willing that this (republic,
kingdom, duchy, dominion, common
wealth, or federation, as the case may
beg of should disarm complete
ly, on condition that the other states
specified below do the same?'
Here would follow the names of the
other states, with a memorandum to
the effect that each was putting the
same question before its people at the
same times In the event Of universal
reply in the affirmative, governments
could at once abolish all preparations
for war. Should there be any negative
answers, friendly persuasion could be
brot TO bear on the people SO voting
with the object of inducing them to fall
into line with the rest of the world.
The letter admits the possible need
for a temporary police force to deal
with turbulent tribes and peoples polit-
icalIy undeyeloped, but maintains that
these elements are of small Importance.

ORGANIZED CHURCHES SUSTAIN
RAILROAD STRIKE CASE

Washington. = In a bulletin issued
here on Wednesday under the title:
Some Moral Aspects Of The Railroad
Strike, the Federal Council of Church
es, thru its commission on church and
social service, declares that TO accept
the presidents proposal and arbitrate
seniority would be virtually to arbi-
trate the right to strike, which has at
no time hitherto been called in question
under the law"
The statement analyses the whole sit
uation and indicates its deep sympa-
thy with the position of the strikers
both as to the seniority issue and as to
the defense of their organizations
against the open shop" campaign of
the past two years. 1t takes up also
the quitting of train service by mem
bers of the Big Four brotherhoods. and
the alleged rights of the strikebreakers,
indicating clear understanding Of the
armed guards, and the obvious bad
faith involved in pledges of permanent
Jobs to strikebreakers.
This bulletin aligns the evangelical
Protestant churches organization with
that of the Catholic church strongly in
support of the railroad strikers. The
Federal council holds its authority from
30,000,000 COMMITMENTS in the I'm
tied States.
