New York, Feb. 2s.-Alfred i. Lind
cav, accused of swindling society WON
en- out of nearly $l,000,0o0 in fax
stock deals, to-day confessed tina
many of the charges against him wer'
true, according to Richard G. Murphy
assistant district attorney. Lindsa,
was arrested last night at Overbrook
Pa, after having begf indicted here fol
grand larceny. He was brought hero
to-day
Lindsay accepted all blame for the
alleged transactions, Mr.. Murphy said
and declared that when he was exposed
in the newspapers, he and his wife dis
cussed the possibilities of a double sui
eide. He broke down and sobbed while
debating his alleged confession to a
stenographer in the presence Of detee-
tiyes and others in the district attor-
ney's office, according to Mr.. Murphy
Mr.. Murphy said Lindsay frankly
admitted taking money from Mrs. w.
III. Arnold and Mrs. Dorothy Atwood,
which he was unable to pay back and
also said he had received large sums
from Mrs. Lillian N. Duke, divorced
wife of Benjamin b. Duke, 'the to-
bacco king" He declared, however, ac-
cording to Mr.. Murphy, that the
amounts he is alleged TO have received
(vere grossly excessive.
Lindsay, according TO Mr.. Murphy,
said he had been paying the money
back to some of the women in weekly
instaIments. He is alleged to have
said in his confession:
Mrs. Atwood has been getting 1925
a month and | gave her Sl25 to pay her
rent and have been paying her for three
years. Miss Charlotte Nillson lam ac-

100000 from Mrs. Duke, Lindsay. ac.

my affairs" he said, according to Mr..
Murphy, "and has been wondering why

and asked me to commit suicide with

Lindsay admitted that he had trad

had lost. Mr.. Murphy declared.

JUST CAN'T SEE 1T
c. of c. Will Not Ackn0wI-
edge Labor is Law
Abiding

Pittsburg, kan While the conduct
of striking shop men in this city is
above reproach, there is mo use in
acknowledging it publicly" accord
ing to decision by the local chamber
of commerce, which was dubbed into
adopting series of resolutions
against the strike by officials of the
Kansas City Southern railway.
Upon threat of moving the rail
road shops elsewhere, the business
men called upon the strikers ito take
a broad view of the situation and
return to their work"
1t was proposed that shop men in
this city be commended for their law
but the amendment was
defeated on the ground that there is
no need to advertise this truth.
The last paragraph of the resolu-
tions provided that copies be forward
ed to the president. other officials,
civic bodies and the railroads enter
ing the city. 1t was suggested that
the list include shop men, but this
no recognition.

NOW UP TO RAIL MANAGERS
SHOP MEN WON'T BREAK STRIKE THEY HAVE WON-RAU-
ROAD LABOR BOARD, WHICH DECLARED THEM "OUT-
LAWS" CAN NOT SIT ON THEIR CASE
President Harding Changes When Suggestion For
Settling Strike Is Dspeasng Attempt
Fails Because Unsatisfactory TO Employees

Washington. President Harding's
second attempt to settle the strike of
railroad shop men has failed.
The chief executive changed posi-
tions on the seniority question. In
his first attempt he suggested that
the shop men return to work in their
former positions, and that other ques-
tions be referred to the railroad labor
board. The shop men accepted this,
but it was rejected by the rail execu-
tives.
The president then suggested that
the shop men return to work in posi-
tions assigned them and that the
seniority issue be referred to the rail
road labor board.
This changed front of the president
is satisfactory to the rail executives,
as the railroad labor board has de-
clared that the strikers are outlaws,
and has refused to erase that declar-
alton from its records Under this
condition the shop men are asked to
place their seniority rights in the
hands of a board that has already
judged them.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-08-25

An acceptance of the presidents
offer by the shop men would be equal
to saying that the strike has been de-
clared off and every man for him
self. In notifying the president of
their rejection of his second offer, the
shop men said
1--WE are, of course, unable to under
stand why, after we had accepted
your terms of agreement, you should
now request US to accept a proposal
which is directly in conflict with your
former proposed agreement.
"Your latest proposal is imprac>
teal and would create chaotic con-
dition because of the undetermined
seniority status of the employees
Seniority was not and is not now
by right an issue or dispute in this
strike. The authors of the transpor-
tation act have on many occasions
stated that there is no penalty in the
transportation act against employees
who strike when an injustice is done
through a decision of the railroad la
Dor board. Admittedly they have the
right to strike, and, therefore, they
do not forfeit their standing as rail
road employees because they strike.

COAL MINERS WIN
STRIKE OF NEARLY FIVE MONTHS ENDS IN
GREAT VICTORY FOR WORKERS IN THE
BITUMINOUS FIELDS
Adjustment of Check-O, Reduction of Wages Estab-
fishing Compulsory ArbitratiOn-Three Things
Predicted BY Anti-U -Unionsts-Failed
To Materialze

A conference will also be called
to arrange for machinery to prevent
further strikes. Another gain by the
miners is the agreement that COM
mittee of inquiry, or "fact-fnding
commission, be created to investigate
the industry and develop facts for the
benefit of all concerned.
The agreement has destroyed all
prospect of agreements based on
states and districts. 1t has also de-
stroyed all possibility of compulsory
arbitration in the mining industry
In commenting on the settlement
John l.. Lewis, president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, said:
"The settlement is an honorable
one to all concerned. 1t does not
carry any wage reduction, neither
does it barter away the rights of the
workers by commitment to arbitra-
ton. A tremendous drive has been
made against the mine workers upon
both there issues, but they have been
successfully resisted"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-08-25

Any other construction of the law
would read into the transportation
act penalty which is not contained
therein"
No striker deludes himself as to
the power behind the rail managers
on the purpose of this power to smash
the shop crafts unions if possible.
This power knows that if seniority is
lost to the shop men the railroads can
discharge at will.
This discriminating and intimidat
ing policy is defended by railroad
propagandists of the Miss Nancy
type. Although these obsequious and
fawning persons know as much of the
purpose of Wall street as they do of
Mars, they assume a patronizing air
and assure the shop men that there
is no intent to destroy your unions"
That the strike has proved a stag
gering blow to the railroads is shown
by the report of the interstate com
merce commission that st has OBJ
served with concern the progressive
deterioration of motive power upon
certain important carriers of the
country since July l, 1929, and dur
ing the present strike"

JUST THIRTY-TWO
YEARS AGO
Chief Justice
Wrote This Defense
of UniOnism

Melbourne, Australia The Labor
Call reprints an historical defense
of trade unionism written 80 years
ago by the late Chief Justice Higin-
botham. In forwarding donation
to woman to assist the wives and
families Of workers on strike. this
jurist said:
I do not think that despondency
should be allowed to damp the energy
or to divert the purpose at this, june
ture of any true unionist. who knows
how much and how long labor has
suffered for want Of union, and how
much labor has gained through union.
though still imperfect and far too
limited in its operations.
y think it is clear that recent
defeat has been caused by the want
of more complete and extended union
amongst the classes that labor and
this lesson, if it be well understood
and remembered, will prove a greater
benefit to labor than present victory.
Nor should we forget that strikes
are, and must continue for a time,
to be the only weapon in the last
resource that labor can use in wag-
ing lawful war with capital.
q share with you in the belief
and hope that time win bring peace
between those two factors of human
industry, but that time will not come
until labor shall attain, by means of
union, equal power with capital, and
shall be able to insist on terms of
honorable and lasting peace In the
meantime there must be conflict, with
all its consequences. In this conflict
individuals, for the most part, can do
little, but | think that you and your
fellow-workers in the matter Of this
bazaar are entitled to find satisfac-
ton in the thought that you have
done what you could and that what
you have done has been in the right
direction, and | do not know of any
human effort that rests upon more
solid basis than this.

COAL OWNERS
DODGE TAXES

Pottsville, Pa.-Citizens in this
vicinity are attempting to force coal
owners to pay a just tax on their
immense Schuylkill county holdings,
which amount to 100, 1000 acres. This
property is assessed at $53, 100000.
or no more than one-fourth the pro-
portional amount Of which other
property is assessed. The law pro-
vides that a taxpayer can appeal from
his assessment after he compares it
with other property. The county
commissioners print the various as
sessments. This year assessments on
coal property were not printed and
citizens asked the court to compel the
commissioners to obey the law The
court granted the request. Now the
county commissioners announce they
will appeal to the supreme court,
though they fail to state why they
use the public's money in the inter
est of the coal owners.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-08-25

Certain violations of the acts we
report to the attorney general for
appropriate legal action With con-
tinuance of existing conditions these
will be increasingly frequent"
In reply the president instructed
the commissions inspection force to
apply the law.
Striking shop men say the commits
sion is powerless to apply the law,
because of a lack of inspectors. Con-
gress has reduced the commissions
appropriation and where hundreds of
inspectors are necessary, one is doing
duty
That the equipment situation is
causing concern to the white house
is indicated by long conference be-
tween the president and some of his
technical advisers.
This, together with the McChord
letter, sustain every claim made by
the shop men. who state that the
equipment collapse also applies to air
brakes.

Cleveland-A joint conference of
bituminous coal owners and represen-
tatives of the United Mine Workers
has resulted in an agreement which
will temporarily continue present
wage rates. The settlement means a
collapse of the opposition to the mine
workers in fields controlled by the
union prior to the strike. The coal
owners that are parties to the agree
ment are from West Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Oklahoma and Washington. This
agreement takes the place of the old
four-state agreement.
The check off remains, wages have
not been reduced nor compulsory arbl-
tration established, three things anti
unionists predicted would happen.
On October End next both parties
will meet in this city to arrange for
negotiating a new agreement to be-
come effective April 1st next, when
the present agreement expires.

ENEMIES BUSY
Spreading Poisoned Pr0pa-
ganda Against Seamen's
Act

Washington.-A recent Associated
Press dispatch from Buffalo states
that a passenger line of steamships
on the great lakes will start $10,000,-
600 worth of lake shipping, "at once"
if the seamen's act is modified. The
authority for this statement is given
as "a spokesman" for A. A. Schantz,
president of the Detroit and Cleve-
land navigation company.
1t could hardly be expected that
Mr.. Schantz would stand behind the
statements made, which include the
use of certified seamen" instead of
able seamen. This means that the
new vessels, with carrying capacity
of 1000 passengers each, would be
protected not by competent seamen,
but by men who have been certified
that they are able to pull an oar in
a boat.
This would be a pleasant prospect
for women and children in a storm
on Lake Erie, for instance, when the
highest skill that seaman posses
ses is necessary to swing life boat
free from a rolling ship.
American passenger steamships
on the lakes, it is said, are forced to
carry 33 1-3 per cent more crew than
Canadian competitors" says the
spokesman"
1t will be noticed that the words
"it is said' permits the spokesman
to prove an alibi for those readers
who do not know that there is no
competition with Canadian or other
foreign vessels in the American coast
wise trade.

BLACKLIST
Would Rule if Seniority
Were to Lose, Declare
Rail Shop Men

Chicago. When the railroads OPP
pose seniority, they really aim at a
condition that will permit them to
discharge active trade unionists, de-
clare striking railroad shop men in
their latest bulletin.
ITO many newspaper readers the
strike means a fight for seniority.
That is the carriers red herring in
troduced for the purpose of obstruct-
ing the real issues. They seek to
make it appear that the seniority
rights are favors which the men
should forfeit as penalty for exer-
cising their admitted right to refuse
to work under non-acceptable condi-
tions. The fact is that seniority
rights are essential to the efficient
operation of transportation service.
"For their own good the roads wish
to retain the senior, more efficient
employees, after the strike. They talk
loudly now of protecting the new
men for the purpose of diverting at
tention from the main issues.
"They also hope to wipe out the
principle of seniority so that when it
suits their purpose they can weed out
those workers most active in the pro-
lection of rights of their fellow en-
ployes. This would punish the more
forceful workers and in
timidate others.
"These are but high spots in the
fight for decent conditions in the
transportation industry. They are
the accumulation of several years bit
ter assault on the rights of workers
i'll the hope of disrupting their organ
izations. The employees know that
only by standing together can they
withstand these attacks. They are
united as never before, and victory
is certain"

OPPOSE POSTAL
UNION

Washington-Of Officers and mem
bers of the National Federation of
Post Office Clerks are asking sena-
tors not to confirm Arch Coleman,
who is serving as postmaster of Min
neapolis. Coleman is charged with in
competency and anti-union narrow
ness. The clerks have interested SEN
ator Ladd, of North Dakota, in their
case.
One year ago Postmaster General
Hays declared that Minneapolis has
the best conducted post office in the
country" Then Postmaster Purdy
recognized the unions and called their
representatives into conference on
matters of office policy
Now the post office is disorganiz-
ed, and because he has adopted the
anti-unron policy of local corpora
tions, Coleman is openly charged
with being an errand boy for big bust
ness. Things reached climax when
he dismissed George N. Meyers, mem
Der of the Post Office Clerks Union
and president of the Trades and La
Dor Assembly. The latter body pass
ed resolution which expressed sym
pathy for striking shop men and dis
approval of President Harding and
his advisers and associates. Meyer
was not at the meeting when the
resolution was passed, but Coleman
discharged him.
