MINE OWNERS HOLD FACTS.

!. NINE OWNERS HOLD FACTS.
Here are some facts about coal
mining. Also something about the
patriotism" of mine owners. Con-
gresham Meyer London said these
things in the house the other day:
eve have probably 10000 mines
and some 1000 owners. They en-
ploy 100000 workers and employ
them irregularly: During the last 80
years the average number Of days
of employment was Ella, so that the
public was ON a strike against the
miners more than 80 days each
year. When the public is not on a
strike against the miners and when
the miners are not on strike, the
coal operators and the host of para
sites, the middlemen between the
worker in the mine and i the con-
sumner, are on strike against the
whole world. ..
There; is great deal of talk
about the high rates Of wages paid
to the miners, but, as you all know,
the breadwinner is not interested
in the rate of wages or percentages
or statistics: he is interested in his
total earning capacity. Judged by
the number of days the miner was
actually employed, his earning ca
ipacity during his best season was
not sufficient to maintain. a proper
standard Of living. The condition Id

FREEDOM IN RUSSIA.

FREEDOM IN RUSSIA.
In the communique issued by
the Soviet representatives to &C.
noa concerning the recent papal
memorandum reference is made to
freedom of religious thought in
Russia that is of interest to Amer
leans.
ANY citizen can profess any
religion he chooses or he can pro-
TESS none," says the communique.
"Professing one religion rather
than another, or processing no re-
ligion, gives rise to no juridical
distinction. Freedom of worship
is guaranteed to all unless they
disturb public order or cause at
tacks against the rights o. citi-
zens."
The nub of the question of RE-
ligious freedom is in the last SEN
tence above quoted. "Freedom Of
worship is guaranteed to all UNI
less they disturb public order or
cause attacks against the rights
of citizens - =
That does not necessarily weak
en- the guarantee. It is limited
only to the caprice or prejudice OF
Soviet officials as to the sort OF
worship that may cause breach
of the peace or of public order, or
the effect such worship may have
on others.
The restrictions the Bolshevists
have placed on freedom of wor-
ship, are strikingly similar to the
restrictions Americans occasionally
place on freedom of speech, and
to which every friend of Soviet
Russia in this country has made
protest.
When the I. w. w. started
free speech" campaigns on the
street corners of Seattle and other
western cities, and were arrested
for obstructing the traffic, which
is breach of the peace, they set
up a militant protest and inciden-
tally "passed the hat" for a COL
lection to test their cases in the
courts. They never could recog-
nize the necessity in America for
any restriction of any sort on
freedom of speech. They went
mad with their campaign, violated
most of the regulations for the
preservation of public order, and
drove city councils and peace Of
ficers to extreme measures, which
have affected the rights of other
liberty-loving, and law-respecting
citizens. Governments first duty
is to preserve order. When over
jealous enthusiasts in any cause
turn the use of free speech into
abuse they will always find ex-
tremists on the other side anxious
and ready to place further limita-
tons upon it, and to sometimes
deny it entirely. ...i
Soviet Russia is no exception.
Let an anti-Bolshevist speak
against the existing order and it
is prison, exile or death for him.
England is credited with having
fewer restrictions. on free speech
than any other country. Her do
minions are less tolerant. The
United States government is
founded upon the rock of civil and
religious liberty. Freedom of
speech is a guarantee given under
the Bill of Rights. 1t was placed
there for use and not for abuse.
No. laws can be enacted against it,
but every person is held account
able for his own acts and utter
ances. His right of = freedom ia
not abridged; 1t only ends where
the rights Of others begin. The
sooner we observe this truth the
better it will be for everybody,

Sinnost said:
"Tks testimony Of Fox concerning
the intimidation of bus drivers by the
firm of Sinnott Canty is unqualified

for the very simple reason that Mr..
Sinnott or Mr.. Canty never solicited or
obtained bus insurance from any of
the bus owners or operators, nor did
any one else solicit bus insurance at
the request of or for the firm of Sim
mott & Canty.
"The facts in the matter are that
Sinnott e. Canty have handled as an
agency for an independent broker,
Frederick A. Grein, a total Of forty
five bus policies, brought to their Of
flee by that broker, solely on his own
initiative In the usual legitimate man

"Both Mr.. Sinnott and the broker,
Mr.. Grcin, have already testified under
oath to these facts before the Transit
Commission, but the constructions
placed on their testimony by the press
and the counsel to the Transit Com

the method and manner of putting

Says 3-Mile Limit Ruling
Enables Smugglers to Rum
In Liquor From Bahamas

E. C. Yellowley, prohibition director,
and considered most determined Of all
enforcement officials, is about to give
his personal attention to reports Of big
bribe offers to prohibition agents made
by rum smugglers on Lake Champlain
and the Canadian border generally, he
announced yesterday. 1t is said that
rich bootleg interests are making every
effort to corrupt the border enforce
ment forces. Among the agents who
have received these bribe offers are
M. j. c. Phillips, l.. G. Dawson, George
lie Fair and L. E. Gaffany.
Our biggest problem now is snug
Cling" said Mr.. Yellowley. "The new
three -mile-limit ruling has made it
possible for smugglers to run much
liquor into this port from the Bahia
mas. The amount of liquor in ships
outside the harbor has been greatly
exaggerated. At present prices I do
not believe it would be worth million
dollars"
Mr.. Yellowley agreed that the city
has been flooded with liquor from rum
running ships since the three-mile
limit was fixed by the State Depart
ment. He admitted he had knowledge
Of big English syndicate that had an
enormous cache planted in the city Tor
the Christmas trade.

Mr. Yellowley indicated that liquor
Withdrawals, both fraudulent and ap-
proved, had decreased greatly under
the administration Of former Director
"These releases fell off 10000 gal
Ions a month, after Mr.. Day assumed
charge" he said. "Mcst of the liquor
here now is smuggled."
He said that he had visited the

that he had been questioned regarding
any cases which night be under in
vestigation by the Federal grand jury.

parade was in memory of the early

The Smith plurality of a19,876 in
this city was overcome by the Miller
plurality, outside the city, Of 393,941,
leaving Miller the winner by 74,o66.
1921 Victory Cited
Judge Andrews in 1921, with
mayoralty election in New York bring
ing out large vote, beat Scudder for
the Court of Appeals, by q vote of
1,146,337 to 1,0s1,l85, plurality for
Andrews of 65,152, in decidedly "off
year" up the state.
The politicians estimate that Miller
and Smith will divide about $50 600
between them. in this city. In order
for Smith to get 100000 plurality in
the city he will have to beat Miller
vote. He did not reach this rate in
1920. The registration in this city
this year is about 100000 less than
two years ago. On this reduced regis.
tration the Republicans do not see how
Smith can poll much more than 100000
plurality
The Republican managers do not con
slider that the Socialist vote this year
will affect the general result one way
or the other. Cassidy, the Socialist
candidate for Governor, will have the
support of the Farmer-Laborites, who
last time voted for Dudley Field Ma
lone. Malone polled 69,908 votes two
years ago, while Cannon, the Socialist
candidate for Governor, polled 169,804.
Cannon ran about 10000 votes behind
Debs, but his loss was largely Malone's
gain.
Hope to Repeat Hylan Total
The hope of the Smith men this year
rests in their theory that Smith will
get approximately the full Hyian vote
of last year, when the 5-cent fare issue
was acute, and was monopolized by
Hyian. The transit issue again is acute,
but this time the Democrats are largely
on the defensive on account of the fact
that Smith has not met Governor Mil
ler's challenge to say wherein the
Transit Commission has failed to make
good, and the further fact that it was
Nixon, who. advocated an increased
fare.
Coupled with this is the fact THAI
Independent Democrats all over the
state are favorable to Miller because
of his administrative record. The Re-
publicans hold to the conviction that
Miller is stronger with the people than
he was two years ago, while Smith is
weaker. For these and other reasons
they are not sensihly Jared by the
noisy claims of the Smith managers
that a Smith landslide is impending
in this city, and that it will be SO
great as to overwhelm the Miller vote
outside the city.
