 State Bankrupt, and Can't Pay for
 Prosecution.
 The state is bankrupt, he said, ane | without funds to defray the costs o1 these trials removed 300 miles from l the place where the indictments were brought, and where the witnesses re- l side.
 Association of John T. Porterfeld prosecuting attorney of Jefferson county, with the case-done upon the ] order of Judge Woods week ago does not change it's aspects, Keeney contended, and pointing out that the "coal lawyers" are still present in their capacity as Special prosecu- tors"
 Keeney's petition demanded that w R Thurmond, president of the Logan Coal Operators Association, and Robert Scott, an alleged deputy sheriff of Logan county, be required to appear and testify in writing as to what money has been contributed by the coal operators for the "prosecu- ton" of these cases.
 Thurmond testified at the trial of William Blizzard last spring that his OI OISdHlZdllOH udu CO1tlIOutSd P1 D. 900 at that time for this purpose Scott is understood to be a former sheriff of Pike county, Kentucky, op- posite Mingo county, imported to Jeff ferson county by the Logan operators to handle matters for them.
 The petition arraigns the deputy sheriff system in Logan county, and the payment of the salaries of many deputies by the coal operators
 The petition asked specifically that the coal interests, named as defend ants, be restrained from either di- rectly or indirectly contributing or extending any money under the pres- ent- arrangement for the prosecution of Keeney. In presenting this mo- tio, Mr. Van Fleet said that the de- fense did not seek to restrain proper prosecution, but did seek to compel the state to assume charge of it's own processes, and remove them from the hands of the coal interests.
 C. W. Osenton, identified with the prosecution in the previous cases has not been present at Keeney's trial. George Williams, of Beckley, who has handled the witnesses outside of the court room, suddenly appeared at the bar with other attorneys for the prosecution"
 The move of Keeney and his attor- neys has caused confusion and near panic among the attorneys for the prosecution" and for the coal inter ests on the ground Political inter ests in Charleston are understood to be greatly disturbed over the sudden turn of matters in the trials here.

TEXTILE WORKERS OUT.

New York, Nov. 1o.-In referring to a wage strike of textile workers employed at Charlotte, N. C., Presi- dent McMahon, of the United Textile Workers. said:
 No northern 'agitator' was present to encourage this walkout, so the company will be at a loss to place the blame when making public statements. We know the cause of the trouble, not only in this mill, but in every mill in the south. The whole trouble in the cotton mills of the south, as we'll as the north, is that the workers have remained passive too long under low wage and long hour conditions.
 Capitalists are investing their money in the mills of the south be- cause of the great dividends paid. These dividends are paid by whom? by the blood and the lives of the un- fortunate 3oo,ooo who toll and sweat in these hell holes to leke out mis- erable existence" ...-.....>

JUDGE COMES TO
 AID OF REACTION

Chicago, Nov 1o.-The new state constitution, backed by the plunder- bund of this state, is urged by spe- cial committee of which Judge Carter of the state supreme court is chair man. The constitution IS most vicious, declares Illinois organized labor, which is appealing for its defeat on December I2 next. The attempt of plunderbund to sanctify this reaction ary measure by having a member of the state supreme court plead it's cause is used by the workers to show the lengths reaction will go.
 The workers say that if the pro- posed constitution is adopted the judiciary will be the rulers of Illinois. The grants of power extended to the courts under the new act are far greater than ever suggested in any other American state and even oreat- CT than any judicial power exercised in any country in the world since the middle ages. .-

Crushing Blow Dealt Mine Owners

 Are Miners Homes

Johnstown, Penn, Nov. 1o- Charges of striking miners against the Berwind White Coal Company have been confirmed by testimony given our committed" said David
 Hirshfeld, chairman of the New York city committee that was appointed by Mayor Hylan to investigate condi- tions under which the coal for New
 York city's transportation system is mined
 Somerset county is controlled l bodily and politically by a coal cor poration of which E. J. Berwind is the moving power" said Mr. Hirsh- field. "The same E. J. Berwind is chairman Of the board of directors of the Interboro Rapid Transit Com pany of New York and is director of the Pennsylvania railroad system, which -hauls the coal from the mines"
 In supporting his claim that coal should not be bought from coal own CTS who do not give the miners a fair living and a square deal," MT. Hirshfeld said:
 "The great Berwind- White interests bodies and souls to build up for them selves an industrial autocracy. The committee listened to stories of hard ships endured by the miners and their families since April 6, when the men. could no longer endure the sting of the corporation lash. &
 I've have seen in the tents, in the hen GOODS, and in the stables where the miners and their families sought shelter after having been evicted from their homes by the coal and iron po- lice, hungry babies and women whose feet were bare and bleeding and whose limbs were thin1y clad
 Scores of these persons, poverty stricken and unable to go through the coming winter unless help is given them, poured out such tales of suf- fering and mistreatment as would melt any heart except that in the stony bosom of coal baron"

THE PALACE.

There are at least three features on
 the Palace bill opening Monday that are entiteld to the distinction of
 headline rating. One of these is D. Apo1lon, known as the mandolin wizard" This artists playing of the string instrument has brought him
 wide vaudeville fame and incidentally
 big salary figure. The act has the very unusual title of "Bi-BaBo" and consists in addition to the remarkable playnig of MT. Apollon several pleas ingly arranged song and dance ideas. With the instrumental star in this act are Reymona, Emily Fitzgerald and Pavlow, trio of right clever enter tainers
 George Moore, who Is the second of the bills, trio of feature acts, is vaudevi11ian of standing who never fails to give an excellent account of himself. His teammates are Margaret Ouinby and Marion Gould and the trio presents a combination of song. dance and bright batter which they
 call "A Little of This and That"
 Billy Shone and Louise Squire have
 the whiz-bang idea of how a vaude-
 vile act should be put over and put
 it into practical use in their new con ceit, "Ain't She Nice."."
 I dIdCe duulcICCS are que 10 see some dancing that reaches the degree bordering on amazement in the act of Lighte1le and Fant The big half of this act is Billy Lightell who holds a place among the very best dancers vaudeville can produce Plenty of fun and foot action will find place in this skit.
 Birdie Kramer with her catchy little | songs and that beaming personality which makes her thoroughly likable, | and Potter and Gamble in their series of acrobatic dances form the duo of | acts completing the Palace bill for l Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Clara Kimball Young in Enter l Madame" has been selected as the | Palace screen attraction for Monday, | Tuesday and Wednesday. The pres ence of this brilliant star adds an un- deniable attraction to the coming bill. | The complete change of attractions on Thursday brings Dave Schooler | and Company at the head of an array l of supreme acts to the Palace. The principal screen feature of this bill | will present the noted English beauty | Lady Diana Manners in "The Glori- | ous Adventure" This is the famous | prisma co1ored production of whiih | so much has been said and read.

The Railroads" Labor Board now denies the right of the workers to receive a living wage. In other words, it does not believe that the twenty-five million wage earners should live!
 If the Labor Board were real frank 1t would make it's decision read like this: "To H. with the working people! Let them starve to death" That is really what the decision means. r..
 Even extremists like Pres ident Harding and Judge Taft have stated that the workers should not only receive a living wage but a Saving wage" They're for the workers especially at election time.
 But here Is an autocratic gov ernmental institution, establish ed by law which declares that the workers shall receive "just and reasonable wage" coming out against a living wage. This board denies the right of the laborers who do the physical work required to keep this great nation running prosperously sufficient food to keep them

 Marne, the miners, the railroad shop men, the granite cutters and the needle workers shouted, You shall not pass!' American organization have gone far enough; you shall not passr -
 Big business, high finance and their representatives did not like it, and they don't like it. The idea! That big business and high finance shall not control everything in the lives of all the people. They don't like it bit. So their satellites, their hire lings, have come to the front to try to circumvent the movements for which labor stands, such as attempts to put teeth in the laws, as President Harding said when he appeared be- fore Congress and urged Congress to make the decisions of the Railway La bor Board compulsory.
 Imagine labor men having to obey the decisions of board made up of three representatives of the railroads, three so-called representatives of the public and three labor men. A board a man employed by the sailroads was not entitled to living wage.
 Then they try another scheme. There is a man at the head of the de- partment where justice is dispensed. Dispensed with, I mean. Like thief in the night, he goes to Chicago, and there appears before United States judge, whose appointment he secured only a few weeks before, and from him obtains an injunction violating every right to which free citizens are entitled, violating every principle of the Magma Charta, the bill of rights and the constitution.
 My vote has always been given for the men and the movement I only care if they stand for the rights of the people. If I fail it is my regret, and not my fault nor negligence"

physically fit to do the work. Surely the men who toll are the ones who more than anyone else require their full share of vitamins.
 The railroad workers ask for living wage. Any fair-minded tribunal would give them such wage under the terms of the law. Surely, the words Just" and Reasonable" in the law can be interpreted to mean at. least a ' decent living.
 There is some question as to the formula for arriving at a. living wage. President Jewell and other labor leaders definite ly showed the Labor Board what it costs to keep a family according to the American standard of living. The Main tenance of Way workers, who receive $563.o4 year, know that it is not enough to main tain a family in se1f-respect. They care not what formula is used to determine the wages. As essential workers in one of the most essential industries transportation-they demand to live.

Why ChautauQud Tickets are s.

The Swathmore Chautauqua Associa-
ton, chartered under the laws of Penn
sylvanla is classified as a corporation OF
the first class educational institution
Under It's charter no pecuniary profit can
accrue to any person by reason Of his
connection with the association. II is
because Of its non-profit making char
acter, and because of its function as an
educational institution that the Federal
Government has exempted the asso-
citation from collecting the war tax on
admission tickets.
Every year the profits which are
made, if any, must be returned TO
Chautauqua to improve the equipment
and talent; the charter does not allow
such profits to be held as a sinking fund
When there are losses the deficit is
borne by those who underwrite Chau-
tauqua as whole, just like the local
Guarantors guarantee the Association
locally.
Last year the Association lost an
average Of $500, for every town visited
or total of $35, 900. This was caused
by high transportation charges and an
increase in the cost of equipment and
talent.
To guard against a repetition of this
loss, and still maintain high standards
ii was necessary to increase the amount
OF the guarantee for each town. The
contract for this years Chautauqua,
which was signed by every guarantor
provided for this increase and stipulated
that the price of season tickets would
be raised to 50.
The question was whether to keep
the price the same and increase the
number Of tickets to be sold, or to in
crease the price of the tickets to 50 and
have the number of tickets to be sold
remain practically the same as in for
mer years The latter course was
adopted, because it was ascertained that
If the same price were maintained as
in former years, it would require that
about 100 additional tickets would have
to be sold, This would have meant
that the number of tickets to be sold
would be Increased from 400 to 500. In
town of this size it was determined
that it would have been very difficult,
if not impossible, to dispose Of 100 ad-
ditional tickets.
