heavy articles, or overworhng. Donot
let her overstudy.
If she complains of headache, pains in
back orlower limbs, or if you notice a
slowness of thought, nervousness or ir-
ritability on the part of your daughter,
give her careful attention.

HERE'S TO THE MAN WHOSE
wIFE'S OUT OF TOWN.

OF all the insidiouS.
Temptations invidious,
Devised by the Devil.
For pulling men down.
There's none more delusive,
Seductive, abusive.
Than the snare TO a man
when his wife's out of town.
He feels such delightfulness,
Such stay out all nightfulness,
And sure TO get tighfulness,
I own 1t with pain,
A sort OF bachelor rakishness,
what-win -you-take ishness.
It's hard TO explain. ~
His wife may be beautiful,
Tender and dutiful,
1t is not her absence.
That causes delight,
But the cursed opportunity.
The baleful immunity,
That scatters his scruples
As day scatters night.

LIVING WAGE DENIED
BY RAIL LABOR BOARD IN DECISION AGAINST
MAINTENANCE-OF-WAYE EMPLOYEES IN
THEIR DEMAND FOR INCREASE
To Give Workers Enough to Live Decently Would Bank
rupt the Railroads, Board Holds, and Awards
But Two Cents Hour Additional

Chicago.-The railroad labor board
has declared that living wage is "a
bit of melifiuous phraseology, well
calculated to deceive the unthinking I"
The board says that if a living wage
were granted transportation en-
ployes it would bankrupt the rail-
roads.
The decision was made in connec-
tion with the demand of maintenance
of-way employees to raise minimum
rates of % and 35 cents an hour.
The board gave these workers an ad-
ditional cents an hour mainly be-
cause rates in private industry justi-
fed it.
A. O. Wharton, labor member of
the board, dissented from the ruling
that the living wage is "an elusive
thing" He asserted that rates of pay
in private industries of similar char
acter should be made of secondary
consideration, and the prime factor to
be considered is whether rates fixed
were just and reasonable, which
meant an adequate and living wage
under the transportation act.
He maintained that the board
should not consider private industries
as basis for setting living wage
Added labor costs, he said, would be

TENDER TO PROFITEERS
ATTORNEY GENERAL ASSURES "WAR LEECHES" THEY HAVE
NOTHING TO FEAR FROM HIS OFFICE ONLY WHEN
CASE AGAINST THEM WILL "STAND THE ACID TEST"
However, Head Uncle Sans Legal
For Wage Workers Enforced Through nunctons

Attorney General Daugherty indi-
Gates tender regard for the feelings
of profteers. He assures them, ac-
cording to the public press, that he
will not prosecute them until it is
established absolutely on the face of
the records" that the case against
them will "stand the acid test"
This means that the profteers need
nor fear prosecution unless they have
bungled their affairs so badly that
the department of justice (Which the
attorney general calls the govern
ment) will be compelled to act.
The profteer is guilty of the most
contemplate offense that can be COM
mitted against people involved in
war He even lacks the nerve often
shown by the man who commits trea-
son, the most heinous offense against
nation.
The profteers, however, need have
no fear from the department of JUS
tice, if they present any sort of a
bluff defense, and if they employ at
torneys who are versed in legal de
vices and delays that sharp practice
knows so we'll.
The profteers are told by the man
who is sworn to uphold the law and
administer justice that he will only
prosecute where the case can "stand
the acid test"-where the offense is
so glaring that trickery, evasion and
delay is useless.
Mr.. Daugherty's attitude toward
the profiteers is in sharp contrast to
his attitude toward railroad shop men.
With the profiteers the attorney gen
eral talks like counsel for the de-
fense. He says his department
(Which he persists in calling the gov
ernment) must. be fair to itself and
even to those whom it would brand

WAS RAILWAY
WRECK A BURNS
FRAME-UP ?

Gary, Ind.-The grand jury of the
county has refused to indict John
Petrowski and Joseph Popovich in
connection with the Michigan Cen
trail wreck last August, and the two
men have been released from Jail.
This is the wreck that was treated
SO sensationally by the public press,
and occurred just at the time when
Daugherty was developing a mob
spirit to justify his injunction he was
then preparing.
The attorney for the accused men
presented evidence of terrific third
degree that they and Charles Usells
were subjected to by the police to
force them to make false confessions.
The attorney insisted that these ar
rests were a frame-up to discredit the
striking shop men and that the
wreck was caused by broken-down
engine
1t is predicted that Uselhs will soon
be released The only testimony
against him is the statement of
government stool pigeon who claims
he heard Usellis declare that the train
should be wrecked
No publicity has been given the re-
lease of thes men, while the public
press and anti-unionists continue to
quote the wreck as proof that strik
ing shop men are lawless.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-11-10

absorbed in large part by. increased
efficiency of the men and by mana
gerial ability.
The majority opinion attacked the
budget method of determining what
should be a living wage, and made
this attempt to create the impression
that advocates of a living wage would
hold the workers to that minimum:
"That it would be wise and practical
to undertake to establish an arbitrary
standard of living for several mil
lions of persons is not apparent That
the desires and requirements of all
men are equal and alike is not cor
rect, and that any committee of ex-
perts could set up an average living
standard upon which a wage scale
could be practically based has not
been demonstrated anywhere"
The majority decision means that
the railroad labor board merely regis
ters what is the prevailing wage
standard on the outside, regardless of
living conditions or the effect on rail
road employees. If trust can sue
ceed in smashing unionism and there
by grind its employees to the lowest
mark, this will be standard for the
railroad labor board, according to the
decision.

as crooks and profteers.
The profteer took advantage of the
nation when it was at war. The rail-
road shop men asked for a living
wage when the nation is at peace.
The attorney general is fearful lest
some protiteer will be wrongfully
punished, but he aided the railroad
managers and the anti-union press in
developing a mob spirit which was
the groundwork for an illegal iniunc-
ton, secured by false affdavits and
stealth
Mr.. Daugherty is very solicitous
about his profiteering friends who
filched the government in its hour of
need. This spiri is absent, how
ever, when he harangues the country
on the civil war he averted and the
near revolution he sidetracked.
Not particle of evidence has he
made public to support this libel of
100000 wage workers, who have re-
peatedly called upon him to cease
congratulations and give them bill
of particulars
But not Daugherty! He will insist
on facts when it comes to prosecut-
ing profteers, who are advised to take
advantage of every kink in the law.
When it comes to prosecuting wage
workers, and smashing their strike
for a living wage, all Daugherty
needs is bunch of affdavits from
the head of his spy department
Burns, 'the great detective" whose
jury fixing is matter of record, as
is former Attorney General Wicker
shams condemnation of his methods
1t is truly remarkable situation
The man who stole from his country
and furnished defective material when
it was involved in a great war is given
the most solicitous consideration,
while the constitutional rights of
workers are taken from him by meth
DDS that dare not be subjected to cold
analysis.

PITIABLE CONDITIONS
OF MINERS FAMILIES IN BERWIND-WHTTE COM
PANY COAL FIELDS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
BY COMMITTEE NAMED TO IN
VESTIGATE SITUATION
Rockefeer Could End Strike in One Night, Instead of
Which He Sheds Crocodile Tears and Offers
Sympathy" Says Committees Chairman

Windber, Pa.-During hearing by
a committee appointed by Mayor Hy-
lar. of New York, to investigate the
cause for miners on strike in Somer-
set county, David Hirschfield, chair
man of the committee, said
"Mr. Rockefeller is shedding croco-
die tears and pouring out sympathy
upon the poor miners of Somerset
county. He has given them his moral
support, whereas if he cared to he
could end this strike over night. His
money and influence could accomplish
this without much trouble"
Mr.. Rockefeller has previously
stated that he is only small stock
helder in the Consolidated Coal Com
pany, which, together with the Ber-
wind White Company, operates in this
field.
Stories of illegal acts by coal and
iron police employed by the company
of false weights by which the miners
were cheated out of their earnings, of
evictions rom company-owned
houses, of company stores where the
men are compelled to deal and of
many other conditions were told the
committee in the United Mine Work
ers' Union hall, which the miners say
is the only free spot in Windber.
Women in ragged garments and
carrying babies joined with their hus-
bands in telling the committee that
the strike started last April when the
Berwind- White Company cut wages
and it was impossible for the miners
to earn sufficient money to buy food
and clothing for their families Mrs.
Harry Beal, young mother with six
children, told the committee that
every two weeks her husband drew
81 in wages, the remainder of the
wages being dedNcted for groceries
and other articles at the company
store
In answer to the question what she
did with the dollar, the witness said
she usually gave it to the doctor
"a few weeks after l had my last
child" she said, 1--WE were evicted
from the company house"
where have you been living since, .
she was asked
''In wash house, 10 feet square"

COAL. DISTRIBUTION
PLACED IN CHARGE
OF DC. COMMISSION
Secretary Hoover Gives
Authority to Handle
Situation.

The distribution OF coal in the
District is to be placed in the hands
of the District Commissioners. A
letter, similar to that received by
the governors of the various States.
was sent to the Commissioners yes
terday by Herbert Hoover. Secre-
tary of Commerce.
When the Commissioners meet
this week, they will take full
charge of the situation. The first
step probably will be the appoint
ment of a fuel administrator for
the District, 1t was said.
In the letter sent the Commits
sioners by Secretary Hoover, they
were given authority to handle the
situation in whatever way they de-
sired. This means that they either
may act Directly may appoint a
commission, or appoint one man to
direct the distribution. The Com
missioners favor a fuel director,
1t is said.
The anthracite situation in the
District Is critical. according to in
formation available on the supplies
on hand. The supply of anthracite
coal is almost exhausted. The only
hard coal now available is a small
supply of pea coal.
According to Secretary Robert L.
Lewis. of the Coal Merchants Board
of Trade. the supply of bituminous
coal is fair" Unless the supply
of soft coal is entirely cut off,
there will be enough of this COM
modify.
Should the situation become more
critical. the rationing Of coal will
be such that the National and Dis
trict governments will be first sup
piled. The public utilities will next
be taken care of.
