we will nnd a remarkable unanimity
OF opinion among those willing to

Is II ne.ssary. in this "land Of the

which in its editorials reflects so much
credit upon the United States and It's

To u, Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Observing your editorial The
Ways Of Red Tspists" in your issue Of
even date. am constrained 20 call 20
your attention a New York case Of a
similar nature and 70 ask your assist
anes BY way Of editorial comment in
behalf Of the injured government en-
ployse.
TIE case is that Of Louis II. Eber-
lein, an employee o. the customs serv-
ice Of this port. TIE facts are:
Eberlein was United States
storekesper at the Port Of New
York. He was removed on May 26,
1910. upon charges that he was in
volved in the sugar under-weighing
frauds uncovered by Collector Loeb.
Though stoutly protesting his inno-
eenes, he was removed without a
hearing. For two years he fought
Cor hearing and was finally ae-
corded one in 1912 By Attorney Cen
srAl Wiekersham.
After a long and detailed inves-
tigA.ion the Attorney General re-
ported In writing 10 the Secretary
OF the Treasury that Eberloin was
innocent and should be reinstkted
The Surveyor Of the Port. General
Nelson II. Henry, made a similar in
yestigation and report in June, 1912.
The Treasury Department ignored
both Recommendation. President
Taft then had a further invsstlga-
tion made, and as the result thereof
issued an executive order on Deem
Der 8. 1912, reinststing Eberlein TO
his former position.
Eberlsin then demanded his back
pay, but same was denied him. He
brought suit IN the Court Of Claims
and his petition was dismissed on
the ground that the court had no
power 10 award the back pay. He
sppealed 10 the Supreme Court Of
the United States, but the decision
Of the Court Of Claims was affirmed.
The upper court intimated, however,
that the appeal for back pay should
be addressed 70 another branch Of
the government, viz. Congress
A bill was then introduced in Con-
gress by Representative Martin c.
Ansorge, Of the 2lst Congressional
New-York tribune., 1922-07-23

District Of New York. This bill is
now pending in the Sixty-ssventh
Congress before the Claims Commit
tee and bears number l0liS. Fol-
loving ts usual custom. the Claims
Committee asked the Treasury De-
psrtmcnt ior its views on the merits
Of the BILL The department reported
against the bill for the stated reason
that il might create bad precedent.
Eberlein has been advised that the
bill cannot be passed because Of the
adverse report Of the Treasury De-
rartment.
The Court Of Claims in It's opinio,
(5s CT. Cls 4G6) said;
The innocence OF the plaintiff
must also be conceded. not that II Is
by the defendants; nevertheless, the
record preeludes contrary asscr-
ten"
Tie court also said that the case was
tire first Of its kind brought 70 the at
tantion OF the court
The Supreme Court said (42 Sup. CT.
Rep. No. 2. Page l2):
"The Presidents order. while re.
citing the wrong which had been
done to the plaintiff. could have no
more effect than 20 reinstate him 20
eligibility for reappointment in the
government service"
The Taylor elfim mentioned in your
editorial also is pending before the
Claims Committee. Il also has been
reported on adversely By the depart
ment. In all fairness to government
officials II must be said that Assistant
Attorney General Albert Ottinger Of
New York wrote a personal letter TO
the chairman Of the Claims Committee
and urged action on the Taylor claim.
II is refreshing 70 find at least one
Official with strong sense OF justice
and who does not hesitate TO brush
red tape aside when the occasion de-
mands.
It is my belief that influential pa
pers like The Tribune may convince
the members Of Congress that the
sense Of justice Of the American people
will not be denied and that the cause
Of the humblest citizen is worthy Of
notice. WILLIAM F.. RUSSELL.

During thc year ie2i-'2a the operators
OF non-unlon mines reduced the wages

1917 scale Of wages while the union
mine operators had 90 continue their
high wartime wage scale. What was
the RESULT Non-union mines we're en-
abled 20 sell their product NJ a much
lower price than operators Of union
mines. which forced q large number OF
these union mines 10 smut down or
work part time. as every ton Of coal
sold in competition with the non-union
mines resulted in heavy oss for the
operator.
When n mine is shut down or works
part time, naturally the miners do not
receive Full wages; and therefore al
though they receive high wages, they
afe unable 20 aggregate for the year
enough 70 obtain a decent living. II
these union miners had accepted a re-
duetion TO the 1917 scale they would
have been able TO work full time and
their yearly wages would have amounted
10 more than what they receive under
high wages on part time.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; The article in the July 7 issue
Of The Tribune, Docs Egg Farming

IT will be read by number Of people
who contemplate raising chickens for
either profit or for the fresh eggs for
home consumption.
In the first place. "Experimenter"
states he started in May. 1917, with
two hens and two settings Of eggs.
Taxing the usual number Of eggs TO
setting, say fifteen, his chicks would
have hatched in three weeks. As he
never had more than twenty-five fowls

il that he succeeded in raising these
twenty-five from the thirty eggs;
which was doing very we'll for novice
The twenty-five chicks would be seven
months old IN December, when the
average pullet starts 10 la, even
though they did lay at six months,
