B. OF L.E. CRITICISE
CORONADO DECISION
Urge Labor Organizations to
Secure Remedial Laws

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 28.-Or-
ganized labor should answer recent
decisions of the supreme court with
a campaign to secure enactment of
a law which will protect it from
suits for damages by employees in
stead of denouncing the laws, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
stated in bulletin issued today
The Coronado decision, holding
that labor unions are sueable for
damages is challenge to the work
ers to seek legislative protection for
their unions similar to that given la
Dor organizations in Great Britain,
the bulletin contends.
"The Coronado decision opens a
wide gateway for all sorts of unwar-
ranted attacks upon labor organiza-
tions. states the bulletin.
''It invites unscrupulous employers
engaged in lockout or strike, to
provoke damage to their property, as
the plaintiffs in this case did, and
then tie up the funds of the labor
union by suit for damages against
the union.
"Chief Justice Taft cites numerous
congressional enactments expressly
exempting labor unions from excise
taxes, in order to draw the deduction
that such recognition of the legality
of unions also implies that they may
be used and their funds attached in
claims arising from acts committed
by their members. Yet this compari-
son fails entirely when applied to
common law partnerships and other
such organizations which are admit
tedly legal but which are not sueable.
for the wrongful acts of their in
dividual members.
"Such decisions as the Coronado
case are doing more to discredit the
law and the courts in the eyes of the
working people than all the so-called
radical agitators in the country"

Winona, Miss, June 24.-Saturday
afternoon, the home friends and

duty, fighting the Republicans for
legislation that will help the people,
particularly on appropriations for
Muscle Shoals and for the acceptance
of Ford's bid for this great plant,
which would do more than any other
one thing to develop the South. The
following resolution was adopted en-
dorsing his candidacy:
Whereas, Hon. T. U. Sisson is be-
ing detained in Washington looking
after important legislation affecting
the peoples interests in this district,
state and nation, it appears at this
time he will not be able to make more
than partial campaign of the district
in the interest of his candidacy for
reelection and discuss with his con-
stituents his work at the national cap
ital.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
citizens of Montgomery County and
neighbors of Hon. T. U. Sisson, COM
mend his candidacy to the people of
the Fourth Congressional District, and
pledge our active support to accom-
plish his election"
The following officers were elect

is represented by member
of the executive committee:

Mr.. Sisson will only be able to make

matters adjust themselves so that
he can leave Washington or Congress

His friends are urged to take over
his campaign and see that it is proper

INCOME TAX FACTS

erage family man. Under the rev
enue act Of 1921 a married per-
son, living with wife OF husband
whose net income for 1921 was
$4,000 or less, Is allowed a per-
sonal exemption of $1,000. I'm
der the revenue act of 1918 the
exemption allowed a married
person was $4,000, regardless of
the amount of net income.
The normal tax rate is the
same, 4 per cent on the firstS4,-
600 Of net income above the ex-
emptions, and 8 per cent on the
remaining net income. Given his
personal exemption of $4,000,
plus $500 for each dependent,

THREE FEET OF SUNSHINE

In one Of the laboratories in
Washington they have a great
sun glass that measures three
feet across. It's like the "burn-
ing glasses" we used to treasure
when we were boys, only much
larger.
This great glass gathers the
rays of the sun that strike it's
flat surface and focuses them on
a single point in space few feet
below. That single spot is hotter
than a blow torch. 1t will melt
through steel as easily as a red
hot needle burns through paper.
This terrific heat it can't be
measured for it melts all instru-
ments-is just three feet of or
binary sunshine, concentrated
on a single point. Scattered, these
rays are harly felt, possibly
just pleasantly warm-concen-
trated they melt adamant.
The same principle applies to
human endeavor. Scattered a
mans energies do not amount to
much. Oncee they are all focused
on the task in hand seemingly
tremendous difficulties melt like
snow on a hot stone.
Get the habit of concentrating
when you start to do a thing
throw on all the steam you have
and focus every energy on the
task in hand. Remember that
three feet of sunshine concen-
trated will burn through any
thing.-Roger Babson.

Legion has very properly determin-
ed that it shall not and will not in
ject itself into controversies arising
from economic disputes between en-
ployer and employe organizations.
That this position is the correct one
is borne out by the fact that the
American Legion is made up of men
from all walks of life-union men
men unaffliated with unions, pro-
fessional men, business men and
statesmen, and hence, of course, it
would be highly improper for the
Legion to take a position of parti-
zanship in industrial controversies
1t is the height of sOphistry to at
tack the American Legion because
some member of the Legion may en-
gage himself I'M industrial contro-
versies, whether his act is partisan
to the trades union movement or
partiaan to the organizations of the
employers antagonistic to organized
labor. No organization is free from
imperfeCtion. There are members
of the Chamber of Comerce who
have denounced the policies of this
organization and have withdrawn
from it. This does not mean that
the act of such member of the
Chamber of Comerce represents the
sentiment and policy of the organ
ization. BY the same token there
are instances where members affil-
lated with International labor un-
ions have withdrawn from their or
the employer in defeating the efforts
of the union in which they formerly
held membership. This does not
mean that the union is responsible
FOR such an act.
1t is therefore, unreasonable to
expect that there will not he mem
bers of the American Legion who
will, in periods of industrial contro-
versy, take sides as in their judg-
ment the situation warrants, but
this does not mean that the Ameri-
can Legion approves of such a
courae or will follow the act of an
individual member or members of
the organization The use of an act
If an individual of an organization,
hat might on it's face raise con-
troversial question, as a measure of
attacking an organization is both
unfair and cowardly. The American
Legion is free institution made up
of men who have proved their alleg-
lance tc and love for the cause of
freedom and democracy at home and
abroad; and in following such a
course 1t will be in harmony with
the high ideals that have animated
the American Federation of Labor
in the pursuance of similar course
of Americanism.
There isl no good reason for the
existence of any other than the most
cordial, friendly relationship be-
tween the American Legion and the
American Federation Of Labor and
any effort to endanger antagonism
between them will fail because of
it's lack of merit and reason.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
THE LEGION'S ATTITUDE
TOWARD LABOR

By George L. Berry, National Vice
Commander of the American Le-
gion and President of the Inter
national Printing Pressman and
Assistants Union of North Amer
ica.
1t is because of the permanency,
the stability and the potential i'm
portance osf The American Legion
as an American institution, and like
wise because of the far reaching
economic and humanitarian advant"
ages accruing to the workers of the
country through the instrumental
ty of the American Federation OF
Labor, that certain interests and in
dividuals have undertaken the en-
fOrcement of a program calculated
to estrange these two organizations
and to attack both of them.
BY an analysis of the Legislative
program of the American Legion
and the American Federation of La
Dor it will be observed that there is
little, if any difference in the aspir-
ations of these two organizations
from that point of view. That this
is true is best evidenced by the fact
that the legislative committees OF
the two organizations have been and
are now working in harmony at

DRILLING AT METEOR MINE

The drilling at the Meteor mine

have given out the idea that the
drill had encountered portions of
the meteor. The facts are that the
drill is now working it's way down
ward at a depth of approximately
1850 feet. Frequently a very hard
spot is found in the highly silicious
formation in which the drill is now
working. Assays of the slush show
the presence of the meteoric iron
and a trace of the nickel with which
meteoric iron is usually accompan-
led. There is no positive evidence,
however, that the meteor has been
located, although the indications are
that the drill is now entering the
