Practice Is Condemned
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the E0ltOf OF Inc star:
May I protest through your COL
umns against what seems to be the
growing practice of the Rapid Tran
sit Company busses to stop at street
intersections to unload passengers.
This sort of thing is going to induce
ill-feeling in the public. The busses
are supposed to relieve the traffic
situation. II. instead of doing SO,
they make it more hazardous for the
pedestrian. Mr.. Pedestrian is going
to make known his Indignation.
We have traffic regulations. which
prohibit autos from stopping on in
tersections. A great many drivers
don't know of them. Worse, none of
the traffic policemen seem to know
that there are such, regulations.
Hence, either take a chance or wait
until the wee sma hours to get home.

THE LANTERN
BY DON MARQUIS.
AS Wind and Smoke.

I cannot change the world; what is
will be.
The songs Of poets are as wind and
smoke;
Tonight star will shine. an owl
will hoot,
And clouds will sail indifferently to
sea.
Though Shakespeare's lyrics charm
the ear Of time,
Not all his golden words can match
the rose;
The spring will follow winters bar
rem trail,
Whether a Dante plows or plies a
rhyme
The pine-proud hills that pierce the
purple skies,
The soft, still lakes that hear the
forest dance,
Remain to mock the minstrers empty
lay
Deluded fool who deems that he is
wise!

Big Railway Strike
Is Anticipated
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-A nation wide strike of
all groups of railroad workers save
the train and engine service brother
hoods becomes more likely as reports
of fresh wage cuts at the hands of
the U. S. railroad labor board for all
classes of railroad workers except the
Big Four brotherhoods become public
1t is practically certain that no
group of rail employees will be spared
by the board in the decisions now be-
ing handed down and a united front
in protest against the cuts is ex-
pected to be perfected at conference
of executives of the 16 STANDARD"
railway unions called by E. H. Fitz-
gerald, grand president of the Brother
hood of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, to meet in Cincinnati Tuesday
on the eve of the A. F. of l.. con-
vention.
Should the strike be called it will
probably take place July l when the
pay cut becomes effective. In labor
circles long fight, lasting perhaps
until autumn, is anticipated. In
creasing traffic and the failure of the
roads to maintain more than mini
mum equipment during the slack
period are relied upon to hasten
favorable settlement.

IMPORTANT MATTER TO COME
UP ON JUNE 12
Measures Will Probably Be Taken
Towards Securing Financial
Backing to Aid Miners in
Winning Present Coal
Strike
(By Federated Press)

Washington Winning the coal
strike and safeguarding the right Of
unionization-the fundamental prn-
ciple which the operators and the
financial powers behind them are at
tacking-is to be the first and most
important issue before the annual
convention Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which will convene in
Cincinnati on June IL.
The life of every trade union, and
the economic security Of everey wage
worke" on the continent of X rth
America will be affected by the out
come Of this strike. The federation
faces that fact, and knows that unless
the millions of members OF the fed
Grafton do something practical 10 as
sist the miners to win, the whole labor
movement will suffer as result of
the delayed settlement. That is why
the convention is expected to vote,
unanrc ously, to create Il committee
to solicit financial aid for the mine
strikers in districts where the need
for help may later become acute. At
least 100000 of the membership of
the A. F. of l.. are now at work, and
hence ere in a position to contribute.
Sympathy has already been offered;
what the strikers will need in June
and July will be a li+tle money with
which to buy food and clothing.
Careful calculation shows that Vile
the coal production in the non-union
mines is now between l8,C0U,0 ,00U and
10000 900 tons per month, Il lc con-
sumo. on is 35,000000 end is still
rising. AS the stocks on hand go
down, panic among industrial con-
sumers of coal tends to increase, and
the rate of exhaustion Of the stocks
on hand increases. BY the middle OF
July the country will have no coal on
hI,t, and viii be calling for at least
1O,GJG,COO tons per month more than
all the non-union mines, working at
utmost capacity, can furnish. The
United Mine Workers of America,
who have gone through many hard
stnIrges in the past, are inC
through June and July triumphantly,
knowing that the bitumino Is and an.
thIacite operators alike will have to
surrender, by the end or July, to the
country's insistence that it be NJ:

1t is because the strikers know how
the fight is going that their report
Of the A. F. of l.. convention will be
one Of the features Of postwar in.
dustrial history,
Morale among the non-union men
who went on strike with the union,
and have since joined the union, is
reported high. Central and western
Pennsylvania reports show that it is
the union men who were without work
for months prior to the strike who
be the first to need help. For them
the Cincinnati conventions practical
sympathy will have the most imme-
diate significance. And the union
miners in Pennsylvania are less in
need than the union miners in certain
parts of West Virginia. Their spokes-
men will attend the labor conclave, and
will ask for munitions for the front
trenches"

mot GUILTY"
SAYS JURY IN MINERS TRIAL
FOR TREASON
VIM. Blizzard, Sub District President,
Selected as First of Fifty-TwO
Victims of the Frame Up is
Declared Innocent

Charles Town, w. Va.-The jury in
the treason trial of William Blizzard
rendered a verdict of not guilty, clear
ing the first of 120 West Virginia
union miners on trial for alleged Of
fenses in the civil war Of August and
September, 1921, during the march
into Logan county.
Although freed on the treason
charge, which was also brought
against So of his union brothers,
Blizzard, who is a subdistrict presi-
dent of the miners, is still under in
dictment for murder and conspiracy.
The miners, who have enjoyed the
sympathy and confidence of the towns
people ever since they were taken
from the train handcuffed and leg
ironed five weeks ago, are confident
that the other cases will result in
acquittals also. The prosecution had
selected Blizzard and the treason
charge as a test, specifying the exact
acts on which they intended to convict.
A feature of the trial was the testi-
mony by U. S. army officers to the
pacific influence of Blizzard over the
marching miners. Another important
witness was a commercial aviator
who testified that the coal operators
paid him for his work, which included
dropping of bombs from his airplane,
one of which gassed nurse going to
attend to wounded miners. Sheriff
Don Chain and President Thormund
of the operators association both
testified that the sheriff's deputies
were in the pay of the operators.
Having failed to make Blizzard the
goat it is now proposed to make an
example of preacher, and Rev. j.
f. Wilburne, Baptist, will be tried
June II, and murder is the charge.
After that Frank Keeney, presidents,
District No. II, and Fred Mooney,
secretary, are scheduled for trial, ac-
cording to present plans of the pro-
secution.
These facts developed during an
effort to have bail fixed for eight
prisoners in Jail here in connection
with the case. The prosecutor de-
clared that the pracher and his fellow
prisoners were present at the killing
of John Gore and his two deputies at
Blair Mountain.

Open Shop Drive On
At Kansas City
(By Federated Press)

Kansas City, Mo.-Following close
ly the lead of the building contractors,
the Kansas City Employers Assn.
has launched drive for the "open
shop" The association has mailed
letters to local employers asking them
to join a general campaign for the
non-union shop in all Kansas City in
dustries.
"The builders association has re-
fused to sign working agreements
and wage scales with the building
crafts as per their demands for a
renewal of peak war wages for an
other year." says the letter, signed
by H. H. Anderson, secretary of the
employers organization.
"It is a fact" the letter continues,
"that, through our quiet methods of
handling labor difficulties, our city
has been almost free of industrial
strife for several years. But do not
let yourself be deceived. Let us not
sleep upon our achievements, the open
shop principle must be firmly estab-
lished."
Local trade unionists threaten to
institute an investigation into the ac-
tivities of employers organizations.
Laborites claim they have evidence
that local contractors have been re-
peatedly warned that their supplies
of building material would be shut off
unless they ceased to employ union
workmen. Employers in other in
dustries have been otherwise coerced
in an effort to force them into line
with the drive to crush trade union
ism in Kansas City,"
