HARDING VIEWS ON
RIGHTS OF LABOR
SCORED IN REPORT
Industrial Feudalism Has
Made Way Into White
House Says Report Of
Special Committee

CINCINNATI. June 25.--Industrial
feudalism supported by political bu-
reaucracy seems to have made It's
way into the White House declared
the report today of the special poll
cy committee of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in setting forth or
ganized labors stand against the
Kansas industrial court and other
proposals for compulsory submissiSl
of labor disputes to state tribunals.
President Harding's declaration to
congfess last December, suggesting
regulation of labor unions, prompted
the committees criticism.
1T is most regrettable to note the
utterances of the president of the
United States wherein he disapproves
OF labor's reluctant but necessary re-
sort to the right to strike against in
dustrial oppression the committee
declared. 1T may be well to recall
in this connection most appropriate
utterance upon the same subject by
anoher president, Abraham Lincoln,
who said 4 am glad that system OF
labor prevails under which laborers
can strike when they want to. !"
The report was made public today
as an aftermath of the federation's S
forty second convention, which in
adiourning yesterday ordered that
unfinished committee reports should
be included in the convention pro-
ceedings. irasmuch as they were not
subject TO dispute. This action,
it was announced, was tantamount to
adoption.
For the purpose of cleaning up
these odGs and ends, the council met
here today, received the reports and
adjourned with the announcement
that further discussion of them would
be had at the councils meeting in
washington in September. Politics,
international relations and shorter
work day We're among the subjects
touched by the reports presented to
the council today in addition to that
of the soecial policy committee. The
special committee considered the
Kansas industrial court law, the Col.
orado industrial commission, compul-
sorry incorporation OF trade unions
and President Harding's suggestion
of regulation.
The committee declared in favor
of the federation's continuance with
renewed energy its fight against the
Kansas and Colorado laws, asserting
that there could be no compromise.
for the issue was one that could
not be tolerated by free men,"
Congress was subjected to criticism
by a SUPPLEMENTAL report of the leGis-
lative committee, which declared its
attitude against labor had frequent
ly been evidenced on remedial labor
legislation.

Transient Workers
Find Resting Place
In Potter's Field

HERRIN, Ills. June 25.-The un-
known dead of Herrins war went to
their graves today. Sixteen of them
were buried in the "potter's fielG''
while union men who had dug the
graves leaned on their spades, and
held their shapeless hats in work
gnarled hands.
The summer sun beat down on the
long grass of the Herrin cemetery,
the daisies and red clover, and the
singing of meadow larks mingled
with the works of the four pastors
from here who conducted the brief
service. Perhaps rs persons were
present, most of them miners who
had dug the 16 graves since dawn
today.

William Mccoy. Presbyterian, an
overseas religious worker during the
war; the Rev. Inman Lee, Baptist;
the Rev. p. r. Godfelty, Methodist,
and the Rev. S. f. Spainhower, of
the Christian church They sang the
hymn. Nearer My God, to Thee"
Though like a wanderer, the sun
gone down,
Darkness be over me. my rest a
stone"
So the four preachers sang as the
wandering 16, the unknown dead,
were buried, without tears. On the
edges of the crowd stood few girls
and women.
The caskets of the unknown, un-
wept dead, bore stamped plates of
"At Rest" No more is
recorded on the markers at the
graves heads than that each Died
June %, 1922"
The preachers spoke and prayed.
One asked for love from God, for
comfort for any persons anywhere
who might be grieving for these dead
today.
So the dead, who came to william
son county for transient job, went
to their rest - permanent residents
now, unless friends or families are
able to identify them by the records
of each body kept by the undertakers.

BIG GAIN IN
PAST 7 DAYS
Industrial Situation Is I'M
proving Steadily And
Rail Car Loading Fig
ures Are Encouraging

NEW YORK, June Notwith-
standing the uncertainties comprised
in the several disputes and the inn
panding reductions in railroad freight
rates, industry maintained its gains
during the past week. Steel mills
continued to operate at nearly rs
per cent of capacity and the prices of
steel products remained firm. Buying
for prompt shipment was stronger
than that for delivery, but this was
considered natural.
Impressive gains were shown by
the latest railroad car loading fig
ures-those for the week ending
June 10. Although coal shipments
which have been gaining still
amounted to $4,000 cars as compared
with 205.000 cars in the week before
the strike started. the volume of
other freight increased sufficiently to
bring total loadings up to 545,00O
cars.
A number OF we'll posted observers
inclined to the view that crisis in
the soft coal strike is approaching.
stocks are being drawn down and
the lower freight rates on July are
expected to stimulate demand. Press
ure for added production appeared to
be growing, favoring the view that
the decisive point in the struggle is
impending
Opinions as TO the likelihood of
railroad strike continue to be divided.
The roads still profess to regard
such an event as unlikely and 1t is
pointed out that there has been some
slowness in the balloting.
Crop prospects remained some
what uncertain. but good yield OF
wheat and sub normal cotton crop
are still probabilities. Some claims
of winter wheat deteriorating on ac-
count OF hot dry weather in the
northwest have been made and prices
have rallied about five cents above
the recent low, but the greater firm
ness is attributed to the technical
position of the market rather than to
any material change in crop pros
poets.
Reduction of the rediscount rate OF
the federal reserve bank at New
York to four oer cent basis Offered
fresh support FOR the view that no
early hardening in money rates is
likely. Rates Tor the various forms
of credit are now at their low point
of the year With reserves at high
level with the demand for accommo-
dation slight and with a moderate
revival rather than boom in pros
pect, tile reserve bank authorities
evidently anticipate no real strain on
credit facilities during the next few
months.

with the purpose of manifesting the
determination of labor to combat re-

In his speech in the reichstag today
Chancellor Wirth severely de nounced
the agitations and vituperations of
Pam Germans which had created an
atmosphere of murder in Germany.
"A state of POLITICAL bestiality pre-
vails," said the chancellor Il need

who is constantly receiving letters
announcing the intention to defile her
husbands grave. Is it surprising,

WIFE OF GOV. SMALL
SUFFERS STROKE OF
APOPLEW- MAY DIE

kANKAkEE Ills, June 25-Happi-
ness and rejoicing reverted to sorrow
and sadness in the home of Governor
Len Small today when Mrs. Small,
his wife. was stricken with apoplexy,
little hope being entertained for her
recovery.
The attack came upon her shortly
before midnight in the midst of con-
gratula tions of her friends and neigh
bors who had gathered TO welcome
Governor and Mrs. Small and their
family home from Waukegan, Ills,
where the governor was acquitted
yesterday of charge of conspiracy
to embezzle interest on state funds
while state treasurer.
Mrs. Small had not regained con-
sciousness at a late hour today
While Governor and Mrs. Small
were standing at the. doors of their
home receiving the congratulations
of friends, Mrs. Small complained of
not feeling well and started in to the
house, whe-e she collapsed.
According to friends, Mrs. Smalrs
strength was greatly taxed during
the last few weeks. although she in
sisted on going to Waukegan to be
with the governor at the close of his
trial
Doubt was expressed by those at
the Small home whether Mrs Small
would survive the night.
