EDITORIAL OPINION

of collective bargaining" A con-
tract that is not equally binding on
both parties is not a contract. If
both sides do not acknowledge, hold
sacred and keep their words, then
the whole plan of collective bar
gaining" must go to pieces.
The testimony of Samuel Gompers
before the Lockwood committee in
New York throws a st tong light into
one OF the dark recesses of unionism
1t appears that even admittedly con-
servative and veteran Gompers be-
lieves that labor is greater than. the
state; that it should be greater than
the law. and that in its own opinion
It is outside and above the law.
Shown long list of abuses caused
and engineered by labor. the presi-
dent of the American Federation
OF Labor admitted them TO be de
cidely wrong" or quite unwarrant-
ed or 'far-fetched." He insists,
however, that unions and the men
who belong to unions cannot be held
responsible and that no attempt
must be made TO regulate them.
He excuses the Brindells and Sam
Parks of unionism. He upholds
unions that defy labor contracts and
break their own signed and sealed
agreements.
Gompers believes in law for the
employer, but not for the workers
He insists there should be no law 20
govern human beings in industrial
strife. but believes in curbing the
employers because, in the Gompers
opinion, the employer is an "organ-
ization dealing with material things"
Gompers would let labor go free
of restraint to hammer the employer
and the public, but would society
and the public no chance or right 10
defend themselves. He resents the
hint of any outside supervision of
the finances OF labor unions, even
when legal Interference would pre-
vent labor's chief from looting the
union cash boxes.

HARDING AND COAL STRIKE.

From the New York Herald.
Beyond doubt the country will
feel great relief that the President
of the United States has taken a
hand in the nationwide coal strike.
with his gift of working out big
problems quietly but effectively,
President Harding will arouse gen
eral hope that the way out can be
found and the right way out.
The coal strike has simply drift
ed along for three months. But this
drifting could not go on much
longer. The time has come for ac-
tion looking toward a resumption
of production in the union fields.
II the Harding administration can
get the mine owners and the mine
workers together for a settlement
on a fair basis, the country will be
glad to have the matter accommo-
dated in that way This would mean
not only the avoidance of violent
and criminal strife but probably ex-
pedition in starting the flow of coal
from the mine to the consumer.
The fact which both the oper-
ators and the men must now look
sduarely in the face is that the
work of producing more coal must
begin soon anyhow. and is going to
begin. When a considerable part of
he winter supply of both anthra-
cite and bitumiDous needs to be |
shipped in summer, 1t is now only a
question of days until the resump- |
ion of coal mining must be brought |
about one way or another. II the |
1ey TO the situation is not offered |
1y the President the matter will be
to a head nevertheless
The American people are not go
ng to be without coal in the bin
when the mines of the country
lbound with coal.

FATHER JUDGES AUTOMOBILE
CRASHED INTO WALL

Rev. Mathew j. Judge. diocesan di-
rector of Catholic charities, and Miss
Marguerite T. Boylan, executive secre-
tary both of Hartford. narrowly escap-
ed serious injury at noon Saturday on
Broad street, near Morgan street in
New London when the REQ car in which
they were driving was smashed in
head-on collision against a stone wall
along the roadside. The accident, it Is
charged resulted from action of Nit
ehell Pawlicki of Chesterfield, who was
driving Scripps-Booth car along
Broad street in the same direction as
Father Judges car was moving. Paw
licki wished to pass Father Judges car
and cut out to the left and speeded up
his machine.
To avoid a collision of the two cars
Father Judge turned quickly to the right
and both cars left the highway and ran
up against a stone wall along the road
side. The hoods of both cars crashed
against the stone wall and flattened out.
Neither Father Judge nor Miss Boylan
were thrown out of their machine and
Pawlicki and an unnamed man who was
riding in the Scripps-Booth car also es-
capped injury. Both of the cars were
hopelessly crumpled, however, and had
to be taken to garages.
