A college education is not right

TO JAIL
Editor is Willing to Go To
Voice Protest Against
New Royalty

New York it is not an abridg-
ment of free press to put an editor
in Jail for expressing his opinion of
strikebreakers as a class, then it is
difficult to define the abridgment of a
free press" says G. A. Sanders, edi-
tor of the Memphis Press, in a special
telegram to the New York World
Editor Sanders is charged with
contempt of court because he wrote
fippant editorial on Federal Judge
Ross, who sentenced Editor Cohen, of
the Memphis Labor Review, to six
months in Jail and to pay a fine of
| 81 900 because he referred to strike
breakers in terms distasteful to Judge
Ross.
IF the courts can put editors in jail
for expressing an opinion and not
violate the constitution in so doing
then certainly they could also jail
men for expressing opinions orally
said Mr.. Sanders. "By simply defn-
ing, through an injunction, what it is
desired people should not say, any
judge could make it crime to ex
press his opinion on any subject.

COAL INDUSTRY
WILL BE PR0BED

Washington. - Before adjournment
congress passed law creating fact
finding commission for the coal indus
try, to consist of seven members, to
be appointed by the president. While
the law does not specify the makeup
of the commission, it is understood
that neither mine workers or coal own
ers will be appointed. In his recent
message to congress, the president
favored ignoring both employer and
employed.
The miners favor representation,
but the coal owners seem willing to
depend on so-called "neutrals," or, as
one A. F. of L. representative said:
"The coal owners will depend on
smooth lawyers to bring seven men
who know nothing about the coal in
dustry to their way of thinking"
Congressman London, a member of
the labor group, attempted to have
the bill amended to permit the United
Mine Workers to recommend two
members of the commission to the
president, and give organized coal
owners the same privilege.
The labor member pleaded that
workers be represented on this com
mission by practical miners, but he
was defeated by vote of $50 to 106.
In urging his amendment Congress-
man London declared that nothing
more idiotic or more subversive to
democracy can be suggested than. the
prohibition of a strike by law"

In 1919, five years later, the num-

Secretary of Labor Davis, in
statement of public congratulatlon on
the settlement of the railroad and coal
mining strikes, adds:
"Our representatives in New En-
gland have advised me that in the

ments are rapidly enabling the mills
to resume operations. These three
great industrial disputes have been
the only hindrances to the nation IN
its rapid recovery from the industrial
depression which we faced a year ago.
With them out of the way, progress
toward prosperity will be swift and
sure.
To-day there are fewer strikes in
America than there have been for
wears. The commissioners of concil-
iation of the department of labor are
using their good offices in only thirty
four pending industrial disputes in
volving some 10000 men. Of these
cases strikes have been withheld IN
fourteen pending our mediatory
efforts.
"The American workman faces a
period of plentiful employment. We
have put back to work the millions
of idle employees who were seeking
a lob a year ago. We have succeeded
| in avoiding a drastic reduction IN the
high wages which obtained before the
period of depression, and we have

FORD'S PROTEST

1t is certain thing that Henry
Ford's shutting down of his big plants
for week in protest of the high coal
prices didn't increase the price of
coal nor did his action lay we'll with
the operators or the coal price boost
ers. The price OF coal to manufactur-
ers was way up. The operators said
Ford's announcement that he would
shut down was all bluff The shut
down came Then came the cry of the
price boosters of sympathy" for the
poor employees who would be out en-
ployment and lose much in wages,
thinking in this manner to detract
the minds of the public from the high
cost of coal This didn't take and
the price of coal to manufacturers
took a big drop. The reduction will
also finally reach the small consumer
as the cry of scarcity of coal is also
falling fiat, and the people are not
falling over each other to place orders
for their winters supply. Henry
Ford has maintained all along that
there is plenty of coal and appearances
seem to be bearing him out in his
statements All in all Henry Ford's
shutdown didn't do much harm so
far as the public in general is concern

4 CHANCE FoR CONGRESS.

The progress made by the special ses-
sion of congress is not very promising
for any great amountFof work to be ac-
compIishcd by this final. regular session.
The very fact that the end of the term is
so near makes constructive legislation
a more forlorn hope. But the situation
offers the lawmakers a great oppor-
tunity.
The men whose terms expire and those
who are to go on as members of the next
congress would serve their country not
ably and themselves individually and
promote the popularity of congress as
an institution if, in the next four
months, they would handle the problems
before them in a spirit commensurate
with their Importance and conduct them
selves like men whose honest aim is to
earn by work accomplished the salaries
they accept.
Nothing could go further to quiet in
dustriaI and social unrest and to further
prosperity in this country than definite
evidence of industry. stability and high
purpose instead of Political maneuyering
