Coal companies that were plain

asked the United States supreme

The lower courts held that the
United Mine Workers were liable

The supreme court held that while

What Labor Has Said About
Injunctions.
The American Federation of La
Dor, in its conventions, has repeat
edly declared that where unlawful
injunctions are issued labor will
treat those injunctions ''as if they
did not exist" which means that
workers will go down exercising their
lawful and constitutional rights, re-
fusing to recognize a czar on the
OCACu as Sup upCI1OI W tHc
and the law.
Mr.. Daugherty doubtless knows
about this declaration. He doubtless
knows by now also that his Chicago
injunction is not going to turn mill
lions Of American men into enslaved
cravens and that railroads cannot be
run by injunctions.
The whole thing has been an il
lustration of how desperate and how
ridiculous an administration can be.

A GROWING COUNTRY,

Consternation comes to those who cry that the mad rush of life is killing people off rapidly. that the size of families Is shrinking because of the unwillingness of the modern woman to have children and that this good old country of ours is going to the dogs generally. For figures just given out at Washington show the death rate for 1921 is lower than was that of 1920 and that the birth rate for 1921 was higher than the birth rate of the year before. Moreover there were twice as many births as deaths last year and fewer of the children died than there were children who died in the year previous Alto gether statistics show this is a grow ing country; the mad rush to live and get rich is going on merrily without leaving larger funeral train, and the modern woman is pursuing her ener- getic way without bringing the threat ened race suicide.

BANKERS PERSONAL SIDE,

The bankers of New York city were
 actually startled out of their habitual
 calm attitude at the response of bankers throughout the country 10 call of the recent convention held in that city. They expected about 1000 10 attend; over il, ,ooo responded, But 1t was more than the numbers which moved the New York bankers to en- thusiasm-and when bankers are moved to enthusiasm something quite out of the common has happened, When talking privately they allow the reflection Of that enthusiasm tq, ap- pear on their faces, They are con- vinced that the general confidence of the bankers from all over the country will be the inspiration Of confidence on the part Of the people because that confidence possesses nothing of the artificial, has no false note, but is founded on the actual situation in the United States which augurs well for the years Immediately ahead of business and industry. The response to the governments offer of the re- funding loan is but cumulative evil dence of the prevalence of that feel ing of confidence.

The statistics are but what might have been expected, Never have there been so many organizations at work to prolong life and prevent death. Never have little babies received such care. Many of the mistaken precau- tons of the past have been done away with and new, sensible rules of treatment substituted Science has been at work, and the teachings of science recognized. With modern in- vention has come a willingness on the part Of the people to believe in new things, new thought With these new thoughts, new methods of treatment of diseases and greater cooperation among workers has come new life. No, the country is not going to the dogs the country is doing very well, thank you. and will continue along the same lines of health, happiness and progress for some time to come.

The United Community corporation is city affair. It raises the funds considered necessary for the success full maintenance of welfare organiza- tions in whole or in part The amount needed each year for this purpose is decided upon annually and one drive carried on to raise such funds. If, for any reason, the United Community orporationreceives funds is planned, the natural result is that the sum set as the amount to be less. Having received certain sum it is able to reduce the sum necessary to be raised by the drive by just that amount Every person in this city is interested in seeing that the amount needed by the United Community coronation annually is raised.
 Tomorrow there will be held con cert in Fox's theater the proceeds of which will be given to the United Community corporation. The amount realized from this concert, therefore, will reduce, by just that amount, the quota to be set when the United Con- munity corporation drive is planned. Every person in this city, therefore, should be interested in seeing that the concert Is a success
 Quite aside from this aspect the people of New Britain will enjoy this concert. It is local affair given by the New Britain Musical club which has in the past furnished the music lovers of the city with great pleasure.

CONVENTION OR PRIMARIES?

Theoretically candidates TOT 'ht nomination for offices should no' have to pay for distributing liter ature" in furtherance Of thelr can didacv or for hiring automohiles to take them to the polls. No one, the oretically should have to pay for these things Theoretically the Not- CTS should be interested enough to look up individual candidates records and should be interested enough to go to the polls themselves and vote for the best man. This argument ap- niles to local and national matters alike. But in local matters the the ory is less applicable than in national matters.
 We are not living in theoretical world. When it comes to politics we confront a condition not theory. The practical result in local affairs, as distinguished in measure from na- tional affairs, of the primary system
 
 of selecting party candidates for office is that the candidates them selves pay the bulk of the money used to distribute literature and carry voters to the polls" This prac- tical fact tends to keep the man of moderate means from running for an office which he is eminently well qualified to fill and which he might want to fill for the most worthy of motives. The practical situation keeps out of the contests the men, often, we want in those contests
 If there is one need in local affairs today it is that men of ability and honesty interest themselves in local politics. If. in order to obtain nom- ination for an office, man is com pelled to give a large amount of money to campaign expenses he will often refuse to enter the race because of that sordid side of the matter. Even the man with plenty of money may refuse to humiliate himself by contributing large sum, feeling that by so doing he would be giving a false impression of his mo- tive and of the value of that office to him.
 Entirely aside from the question of the motives of those said to be back of the move of the Democrats locally to change the convention system to that of the primary system, or the motive of those opposing the pri- mary, 1t would seem that better re- suits would be obtained were the con- vention plan to be retained until such time when the ideal situation sug- gested shall exist and the voters be- come such perfect citizens that they will not have to be flooded with liter ature or carried to the polls to vote for the best man. And when such time comes we will probably be writ ing as the date-line of our corre- spondence: "The Millennium"

SHIPS AND LIQUOR.

fTdCtlCdlly all tNinhlilS people agree upon one thing in connection with the Daugherty decision as tc liquor on ships, American and foreign That point of agreement is that 1t is well the ships of the United States government shall not carry liquor Complex legal questions, the most seroius of which involve international law, enter into the discussion of whether or not Daugherty's opinion as to foreign ships and privately owned ships bound for the high and free-seas, is proper.
 But starting with this one matter upon which all agree namely that liquor must be kept off the govern ment ships, what was the administra : ton to do after it had reached that conclusion? This is not an apology for the decision. It is merely a sug-
 gestion as 10 the process of reasoning
 which may we'll have entered into the forming of that opinion which may
 have been influenced by considera-
 tions other than legal.
 No liquor on T.. S. ships. Granted,
 If it is held that liquor may be car
 ried on foreign ships stopping here,
 or on privately owned ships bound for
 foreign ports or coming from foreign
 ports, then the governments shipping would suffer. Matters would run along about as they are, with no pro-
 tests from foreign governments. In
 fact foreign shipping would be glad
 to have the American rival thus
 handicapped. The falling off in the business of the governments ships and American owned ships would be rather slow, perhaps, and no great feeling wouldsbe stirred. There would rise no emergency calling for a modi- tication of the Volstead law. Sup pose, however, included in that opinion which would hold properly that there should be no liuuor on |. s. ships, there should be a holding that liquor should not be carried on any ships at all after they had come into our waters. Then, of course there would rise an immediate emer- The ct kn All shipping would be on the same basis. The public sentiment of this country would undoubtedly be against getting us into international disputes which would follow the sezing by the United States of foreign vessels carry ing liquor in accordance with their laws and, in some cases, as required by their laws. There would rise a demand here that the Volstead law be modified to obviate any trouble caused by the Daugherty opinion. There would come a modification of that law in order to meet inter- national usage of the past and allow foreign ships to carry liquor. But, if such a modification were made, 1t would seem unwise to gratuitously grant foreigners something which the opinion of the Attorney General had denied domestic ship owners. There fore why not include in such modifi- cation a provision which would allow U. s. government ships to have liouor, or arrange it in some way so that there would be no handicap on gov ernment shipping?
 It is significant that the news of the day suggests President Harding will likely ask Congress Immediately to modify the Vostead law.
