COAL DECISION
IS DENOUNCED
BY L'FOLLETTE
Wisconsin Senator Says
Court Out of Way to
Call Men Murderers.

Washington, June 7.-Declaring that
nado coal case was the most ominous
in what it f~oreshadows for the future
Of union labor in this country" Sen
ator LaFollette, republican, Wisconsin,
today issued a statement in which he
criticized the court. The opinion, he
stated, was Significant because Of
what the court says on questions not
involved in the case, rather than be-
cause Of anything that it actually de-
cided."
After reviewing the conditions which
led up to and prevailed during the
strike in the Arkansas coal mines in
1914, upon which the case was based,
the Wisconsin senator declared "a six
line decision was all that was required
TO dispose Of the case on its merits,
for the supreme court was reluctantly
obliged to admit the facts as ] have
stated" the reference being to his as
sertion that there is not and never
was any case against the defendants
in the federal court"
The supreme court. however, Sen
ataOr LaFollette stated, went out of
its way through % pages to berate the
defendants and to characterize them as
outlaws and murderers, and the chief
justice wound up his opinion by saying:
The circumstances are such as to
awaken a regret that in our view of
the federal jurisdiction we cannot af-
firm the Judgment"
The court also went out of its way.
the senator said, ito change the law
as it has existed in the United States
since the beginning of the government.
that unincorporated associations such
as are involved here could not be sued
as an entity"
Reviewing what it stated was the
authority of the court upon what il
based that finding. Senator LaFollette
charged that "Chief Justice Taft neg. |
lected to state that as the result of the
Taft-Vale case the British parliament
passed a statute which cut up that
decision o. and branch and made it
impossible for an English court to ever
render a similar decision" +!
\ doubt our supreme court feels |
behind the bulwark of a written
constitution, the meaning Of which that
court has a%rrogated to itself after the
function of finally determining" the
senator concluded.

ment have been made through the de-
partment of labor and this department
or both, but thus far the suggestions
have been without result"
Citing that the price of bituminous
coal rose to So a ton in 1920, Mr..
Hoover said:
II am in hopes that the action taken
may save the public from a recurrence
of such profiteering as developed in
that panic period"
Statistics asked by the Walsh reso-
luton on consumption and production
of bituminous coal were furnished by
Secretary Hoover, who said the con-
sumption between April l and June 4
was estimated at $1,000, 600 tons. On
June 4. the letter stated, it was esti-
mated that there was on hand a supply
of 100000 tons, with possibly TO-
100000 tons more in transit.
Estimate of production since the
began, Mr.. Hoover said. came
from the railways, the government be-
ing without more definite information
of its own.
A committee investigation will be
taken under consideration. according to
Walsh. who also planned to
introduce another resolution to call
upon Secretary Hoover for similar in
regarding the anthracite sit
uation as that secured on the bitumi-
nous.

Washington, June 7.-Secretary Hoover, in a report We'd
nesday, disclosed that he and Secretary Davis had sought to
present several suggestions which it had been hoped would lead
to a settlement of the coal strike, but so far their efforts had
been without result.
The commerce secretary's statement which was the first

struggle between the mine workers and operators, was contain
ed in a response to the resolution of Senator Walsh, democrat,
Massachusetts,, adopted by the senate several days ago, calling
for information regarding the coal situation.
Replying to the inquiry in the Walsh resolution as to what
action, if any, government agencies have taken to terminate the
STRIKE" Mr.. Hoover said:
