Harding contradicts Lorss

President Harding himself IS on rec
ord IN direct contradiction OF what
Mr.. Loree has announced, namely the
formation Of unions by company di-
rection. The president in his December
address TO Congress stated the case as
follows;
The right Of labor 10 organize Is
tust as fundamental and necessary as
Is the right OF capital to organize. The
right OF abor 70 negotiate. to deal with
rnd solve its particular problems In an
.ryanized way. through It's chosen
agents IS tust as essential as Is the
right o. capital TO organize. 20 maintain
corporations. to limit the liabilities OF
stockholders"
With this principle It's most con-
eerred in the handling OF the strike sit
uat,ons are IN entire agreement ana
that why anything which attempts TO
take avav a fundamental right Of la
bnr Is rrowned upon as mistaken tactics
Indeed the contention OF many union
leaders IN private Is that the supposed
issues Of wages and working conditions
would present very little dttncNlty or
settlement II Il were not for the fact
that baxically the present industrial
crisis Il being prolonged in an enort 70
break up the influence and power OF the
uninns a circumstance which has been
back IN the minds OF the railroad exc
ru.Iyes ever since the roads were
turned over TO their owners by the gov
ernnant. II has been at the bottom OF
the trouble not only in the rail- but the
coal strikes In fact IN the coal situ-
alton the operators have Insisted that
thew would beat the unions ~ the gov
eminent would furnish protection 70
ytr.ke breakers. This protection by fed.
eral and state troops is being furnished
while a test IS being made OF the sound
ness Of the operators contention. For
- coal production doesn't Increase soon
the aid OF union men VIII have 70 be
invoked through Some device either OF
rora-rnent conference or meditation.
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1922-07-26

At the headquarters of the American
Federation OF Labor II was pointed out
that the history OF industrial waretare
proved the tendency on the part or
strike breakers 70 vanish after strike
Is settled Usually they go back 10
other fields OF employment or find their
new work unsuitable. But one thing
labor officials said was unquestioned.
namely tha, when strike tS over the
men who have been out do not desert
the unions but many uon-union men
Join the ranks.
Irrespective OF the outcome OF tho
effort 20 form company unions with
strike breakers as a nucleus. the broad
question OF what the attitude OF the
hundreds OF thousands Of union men
will be when they do get back to work
has 10 De solved before II can be de
termlned whether the company unions
will win the membership OF the return
ing strikers or become a minority to
be used by the roads as rival 70 the
ether union organizations.

workmsn's Rights Upheld !

The truth r. the federal courts have
upheld the right OF workmen TO be re-
presented by men OF their own choosing
and without coercion or restriction on
the part Of the employers An election
which the Pennsylvania attempted 70
hold 10 choose representative for the
workmen was declared void by the 1.
:, labor board and the courts now hare
upheld the right or the labor board to
decide who Is the legitimate representa-
tive Of the employees.
Unfortunately the labor board ITSELF
has injected a complication in attempt
ing TO protect strike breakers In the
present railroad crisis. The board de-
rlared that II the men now at work
formed near unions they would be rec
oeuized. This OF course does not mean
that strikers who eventually return 10
work will be deprived OF the right 70
be represented by the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor or any other organization
OF their own making rather than the
conpany's though TO be sure such an
Interpretation OF the labor boards invi-
tation TO form new unions was widely
distributed before being denied.

ALL IN READINESS
FOR COAL STRIKE

New York, Mar. 30.-The hush
of idleness seemed today to be al
ready descending on the unioniz-
ed coal industry Of the nation,
and the anthracite miners and op-
orators subcommittee on wage
contract negotiations abandoned
all hope of halting the strike set
for April l and entrenched them
selves for a long struggle over the
conference table.
Strike notices have been post
ed in both the bituminous and
anthracite fields, Phillip Murray,
vice president of the United Mine
Workers of America, announced.
Union miners $4,000 strong, he
said, will lay down their tools at
midnight tomorrow when the
present working contract with the
operators will expire.
While expressing a hope for
speedy negotiation of a new con-
tract for the anthracite workers,
neither miners nor operators
would predict today that such an
agreement would be reached be-
fore the nation began to feel the
pinch of a coal shortage.

In replying to the contention
Of the Oregon Short Line that the

of Saving One

Chicago, March 30.-Josefa and
Rosa Black, the "Siamese twins"
died at hospital here today at
2:37. Josefa's death occurred
first and was followed in a few
seconds by the death of her sis
ter. Physicians had declared early
in the night that in the event OF
the death of one Of the sisters the
other would die inasmuch as their
brother, Frank Black, had re-
fused to permit an operation
which would separate their bodies.
The twins had been in a hos
pital ten days. Josefa was i'll
with yellow jaundice which was
followed by pneumonia. Shortly
before her death Rosa was af-
flicted with bronchitis.
Following the refusal of the
brother to authorize the operation,
Dr. b. ii. Breakstone, chief of the
surgical staff of the hospital, de-
clare this morning that it would

set of his speech In which he stat
ed that the advertising and Co
operative marketing methods EN-
ployed by California agricultur-
lists were responsible for that
states present prosperity.
1T has been extremely difficult
ty to market products in rural
communities because the farmer
has had no money. California
shows no signs of business depres-
sion. Los Angeles is building
more buildings than the city of

Eastern marchants prefer Cali

ucts because they are more widely
advertised, and some have gone
so far as to state that they will
not handle anything but nation
ally advertised goods"
In speaking OF conditions in the

belt was being developed, but that

SECOND BEST IN
BATTLE Of FISTS

San Francisco, March 30
Harry Leon Wilson, nationally
known author and playwright and
Theodore Criley, artist, fought a
duel last Saturday according to a
story printed in the San Francisco
Examiner today.
1t was fought in sheltered
glen near Carmel, artist colony,
70 miles south of here on the Pa
cific coast, and at daylight. The
weapons were fists, encased in
riding gloves and backed, in ' =
son S case, with weight of sp
ally trained bone and mus
CriIey won the contest.
Feud Long Standing
According to the Examiner,
feud was of long standing, arisi
from a quarrel after New Yea
festivity. Criley said he was
tackled In letters which cal {
throught the mails and by me :
senger, but that he made no {
forts to meet Wilson to discuss IT,
A challenge was issued, the
story runs. Wilson said he would
bring two seconds and suggested
his opponent be similarly provid-
ed, but Criley declined to bring
friends into 1t. Wilson suggested
soft riding gloves worn over fists
otherwise quite hard.
Trade Blow for Blow
Criley accepted the challenge.
He appeared alone and spoke no
word until the end of the duel.
Wilson paced off a space the size
of ring. Old English rules were
approved, providing that knock
down constituted a round and for
intervals of three minutes be-
tween rounds.
There was little sparring. The
men stood chest to chest and
traded blow for blow. After three
minutes of battle, Wilson went
down.
The second round was shorter.
Wilson went down again. Five
rounds were fought, according to
witnesses.
At last Wilson stayed down.
"You win," he said "but don 7
think l am through with you. I've
Just begun
81 am always at your service
replied Criley.
