COOPERATIVE MOTION
PICTURE STUDIO AND
THEATRE ARE FOUNDED

Following our announcement in a
recent issue of the cooperative thea
tire successfully established in Seattle
comes the founding of a cooperative
motion picture studio in Hollywood,
the movie capital near Los Angeles.
The re Pictures Corporation, which
owns the newest and most modern
studio for the production of screen
plays in the southern California city,
is to be conducted on a cooperative
basis so that all creative factors in
the making of the picture play are to
share in the profits and returns of
the business. Directors, actors, writ
cipating in this cooperative enter
prise which is under the direction of
T. A. Powers, an experienced and
successful film producer. Mr.. Powers
sees in it remarkable opportunity
not merely to improve the quality of
motion picture films, but also to more
justly distribute the earnings.
Cooperative motion picture thea
tres are now in successful operation
in Newmannstown, Pa, and Benld,
Staunton and New Adams, Ill. In the
latter town the manager of the local
cooperative store raised $4,000 cash
and a similar amount by means of
loan to open first class motion pic
ture theatre, which is already paying
sufficient return to cover all charges
and pay off the indebtedness. As soon
as this is done, the earnings of the
enterprise will be rebated to the Gus
toners the same as in the case of the
cooperative store.

ANTI-UNI0N LAW
MAKERS OVERLOOK
PET BUGAB0O

fBy A. F. Of l. News Seryiee.l
hington.-Congress has amend
ed the federal reserve act By this
change in reference to appointments
on the federal reserve board:
The president shall have due re-
gard to a fair representation of the
financial, agricultural, industrial and
commercial interests"
Before this amendment, the law
read:
"That he (the president) shall have
due regard to the industrial and conf
mercial interests"
While the amendment was before
the house it was repeatedly stated
that the change could have no effect
on the president.
Congressman McFadden, chairman
of the house banking and currency
committee, stated that the amendment
had no value, but its passage would
do no harm, as he understood the
president intended to appoint farm
er on the board.
Congressman Stevenson, another
member of. the banking committee,
stated that the amendment lis not
worth a cent, and that the president
can appoint a farmer without the
amendment.
The bill was approved, however, by
men who crack their threats in pro-
test against "un-American class legis-
lation" when labor asks for remedial
laws or representation on government
tai boards. These lawmakers now
not only ignore former claims but
vote for an act that they acknowledge
is of no value, and whose only pur-
pose Is vote hunting among farmers.
Congressman Meyer Londan taunt-
ed the lawmakers who profess fear
of "class legislation when labor is
involved, and who, by their votes,
officially recognize financial, agricul-
tural, industrial and commercial in
terests."
without 1t ever having been in
tended" said the New York congress
man, "this bill will help to do away
with the fiction that there are no
group or class interests in society"
He offered an amendment to include
a representative of labor as a member
of the federal reserve board, and
stated that 81 expect a unanimous
vote in support of my amendment"
1t was defeated by more than
two-to-one vote.

courts were originally limited and de-
fined BY English authority. IL was
by deyising and expanding the judi
cial theory that business IS property
that American equity courts endeav-
ored to justify their injunctions in
labor cases.
If business is property when a
strike or boycott occurs, then il neces-
sarily must be property at all other
times and entitled TO be protected
against irreparable injury caused by
competition from other manufactur-
ers or business men. Business and
the income derived from business
would be established in the same po-
sition as land and the income derived
from it. One immediate result would
be to make all competition in trade
unlawful because the competition of
one manufacturer or merchant would
injure or destroy the business and the
income of another manufacturer or
merchant.
If Equal Rights Clash Law Cannot
Interfere.
As was said by Judge Moves of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals in the case Of the National Fire
PROBING Company vs.. Mason Build
ers' Associations:
"a laborer, as well as a build
err, trader, or manufacturer, has the
right to conduct his affairs in any
lawful manner even though he may
thereby injure others The
result is not conspiracy, although
II may necessarily work injury to
other persons. The damage to such
persons may be serious, it may even
extend to their ruin--but if it is in
llicted by combination in the legiti-
mate pursuit of its own affairs, it is
damnum obseque injuria.
Nevertheless, it cannot be denied
that the complaint has grounds for
complaining. 1t desires to engage in
a lawful and legitimate business in a
lawful and legitimate way and is
practically prevented from doing so
by the acts of the defendants. Its
right to do business in the manner
1t desires is interferred with and the
law affords 1t no remedy because such
interference is only incidental to the
exercise by the defendants of their
own right to contract for their own
benefit. The complainant is injured,
but has no remedy. The law could
only make it possible for the COM
plainant to do business in the way it
chooses by compelling the defendants
to do business in the way they do
not choose. But when equal rights
clash, the law cannot interfere"
In this case, the National Fire
proofng Company had endeavored to
secure an injunction against the
Mason Builders Association. 1t was
a controversy between two groups of
business men. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals refused to
issue an injunction and in doing so
laid down the principles announced
above, making it evident that the
right to engage in business did not
transform business into property.

WITNESSES FOR STATE
IN TREASON" TRIAL ARE
PAID BY COAL OWNERS
nv A. F. of l.. News Service.


Charles Town, w. Weaknesses
for the state in the alleged treason"
trial of miners have their witness
vouchers, issued by the clerk Of the
court, cashed by coal owners.
The miners attorneys forced this
admission from Walter Thurmond,
president of the Logan coal operators
association, after the coal owners
attorneys made hard fight to have
Judge Woods rule against admitting
this evidence.
Thurmond acknowledged that his
association has already spent $4,000
for witnesses and $1,000 for after
neys' fees. The reason for the latter
low cost is that the attorneys have
an annual retainer and are continually
engaged in fighting organized labor.
Thurmond's testimony shows that
the coal owners attorneys are not
only directing the court fight, but they
are paying witnesses fees.

edy at law. With this as a founda-
ton, a number of American courts
evolved the judicial theory that bust
ness was property and that an ire
parable injury to this business justi-
fed the court in issuing injunctions.
In direct connection with this con-
ception there developed the theory
that the employer had a property
right in the patronage Of those who
purchased his wares, and, in addition,
a property right in the labor; that is
to say in the services of his employees.
The distinctions between what con-
stitutes property, business and per-
sonal rights are not difficult to under
stand. They are clearly defined both

BULL-HEADEDNESS
AND IT'S RESULTS ON
ORGANIZED LABOR

II won't allow anybody to tell me
how to vote. | am capable of decid-
ing who to vote for. 1t is all a
scheme of clique of labor politicians
to perpetuate the democratic party in
power" said several million wise"
labor unionists two years ago, when
the American Federation of Labor
officials We're waging a campaign to
elect their friends and defeat their
enemies. And ever since the wise"
guys and the rest of laboring human
ity have been reaping the harvest
sown by their bull-headedness.
For bull-headedness has allowed
the election of the most reactionary
set of government officials Big Bust
ness could wish for.
Wage reductions, can't-strike laws,
injunctions, anti-child labor decisions,
"open" shopism, and various other
sorts of Big Businessism have been
inflicted upon the workers, and now
comes Supreme Justice Taft, who
holds a life appointment bv virtue of
the bull-headedness of organized
labor voters, has added the finishing
touches by deciding that labor unions
can be sued for any loss, real or inn
aginary, occasioned through strikes!
He does not say, however, that en-
ployers may be sued for loss to the
workers occasioned through lockouts,
lay-offs and other loss of employ
ment.
The intent of this decision is to
chain workers to their jobs by making
strikes possible only at the peril of
the strikers, who through their union
utilization are held financially respon-
sible for damages claimed to be
caused by a strike. The ultimate
destruction of the unions would then
be possible, which would, of course,
be nothing more nor less than what
the whole scheme is intended to bring
about.
After organized labor is passed
away, what will follow?

some consideration Of the theories

The (. ct that there were no pfece-

of such injunctions, even though IL

Allen Roasts Labor Leaders.

Gov. Allen in his Quincy speech
roasted labor officials, branding them
40 fellows with hard faces and soft
hands who get along by the contribu-
tons of the real workers. If Allen has
hands. 1t is said for each speech he
gets $500. His meals do not cost him
as much as a cent, as he is Toasted
and banqueted in every town he visits.
Being a fellow who gets easy money,
free grub, etc, he should be the last
man TO knock against underpaid la
Dor officials. If workingman were
governor of Kansas and he put in
nearly all his time away from his job,
as Allen does, the worker would be
jailed for obtaining money under
false pretense.
