syndicalism victims of California; the
other demands are for the eight-hour
day, abolition Of the blacklist, and de-
cent food. The state labor commits
-sioner says only 20 men are out;
1900 men in all are employed at the
camp. In advertising for men to break

C0N0UERING HEROES RETURN


New York. = Penniless, friendless,
and unwanted. 2l3 destitute Ameri-
mostly ex-service men and their
families have arrived here from
France, guests of the U. S. shipping
board which brought them back to Am
erica, passage free.
There was no welcome for them
here. No delegation of distinguished
citizens" went down the bay to meet
them. No bands escorted them thru
the streets. No newspaper reporters
interviewed them. No speeches were
made for them.
The only thing which has been done
about them thus far has been an emer-
gency meeting of various charity or
ganization heads to see what could be
done about them. That was after r
W. Hill, state superintendent Of alien
poor, recommended that they not be
permitted to cross the river to New
York from Hoboken, N. J., where they
landed.
These former soldiers and their fam.
lilies have been permitted to go to the
municipal lodging house. with the un.
Outstanding that their expenses will Be
paid temporarily by the Red Cross.
Many of them married French girl;
while in France, and found it impossi-
BE to make living there.

COAL OPERATORS
DOMINATE COURT
(By The Federated Press)

Salt Lake City-CoaI operators are
financing the prosecution by the state
of the l6 union miners who go to trial
Nov. 20 at Price, Carbon county, Utah
charged with murder.
The offense is said to have been
committed last June during the nation
wide coal strike. A trainload of strike
breakers and armed guards exchanged
shots with men who. the prosecution
charges, were the l6 unionists now
under Indictment. One guard, who
carried deputy sheriff's commission
was killed.
Carbon county has been outside
American territory, SO far as the U. S.
constitution holds. for years. The OPP
orators have not permitted freedom Of
speech or assemblage. Union organ
izing has been more dangerous to life
than actual mining. Martial law and
mob law by the coal owners has been
the rule. Most of the coal camps are
closed tight against the public. no one
being permitted to enter or leave ex-
cept by order Of the company.

EQUAL RIGHTS CAMPAIGN
BY NATIONAL W0MAN'S PARTY

Washington. - Plans for an equal
Legislatures meet this winter will be
legislatures meen this winter will be
formulated at the conference of found
er and officers of the National Wo-
! mans party here, Nov. liz. The
conference will also vote on the advis-
ability Of introducing in congress at
this time national equal rights
amendment.
A series of ''best laws" dealing with
all subjects relating to women, based
upon actual statutes in force in one
or more states which form the highest
standards, of equality now in existence,
have been drafted by the legal re-
search department of the organization
for presentation to the conference and
for Endorsement as models of legisla-
tive action in different states. This
report summarizes existing laws reIa-
tive to women in industry, marriage,
divorce, guardianship Of children, mar
ried women's property rights, etc.
Such laws have the advantage, +"
says Maud Younger, legislative chair
man of the Woman's party, 'of being
already on statute books, enforced
and interpreted by the courts. There
should therefore be no difficulty in
having them passed by other states.
Miss Younger adds that the purpose
of the party's new proposal is to
make our campaign not only mega
tive 2one, removing determinations
against women from our laws, but also
a positive one, substituting the high
est form of equality. For instance,
one Of the best laws in the country on
illegitimacy is that of North Dakota,
where LEGITIMACY has been abolished;
one of the best laws on support is
that of Louisiana, where the law states
that husband and wife pledge to each
other mutual fidelity, aid and assis-
lance; and one of the best laws on
alimony is that of. Ohio, where hus-
band and wife may receive alimony
from the other"
It is announced that delegates from
Is states have already registered, and
representatives are expected from
every state in the union to be present
at the conference to discuss the pro-
blems met by women in all depart
ments of public life. A special con-
ference of women lawyers, led by
Judge Kathryn Sellers, of the D. c.
Juvenile court, will meet to advise the
party on its legislative program.
