ASSESS ALL UNION MEN i
 TO AID PHONE STRIKERS

Boston, July 27.-Letters recom- mending an assessment of at least 50 cents on every labor union member in Massachusetts to raise $I5o,ooo for the aid of striking telephone opera tors of five New England states have been mailed to 2,o64 local unions by the secretary of the state branch of the American Federation of Labor here. Included in the letters, it was said, will be instructions to appoin, working committees whose duty 1t will be to induce persons in com munities affected by the strike to urge men and women employed as operators by the New England Tele- phone & Telegraph company to give up their positions.
 As result of the action to aid the strikers leaders prepared to continue the strike with renewed energy. Two conferences last week at which the company offered to take back as many operators as there were vacan- cies at their old wages with restora- ton of benefit privileges at the end of year but with the loss of senior ity rights, failed to result in a set tlement.

"When labor retaliated by passive resistance, workmen were impressed into a huge labor army. The prac- tical effect of this program was to plunge Russia once more into me dievalism. Politically there was a ruthless despotism an deconomically the situation was equally disastrous.
 It is true that, under the pres sure of the calamitous consequences, the governing group Tn Russia has yielded certain concessions. The so- called new economic policy permit ted a partial return to economic free dom The termination of forcible re- quisitions of grain has induced the peasantry to endeavor to build up production once more and favorable weather conditions have combined to increase the agricultural output. How far the reported exports of Russian grain are justified by the general economy of the country is at least on open question.
 Manufacturing industry has to a great extent disappeared. The suf- frage, so far as it may be exercised continues to be limited to certain classes and even among them the votes of some categorleS count more than the votes of others. A new con- stitution has just now been promul- gated providing in evect for the con tinuance of the regime of the 1917 coup d'Etat under new title. The constitution, 1t is understood, con tains no bill of rights and the civil liberties of the people remain inse- cure. There is no press except the press controlled by the regime, and the censorship is far reaching and stringent Labor is understood to be still at the mercy of the state. While membership in official unions is no longe robligatory workmen may not organize or participate ih voluntary unions.
 "The fundamentals of the Russian situation are pretty generally under stood in the United States and have made a profound impression upon the thought of our people, We are constantly made aware of this in the department of state by the various ways in which public opinion makes itself felt in the seat of government. We learn of the hope of America that Russia should have the oppor- tunity of free political expression and that she should be enabled to re- sume her economic life and regain prosperity and once more to take her place among the nations on the basis of mutual helpfulness and re- spect"

Raleigh, N. C., July 2o.-Governor Morrison has commuted the terms of o5o convicts at the state prison to in determinate sentences. This does not include 200 who are already serving 1ndetermlnate sentences, nor those serving life sentences. Prisoners who have served les than one-half of their sentences get one-fourth of their re- maining time taken off Those who have more than one-third get a third of their sentence time. The gover- nor's action is part of his prison reform program which he inaugur- ated by aboishing corporal punish ment in the state prison.

 One of the things which the joint railroad board wants the state of Connecticut to do is to repeal the law which provides that the stock of the New York, New Haven & Hartford cannot be sold for any sum less than the $Ioo par value It is claimed, of course, that with the stock now f1irt- ing with the zero mark, such law IS ridiculous.
 The joint committee, in its report, pointed out that if the legislatures would assist, the company could be placed upon a basis so that in 1923 it would show net earnings of over $7,ooo, 900.
 It certainly would because the com mittee recommended plan whereby the states would guarantee the bonds and debts of the company, relieve 1t of taxes and guarantee the payment of reasonable dividend Get that plan once before special session and it would take Jehovah himself to stop the lobby that would again rattle the state house. Sure the road would be netting over $7,ooo,ooo year-the people would be paying 1t through lost taxes and guarantees

 NCllluCky 1dllS 1nIO line W1In a uc- cree, which though merely comic, shows the growing tendency to turn to a judge to remedy all ills by in- junction. John Alton, 6, was the victim, being enjoined from marrying, visiting or even talking to a noun tain woman whom he had come all the way from Minnesota to see. The excuse for the injunction was that the woman had little money and Alton was suspected of being more interested in the money than in the lady herself
 This outline of recent injunction cases has not mentioned other as saults by the courts on organized la Dor, such as the recent decision of the Washington State Supreme Court that unions are liable for damages suffered during strikes, decision which is being vigorously fought by the Washington State Federation of Labor. Anti-labor court decisions have recently also been given in Wis consin and other states.
 And so 1t goes As the workmen and farmers of Minnesota, watched with approval by the rest of the na- tion, demonstrate their desire for progress in government and industry by electing Magnus Johnson to the United States Senate, the courts strike blows at liberty and freedom all over the nation. The tide of judi cial tyranny and usurpation Is rising Where will 1t end?

 reason is more eficacious in dealing with public opinion than the spirit of strife.
 "The daily newspaper is the chosen medium of the American people off the maintenance of widespread social contact. The growth of population, the development of speedy communi- cation and other phenomena of mod ern civilization have brought about that condition. The average American is too busy to seek information in the highways and byways. He relies upon the daily press. The business man long since recognized that fact and came to depend upon the news paper advertising columns to keep him in touch with his market.
 Members of the typographical and other unions have enjoyed un- exce1led opportunity for observing the value of newspaper space and I have found among them hearty approval of the proposal that unions resort to advertising in their educational cam paigns.

 MT. Atterbury expressed the opin- ion in an address to employees, in which he criticised members of the Railroad Labor Board who "seem to misconceive" their duties
 Some public authorities, whose official duty it is to encourage such relationship as we are actually estab- fishing on the Pennsylvania, seem to misconceive their functions and try to SOW seeds of discord where peace and harmony already exist.

BY the Associated Press.

Parma, Mo, April 24.-State troops
from Bernie and Campbell, nearby
towns, arrived here yesterday to pre-
serve order following reports that
trouble was feared between whites
and negroes as a result os the shooting

ing removed to a hospital.
Breeze was taken into custody after
automobile tracks outside the door Of
the negro's shack were traced TO his
home.
An impression of the tracks outside

ear are identical, said Sheriff Ros,
coc Walker of Stoddard county.
Following the death of Keaton, ne
groes in the district gathered here
Saturday afternoon and at that time
Sheriff Walker said he believed race
trouble was imminent, and he made
an appeal TO Governor Arthur NJ.
Hyde for troops.
The sheriff declared last night that
since Saturday there had been indi-
cations of impending disturbances and
that he thought the authorities have
the situation well in hand.
The importation of negro labor is
said TO be the foundation for the stu
alton.
Several cotton planters in the To-
cality had imported negro labor.
Other white planters objected. and
the shooting is said TO have resulted.
About 80 negroes have arrived in the
community in the past two weeks and
more are expected.
County officials expressed the be-
lief that the shooting was staged in
an effort to scare off further immi-
grafton Of negro laborers.
