CALLED DOWN
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
WARNS JUDGES
Indiscriminate Issuing Injunctions on
Ex-Parte Applications Should
Be Put a Stop To

New York-Judges are warned of
the indiscriminate use of the inJunc-
tion writ oy a committee of the
American bar association that has
formulated a code of conduct and
ethics for judges.
The code makes no direct reference
to labor injunctions, but strong
ground is taken against the practice
of judges issuing injunctions on eX
parte application. :,
Judges are told that they should
discourage these ex parte proceed
ings, and that it is unethical to issue
injunctions or order receiverships
without the knowledge of defendants
except "where the necessity for quick
action is clearly shown
eff this be demonstrated" says the
committee, "then the judge should
endeavor to counteract the effect OF
the absence of opposing counsel by a
scrupulous cross-eXamination and in
vestigation as to the facts and the
principle of law upon which the ap-
plication is based, granting relief
only when satisfied that the law per-
mits it and the emergency demands
it.
"The Judge should remember that
an injunction is a limitation upon the
freedom of action of defendants and
should not be granted lightly or mad
visedly.
"One applying for such relief must
sustain the burden of showing clearly
it's necessity and this burden is in
creased in the absence Of the party
whose freedom of action is to be re-
strained, even though only tempo
rarily."
The code includes not only rules
for the guidance of the judge while
on the bench but numerous sugges-
tions are made as to his private con-
duct, which, it is declared, Should be
beyond reproach."

Able Congressman
Succeeded by Wife
(BV Federated Pressl

Washington-The capitol witness
ed the seating last week of the third
congressWoman as a member of the
9th congress. She is Mrs. Mae Ellen
Nolan, of California, elected to sue
ceed her husband, John |. Nolan,
from the strongest labor centers of
San Francisco, the fifth congression-
al district.
A woman representative of the peo-
pie has ceased to be a nine days won
der even in Washington, so Repre-
sentative Nolan, who defeated six
other candidates at a special election
to fill her late husbands uneXrired
term IN congress, was sworn in quiet
ly and without ado by Speaker Gil
lett. The pleasure of the women
present in the galleries, who saw her
seated beside Congresswoman Alice
Robertson from Oklahoma, was mar
red only by the absence OF the third
woman member of the house, Wini-
fred Mason Huck, representative
from Illinois, who is now campaign
ing in the Second Illinois district.
After receiving congratulations
from both sides of the house, Mrs.
Nolan remarked: II cannot forget
that my election was tribute to the
memory Of my late husband, and in
the belief and expectation that I, who
was his close associate in his legisla-
tive work for many years, could best
carry that work on in his place."
Those who know Mrs. Nolan-for
she is not a stranger in Washington
know that the confidence of the
voters of the fifth California district
has been we'll placed.

Cry of Labor Shortage
Is Lying Propaganda

Louisville, Ky.-There are more
than 250,00O unemployed according to
an unemployment census conducted
by the American legion, said Garland
M. Powell, an officer of the legion, in
an address in this city.
"The results Of this census refute
many arguments in favor of lowering
the bars against alien immigration
he said. "There is an organized
movement afoot among certain en-
ploying interests to repeal the pres
ent per cent act for limiting imml-
grafton on the plea of scarcity OF
labor"
Organized labor is giving careful
attention to proposed changes in the
immigration law that are recommend
ed by the house committee on immi-
grafton.
One of these recommendations is
that the per cent provision for ad-
mitting immigrants shall be changed
to 2 per cent, and that the 1910 CEN
sus, on which the admittance percent
age is based, shall be changed to the
1890 census. Other recommendations
call for the admission of more rela
tives than is now provided for.
Officers of the Amarillo (Texas)
central labor union inform President
Gompers that an employment agency
in that city is advertising through
the north central states that "Ama-
rillo, Texas, is in need of help in all
lines"
"There is nothing so far from the
truth as that, as we have surplus
in all lines here" these unionists say.
"It is done through the instigation of
anti-unionishs to reduce wages"

Why New York State
ShiverS With Cold
(By Federated Press)

New York-The reason that scores
of cities and towns in Northern New
York, shivering with cold, are de-
mandlng a government embargo on
coal to Canada, is that the coal-carry-
ing railroads, particularly the Della
ware q Hudson, and the New York,
New Haven & Hartford, have refused
to settle with their striking shop
crafts workmen. That fact was
brought out here before the interstate
commerce commission.
In one yard of the Delaware &
Hudson, one of the commissions in
vestigators found 222 loaded cars
billed to towns in northern New York
which had been from 13 to 40 days
on the rails and still were standing.
The general manager of the New
Haven admitted that his road had
500 cars detained at one transfer
point. The superintendent of trans
portatlon for the Boston & Maine
railroad testified that his road had
$50 cars tied up at upstate junction
points.
ollowing these admissions, Royal
S. Copeland, New York City health
commissioner, declared that his in
vestigations had shown that there is
collision, if not actual conspiracy,
among the "big five" railroad com
panies and the coal mine operators
to limit supnly and transportation.
Lockouts by the railroads of the
shop craftsmen, Copeland asserted,
have caused the decentralization of
rolling stock. He asserted further
that the coal famine has been aggra-
waited by the refusal of railroad eff
cials to a~Nrove wage agreements
and agreements on working condi-
tions and hours of work which have
been ratified between the officials
representatives. and the EMPLOYEES:
and finally that the railroad com
panies are defying the laws which
should compel them to fulfill their
duties as public utility corporations.
"A ten minute conference" he
said, "amono -'lblic-spirited railroad
officials and coal mine operators-if
there are any-would settle all con-
troversies, and the people who freeze
because of the failure of those men to
nerform their duties would get the
relief they demand.
"lhe chief offenders among the
railroads are the Pennsylvania, the
Lehigh Valley, the Lackawanna, the
delaware & Hudson, and the Central
of New Jersey"

COSSaCkS Must Be
Irresponsible CitizenS''

Harrisburg, Pa.-Governor Pinchot
is hopeful that special police, appoint
ed at the request of private corpora
tions, can be civilized.
In a letter to the heads of corpora
tions in this state the governor said
that no such policemen will be com
missioned in the future who can not
satisfy him they are responsible, law
abiding citizens and competent to
exercise the law-enforcing power of
the state.
The governors statement is veri-
fication Of the charge organized labor
has often made against these special
police, who have been appointed on
the word of corporations, and are be-
yond the control of the state.
The governor notified the corpora
tions that the names of any men who
upon investigation, may be found to
be unsuitable will be forwarded to
them and they will be asked to sup
ply other men for the posts thus
made vacant.
con May l the commissions of any
special policemen as to whom the ne
cessary information has not been sub
mitted, or who are found not to meet
the requirements Of the law will be
revoked" the governor said.

Oppose Ship Subsidy
Plan is ''PerniCious''
(By Federated Press)

Washington-The ship subsidy bill
is "pernicious legislation" and is
against the best interests of the peo-
pie, declared the conference commit
tee of trade union legislative repre-
sentatives at meeting presided over
by President Gompers.
Every influence of the privileged
few, it was stated, is attempting to
drive this legislation through the
senate, and ''the chamber of COM
merce of the United States, local
chambers of commerce and other rep
resentatives of special privilege have
added their voices to those of the pri-
vate ship owners to have a law enact
ed that will bind the United States to
Objectionable contracts that can not
be changed for Is years." This kind
OF legislation, it was stated, will place
a financial burden on the United
States from which it can not be re-
lieved until all contracts expire.
The conference urged members of
the senate to protect the interests of
the people by voting against this
proposal.
Opposition was also recorded to re-
opening the immigration question. 1t
was pointed out that not only is there
no need for new immigration legisla-
tion at this time but that any effort
to enact new legislation will violate
the spirit of the present statute.

STANDARD OIL
ELEVEN YEARS OF PROFITS is
$25O,OOO, ,OOO.OO
Investigation of Standard Oil Shows
Enormous Greed of That Concern
and Stock Value Increase

Washington-Robert w. Stewart
of Chicago, an official of the Stand
ard Oil company of Indiana, told the
senate oil investigating committee
that his group, since 1911 have clean
ed up $250,000,000 in profits, divi-
ded 9,560,000 in cash dividends and
reserved $143,250,000 for other
forms of divies.
One of these forms is the stock
dividend.
When the federal supreme court, in
the public interest" dissolved the
Standard Oil company into its con-
stituent parts of which the Standard
Oil company Of Indiana was one, the
market price Of one share of stock
was S2,521.74. Today the market
price of one share is $4,000, net
increase of $34,678.28.
Mr.. Stewart told the senate COM
mittee that he did not regard the
profits of his company as unreason-
able.
The dissenting opinion of the su-
preme court in the stock dividend
case said:
"If stock dividends representing
profits are held exempt from taxation
under the sixteenth amendment, the
owners of the most successful busi-
nesses in America will be able to es-
cape taxation on a large part of
which is actually their income.
$50 far as their profits are repre-
sented by stock received as dividends
they will pay these taxes not upon
their income, but upon the income of
their income.
''That such result was intended by
the people Of the United States when
adopting the sixteenth amendment is
inconceivable. Our sole duty is to as
certain their interest as therein ex-
pressed.

Why Passengers on the {. & L. |. Rail
Road Nearly Freeze

wait the train moved very slowly to-
ward Chicago. 1t crept along till it
hit the grade 80 miles away from Chi
cago Heights. Then it stopped.
Burst flues had let water into the
firepot; killed the engine and shut off
steam heat in the coaches. An un-
used coal stove was brought into play
by the chilly travellers. Newspapers
were burned, then magazines, but lit
tie heat came forth. The porter came
in from the parlor car with a blanket
for little pickaninny that was i'll.
"Why the h-ll don't they fix that
engine?" roared travelling salesman
in a big overcoat.
The porter, the only good natured
man in the place, smiled and alluded
to the shopmen's strike.
The train was six hours late in a
four-hour run.

No Labor Shortage
On Pacific Coast

Washington-"The police estimate
of the unemployed ia this city is 25,-
600" says John S. Horn, secretary of
the Los Angeles central labor coun-
Gil, writing to President Gompers on
the out-of-work situation in the west
ern city.
eff the same situation prevails in
other cities that prevails in Los
Angeles, you can see the absurdity of
the shortage-of-labor claim," says
Secretary Horn, who forwarded local
newspaper accounts of the Los An
geles common council voting $4,000
to be used to employ men at So day
to dig a drainage ditch. Six moving
picture studios will contribuate a like
amount.
That the number of unemployed
run into the thousands is indicated
by statements in the Los Angeles
papers. The Record, published in
that city, says:
According to fasty estimates
there are now from $4,000 to $4,000
men in the city who are unable to OBJ
tain work."
