Legislative Committee Appointments for 1923 Session.
 Not Looked Upon With Favor By Many Members
DAUGHERTY GIVEN
 COAT OF WHITEWASH
House Committee Recommends Dis
 n1issal of Impeachment Case.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Dismissa1 of impeachment charges brought against Attorney General Daugherty by Rep resentative Keller, Republican, Min nesota, is recommended to the house in resolution adopted, I2 to 2, by
 the judiciary committee, which held
 public hearings on the charges last month.
 At the same time the committee ap- proved, I2 to ?, formal report to the house holding that that body had the power to punish MT. Keller by inn prisonment or otherwise for his re- fusal to obey a subpoena issued for him immediately after his dramatic withdrawal from the case on the third day of the hearings.
 The resolution proposing dismissal of the charges, which was opposed by Representatives Summers of Texas and Thomas of Kentucky, democrats, is as follows:
 Resolved, That your committee has made an, examination touching the matters charged to ascertain if there is any probable ground to be- lieve that any part of the charges are true; and on reconsideration of the charges and the evidence obtained it does not appear that there Is any ground to believe that Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general, has been guilty of any crime or misdemeanor requiring the interposition of the i'm peachment powers of the house.
 Resolved, That the committee on judiciary be discharged from further consideration of the charges and pro- posed impeachment of Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general of the United States, and that house resoul- ton 425 (the Keller impeachment resolution) be laid upon the table"
 With respect to the refusal of MT. Keller to appear and, testify under oath as to the information on which he based his charges, the report is understood to say that the commit tee is of the opinion that the Min nesota member was legally Required to obey the subpoena and that the house possesses full power to cause him to be arrested and confined in prison until he shall consent to testify such confinement not to extend be- yond the term of this congress, next March 4, and power to otherwise deal with him so as to compel obedience to the summons.
 Representatives Sumner and Thom- as voted against this report and Rep resentatives Montague, democrat, Vir ginia, voted present. The report car ries no recommendation for ah1rma tive action by the house, as 1t was decided to leave this question solely | to the judgment of the membership.

TONE STATE LAND
 SALES CHAIRMAN

Senator Joseph Tone, one of the eladers in the strike of the shop crafts, was appointed chairman of the committee on the sale of state lands. Tone was elected senator from the Tenth district in New Haven on the democratic ticket and as the republi- sans hold big majority in the House Tone takes the appointment for what it is worth as ;nply means of plac- ing him on some committee where he can do no harm.
 'I expected to be put on some in significant committee" said Senator Tone. Tt is what always happens when the majority rules"
 Mr. Tone also pointed out that every member of the general assem- bly, who had given any indication of an independent leaning had also been sidetracked for the same reaso4
 Another friend of organized labor also deocrat, received appointments on four different committees. Sen ator Dennis Clyne, representing the Eleventh district, serving his second term, was appointed member of the committee on shell fisheries, capitol furniture and grounds, engrossed bills, and senatorial appointments.

CORSET WORKERS ARE RE-ORCANIZINC
 IN BRIDGEPORT

Bridgeport, Jan. I2.-It is an en- couraging sign of the renewed inter est in the labor movement in Con- necticut that the Corset Workers of Bridgeport are engaged in an active campaign to re-organize their union. These workers had an organization during the war of some $500 women, known as the Corset Workers Union of Bridgeport, Local No. B, of the International Ladies' Garment Work ers' Union. At that time, they gained a 44-hour week in the corset industry in Bridgeport, better pay and better shop conditions During the indus trial depression, the 48-hour week was re-instituted and the organization suffered temporary relapse.
 A group of enthusiastic women workers are now working to rebuild this organization and within a few weeks, have enrolled several hundred in their ranks The workers have had their elsson in the benefit of organ ization and are coming back into the organization steadily. It is we'll known that the Bridgeport situation is an index to the situation in the garment and corset industry through out the state, and 1t is to be hoped that the success of the work in Bridgeport will mean the unionization of the industry in New Haven, Hart ford, South Norwalk and other cen teTS.

HIGH COURTS CHILD LABOR DECISION
 IS MONUMENT TO LEGAL SIDESTEPPINC

Washington, Jan. 12-The United States supreme courts recent annul- ment of the federal child labor law is recalled by the announcement that hearings will be held by the senate judiciary committee on a proposed constitutional amendment that is in tended to 1egalize child labor prohi- bition
 This decision, delivered by Chief Justice Taft is a marvellous exhibi- ton of how the legal mind can glide over decisions by the same court which run directly counter to the child labor decision. 2. 7.
 The court outlawed the child labor act on the ground that the 10 per cent profits on child labor products was a penalty and not tax. The court also ruled that the provisions of the act which permitted inspections of fac tories, so the act could be enforced, was an invasion of states rights.
 These two points constitute the courts major objections to the at tempt to check child labor by taxing the profits of child labor
 The decision is contrary to many other decisions by the same court. In the case of Zeazie Bank vS Fenno (8 Wallace, 533) the court held that the power ot congress to use tax to de- stroy can not be questioned. That case revolved around the right of congress to tax state banks out of existence. The supreme court said this was legal. In the child labor case the same court held 10 per cent tax on profits was penalty and not tax

Forty Railroads Earn
 Six Per Cent Profit

Washington, Jan. ~I2.-The inter state commerce commission reports that per cent has been earned by approximately 40 railroads in the United States. There is no provision for regulating rcontrolling the ex- pendiiures of railroads.
 None of. these railroads have paid anything to the government, as pro vided by the Cummins-Esch law. in some cases the amounts due are be- ing worked out. In other cases the railroads refuse to pay any of this money and declare the law is uncon- stitutional.
 A great hue and cry was made last July over what was declared a "de- fance of government" when railroad shop men insisted that an award by the Railroad Labor Board could not be enforced on them.
 The Lehigh & New England rah- road insists that the law is unconsti- tutional and refuses to turn over any part of it's excessive earnings. Other roads, whose earnings are in excess of the rail return standard, likewise de- clare no part of the money is legally due to the government.
 It Is clear that these railroads will not give up that money without a court fight. This means that none of the money will be paid until the court of last resort makes a decision.

CITIZENS TO DEMAND BETTER R. R. SERVICE
Will Seek Assistance of Senator Tone in Effort to Improve
 Train Conditions.

That a committee of citizens who
 are compelled to use the trains daily will soon wait upon Senator Joseph Tone and ask his assistance in ob- taining some relief from the miser- able conditions existing on the New Haven road at the present time IS the |information sent out from the head
 quarters of the strikers here today. Local strike leaders are in posses sion of a letter from a man living in Waterbury who styles himself "A
 Traveller" who claims that he was eight hours late coming from Boston
 to Waterbury. The letter also states
 that the train stalled at least every
 five miles and five engines were changed during the trip.
 The service on this particular branch of the New Haven has been very poor since the inauguration of the strike as the best of the locomo- tives were pulled off the branch so that the New Haven could make an attempt to keep the main lines some where near scheduled time.
 In this, however, they have been unsuccessful also as the records kept by the strikers of the "crack" trains will show, Wednesday of this week lnG NIlCkGIDOCkCl, dI SAlld 1dl . train, rolled into New Haven two Federal express, one of the fastest trains on the New Haven road in normal times, came in late with two engines hauling it.
 Thirty persons waiting for the 8:34 on Wednesday were forced to wait until 1o:o5 for a train for Hartford +1,o and 25 minutes late. Several other trains which were reported late on Tuesday were No. I which stalled on the road and had to be pulled in by Engine 1850; No. I72, which was pulled in by engine No. 1888, engine 1861 hauling in the second section; No. Is, which was two hours and quarter late, and No. 5I, which was an hour late, added the strikers in fornant.
 There were innumerable trains or the list in possession of a strike lead CT that were less than an hour be- hind the schedule.
 Tn addition to the complaints made to the leaders of the strikers the leg islative committed of the Connecticut Federation of Labor have also re- ceived complaints from people in all sections of the state asking that some thing be done to Overcome the ter rible service that we users of the carrier are getting"
 It was said at strike headquarters that if the people of this state were given the facts as to the real con ditions of the road through the news papers the same as is being dope by one of the Boston newspaper 1t would only be a short time before mass meeting would be called here an improvement in the service as several communities in Massachusetts have already done.

STEAMSHIP OWNERS
 ENFORCING BLACK LIST

New York, Jan. 12-The American Steamship Owners Association is at- tempting to enforce it's discharge books on crews of it's vessels. These books contain the photo, measure ments and description of each em- ploye, and are along the lines of the Bertillion system used by the police to identify criminals. Under this sys- tenn the worker Is graded and check is maintained on every day he is idle or is employed.
 The vessel owners claim that this method is in vogue in Great Britain The seamen show that the British system does not provide for photos or the complete measurements In that country the government and the ship owners recognize the union and treat with it, while in the United States the union is opposed

COPELAND FAVORS
 ORGANIZED LABOR

pr. Royal s. Copeland, senator elect from New York State, in an ad- dress at the goth annual banquet of the Cleveland lOhio) Real Estate Board, at which he was the principal speaker, declared that the labor issue IS the largest problem confronting America today,
 "The railroads are unable to handle the coal because their locomotives are in bad shape" said Dr. Cope land, "and the real reason they are unable to do so is because a few railway officials say they will not deal with labor in collective bargaining.
 I've must meet the labor union question or our cities and our coun- try will not continue to grow," con- tinued the speaker. "It is mere fool ishness for any man to say he will not bargain with labor collectively. The labor union is an economic evo- lution. True, many bad things are chargeable to the unions, but let's reform, not destroy"

Especial to The Labor News.)

Hartford, Jan. 1o.-5The Executive Council af the Connecticut Federa- tion of Labor held an important ses- sion in the State Capitol today and considered many. matters of legisla- tive interest to the organized wage earners of the state. The council unanimously adopted the program printed in full in last weeks edition of The Labor News and in addition instructed the legislative representa- tive to favor additional appropria- tions for the prevention of tubercu1o- sis and the destruction of the germ carrying mosquito.
 Action was taken to keep the or ganized workers of Connecticut in formed from time to time regarding any and all legislation, favorable or unfavorable. Treasurer Neebe of Meriden informed the council that he was to speak at the open forum of St. Paul's church in Meriden on Sun day afternoon favoring an amend ment to the Volstead act.

Railroad Is Scored
 By Congressman

Washington, Jan. 12-The manage ment of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad is so thoroughly incompetent that 1t amounts to a colossal crime upon the people living in Uncom- pahgre valley, Colorado, declared Congressman Taylor of that state. The Denver & Rio Grande is attempt ing to smash the shop mems unions and has declined the strike settlement offer of the President.
 "The operation of that railroad this year has been a cold-blooded calam ity; in fact a tragedy" said Congress- man Taylor. "1t has utterly failed to furnish cars at the necessary time for the shipment of the fruit and potato crops, and hundreds and hundreds of carloads of the finest peaches, pears, apples, and plums that are grown any where in the world were left to rot upon the trees of upon the ground.
 "One of the main banks in Mont rose suspended with I,4oo depositors. The banks, as everyone knows, very largely advance the money to the farmers to put in their crops, expect ing to get their payments when the crops are harvested And there have been, comparatively speaking, not sufficient crops harvested to anywhere near pay the cost of raising, and there is very little money and wide spread loss and deplorable suffering"
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-01-12

The court also upheld the tax on oleomargarine, which was intended to outlaw that commodity.
 In upholding the federal narcotic drug act, the court ruled that federal officials have the right to inspect drug stores. This, said the court, is a req the tax and is, therefore, valid. In the child labor law, however, the court held that inspection to enforce that act Is violation of states rights
 In a former decision (Evans vs. Gore, 253 U. S., pp. 255-256) the su- preme court in upholding he-exemp- ton of state securities, said:
 This court has repeatedly held, the power to tax carries with 1t the pow CT to embarrass and destroy; may be applied to every object within it's may determine; enables that body to select one calling and omit another; to tax one class of property and for bear to tax another, and may be ap- piled in different ways to different ob7 jects so long as there is geographical uniformity i'll the dutes, excises and irbposts imposed"
 If the court applied that reasoning in the child labor case, it would mean freedom to hundreds of thousands of children.
 The child labor decision stands as the perfect type of legalistic jugglery and is the best proof that the power of this court should be confined to it's original DurDoSeS

Child Labor Hearing

Washington, Jan. 12.-The senate judiciary committee began hearings on Wednesday of this week on pro posed constitutional amendments to authorize congress to regular child labor.
 The A. F. of L. is*associated with other organizations opposed to child labor in a movement to secure a con- stitutional amendment that will over come objections by the United States supreme court.
 The court has checked two efforts to stop this evil. The first was the Heating law, which would deny the products of child labor to interstate commerce. The second was to tax the profits of child labor

ERE L. SULLIVAN
 ADVANCES TO RAILWAY PRESIDENT

Probably one of the most active and favorably known workers in the held ot organized labor is Jere L. Sullivan, general secretary of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees In- ternational Alliance and Bartenders' International League of America, and most of his admirers have imagined that his sole activities were devoted in this direction. Most of them prob ably will be surprised to learn that he is the president and active execu- tive of railroad, yet such is the un- disputed fact.
 This office is in receipt of a printed time table of the Wideawake & Co., getem Railroad and a reproduction of MT. Sullivan's signature is attach ed. For the information of our read CTS we reproduce the time table It is as follows:
