Glenn PIumb'S Book
Soon to Appear
(DV Federated Press)

Washington-Rail labor editors,
assembled in the Machinists' build
ing here, in annual meeting, heard
w. G. Roylance outline Glenn Plumb's
post humous book, Industrial Democ-
racy. The book is to appear May /
as a memorial to Glenn E. Plumb.
Roylance collaborated with Plumb
in writing the book and after Plumb's
death completed it in accordance with
the ideas which they held in common
on the ownership and control of all
public utilities. The book is the
Plumb plan for public utilities gen
orally in the same way as the original
plan was worked out for the rail-
roads and adopted by the rail unions.
Industrial Democracy will also
present the theoretical basis, the his
torical justifications and legal sane
tions for the Plumb plan as indorsed
by organized labor. The book is eX-
pected to become the popular text for
Plumb plan propaganda. 1t will be
published by B. w. Huebsch, Inc,

Inside Facts About
Teapot Dome Deal
(By Federated Press)

New York-For three days the
private car of Harry F. Sinclair, head
of the Sinclair Oil Co., stood on a
siding at Three Rivers, New Mexico.
Three Rivers is the home of Albert
B. Fall Fall was then secretary OF
the interior.
There were conversations and con-
fereneces in that private car. Not
long afterward the huge Teapot
Dome oil field, which had been set
aside as reserve for the navy and
merchant marine, was removed from
the jurisdiction Of the navy depart
ment to that of the inteoior depart
ment. In a short time thereafter the
Teapot Dome field, one of the greatest
oil reservoirs in the country, was
leased to the Mammoth Oil Co., of
which Sinclair is the head.
Those facts were disclosed here in
an address by Senator Royal S. Cope
land, in the course of which he coined
the term "private car government -
and declared there is too much of
thas sort of government in the
United States.
The Teapot Dome lease, he said,
was made without competitive bids,
and constitutes a gross waste of the
nations resources.
The Teapot Dome reservoir is estl..
mated to contain 30,000,000 barrels of
oil. Sinclair, who controls the Mann
moth Oil Co., owns nearly a million
shares of class A stock in the con-
cern, and $500 shares of class B stock.

Church League Asks
Relief For ShOpmen
(By Federated Press)

New York-The Church League for
Industrial Democracy declares that
no finer body Of American working
men can be found than the striking
shopmen with whom about half the
railroads of the country are refusing
to settle.
In back cover full page advertise
ment in The New Republic, liberal
weekly, the league asks: "Shall a
great industrial conflict be settled
by freezing and starving women and
children, by unjust injunctions
against peaceful activities, by false
arrests, iniquitous fines and exorbit-
ant bail? If YOU believe it shall not,
give proof of your belief on the cou-
pom below. This shopmen's strike be-
gan last July. Two hundred thousand
men and their families are affected
on those railroads where the issue has
not been settled. Every resource has
been exhausted by these men and
their organizations. No finer body
of American workingmen can be
found"

checks be made payable to the Shop
mems Relief and Defense fund, care

Farmer-Labor Party
Sends Out Invitations
(Bv Federated Press)

Chiacgo-Both the Workers Marty
and the Socialist party are included
in the invitation for a national coali-
tion convention sent out by the ma
tional committee of the FarmerLab-
or party. The convention is to be
held in Chicago July 8.
"Our object is to bring together all
political parties that are opposed to
the two old party organizations" said
National Secretary Jay Brown. "1n
addition we want to weld into one po-
litical unit all the labor organizations
that are not explicitly opposed to po-
litical actions. Farmer organizations
are also included and we want the
women's organizations that are not
auxiliaries to the old parties"
The Liberal party, an outgrowth of
the Committee of 48 which met in
convention with the Farmer-Labor
party in 1919, will be welcomed to
the July gathering. The l. w. w.
are not included in the cali.

Another Injunction
Outrage in West Va.

Charleston, w. Va.-Federal Judge
McClintic has enjoined organized
miners from using money collected
through the "check Off to unionize
the anti-union mines on Cabin Greek.
The injunction affects coal owners
who have contracts with the union
and every member of the United
Mine Workers of America.
Judge McClintic commands that the
United Mine Workers cease sending
money into the district for the pur-
pose of unionizing these anti-union
mines, and that the United Mine
Workers shall not continue strikes
called in these mines.
Under the injunction the miners
can continue no strike against these
anti-union coal owners. Any SUPPORT
thew give a member of the union
now on. strike is contempt of court:
Anv encouragement in any form will
also come under the courts ban.
To indicate how far West Virginia
has gone the way Of the Siberia OF
old it is only necessary to recall this
Injunction and one issued last fall by
the same Judge in which the striking
miners of Mingo county were ordered
TO abandon tent colony they were
maintaining on leased land.
In the state senate political agents
of anti-union coal owners are nur-
suing the same policy. The reaction
arv measures pending in the legisla-
ture include law to handcuff work
ers to their jobs, making the "check
off" illegal and outlawing agree
ments between employer and employ
ed.

A TWO-FACED HYPOCRITICAL
PARSON SMOKED OUT
CDR" ShupD, the Old-Time Anti-Sa-
loon Lacquer Caught Dead to Rights
and Quits Because of "TII Health"
(By Federated Press)

st. Louis-After 10 years of siren
uous and varied labors, during which
time he was often called "the smooth
est politician in Missouri" the Rev.
W. c. Shupp has rendered his resig-
nation as superintendent, Missouri

was fraught with interesting events,
not all of which were to his credit

quently he accompanied in unofficial
capacity, prohibition agents, in the
conduct of raids on liquor stills. In
one case, when several large, expen-
slVe VatS were included in the bulky
spoils of the raiders, Shupp was given
the vats for a parage which was
never built and the watts passed into
the possession of local vinegar con-
Germ, on what terms has not appear

Shupp was fined $25 on a charge
OF tampering with witnesses in
liquor violation case in an Osceola,
Mo-, court in 1910. For years he was

during legislative sessions, and vari-
Gus methods were employed to Sc
cure the election of candidates favor

The Missouri Assn. opposed to pro-
hlbition has consistently camped on
Shupps trail, and recently the asso-
citation declared it had positive oroof
that Shupp accepted a bribe of $500
for lndorsing an application of local
chemical concern to use alcohol for
manufacturing purposes. Shupp de-
MED this. A letter on the stationery
OF the dry league, signed by Shupn,
and addressed to the state prohibition
director, w. H. Allen, recommending
that the Ludwig Products Co., st.
Louis, be given an alcohol permit,
was made public. The letter was
published and Shupp was compelled
to admit writing it. "It was merely
favor to friend" he explained.
Shupp may or may not have been
"the smoothest politician in Miss

several raids were made on a soft
drink parlor across the street from
Goltra's iron works. No liquor was
found.
"Mr. Shupn complained to me that
this soft drink stand was causing
dissension among Mr.. Goltra's en-
ployes,'" says Prohibition Director
Frank Diggs. "In the course of my
investigation | learned that the men
employed in the iron works gathered
in the soft drink parlor, ate their
lunches and met in the halls above to
talk unionism. Then l became con-
vinced that there was some other rea-

NEWARK, OHIO. FRIDAY. APRIL 6, to
Government By Injunction

Courts are going to figure more in
industrial disputes. Injunctions are
already a big factor with which labor
is reckoning. For this reason when
a federal judge speaking from the
bench talks about the tyranny of the
courts as an instrument of the dicta-
torship of industrial magnates, what
he has to say should gain a wide
hearing.
Judge Amidon of the U. S. circuit
court of North Dakota speaks from
long study of the use of injunctions
in industrial disputes and from six
months experience with the contro-
versy between the Great Northern
railway and it's striking shopmen. He
condemns the use of affidavits as evil
dence in injunction proceedings. He
condemns the use of private gunner.
He condemns injunctions of the
Daugherty type as a violation of the
Clayton act.
Here are some of the sentences
from his opinion issued in company
with an order which constrains
equally the shopmen and the company
representatives:
"The experience both upon the
hearings as to whether preliminary
injunction should issue, and upon the
contempt proceedings, have convinced
me that affidavits are an untrust-
worthy guide for judicial action.
"Many affidavits submitted on be-
half of plaintiffs (the railroads) have
been made by private detectives or
guards. AS class they are over
jealous through their desire to prove
to the detective bureaus that they are
efficient, and to the railway company
that they are indispensable. Speak
ing generally such detectives are
drawn from a class of people in large
cities which would cause little cred
ence to be given to their statements
in ordinary litigation.
''The sooner public officers are
substituted for private detectives the
better it will be for all parties con-
cerned in strikes.
''The most serious complaint that
can be made against injunctions,
which have become so prominent a
part of the law in dealing with
strikes in the United States, is the
fact that courts have become accus-
toned to decide the most important
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-04-06

questions of fact, often involving the
citizens liberty, upon this wholly
untrustworthy class of proof.
"The impartial history of strikes
teaches that there is as much danger
to strikes on the picket line from
private detectives and sometimes
from new employees, as there is of
the same kind of wrong on the part
of strikers against new employees.
"The strikers in the ticket line are
entitled to have enough present to
shield them against the temptation
of their adversaries to resort to vio-
lent methods. They also need the
same protection against trumped up
charges and unfair evidence relative
to any assaults that may occur on
either side.
"The court of appeals, speaking
through Justice Harlan of the su-
preme court, decided that in the eco
, nomic struggle the right to strike was
a weapon, a last and desperate wea-
pom, which laboring men had the right
to use for the purpose Of securing
what they believed to be just and
wholesome conditions.
"Many lower federal courts have
studiously striven to disregard its
(the Clayton act) plain language as
we'll as the actual intent OF congress
as disclosed by the history of the
statute.
"In my judgment all such action
the courts is gross abuse of
judicial power, and a direct refusal
on their part to obey statute which
was intended to limit their powers.
"The capital objection to restrain
| ing workmen from striking is the
| futihty of such injunctions. Ameri-
cans cannot be held permanently in a
state of peonage.
"The injunction recently issued in
Chicago (Daugherty) and the earlier
one issued at Indianapolis in connec-
ton with the bituminous coal strike,
were not only direct violation of
the Clayton act, but they carry gov
ernment by injunction into new
fields. They virtually hold that the
| power of the courts to issue injunc-
tons in strike cases not only has no
limits in equity Jurisprudence but that
congress cannot frame a law to limit
! this power which the courts may not
nullify by skillful construction"
No comment is necessary. These
are sentences based on thorough legal
knowledge which you can quote in the
everyday fight which must be waged
against the encraching power of the
instruments of industrial feudalism.

COSTSL|kE HOB
ONE UNION MAN DOES WORK OF
ALMOST TWO SCABS
Railroads Lockout Policy is Costly
and Vast Sums Are Spent-As
Usual Public Pays the Bill

New York-It is a costly proceed
ing to lock out 5,400 railroad shop
men, according to General Manager
Bardo of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad, who testified at
the federal building where agents OF
Attorney General Daugherty are Sc
curing dispositions to present to Fed
eral Judge Wilkerson of Chicago IN
support of the attempt to secure
permanent injunction against the shop
men.
The New Haven shop men have
nleaded to return to work under rea-
sonable conditions that other roads
have accepted, but the lockout con,
tinues. Mr.. Bardo said his road hlred
10000 strikebreakers to Obtain
working force of $500 men. The lat
ter number is attempting to DO the
work of 5,40O shop men, but the com
pany has been forced to send SO loco
motives to outside shops for repair:
Delays of local passenger trains
which amounted to but 4.8 per cent
in June, 1922, just before the lockout
started, increased to IL per cent IN
July, 1873 in August, 23.2 in Septem-
ber, PSI in October, 27.2 in November
and 37.2 in December of last year:
Through passenger trains, which
were delayed 208 per cent in June,
1922, the month before the lockout,
were delayed sos in July, 67.5 in Au-
gust, 76.5 in September, 69.8 in Oc-
tober, 7O.2 in November, 85.2 in De
cember, 81 in January, 1923; 81.6 in
February, 1923, and rs in March.
1t was stated that 3,O57 claims for
a total of $455,035, for damages to
fruits and vegetables from July l,
1922, to February 28, 1923, has been
filed against, the company. For the
same period in 1921 the total claims
paid on fruit and vegetables was S3l )
600. The present claims are due TO
excessive delays and improper ham
ding conditions, officials say.
Officers of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road also acknowledged that the lock-
out has crippled that road, and that
S1.OOO,OOO has been spent for wages,
food and quarters for the strikebreak-
ers. The normal force OF shop men
on that road is 5000, it was stated.
The road has hired 10000 strike
breakers to replace these men. APP
proximately IT'S engines have been
sent TO OUTSIDE SHOPS loI repairs.
road had $50 locomotives available
for service when the lockout started,
and this number decreased to 613 last
February.
The testimony of these railroad Of
ficials is the first correct statement
of conditions on these roads as re-.
suit of the union-smashing policy OF
railroad financiers.
The testimony was continuous rec
ord of incompetency, delayed trains,
wrecks, destruction of perishable
freight, expense and waste. -.
1t can be assumed that if other rail-
road managers were put on oath slml-
lar conditions on other union-smash-
ing roads would be uncovered. These
