CAN'T CONVICT
Daugherty Orders Indict
ments Against Miners
Dropped

Indianapolis.-On motion of Attor-
ney General Daugherty, conspiracy
indictments against 226 coal owners
and officers of the United Mine Work
ers have been dismissed by Federal
Judge Anderson. Mr. Daugherty
told the court that "a verdict of not
guilty would be the inevitable result
of the trial" After this acknowledge
ment that he has no case, the attor-
ney general said:
Fair and lawful agreements must
be entered into hereafter and the
things complained of in the indict-
ment in this particular case must be
discontinued"
The humor of this statement can be
appreciated when it is recalled that
the attorney general had the indict-
ments dismissed because no jury
would support him. Now he warns
miners and coal owners they must not
enter into agreements that he stated
in open court he could not prove il
legal.
The attorney general limited of evil
doings between employer and employe
in this industry, but the public is CIV
en- no information of what is declared
to be conspiracy" and DR.. Daugh-
erty intimates that he will let this
awful conspiracy" go unpunished.
The attorney generals statement
sounds like the utterances of a man
badly in need of excuses for his fail
ure to make good" lot Of threats
he published several months ago. The
abandonment of the charges will no
longer make it possible for certain
element of the coal owners to refuse
to sign an agreement with the miners
because conspiracy charges will fol-
low.

Miner Discharged at Logan
County Sheriff's Orders

Charleston, w. Va.-Don Chain,
sheriff of Logan county, and chief OF
the coal miners gunmen in that Sec
tion, has such power that he can COM
pei the discharge of a worker who
offends him.
The "Americanism" that exists in
Logan county is indicated by this
story published in the Charleston
Mail:
"W. P. Blankenship, of Logan,
called at the office of Attorney Gen
eral England and reported that he
had just been banished from Logan
county because he had been 'upholding
the rights of free speech
"He said he had been employed by
the Kentucky and West Virginia
Power Company up to last Friday,
when he was discharged. The COM
pany, he said, explained to him that
though his work had been satisfac-
tory, Sheriff Don Chain had notified
them to discharge him. He said he
left Logan with his wife and child
at a. M, Saturday, because he was
afraid to leave in daylight.
"He reported that another employe
of the power company, an electrician,
named E. B. Ebersole, was whipped
by Sheriff Chain and Deputy Sheriff
Lewis Chain last week because he
had said something against the sher-
iff.'"

CONVICTS' TERMS CUT

Raleigh, n. C.-Governor Morrison
has commuted the terms of 959 con-
victs at the state prison to indeter-
inmate sentences. This does not in
clude 206 who are already serving in
determinate sentences, nor those
serving life sentences. Prisoners
who have served less than one-half
of their sentence get one-fourth of
their remaining time taken off. Those
who have more than one-third get a
third of their sentence time. The
governors action is part of his
prison reform program which he in
augurated by abolishing corporal
punishment in the state prison.

the specious plea that the so-called
"open shop" must necessarily be the
opportunity FOR freedom. AS a mat
ter of fact you and | and any intelli-
gent observer know that the union
shop is open to all workmen who per-
form their duty, and that they par
ticipate in the benefits and advan-
tages of the improved conditions
which a union shop affords.
The union shop implies also duties
and responsibilities. This is incident
to and the corollary of all human in
stitutions.
In our country, citizenship implies
not only rights and privileges; it also
imposes duties and obligations, and
from these no good citizen has the
right to claim exemption.
On the other hand, the so-called
"open shop" is indeed the closed shop
closed to workmen who have the in.
telligence and the manhood to realize
that they, acting as individuals, car
not hope for the redress of wrong
or the attainment of a right. Mer

TURKISH REFORMS
 ARE COMING ABOUT
Liberal Views Toward Women
 One Of Chief Changes

Angora, March 14 tBy the Asso
 ciated Press)--Onc of the most laud
 able aims of the nationalist regime ir
 Turkey is to emancipate the Turkish
 women, who enjoy none of the free. dom or privileges accorded other
 women of the world. The foremost opponents of women's rights in Tur- key are Halliday Edibe Hanum. q graduate of the American Girls col. lege at constantinople and Mme Renal Pasha. the pretty 10 year old bride of Mustapha Renal Pasha. Two Sons in U. S.
 Halliday Edibc Hanum is already known in the United States for her work as head of tho Angora ministry of education and for her advocacy of more rational customs affecting Mos- lem women. Two of her sons are students at Ann Arbor, Mich. Dresses A Ia 1923 But Mime. Kemal Pasha Is a new element in Turkish civic and political life. Angora got it's first glimpse of the young reformer when she re- turned from Smyrna with her bril- liant husband. Her sister Moham- medans lifted their sombre veils in amazement as they saw her step from the train dressed as a man with rid ing brooches, high boots, spurs and a jaunty outing cap. It was evident that from the moment of her arrival she wished 1t to be emphasized that Mustapha Renal Pasha, in his cam paign for the emancipation of Turk ish women, can count upon the full and active support of his wife. .
 It is not likely that Turkish women will discard their black skirts and shawls and their impenetrable veis for the unconventional masculine at- tire of Mme. Kemal but it is certain that her advent will modify or great ly curtail the restrictions and obse- lete customs prescribed for the wom- en of Turkey by Mahomet. Mime. Renal insists that the rules of con- duct and dress prescribed by the stern founder of the Mohammedan faith centuries ago arc not tenable today.
 Were Kept in SccIusion
 Before the inception of the nation alist movement. Turkish women were kept in the closest seclusion and were forbidden by their men to visit friends. dance or appear in public. Their literature consisted of a cook book and Koran. If they ever glanced at man in pubic they were chastized by their husbands. The severest order of nuns could not have led more restrained lives.
 But with the growth Of the new Turkey all this is changing. Turk ish women gradually are being re- leased from their domestic bondage and now and then are getting a glimpse of real life. They now appear on the streets and in places of enter tainment.
 The modern Moslem woman insists that her husband shall have only one wife instead of three or four as for merly.
