GARYISM is SCORED
AND APPROVED BY
EVERY CHURCH MAN

Washington.-Church men OF all
creeds are united in opposition TO
Judge Gary's letter to the rresident
that the 12-hour day will be abolished
when there is a surplus of labor.
Without exception the c,eEgymen
and laity oppose the steel trusts ex-
cuse for perpetuating the long work
day. In not a single instance can the
trust point to one friend among the
church men.
The church mems position Is illus
trated by this statement by the de-.
partment of social action, national
Catholic welfare council:
This statement (by Judge Gary
assumes that even if common labor
in the steel mills get good wages, an
eight-hour day and decent working
conditions, the steel industry will still
have to depend on new immigrants
and negroes brought up from the cot
ton fields to do its work
at also assumes that men working
an eight-hour day will work at no
higher efficiency than men working a
I2-hour day, and that the steel com
nanies intend to get the same high
profits, store up the same SURPRISES
and not increase the efficiency of the
management"

COURT MULCTS TYPOS
WOULDN'T BREAK STRIKE

Seattle. - The Washington state
federation of labor has asked officers
of the Seattle Typographical union
to submit a report of a recent decis-
ion against the union by the state
supreme court to the state convention
of the federation at Bellingham.
The supreme court upheld the claim
of the Pacific typesetting company for
$4,000.
This company had contract with
the union when the 44-hour strike
started. In violation Of that agree
ment the company began filling
orders from anti-union concerns.
Refusal to desist resulted in the I'M
ion ordering its members from the
plant. The company started suit for
sec, 900 damages, but the superior
court of King county threw the case
out of court. The state supreme
court has remanded the case back TO
the superior court for retrial.

MINERS PENALIZED
BY COAL COMMISSION;
EMPLOYERS ESCAPE

Washington.-sReal penalties Tor
the miners, phantom penalties for the
operators, seem tosbe the outstanding
feature in the program favored by the
federal coal commission for dealing
with a suspension of production In
the anthracite coal industry" said
President Gompers in commenting on
the preliminary report Of the United
States coal commission.
ut Is plain to see that Of ali the
bright minds on the committee, not
one was a representative Of the coal
miners" said President Gompers. IF
there had been a single representative
of the men who actually produce an.
thracite coal, the commission would
scarcely nave recommended that the
president be given full power TO fix
wages e. be paid workers In the event
of suspension of mining operations.
ANY attempt TO outlaw the right
to stop work as means Of improving
the condition of the working people
of the United States is doomed to
fail. Such attempts have failed in
the past and will be equally unsuc-
cessful In the future. Labor will
never give up the right to strike as
a last resort In the fight against
wrong and oppression.
"The very fact that the commission
found that anthracite operators are
receiving nearly three times as large
a profit as before the war Is strong
argument against any attempt to
force the miners to remain at work,
year in and year out, regardless Of
the attitude of the mine owners. A
public that will permit the operators
10 fatten at the expense of the miners
deserves little sympathy in the event
of q cessation of coal mining, because
If 1t will insist on fair play for the
miners there is no danger Of their
striking.
"On the whole, the report can not
be considered as constructive, though
the commissions recognition that coal
is a public utility is step in advance.
So also are the recommendations that
anthracite dealers be compelled by
congress to make current reports TO
the federal government regarding
costs, prices and profits in order to
protect the public and that operators
should combine to guarantee a stand
ard quality of anthracite for the con-
sumer."

WOMEN need SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con.
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, . physician's pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

SAFEGUARDING OUR
CONSTITUTION
BY A. BLOOMFIELD,
Conductor on the Chicago and North
Western Railway.

Conductor on the Chicago and North
Western Railway.
At the second annual banquet Of the
Pennsylvania System Veteran EN-
ployes' Association, a member Of the
Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania, the
Hon. William /. Schaffer, spoke on "a
Proposed Change in Government" He
said in part that a proposition was
being advanced by some '"That there
shall be denied to the Supreme Court
Of the United States the power which
II has always exercised to declare
whether or not Acts Of Congress are
In consonance with the Constitution |;
whether that power shall be taken
away from the Court and lodged in
Congress, without appeal, or whether
II shall remain as 1t has remained
since the foundation of the Govern
ment, with the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
This proposition-and It concerns
everyone who is here, 1t concerns your
children, and your children's children
advanced by a powerful group Of
men, championed by at least one
United States Senator, Is, that when
an act Of Congress shall have been
passed and shall be declared to be I'M
constitutional by the Supreme Court
Of the United States, If 1t shall be
passed again by Congress, then the
Supreme Court Of the United States
shall be without power to declare 1t
unconstitutional, and 1t shall be the
Law Of the land.
THAT Is to say-when that PROPOSE
ton comes to be finally analysed, 1t
amounts to this-that Congress shall
be supreme and without restraint, and
that means that there shall be wrought
a change in the Government Of this
nation greater than any that was ever
proposed In its history"
Justice Schaffer undoubtedly found
in talking to railway employees a most
sympathetic audience, for they gener.
ally are familiar with the manner In
which their brotherhoods are organ
lied and the respect which Is paid to
the constitution Of such organizations.
Railway brotherhoods never delegate
to their representatives, who occupy
the same position with them as does
Congress with the people, as a whole,
the power to In any way infringe upon
the rights Of their constitution and
bylaws. The entire membership Of a
railway brotherhood, approaching the
safeguards which their constitution
and bylaws throw around their organ
ization, reserve to the entire member
ship the right to make changes or al
terations or amendments. No group
Of men in the United States will be
any quicker to see the 'fallacy Of ar
guments presented for handing over to
our representatives in Washington ~un-
limited power and authority.
We know that for the practical
working out Of governmental affairs
we must place certain amount of
authority in the hands Of those who
are to represent US, but we do not
intend to hand over all authority with
out any check or restraint. We will
let the constitution stand as 1t Is, and
II there are any changes to be made,
we will attend to the making Of them
ourselves Adyertisement.
