COAL SHORTAGE
Changed to West Virginia
Railroad

Washington.-ln its refusal to per-
nit the Virginian railroad to build a
spur into new mine properties, the
interstate commerce commission
shows how this railroad has failed to
transport coal. This carrier is known
as "coal road" and the spur would
cost only $4,000, but the commits
sion said:
"The applicant is not now, nor has
it in the past, been able to furnish
the number of cars ordered by the
mines already opened and dependent
upon it in whole or in part for coal
supply. During the weekly periods
from July %, 1922, to June 8, 1928,
it in no instance furnished cars in ex-
cess of "a per cent of those required,
and during only six weeks was the
average percentage in excess of 70
per cent. For % weeks of the above
period the cars furnished the mines
were less than SO per cent of the re-
quirements.
'The opening of new mines would
not, therefore, increase the coal sup
ply; in fact, it would reduce it unless
the applicants car supply was great
ly increased"

VERY SMOOTH
Wall Street Journal Warps
Public Opinion

New York.-In defending the Penn
sylvania railroad against the railroad
labor board, the Wall Street Journal
says:
GAS constituted in the transporta-
tion act, the labor board was body
of a conciliatory nature, without
powers to enforce it's decisions ex-
pressly designed to pass only upon
railroad labor disputes when submit
ted to it. Observe the growth of
bureaucracy. 1t now aspires to be a
court with full police backing and to
be at once judge, jury and execu-
toner. This alone would be suffi-
GENTLY wild extension of the powers
granted in the Esch- -Cummins act, but
this self-constituted labor court goes
further. 1t will not only provide the
verdict and the sentence. 1t will pro-
vide the case If there is no dispute
between the Pennsylvania railroad
and the employees, the labor board
claims the right to make one"
And this from a publication that
poses as an economic authority and
considers itself qualified to lecture
and advise the organized workers!
There was a dispute between the
railroad and a considerable number
of its employees who were refused the
right to select their own representa-
tives. The railroad labor board in
sists that the railroad permit en-
ployes to select their own represen-
tatives. The railroad refuses and the
Wall Street Journal comes to its de-
fense with an amazing array of mis-
| statements.

MOOSE ALL READY
For Big TrState Exposition Which Opens It's Gates To
The Public Saturday Nght-Many Big Features

"All ready, and we extend cordial
invitation to everyone in the city and
vicinity to be our guest at the big
Tri-State Exposition during the next
seven days." says Hamilton Lodge,
Loyal Order Moose, in this manner
announcing the opening and readiness
to receive the public at the big expo
sition at Moose temple grounds and
palm garden, South Second street.
The Tri-State Exposition of the Moose
has been we'll advertised and talked
about and looked forward to for many
weeks, and there isn't any doubt but
that great crowds will attend each
night
The local lodge of Moose, by reason
Of its annual big show, has become
well experienced in conducting these
affairs, and the committees in charge
have come to know how to conduct
them in the best manner, how to Sc
lect and get the best entertaining
features, and the public is benefited
thereby.
Anyone having visited the expo
sition site and having gone over the
list of attractions secured, may read
lily know that this years is to be
easily the best ever and will outshine
all former attempts by far. Every
little detail of the elaborate plan laid
out in the beginning has been worked
out and everything that could possi-
! bly, be thought of that would add to
the bigness of the immense venture
has been done The committee of
forty two members, divided into sub
committees, has been working for
months patiently and earnestly that
everything might be in apple pie
order on the opening night, and they
announce that everything is set to
open in a blaze of glory.
The merchants and manufacturers
are showing quite an interest in the
affair, and many have secured booths
for the display of their wares and pro-
ducts. The first floor of the palm
garden has been cemented over, and
it is here where the booths for those
making exhibits have been erected
On the upper floor of the palm garden
will be many pretty booths, containing
everything from good things to eat
and drink to prizes of every descrip-
ton.

LIE IS NAILED
Canadian Employers Labor
Shortage Cry Silenced
By Unions

Toronto, Ontario.-Represen
of the Canadian Building Trades
Unions have protested to the domin-
ion minister of labor against the gov
ernment inducing immigrant build
ing trades mechanics to come to Can
ada to fill rush hour jobs" for three
months in the year at the most.
This protest follows the collapse of
joint movement of workers and en-
ployers to survey the apprenticeship
question and the alleged need for
building trades immigrants. Govern
ment agencies were also interested in
the survey.
A QUESTIONABLE was sent to the
building trades unions and to contrac-
tors and builders in Canada. The lat
ter practically ignored the request for
facts, and second appeal was for
warded them. This brought replies
from 200 of the 800 contractors and
builders, or from 81 per cent.
Representatives of the contractors
| then insisted that the information
they secured should be the basis of a
report drawn by themselves, but the
trade union representatives insisted
that both parties submit joint re-
port, based on the replies from unions
and contractors. This difference re-
suited in the unions writing the min
lister of labor.
"The object of the questionable

BECAUSE OF STRIKES
Workers Suffer Most, Says
Australian Labor Paper

Sydney, New South Wales, Aus
tralia.-"For no one is strike so
unpleasant as for the strikers them
selves; they suffer by it far more
than anybody else," says the Aus
tralian Worker.
"The strike darkens the homes of
workers-drives the sunshine out of
doors, puts the shadow of care into
the wives eyes, and the pallor of
want into their cheeks, and threatens
injury to the children, lovingly as
they are guarded.
IF you are told that strike has
been forced by a handful of hot
headed militants, or by truculent
union leaders, you may dismiss the
allegation with contempt"
The labor paper makes this COM
ment in connection with the strike
in the Maitland coal fields, which was
caused by coal owners discharging
representatives of miners who pro-
tested against poor working condi-
tions.
"This strike is cruel thing for the
miners and their families" said the
labor editor. ''It means actual hun
ger for many of them, privation for
them ALT means going short, sink
ing into debt, losing their bits OF
goods, getting into difficulties thai
will keep them on the breadline fol
long months after the strike is over

vital spot. A temporary stoppage Of
profits is the worst that befalls them

BLAME COURTS FOR
TOO MANY LAWS

Chicago.-Too many court deci-
sions, rather than too many laws, is
the trouble with this state, says Sec
retary-Treasurer Olander, of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor.
''The truth of the matter is that the
surplus of laws is due entirely to a
process of unwarranted law making
which the courts have indulged in for
many years." said the trade unionist.
"All the statute laws now effective
as enacted by all of the SO legislatures
of Illinois during the past century are
printed within the covers of a single
volume Does that volume contain
the laws which govern the people of
Illinois ? Any person who is even
casually familiar with legal problems
will smile at the question.
Where, then, is the great mass OF
law to be found? To make the dis
covery many thousands of volumes
containing court decisions must be
examined, and then it will be found
that too many laws is a condition
for which the courts alone are re.
sponsible. Indeed, great number Of
the statutes enacted by the legisla.
lures were made necessary in order
to undo the bungling of the judges.
Whenever the people of Illinois OF
any other state desire some legisla
tive action their representatives must
turn to the judges for permission be-
fore undertaking to legislate. The
entire nation is being entangled in &
web of legalism now so involved that
not even the best informed and most
experienced lawyer can understand
its intricacies."
