ROCK SPRINGS. wyo.. July IA
Paul wycoe. n RoumanIan. AZ years
of age, will be dismissed from the hos
pital after coming as near to death an
one could wish.
Wycoe was working on an extra
gang west of Green River and decided
to come to Rock Springs, Monday to
secure other employment. He had Just
stepped off train No. 10 and appar-
emily thinking that the freight house
was on the north side of the track
had passed in front of the waiting
train. Finding his mistake he at
tempted to recross the tracks just as
the train started eastward. He must
have miscalculated the speed of the
train, for he was hit by the cowcatch-
er and dragged ah,ut five feet. The
engineer noticed the mans predica-
ment and made a very quick stop.
The injured man was picked up and
hurried to the hospital. where it was
found that his injuries were but
slight. with no broken bones He
sustained a scalp wound and a few
scratches.

WAR CONSUMPTION OF
WEALTH

The Republican Publicity asso-
citation. through its president, takes
issue with those who assert that
President Harding's proposal for
CONSUMPTION of wealth in time OF
war would be inviolation of the
constitution. After quoting from
the presidents Memorial day ad-
dress, the association quotes the
following from the Denver address
81 want to tell you If ever there is
another war we will do more than
draft the boys. If I have anything
to do with il. we will draft every
dollar and every other essential
Concerning this the association
says:
president Harding believes that
our material wealth, as well as our
wealth in man power, should be
made to perform its part in the
defense Of the nation. When we
consider the conditions Of the
World war, when our young men
were drafted and sent to the front
to face unheard of perils for a
compensation of sac a month, while
our wealth and civil labor were
left free to reap all the huge profits
that the emergency made possible
il is a wonder that anybody ran be
found who will dispute the inherent
Justice Of the presidents proposal
''Yet there are those who take
execution to the conscription OF
wealth. Their criticisms Of Presi'
dent Harding for its advocacy are
directed not so much at the merits
of the suggestion as at what they
consider the im~possibility OF Its
realization under the constitution
They charge the president with urg.
ing n violation of the fundamental
law. and assert that wealth can not
be drafted unless the constitution
is amended. The public mind should
be freed Of any such doubts.
1.-THE Fifth amendment to the
constitution covers the case COM
pletely. It reads in part as follows:
NO person shall be de-
prived Of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law nor
shall private property be taken
for public use, without Just com,
pensation.' II follows that life and
property may be taken with due
process Of law, provided just com
p~ensation is paid for the property
80 taken. Furthermore, the CON
Stitution was established, among
other things, to provide for the
common defense and to that end
congress was specifically author,
ICED 70 raise and support armies. "

TWELVE-HOUR A


President Harding has obtained q
promise from the steel industry Of
ficials that the twelve-hour day will
be abolished.
Chairman Ebert II. Gary Of the
United States Steel Corporation
replying to a letter from President
Harding states: 1--WE are determined
to exert every effort at our COM
mand to secure in tho iron and
steel industry of this country a
total abolition of the twelve hour
day, at the earliest time practi-
cable" at will involve many ad-
justments. some of them compli-
Gated and difficult, but we think
it can be brought about without due
delay, if, as you state it, there is a
surplus Of labor available"
The New York Daily News sent
an investigator into the mills to
work in the guise Of an industrial
ist. He reports: ~ That Mr.
Gary has misrepresented the twelve
hour day and other labor condi-
lions. (2) That the workmen want
conditions changed, but are power
less to protest and hold their Jobs.
(3) That the seven day week has
not been abolished. (4) That the
Corporation with a soul' has a
soul of production only. (b) That
the corporation Is enticing colored
laborers from the south to work in
its mills under false pretensss. (6)
That the corporation controls town
governments and police forces. 90
That vice is widespread in the
labor settlement at Homestead.
The work in the mills is hard at
ordinary hours. Twelve hours are
unthinkable. The work Of most Of
the twelve hour men requires them
to stand in front Of the open doors
of furnaces in a blasting heat a
great part Of the time and behind
the furnaces in almost the same
heat when the furnaces are being
tapped. They are classed as first
helpers. earning 90 cents to 81 an
hour; second helpers, at go cents to
10 cents an hour, and third helpers
at so to go cents an hour, according
Co tonnage produced. The third
helper, einder pitman, has many
duties in common with the first
and second helpers.
The investigator for The News
found that the statement that the
men wanted the twelve hour day is
incorrect. They want to work eight
hours. One hundred and twelve
laborers chosen at random declared
this attitude.
The investigation Of one reporter,
of course, does not constitute
searching arraignment Of the steel
industry; but it Is a very good
weather-vane, pointing up the wind.
If Judge Gary is wise he will not
talk so much Of his shortage Of
labor" What he means by that
phrase very probably is that there
is a shortage of the cheap. ignorant
immigration labor on the exploita-
tion of which the steel industry has
long depended. If decent hours,
decent conditions and decent wages
are provided Judge Gary will find
his Shortage of labor" soon dis
appearing in all probability.

THE DEADLOCK

Both sides have spoken. Great
Britain through Lord Curzon and
the United States through its Treas
ury liquor ruling. The United
States refuses to let any liquor,
sealed or unsealed, enter its ports.
It then asks for the right to search
rum runners within a twelve-mile
limit. Great Britain admits our
right to prevent the entrance of
liquor into our country and refuses
US the right to search within q
twelve mile limit. Both sides have
spoken and both sides are right
and there the matter rests.
But this mutual "rightness," this
final, irrevocable admission of each
others privileges, this business of
taking a fresh start and then rushing
.head-long into the same old wall
all this does us no good. We are
glad that no one is wrong, we are
pleased that there is no hard feel
ing, and we are gratified to have
all sides realize that the other is
right, but the inaneness Of the situa-
ton is thereby unchanged. Right
though all sides may be. they who
use the ships and have to do with
them continue to suffer.
The matter has boiled down to
the fact that while we are justified
and everyone admits that we are
in taking whatever action we
please on foreign ships in our own
waters, our action is not for that
reason polite. Because we have a
right to take an Unnecessary and
preposterous action does not mean
that this action is courteous. And
ours is not mere surface rudeness,

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL

In Jean Richepin's famous novel
"Miarka", the child of the bear, a
film version of which, entitled
"Gypsy Passion" will be shown at
the Capitol Theatre tonight, an i'm
portant part is played by bear
called Pouzzli, who acts as the fos-
ter-mother to Miarka.
This bear was secured after long
search and great difficulty.
II never bothered much about the
BEAR" said Louis Mercanton, the
producer, land never thought much
about the hardship of getting one.
1t was only at the last moment that
l found out that bears, were diff
cult to obtain.
ut appeared that most of them
had been consumed during the war,
bear steak being something of a
delicacy.
"After long search l met little
animal dealer in Belgrade, who,
when he had heard my requirements,
clapped his hands, saying he had
the very thing l wanted, but that /
couldn't see the animal for a day or
two. With this uncertain consola-
tion left the town. Some time af-
ter l remembered, with a sudden
shock, that was still short of a
bear. l wired the dealer for news,
and he wired back to this effect:
Sorry you cannot see bear for sew
eral months, but I have a mapnifi-
cent serpent, three and a half yards
long!'"
The bear finally obtained by Mr..
Mercanton is one of unusual ability.
1t is of the old dancing type and in
one of the big scenes puts up one Of
the most realistic fights ever
screened. He attacks the villain, a
role assumed by Charles Vanel. The
bear takes several bites at Vanel's
arm and the clever actor did not es-
cape without several scratches.
