CONNECTS ARE FLOGGED IN SOUTH CAROLINA
 STATE PRISON

Columbus. S. C., March 9.-Prisoners in the South Carolina state prison are hogged without limit, according to a joint legislative committee which re- ports unbelievable practices at this pen itentary. It is stated that the prison riot III May, last year, was caused by unnecessary harsh punishments The committee said the following forms of punishment arr used
 'Flogging, chaining around the neck or other parts of the body to a bolt in the cell wall, iron manacles on legs or arms or both, stocks (handcuffing to cell door), solitary confinement on bread and water, wearing striped uniforms, and loss of privileges"
 The committee recommends the aboli- tion of all forms of corporal punish ment. It was declared that there is no limit, as far as we can find, to any of these punishments"

AMERICANIZE HAWAII
 BY IMPORTING COOLIES

Washington, March o.-On the ground that 1t wants to rescue Hawai- from the Japs and Americanize these islands, the house immigration com mittee recommends the importation ot 10000 coolies
 A minority report by the commit tee declares that "this resolution is designed to hide the wrong it's pro- ponents want 1t to do"
 "The only purpose hidden in it's in definite phraseology is to import 3o,- 900 to 10000 Chinese coolies to the United States territory of Hawaii to work as peons and serfs in the fields and mills of the sugar manufac turing g corporations and in the abject service of some other associated interests in the territory These interests dom mate the islands industrially and politically.
 "Chinese ntermarry with other coolie and mongrel races freely in Hawaii. Doubtless many of their women will accompany them In any event these 3o,ooo to 10000 Chinese coolies will have many thousand chil- dren born to them in Hawaii, under the flag and under the constitution of the United States. Every one of these children will be entitled to re- main in Hawaii and to come to the United States"

OPPOSE ALIEN FLOW.

New York, March o.-The immigra- ton percentage law principle was in dorsed by Prof Rufus D. Smith, of New York University at the annual meeting of the National Institute of Social Sciences. The speaker urged restriction as a permanent immigra- ton policy for the United States.
 He did not agree, he said, with per sons who want to let down the bars so as to admit a host of unskilled workers. While a temporary short age might prove embarrassing, he said, "such endorsements had al- ways forced improvements on an un- willing world, and, in the long run, had proved beneficial"
 Dr. Charles s. Davenport said that intelligence tests recently applied to immigrants from southern Europe i'm dicate that we are mot taking pains to hand over to our country of the next century population that is cap able of preserving the ideals and maintaining the standards inspired by our forefathers"

ILLINOIS STATE COSSACK SCHEME IS EXPOSED
 BY UNIONIS1

Chicago, March 9.-The Illinois State Federation of Labor will not compromise in it's opposition to the state cossack scheme, writes Victor A. Olander, secretary of the fedora ton, in answer to printed statements that the Illinois chamber of com merce predicts this compromise.
 The trade unionist said that 'the attempt to convince citizens that there
 is nothing involved in this question except a difference of opinion be- tween organized labor and certain or ganizations of employers, is merely the Tapping of the vampire wings by which citizens may be lulled to sleep and thus be easily victimized."
 The cossack bill, said the unionist, has been copied from the Pennsylva- nia law, and that law, according to its packers, has been modelled upon the Royal Irish constabulary, that existed prior to the Irish free state. It is we'll known that the Irish constabu- lary was a political force, said Secre- tary Olander.
 Attention is called to West Virginia where it was found necessary to pass law that the state cossacks could not remain at or near polling places at election time.
 ''In other words, 1t was recognized that statewide highly centralized con trol, which IS part of any state police system, carries with it the power of political control over the citizens"

Bring Administrat@n of Law Closer to% he
 People Says Gov. smith
EVEN PYTHIAN
 KNIGHTS PLACED
 UNDER THE BAN

An open meeting planned by the Guyan Valley Lodge, No. 2II, Knights of Pythia, at Yolhn, Logan county and arrangements for which were made by Attorney General England of the State of West Virginia, has been forbidden by Sheriff Don Chain of Logan County
 The scheduled meeting was can celed because Grand Keeper of Rec ords and Seal Samuel B. Montgom- cry was scheduled to speak in addi- ton to speeches by Attorney General England and Grand Chancellor Harry P. Bell, of Wheeling.
 Samuel B. Montgomery at one time was labor commissioner of West Virginia and in that position bitter ly opposed the reign of terror and oppression which has characterized Sheriff Chahn's administration since the day the coal operators put him in office. Later MT. Montgomery be- came candidate for governor on a platform the main plank of which was "a promise to clean up Logan and Mingo counties and restore law and order in those places, by getting rid of Chain and other tools of the coal operators. It is generally conceded MOHl lSOlllSly Was utlGdl6Q lIllOuS II fraud.
 When the announcement was made two weeks ago that Mr. Montgomery was to speak at the Knights of Py- thias meeting Emperor Chain for bade the delivery of the address. He would permit the attorney general to speak only on condition that Mont gomery be made to keep silent The meeting was then called off.
 Members of the Knights of Pythias who have paid little attention to con- ditions in Logan county, can now gain faint idea of what the miners have had to contend with. A com plere visualization would have been possible if Chain and his deputies had allowed the meeting to assemble, then have shot or clubbed several of the leaders of the Pythians and thrown the remainder in jail. That's the procedure followed when the miners attempt to hold meeting in that county.

power shortage, have been unable to improve their locomotive condition.
 This is in striking contrast to the Baltimore and Ohio, which has shown steady reduction in bad order 1oco- motives since the settlement At the end of the strike on it's lines, October I, the was 446, and on February I it had dropped to 28. 3. The Chesapeake and Ohio dropped from 5o.I per cent to I85 per cent. The New York Central dropped from 37.3 per cent to PIP per cent All settled roads are showing rapid inn provement.
 'The financial statistics show a sim liar result The roads which have not settled have lost millions of dollars of possible profits and are not getting their share of present railroad pros perity. The Lehigh Valley, for in stance, which had a net operating in come of $2o,ooo in the month before the strike, dropped to defct of January, 1923. The New Haven and the Delaware and Hudson both had deficits this January and they, to- gether with the Laekawanna and the Jersey Central, fell millions of dollars behind their net incomes for January year ago, in stsEa of greatly in creased traffic.
 , "In contrast with this, we see the Baltimore and Ohio net income jump ing $2,oS6,ooo this January over last January, and the New York Central making a $oI6,ooo gain over last year
 The cost of railroad autocracy to the public, the shippers and the se- Curity holders Is terrific"

SIMPLIFIED PROCESSES
SIMPLIFIED PROCESSES
 MUCH TO BE DESIRED Litigants Should Not Approach the Bars of Jus tice With Fear and Trembling, But With the Firm Belief That Justice Will
 Be Meted Out.

For some time now the leaders of | thought Tn the labor movement have been calling attention to the fact that the courts were failing, in many in- stances to protect. the interests of the people generally, but seemed prone to look with especial favor on powerful in terests.' For some time these efforts on the part of the workers in the field of organized labor seemed to be without result, but persistence is now reaping its reward. Slowly but surely citizens in the prominent walks of life began to realize the danger threatening and to take action accordingly
 The latest addition to the ranks is Governor Al" Smith of New York. In a recent interview with representa- tive of the New York Sunday World. Gov. Smith expressed the following be- liefs and sentiments as written by Charles Hand, legislative correspondent:
 Governor Smiths move to blast away the barbed-wire maze of techni- calities and verbal obstacles laid down in both civil and criminal courts is gaining favor every day. The Sem ate has passed the resolution creating commission to curb the old legal as umDires while the clients foot the bills: the Assembly is scheduled to ap- prove 1t at an early date, and< the growing sentiment to freshen a re- tarded system is reflected in the fol- lowing discussion of the proposal by the Governor.
 Many people I have known" said Governor Smith, "and all of them good, simple, business people, have become confused, irritated and sub- iected to very considerable loss of time and money because the technical processes of the law, as at present administered, are so complicated and so full of technical procedure that they delay and obscure thes issue rather than go straight to the heart of a question and do justice"
 The commission would name cer- tain legislators, judges and lawyers to revise both the civil and criminal statutes so as -tc lessen the large delays. Governor Smith thinks it would bring "more democracy into if people no longer wis ualized lawsuit or trial as snarl of technical issues, adroit phrases and endless fees, promising no definite assumption of justice in the end.
 Bringing the administration of the law closer to the people," says the
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-03-09
MUCH TO BE DESIRED

Governor, "is making tine government more democratic. Just as the people are participating more and more in the making of the law, and just as they are more and more controlling the instrumentalities of aGministra- tion, and are asking for more respon- sible forms of government, so can our courts come closer to the people.
 When 1 went into the matter somewhat and began to study it I found that there has been a general feeling throughout the country among laymen (and among lawyers and judges as welD that much could be done to simplify these processes of law and to bring them closer to the people. It has been my experience that when people understand the law they obey 1t, and when they believe an injustice has been done them and that injustice continues through very apt to make a rebel out of law abiding citizen.
 "l found very soon upon making some inquiries that not only the State laws but the Federal laws were the subject of complaint. Something Is already being done to start pro- cess of bringing about simplihcation ot court procedures with relation to our Federal laws. Chief Justice Taft, with the cooperation of the Amer lcan Bar Association, has introduced a resolution in Congress to create a commission to be composed of judges and lawyers whose duty 1t shall be to prepare amendments to the pres ent statute and judicial codes tending to the simplihcation of the system of pleading, practice and procedure in the Federal courts so as to promote speedy tern6nation of litigation on the merits
 ITO my knowledge New York is the first state to make a definite effort to place itself in line with modern thought on this subject There is too much mystery shrouding the process ses of the law at the present time The citizen who approaches a lawsuit does so in fear and trembling, with the feeling that he is going into some dark cavern in which he must feel his way about and where everything that happens is beyond the compre- hension of an ordinary mortal, and that 1t takes some very special and
