BRITISH LABOR
 IS HARD HIT BY
 ELECTION COSTS
Possibility of Victory Dimmed By
 Drain Due to Coalition of Liberal Wings.

LondonN Dec I.-The possibility of Ia Labor victory in the coming general elections has been somewhat darken- ed by the reuniting of the~two wings of the Liberal party. This is the opinion of a majority of the political writers of England The effect is ex- pected to be felt principally in Scot
 land, where the Liberal party for many generations has derived much support and which normally can be expected to go into the Liberal camp, The split in the party at the last cleo ton brought opposing Liberal cand1- dates into the field in many cases and allowed the Labor candidate to be elected The Liberal party.as unit lost thousands of votes in the city dis tricts of Scotland which 1t Is expected to regain with united front and a free trade platform.
 ! The Labor party at the last election won 30 Scottish seats, as compared with 27 Liberal and I6 Conservative,
 but i'll 20 of their victories they boiled minority vote:
 Somewhat the same condition exists I iii the provincial districts of England,
 where the Labor party at the last
 election won 40 out of the Io3 seats,
 in most of which the Laborites were
 opposed by Liberals. The finances of the Labor party and
 trade unions have been badly drained
 through unemployment and the last
 election left their coffers almost emp
 ty Labor headquarters announces
 that the party will have more than
 400 candidates, which is about the
 same number as in the last election | The party officials are confident of
 carrying at least 100 of the seats they
 now hold without great egort. All
 the party leaders will contest their lpresent seats
 I Forty or more women candidates | are expected to contest seats III the coming general elections. The nomi-
 nations have not yet been made, but 1 IS womeng candidates have already been announced The list is headed by l Lady Astor, present conservative can
 didate for Plymouth, and Mrs. Win l tringham, Liberal.
 The list contains many other prom1- 1 nent names, including the Duchess of
 Atholl, who.is expected to be Con servative candidate for kinross. Lady l Irene Curzon, daughter of the secre- tary for foreign affairs ,and Lady Bar
 low, wife of Sir Montague Barlow
 minister of health, both prominentain | feminine activities, are expected to | become candidates.

WEST VIRGINIA COAL OPERATORS SUFFER BAD DEFEAT AS ACCUSED
 MINERS WIN CHANGE OF VENUE

been employed as a deputy sheriff in Logan county, under Sheriff Don Chain, and that upon relinquishing this position, he became the enploye of the coal operators to continue the work which he had previously per formed as a deputy for the sheriff:
 Scott further testified that in his capacity as an employe of the Logan coal operators he had paid money to Sheriff L. L. Graybeal, of Greenbrier county, in connection with the prose cution and conviction of Howard Harrah, foreman of the jury in trial of Blizzard in that county last June.
 This jury failed to agree upon a verdict. Shortly afterward, agents of the sheriff's office made af1davits that admissions had been gained from Harrah that he had received $7oo for his attitude in the jury room. Harrah had been candidate for sheriff against Sheriff Graybeal in the coming election. and his success was confidently predicted before the bribery charge was made against him. Friends of Harrah allege a "frame-up" for political purposes against him by agents of the sheriff's office.
 The defendants represented to Judge Sharp that because of the hos tile attitude of Sheriff Graybeal, and other individuals in Greenbrier coun- ty, fair and impartial trial could not be had there Judge Sharp after an independent investigation of his own, directed the removal of the cases to Fayette county.
 The indictments against Keeney, Mooney and Blizzard are in the 1den- tical position today that they were two and half years ago when they were first returned by grand jury in Logan county On five different occasions, in the courts of three diff ferent counties, the Logan operators have made determined efforts to bring about the conviction of one or all of these men. In each 1n- stance they have met with signal de feat, and with no progress to their credit since the indictments were re turned in Logan county with the ex- ception of an acquitta1 of Blizzard on a charge of treason, and Keeney on a charge of accessory to murder.
 About $40 men were indicted in Logan county, but the efforts of the operators have been concentrated on the single aim of convicting and inn prisoning the three officials of the district union. The cases will be called up in Fayette county to be set for trial There is small likeli- hood that another trial will take place before the spring or early sum- mer The United Mine Workers probably have a greater number ot bona hde members in Fayette coun- ty than in any other county in the southern half of West Virginia.

 Lewisburg, w. Va, Dec. I.-Coal operators of Logan county, banked behind the prosecution of Frank kee- ney, Fred Moone wand William Biz gard, officials of District Y, United Mine Workers of America, have suf- fered overwhelming defeat in their fourth attempt to secure convictions in connection with the spontaneous uprising of coal miners in this state two and half years ago. Judge Samuel H. Sharp, of the criminal court of Greenbrier county, has ter minated the move to start trial ot the district officials here by trans ferring them to Fayette county in this state.
 The action of Judge Sharp is in accordance with a motion made by the defendants for a change of venue when their cases were called to trial in the Lewisburg court. The defend ants asserted that they could not se- cure a fair and impartial trial in Greenbrier county, primarily because of thousands of circulars containing reprints of rabid and violent anti union propaganda from Industrial Progress" a publication at Washing ton, D. C., which had flooded the county This publication is asserted to be the organ of the National As sociation of Manufacturers for carry ing on an anti-union and "open shop" campaign in the United States.
 Judge Sharp took cognizance of these documents by directing that the indictments against Keeney, Mooney and Blizzard, pending for more than two years in various coun- ties of the state be removed to an- other county for trial
 Preliminary motions made to Nthe court as the cases were called to Trial was attended by sensational, develop ments, one of the chief of which was the admission on the witness stand of J. A. Scott, of Pikeville, Ky, that he is the hired agent of the Logan Coal Operators Association for secur- ing witnesses and evidence against the indicted officials of the union. Scott admitted that while he was a bona fide resident of Kentucky he had

Busses For Railroads
 Favored By Business

Washington, Dec Linking an or ganized motor transport with the na- tion's railroads in the development of a countrywide system of transportation is suggested by a committee selected by the chamber of commerce of the United States.
 It is proposed to make sweeping changes in the handling and distribution of freight Store door collection and delivery to relieve congestion within the crowded terminal areas of large cities, use of organized and responsible motor transport to relieve the railroads of va rious forms of uneconomical service, in- cluding the improbable short haul, the wider use of self-propelled railway cars and the extension of passenger bus ser vice to supplement existing facilities are recommended.
 To pave the way for these changes it is suggested to regulate common car rier operation of motor vehicles by the federal and state commissions, and the systematic development of highways Ill response to general traffic needs.

Hope For Disabled Workers

nomically useful, every other worker enjoys certain eco homie relief because of their continued usefulness, and the unfortunate worker and his family are not subjected to the privations due to inadequate state, society, and personal in surance, and they are relieved of the distress which accom- panies institutional care.
 This book is important for those who are concerned in all directions with the problems, opportunities, and welfare of the people. It is a book of hope. It shows that the man or child crippled because of nervous dis ease or injury need not be en- tirely dependent, but that he may be rehabilitated and re- main a respectable and self-re- specting member of his com munity.
 Although primarily written for those who are concerned with the problem of re-educa- lion it can be read with profit by the 1ayman, who will find in it much that can be applied to other daily problems. The chapters on habits are especially to be recommended.
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-12-01

A book on Re-education has recently been issued by the Macmillan Company. It was written by Dr. Shepherd l. Franz, who is director of the laboratories at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D. C. The book is of great importance to the disabled men in industry as we'll as the disabled soldiers of the World War.
 The number of soldiers dis abled during the recent war totaled 264, ,ooo, while statistics show that the number of work CTS disabled in industry is ESQ., GOO. One can realize the chances the laborers take in factories, on the railroads and other industries when the total is greater than all the disabled veterans in the American Army.
 All progressive people must be interested in the general wel1-being of workers, not only in wage and hour schedules, in surance and compensation for injuries, but also in the reten- ton of the crippled workers in some kind of occupation. If the crippled and handicapped are trained and made eco-

Seven hundred and seventy-hve certificates were issued to children under 10 years of age, permitting them to be- come wage earners In September a year ago only 488 such certificates were issued To date this year there have been about 1000 employment certificates issued, against I,582 for the entire year of 1922.

BRITISH SEAMEN'S
 ORGAN FLAYS THE COMMUNISTS EFFORT
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 London, Dec I.-The Seaman, official organ of the National Sailors and Firemen's, Cooks and Stewards Union of Great Britain and Ireland, declares editorially that happenings at the American Federation of Labor convention show that the trade unions of America do not intend any longer to tolerate enemies within their ranks.
 The Seaman says that 1t entirely agrees with the actions of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and that a man has a perfect right to be com munist, socialist, liberal or tory.
 What we cannot understand, continues The Seaman, is why com munists should endeavor to get into the ranks of the Labo rparty or trade unions because their declared opln- ions of trade unions and the Labor party Is very poor one, according to their own accounts.
 First they declare that trade unions are chloroforrning institutions which believe in the policy of col 1 lective bargaining Do not all trade unions state in their constitutions that the principal aims and objects of trade unions are to meet the em- blowers, and to faithfully represent the views of the majority of their members?
 Now, if the communists say that these principles are wrong, why do l they want to become trade un1On1sts 1 Would 1t not be. better for them, Ii they are so opposed to collective bar gaining, etc, to form a trade union of their own with their own constr tuition which should be founded on the declarations they make of the aims and objects of their cause? Anyone who knows anything about communists knows that this IS not the idea of the communist party They seek admission to trade unions for one purpose only ahd that IS to disrupt,
 "In the same manner they en- deavor to worm their way into the Labor party conferences, although they are opposed to the Labor party policy and program which Is not wllo enough to suit their ideas.
 "We ask them why do they not
 stick to their own policy and pro.
 gram, and we venture to say that Ii
 their policy is right they will triumph
 But the communists see quite clearly
 that the great majority of the wbrk
 CTS, whether in unions or not, have
 no sympathy with the communis
 program
 Let the communists who do no
 believe in the aims and objects O
 trade unions go their own way ane
 leave the trade unions to work ou
 their own salvation"
