He is considered an authority on
questions involving human liberty,
taxation and international law. He
established his name in the latter field
in the pious fund cases before The

His first case before the United
States supreme court, as youth, was
for the right of jury trial in police

his last appearance before that court

Herbert Hoover, secretary of com
merce, gave the coal consumers of the
nation piece of good advice when he
urged them to lay in coal supplies
during the summer.
One of the great evils of the Goa
mining industry has been the fiuctha
ton in demand for coal. Long pc
riods of idleness at the mines have
been followed by periods of high pro.
duction, when the best efforts Of the
miners have been unable to keep uE
with the demand.
By spreading the demand for Goa
more evenly over the months of the
year, more regular work for the min.
ers is assured. Regular work for the
men who dig coal would mean the
solving of a big problem in the coal
industry and would be Of tremendous
benefit to the nation and industry as
whole. AS Mr.. Hoover says:
"We have a national problem in
securing cheaper coal by maintaining
more regularity in the production OF
our coal mines by planning out its
seasonal fluctuations. This can only
be brought about if the coal consum-
ers are willing to stor.' coal during
the low production season"
Aside from the question of keep
ing coal labor regularly employed, Mr..
Hoover pointed out that buying Of

Health, Experts Decide

New York.-Physicians and indus

tion with the state labor department,
are arranging to study hygienic con-
ditions in industry. DR.. w. Gilman
Thompson is chairman of an organ

Everywhere we see indications
that both employers and workers are
becoming keenly alive to the reaction
of conditions of environment upon
production.
"There is an increasing variety Of
chemical substances used in the arts
and manufactures which possess
more or less toxic hazard for those
who come in close contact with them
Moreover, recent scientific studies of
general working conditions, sucha as
fatigue, ventilation, and local tenn
perature, have emphasized the impor-
tant economic relationship which
these conditions bear to output in
manufacture.
"Quite recently the state, through
Legislation, has indorsed the principle
that the worker who is seriously in
capacitated through the handling of
poisonous substances, such as lead, for
example, is just as worthy of compen-
sation by his employer who has failed
to protect him adequately, as if he
had received some surgical accident
through similar neglect to provide
proper precautions against it.
'This principle has long been rec
ognized in England and in other for
eign countries, and it's recent adop-
tion by the state of New York has
led to legislation declaring that 10 oc-
cupational diseases are compensate.

CUTTING THE POLICE FORCE


Mayor Howard Kelly and Safety
Director Joseph B. Meyers sure have
been swinging the axe in the local
police department during the past
week, and from all reports they are
going to swing it some more. What
the Press can't understand is, if some
had to go, why is it necessary that
SO many of the old men in the service
had to be the first to be laid off
men who by reason of the long time
they have put in on the police force
practically unfit themselves for any
thing else? Why couldn't some of
the newer men, the younger fellows,
been laid off first? What is behind
this seeming discrimination? There
seems to be a gentleman of dark hue
in the woodpile somewhere in the pro-
ceedlngs. Is it possible that some of
these old members of the police are
never again to see the department in
the nature of employees?
Why is it necessary that any mem
bers of the force be laid off at all :?
Why couldn't there be an advance
drawing on the June taxes as has been
done in the past for many years i? It
would seem that it is up to the CITY
officials to keep the city departments
running without laying off any of the
employees.
Some time ago Mayor Kelly said
that if the police and firemen were
to be kept on the job the citizens
would have to make up fund for
expenses. Mayor Kelly seems to
have wrong conception of the duties
of his job The citizens don't elect
mayor to have him make sugges-
tions. They put him in office and
expect him to do things. If the citi-
zens have to make up a fund it is up
to the mayor to make the collection.
Would Mayor Kelly expect that the
citizens raise fund, place it in his
hands and say, Here is money, now
go ahead and do something"
Surely not Any SO a week man
could run things if you put the tools
and money in his hands and told him
what to do with them. 1t is up to
Mayor Kelly and his assistants to
solve the city's financial problems.
Former mayor, Harry j. Koehler, Jr.,
when placed in the same e-hole, slapped
on the occupational tax. True, there
was some growing on the part of
some of the payers, but it went
through all right and the various city
departments functioned. And so it is
right now. 1t is up to Mayor Kelly
to scheme some way to get funds. If
his honor will go at it and pre-
sent some plan for raising money he,
no doubt, will find the citizens ready
to meet him more than half way in
paying it. But he will also find that
the citizens will not act as collectors.
No one is blaming Mayor Kelly for
the shortage of funds in the city
treasury, as the same situation exists
in every city in the state. However,
the citizens do look to the mayor to
solve the financial problems Of the
city, but by other means than laying
off the employees.

SIX-DAY WEEK FOR FIvE-DAY
WAGES

A correspondent writes the Journal
that we have five-day week but in
a sense that the average wage-earner
or even citizen does not fully realize
This correspondent says that he has
five days in which to labor for the
support of himself and his family.
He says he labors the sixth day to
support the government. In other
words, in the five days he must pro-
duce enough to earn maintenance for
the seven days of each week.
This is readily apparent from the
So 5000, 100000 of taxes which are
paid for federal, state and municipal
purposes, equal to about one-sixth of
the total increment of wealth in a
year. From another point of view,
one-sixth is probably less than the
amount Oh lT0 ldDOT lie gives W Ulc
government Prices are raised indi-
rectly far more than the share which
goes to the government, by the inter
est and expenses collected on that
sum every time the impost is passed
from one to another until it reaches
the ultimate consumer. The only way
to give the worker the product of
more than five days of his labor per
week is to reduce taxes. Tax reduc-
ton is the purpose of budget reform,
so much talked and written about
these days, but along which ines too
little is done.-Bricklaye

goes on strike, whatever the final
result may be, he makes a sacrifice
of a part of his life. His commod-

labor; and that part of his irreplen-

the period of the strike, spoils upon
his hands and is lost to him beyond
recall. The necessaries of life for
himself and his family, his hope of
making himself independent for his
