The Editors Dream.

The editor, after working over
his list of delinquent subscribers
until he was weary, fell asleep. He
dreamed that he was boy again
back in the district school; that
they were having an entertain
ment, and that his part was to re
cite "The Old Oaken Bucket"
When it came his turn he spoke
out in his sleep and here is what
his stenographer heard him say:
How edar to my heart is the
steady subscriber.
Who pays in advance at the birth
of the year;
Vino lays down the money and
does it quite gladly,
And casts round the office a halo
of cheer.
He never says Stop it; | can't
afford it;
L III SeVllhS luoie HldSdlhcH INV
than | can read !"
But always says: Send it like
it; read it,;
The fact is | think it a help and a
need"
How welcome his check when it
reaches my sanctum,
How it makes my pulse throb,
How it makes my heart dancel
| outwardly thank him, | inward
ly bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in
advance.
Selected.

Soviet Secretary
In Poland Wounded
By Unknown Shooter

WARSAW. Poland, July 1b.-The
secretary of the Soviet embassy,
Koweckij, was wounded by bullet
shot at him. The bourgeois papers
claim that the shooting was the re
suit of a quarrel in the street" No
accurate details of the shooting are
allowed to be given out by the Polish
government.
That the attempted assassination Of
Koweckij took place Just a few days
after the socialist traitor Daszynsh
had made an imperialistic speech in
the Polish parliament, criticizing the
government and the foreign minister,
Zamojski, for taking too friendly an
attitude toward Soviet Russia.
Poland is overrun with counter-rev-
olutionists. who would seize upon the
least provocation to commit violence
against any one representing the So
viets. In Warsaw alone there are, hun
dreds of Russian emigres, many of

Minnesota Prof Goes
Blindly Patriotic in
Praise of Ku Kluxers
BY CARL coWL

Especial to the DAILY WORKER)
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 15.-
There are professors and professors,
but the 4th of July address of professor
Dean Kelly of the University of Min
nesota takes the cake.
The members of the Ku Klux Khan,
he says, are 80 per cent honest. They
believe that law can accomplish very
little in advancing the true interests
Of this country; That what this coun-
try needs is an organization, such as
the Khan, to safeguard the interests Of
this country. The spirit of July 4th,
is not the accomplishment of public
measures by law but by public action.
Here he read from the Boston
Gazette" of March 5, ITO, Of how the
consumers Of New England organized
and boycotted Maritime Merchants
who handled English goods under tax.
He showed how the New English
took the law into their hands and did
violence to those who supported the
mother country, England. Then the
public opinion" was the revolutionary
supreme act of violence and organized
war itself. He wound up by pointing
to the necessity for an organization ex-
pressing and executing the will of the
public where law is insufficient to do
so.
All this by professor Of the Uni
versity OF Minnesota at 4th of July
convocation TO University students.

CORONADO SUIT
WON BY MINERS
AGAINST DAVIS
Court Finally Squashes
$2,2OO,OOO Case
BY MARTIN A. DILLMoN
tolerated Press Staff Correspondent

Moderated Press Staff Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, July 15.-The Coronado
Coal Co. goes down to final defeat in
it's suit against the United Mine
Workers Of America. The U. S. cir
cult court Of appeals has. denied the
appeal of the coal company and sus-
tanned District Judge Pollock, Fort
Smith, Ark, who found in favor of
the union in the coal company's suit
for damages aggregating $2,200,000.
This was the suit in which Candi-
date Davis Of the Democrats helped
the corporation.
In the suit of the company sought
to recover damages as a result Of a
miners strike in the Hartford valley
fields, Ark, in 1914. 1t contended that
the miners union had entered into
a conspiracy to interfere with inter-
state shipment of coal mined by non
union labor. The company further al
legged the union miners had caused
disturbances to intimidate the strike
breakers. The case was tried several
times, in one of which the plaintiff
won verdict for 100000.
Lost In Earlier Trials.
The Miners union appealed the
verdict and the circuit court of ap-
peals sustained all rulings Of the low
er court except question of inter-
est on the part of the United Mine
Workers of America, the union hold
ing that the situation was a local
affair in which it had merely pass
ing interest. The suit then was taken
to the supreme court, where the low
er courts were reversed and the case
remanded for retrial.
At second trial Judge Pollock,
October %, 1923, held with the union
that the coal company had not estab-
lished jurisdiction under the Sherman
law. He contended that the company
failed to prove that the u. M. w. A.
had entered conspiracy to interfere
with interstate shipments. The court
further held that the mining of coal
is not interstate commerce, and the
fact that the coal might be shipped
later as interstate commerce did not
alter the situation.
The appellate court orders retrial
Of similar case brought against the
union miners by the Pennsylvania
Mining Co. In that case the lower
court found in favor of the coal COM
pany and awarded 100000 damages.
That is set aside by the appellate de-
cision, making double victory for
the United Mine Workers.

CLEVELAND, July ia new bust
ness indicator, based upon the record
Of production of pig iron furnaces, to
measure and forecast the rise and fall
of the tides of trade with the pre-
cision of the finest mechanical mech
anism, has been designed and is now
being used by Colonel Leonard P.
Ayres, vice president of the Cleveland
Trust company.
It's present indications show that
business is still in the downward
swing of the business cycle, but that
recovery should begin late this fall
and normal trade conditions be re-
stored by July, 1926. The stock mar
ket is now in the midst of a technical
bull movement"
There is nothing mysterious about
the main causes Of the present decline
in general business" a statement is
sued by the bank says. ut has come
because the great shortage in building
construction, railroad equipment, auto
mobiles and machinery for public utiI-
tiles that had accumulated during the
war and postwar years, has largely
been made up by the industrial activ-
ity of 1922 and 1923.
Politics, the bonus, taxation, the
weather and unsettled conditions
abroad have had little to do with the
current decline in business.

Big German Glass
Workers Union is
For Amalgamation

RADEBURG. Germany, July Is. -
Amalgamation was strongly favored
by the convention Of the Central
Union of Glass Workers, affiliated
with the General Federation Of Trade
Unions OF Germany, which met in
Radeburg. June 2 to 6.
The general executive board had
tried in vain to get together with the
pottery workers on an industrial union
OF the ceramic industry. The execu-
tives believed, therefore, that an eff.
fort should now be made to join up
with the factory workers. The con
vention approved heartily of an indus
trial union, but left the executive free
to come to terms with the factory
workers, the building trades workers
or preferably with the trades in the
ceramic industry.

Brazil Can Tell
Hughes to Go to
Hell for a While

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Brazil is
a trifie too big to be disciplined by a
note from Secretary Hughes. More
over, it has arms enough so that an
embargo would not soon affect its
power to deal with the revolt in the
state of Sac Paulo, were millions of
dollars of American money are in
vested. Under the Circumstances the
Brazilians will be permitted to fight
it out without direct interference. No
indication has yet been given as to
how much the New York bankers
have gambled on the success of either
the government or the rebels. Unless
the rebels offer them far better terms
than the present government has
granted, as to loans and concessions,
the bankers will stand firmly behind
President Bernardes.
