Flag W. fg Bunch Who
Fight UniOnism

Wheeling, w. Va.,-The American
constitutional convention, that oper-
ates in this state as an alleged patrio-
tic organization, is merely union
smashing outfit. 1t is financed by big
business, which understand it's pur-
pose. It's professed love of the const-
tuition is to fool the unthinking.
This was brought out in the suit of
John w. Kirk against the associs ton
for commissions. Kirk collected SIS o.
90 from Judge Gary, and was compell-
ed to sue for his 25 per cent split"
The court allowed this defender of the
constitution judgement for $1,250, his
full claim.
Kirk stated on the stand that after
expenses were paid, and commissions
were deducted, the balance was used
to promote the anti-union shop.
The Wheeling steel corporation of
this city contributed $4,000 to these
defenders Of the constitution. The
steel corporation is now attempting
to destroy the Amalgamated Associ-
alton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.

an eternal disgrace that such a thing
could happen
As fiscal agent Judge Lobdell han
dies all details of the bond selling in
large measure controlling the amount
of money obtained to loan He has
previously accepted, according to his
own testimony, the advice of the east
ern syndicate about when to issue
bonds. Now, according to Mr.. Coker,
he has the disposition of the profits
of the system amounting on Novem-
ber 80 to about four millions. He ap-
parently holds one key to the problem
of how high the farmers interest rate
shall be, for the figure set by the farm
loan system affects the general rate
deeply. So far as stockholders are
concerned annual dividends returned
to borrowers are in effect lowering
of interest. But dividends have been
held up without explanation for long
peridos.
Farm loan associations demand
that Title 8, which inficts grave in
justice, shall be repealed. They want

to the fact that there was motive
for the commission of the crime by
others, and that neither the explo-
sion, nor those who caused it, We're
in any way connected with the dis
pute between Local Union No. 357
and the Montpelier Manufacturing
Company.
The union officials are not ready to
discuss this motive or to indicate the
direction in which their suspicious
point. 1t is known, however, and it
is regarded as of the utmost signifi-
canoe, that a representative of the
state attorney general, who had been
directed to assist the local prosecut-
ing attorney, returned to the state
capitol after making an investigation
declining to participate in the prosecu-
tion of the men now in jail.
1t is held that the only interpreta-
tion to be placed on this action, is
that the office of the attorney general
of the state is convinced that the
members of the Molders' Union are
innocent and that the explosion was
caused by persons not connected with
the union or with the strike.

PLENTY HERE
Alien Laborers Not Need
ed In America

Washington,--A report on the pend
ing immigration bill was filed in the
house by congressman Johnson, chair
man of the committee 1t was signed
by IA members. Because the present
law expires June 80 next the report
urges the Immediate and urgent need
for enactment of immigration legisla-
ton" The report declares that the
nations property does not depend up
on more immigrants.
'The committee is advised" the re-
port continues, "that the number of
aliens desiring to enter the United
States is very large. 1t is reasonable
to assume that, despite unfavorable
exchange rates, high steamship tar
ifs, and other untoward factors, an
immigration of between 800, 600 and
100000 would have entered the
United States during each of the last
two years if the per cent law had
not barred the way.
IF the per cent law is permitted
to expire, and if no other legislation
is enacted, the movement to our shores
of the largest migration of peoples in
the history of the world may be ex-
pected to begin July 1, 1924. The ex-
clusion clauses of the act of Feb. 5,
1917, will be powerless to stay the
tide.
''The prosperity of the United States
does not depend upon additional un-
skilled aliens laborers coming to this
country. Industry and activity have
survived the slackened immigration
caused by the European war and the
quota law (the two covering stretch
of almost 10 years., and the United
States has had one spell of great un-
employment during that period. Our
gain in population through natural
sources is large-10,0 100000, in the pc
riod of 1910-192O. Some thought
must be given to the welfare of the
coming generations"
The report indicates that the COM
mittee look upon the suspension of all
general immigration as a future possi-
rbility.
The majority considered such action
''inadvisable at this time" although a
minority favored it.

Montpelier, Ind Forty mold
ers, the entire membership of Local
Union No. 357 of this city, are in jail
under bonds totalling approximately
one-quarter of million dollars. The
Imprisonment Of this entire local
union followed within two or three
hours after a terrific explosion which
occurred in front of hotel in which
strike breakers were being housed.
Despite the force of the explosion
which virtually demolished the front
of the hotel, broke all plate glass in
the business district, and damaged
buildings three blocks away, no one
was killed or injured.
On November %, 1923, the mem
bership of Local Union No. 357
struck against the introduction of
piece work in the foundry of the
Montpelier Manufacturing Company
Nearly all of the members of the
union were born in Montpelier, were
widely known and, highly respected
Despite this fact, and despite the
fact that the strike had been con
Quoted ia the most peaceful manner
without any unlawful conduct of any
character, suspicion was at once at
tached to members Of the union be-
cause of the fact that the hotel be-
fore which the explosion occurred,
had been taken over as headquar-
ters for strike-breaking molders.
First failing of Entire Union
Trade unionists here believe this
is the first instance of the imprison-
ment of an entire local union.
Conditions in the jail at Hartford
City, Indiana, where the men are con-
fined, are decidedly uncomfortable.
It is not even possible for all of the
prisoners to sleep at one time be-
cause of the overcrowded condition.
In spite of the fact that the most
stringent T0SlElCIl0lS nave DGSh du-
heeed to, officials of the international
Molders' Union and attorneys for the
organization have been able to make
an investigation, the result of which
promises to demonstrate completely
the innocence of the accused men as
soon as a trial can be had.
The most important step towards
establishment of the innocence of the
accused molders is the discovery of
the motive for the commission of the
crime by others. Officials of the
union came here from international
headquarters at Cincinnati with the
avowed purpose of investigating the
situation with view to determin-
ing who was guilty, and not with a
view to establishing the innocence of
any one unless that innocence was
determined by evidence.
Motive of Crime discovered
Their findings as partially revealed
after the investigation, point clearly

OUT-OF-WORK
Relief Urged By British I'm
iOnists

London, England,-A great nation
al campaign on behalf of unemployed
workers is to be launched jointly by
the bona fide trade union movement,
represented by the British Trade
Union Congress, and the unemployed
workers committee.
Six points are presented, which the
promoters declare must be immediate
ly attained by united action. These
points are:
First-Work or effective mainten-
ance for all unemployed and increased
government assistance, to be provided
through the trade unions, all relief be-
ing completely dissociated from the
poor law administration.
Second-Immediate development of
government schemes for employment
to absorb the unemployed in their own
trades at trade union wages.
Third Establishment of state work
shops to supply the necessary service
or commodities to affect the require
ments of the governmental depart
ments.
Fourth-Reductio in the hours of
labor sufficiently to absorb the unem-
ployed workers, the normal working
day or week to be regulated by the
requirements of industry.
Establishment of occupation
al training centers for unemployed
workers, with effective maintenance.
Sixth-Provision for suitable hous-
ing accommodation at rents within the
means of the wage earners.

Jacksonville, Fla.-The success of
the United Mine Workers of America
in securing from the operators at the
Jacksonville joint conference a three
year extension of their present wage
contract in the bituminous industry is
an achievement of paramount impor-
tance to labor in general, for it estab-
fishes beyond all doubt the fact that
present wage rates are none too high.
Critics of the miners union have
charged that the present wage scale
is war schedule which ought to be
Debated in peace time. But it is no
longer wartime scale.
The extension of the agreement for
three more years makes it a peace
time scale.
The miners wage schedule is now
SO thoroughly and definitely impressed
with that characteristic that it can
not hereafter be revised downward
by any process of so-called dehation.
Under this agreement the organized

LABOR EDITOR WINS
in APPEALS COURT

By international Labor News Service.
Memphis, Tenn. - Organized labor
is rejoicing over the decision of the
United States circuit court of appeals
at Cincinnati in reversing the con-
viction of Jacob Cohen, editor of the
Labor Review of Memphis.
In September, 1922, Cohen was
sentenced to six months in Jail and
fined 1000 for violation of the in
famous Daugherty injunction against
the striking railroad shopmen. In
sentencing Cohen, Judge j. w. Ross
bitterly denounced him. Judge Ross
was reversed by the unanimous vote
of the court of appeals, which held
that an editorial written by Cohen
and on which his conviction was
based, did not violate the injunction.
Organized labor rallied to Cohen's
support and furnished the money to
appeal his conviction.
Declaring that the people of the
United States have won an important
victory in the decision of the court
of appeals, the Memphis Press says:
"It (the decision) is a victory for
free speech, freedom of the press and
freedom in general. The fact that
the defendant involved was an ex-
nonent of orpaniZed labor has moth
ing to do with it. The fact that the
issue arose during strike contro-
versy is incidental The important
fact is that a court higher than that
of Judge Ross has stood by Che con-
stitution and reasserted some of our
constitutional rights"
