Workers Journal. Never before have
the miners faced such "a bitter, vi
cious attack as is being made at this
time"
Every possible force and influence
that can be marshaled is utilized to
break down the union and throw the
coal industry back to the days of in
dustrial servitude.
"There are injunctions and more in
functions; lawsuits and more law
suits; contract violations and more
contract violations; attempted starva-
ton and more attempted starvation;
evictions and more evictions; gunmen
and more gunmen; oppression and
more oppression; treachery and more
treachery.
''The whole thing revolves around
an attempt to reduce the wages of
mine workers so the coal owners may
make greater profits. Nothing else
is involved. In non-union and unor-
ganized coal fields, where armed gum
men are employed by coal companies
to intimidate and beat up offensive
workers, wages have been cut, even
below the starvation line.
'Some of these non-union coal COM
panies are reaping enormous profits
by reason of the wage reductions
which they have forced upon helpless
employees.
But there is one great outstanding
fact that shines forth through all of
this struggle The lines of the union
have held and are holding. The
desperate tactics of these union bust
ers have failed to break the morale
of men who are fighting to earn de-
cent living.
at is one of the greatest fights in
industrial history.
"But the United Mine Workers of
America will not fail. This is not the
] first time these forces have attacked
the union Time and again they have
tried the same thing, and in each case
have failed"

cannot deliver the labor VOTE" is re-
actions warning to labor in the clos
! ing days of the campaign.
Reaction is we'll aware that the
only attempt to deliver the labor vote
is by those who would dull the work
ers' conscience and confuse their
judgment.
The offense of the A. F. of L. off,
cials is that they have presented the
| records of all candidates and have
drawn the deadly parallel on the three
political platforms.
Comparisons of the old-party can
didates with La Toilette and Wheeler
| is to the disadvantage of the former.
Therein is the reason for reactions
ragings.
If A. F. of L. officials failed to be
true to their trust, and if they ignor-
ed history in their discussions of the
supreme court, they would be prais-
ed without stint.
| In its defense of the supreme court,
privilege has reached the zero point.
Reaction would have the public be-
lieve that present-day criticism of the
court are original; that in no other
period have the American people
challenged court usurpation.
The contrary is true. Compared
with other days, the court critics OF
today are mild.
Thomas Jefferson said that the ju-
dietary are the sappers and miners
| of the constitution.
Most vigorous attacks on the su-
preme court followed it's Dred Scott
decision, wherein it held that slave
is property.
On March 8, 1858, Senator Sumner,
of Massachusetts, declared on the
floor of the senate that the people
"never will accept principles so un-
constitutional and abhorrent," and
that s'the supreme court can reverse
its Judgment more easily than we can
reconcile the people to its usurpa-
ton"
For this speech Senator Sumner
was assailed as venomously by the
/ slave holders and their northern de-
tenders as are the progressives OF
1924.
History is replete with instances
where members of congress and pri-
vate citizens have criticised the su-
preme court far more vigorously than
today.
In his debates with Senator Doug
lass, Abraham Lincoln frequently
charged that the Dred Scott decision
was the result of an understanding
with Chief Justice Taney, Douglass
and Buchanan before the latter was
elected president Documentary
evidence supports this charge.
| No worker need be alarmed at the
outbursts of reaction when the su-
preme court is criticised because of
its anti-child labor decisions.
The reactionary of 1924 is using the
same methods as the reactionary OF
other days.
When A. F. of L. officials are
charged with attempting to deliver
| the labor VOTE" it is sure sign
that privilege is alarmed.

VOTE THE SCHOOL LEVY

Hamilton is not alone in asking
for an extra levy for schools. Most
all cities in Ohio are asking for ad-
ditional aid for maintaining schools.
The local board of education has made
it plain that the schools cannot con-
tinue under the present income The
authorities are asking for an extra
levy of 2.1S mills for just one year
when it is hoped a reappraisement of
property will relieve the situation.
No schools are more economically ad-
ministered than is Hamilton's. If we
are to continue on in the good work
of the past in our schools, the authori-
ties must have the money to do so.
Let us give our boys and girls every
advantage that school can give them

NEW PARK BOARD MEMBER

No appointment at any time by the
mayor of our city ever met with more
popular approval than the one this
week by Mayor Kelly of Ben Strauss
as member of the board of park COM
missioners, to fill the unepired term
of the late Abram Ballinger. Mr.
Ballinger was brother-in-law of Mr.
Strauss, so that no one knows bet
ter than he, the wonderful dream OF
Mr.. Ballinger for large and beauti-
full parks for Hamilton. And anyone
knowing the Strauss family, the close
ties of love and devotion to each other
in it, knows that the appointment OF
Ben Strauss on the park board means
the carrying out of Mr. Ballinger's
dream so far as it will be in Ben
Strauss power to do so. Ben Strauss
has a big Job before him-the job of
carrying out the expectations of the
Hamilton public-because Ben Strauss
has been such a big success in every
thing he has ever undertaken-in his
business, as head of the Hamilton
Chapter of the Red Cross, ETC., much
is expected of him as a member of
the park board. But knowing him as
we do, the Press predicts that Ben
Strauss will fill The job in every par
ticuar and meet every expectation
