STEADY GAINS
IN LEGISLATION
Safety and Health Laws
Among Those Cited by
Association.

NEW YORK. Sept. l. - Labor
made substantial gains in the 1924
output OF protective legislation in
several States, but received scant
consideration at the hands of Con-
gress, according to a statement
issued today by the American As
ISOLATION for Labor Legislation.
Progress is noted IN the broaden
ing and Hberalizing of workmen's ac-
cident insurance laws, no less than
seven Of the eleven States that held
legislative sessions this year having
improved their acts.
Adoption by Utah of a new and
model legal safety code for coal
mines, including use of rock dust to
prevent disasters due to coal dust ex-
plosions, is cited as a notable ad-
vance.
Important Extensions
important extensions OF the
scope and benefits Of accident COM
pensation laws" says Thomas
L. Chadbourne. president. were
secured in New York. Massachusetts,,
New Jersey, Maryland, Kentucky,
and Virginia. The outstanding gain
of the year in compensation legisla-
ton is the reduction of the non-com-
pensated waited period in the New
York law from fourteen to seven
days, which brings $4,000 additional
injured workers yearly within the
protection OF the law and adds a
million and a half dollars yearly to
the benefits payable TO industrial
cripples.
Two States will vote in Novem-
her upon workmen's compensation
laws proposed by initiative petition.
In Oregon the proposed law calls
for compulsory workmen's accident
insurance under the State fund. In
Missouri. the only State Of indus
trial Importance not having compen-
sation legislation, the initiated work

insurance in an exclusive State
fund.

Proposal of Third Party
Destroys Parochial Schools

Milwaukee = [By Special Core
spondent]. The Oregon School case
shows exactly how this might happen
What is TINS case?
The people of Oregon, through the
initiative. passed law requiring all
children from the ages of eight to
sixteen to attend the public schools
during the full school year, the law
to be in force and effect on Septem-
Der /, 1925.
Following the passage of this law.
the Catholic Sisters of the Holy Names
and the secular and protestant Hill
Military Acadamy, both of them or
ganized under Oregon law, brought
suit to test the validity of the law in
the United States Court for the Dis
trict of Oregon, and the court enjoined
the officers of the state of Oregon
from enforcing the law.
In this action, these organizations
asked for the protection of their per-
sonal and property rights and priv
leges as citizens of the United States.
and, among other things, the court
held that this law deprived parents
and guardians of their natural and
equal rights to send children tc
schools of their own selection
1t held that, under the Consti.
tuition of the United States, the state
of Oregon had no right to interfere.
The court held further that, in effect,
the law confiscated and destroyed
school property.
The Supreme Court of the United
States during the entire period of our
government has not changed or modi-
fled the established principles adhered
to by the court decision in the Oregon
case.
In view of this decision, what would
happen to parochial and private
schools if the Third Party nominees,
as is proposed by their platform, were
in power to enforce a veto of Federal
Court decisions? Plank Five of this
platform as proposed fby the Third
Party nominee for president is as fol-
lows:
I'VE favor submitting to the people
for their considerable judgment Con-
stitutional amendment providing that
Congress may by re-enacting a statute
make it effective over judicial veto. +"
The effect of this proposal, which
the candidate of the Third Party for
president declared before the Conven-
ton of the American Federation OF
Labor on June a. 1922, to be the
supreme issue, would be complete
qualification of constitutional rights,
The adoption of this theory, SO vitality
affecting fundamentals of our system
of government, would in effect subject
any and all citizens to the political
whims of those in brief political
power.

spondentl. The doctrine of Socialism
and its practical application, is in di-
rect opposition to the civilized order OF
private ownership of property. State
ownership of land-the farm and the
ihome--is the fundamental of MARKHAM
Socialism. For many years indirect
methods were used among farmers tC
Twin them over to these doctrines as
to ownership of land. Nothing was
achieved among the farmers to force
an acceptance of this theory.
! About ten years ago, the leaders oil
MARKHAM Socialism in labor circles de.
among farmers, their plan must be
concealed under a different name
NTownley, a MARKHAM Socialist, started
he new campaign among the farmers
Originally, Townley was a radical
labor agitator. In the beginning he
was told that he could not succeed
In reply to that, he said:
II can take Socialism and sugar
coat it with the words: Farmers
National Non-Partisan League, anC
every farmer in the whole country
will take the whole dose and come
back for more"
The next step was to absorb La
Toilette as the progressive sugar
coated pill as an influence upon the
farmers to bring them into the So.
cialist fold. He is now the Socialist
candidate for the Presidency.
La Follette's chief adviser and man
ager of the Socialist campaign in the
east is Morris Hillquit. How does
Hillquit stand upon the question OF
private ownership of land? The fol-
lowing are his own words:
There can be no absolute private
title to land. The private ownership
of the land is the rock upon which
class rule is built; political govern
ment is its indispensable instrument
The wage workers can not be freed
from exploitation without conquerins
the political power and substituting
collective for private ownership Of
land"
These are the declared doctrines oil
Hillquit and the cardinal principle oil
MARKHAM Socialism. In becoming the
Socialist candidate for President, La
Toilette not only accepts this doctrine
but becomes its chief exponent. BY
adopting this doctrine. La Toilette
becomes the political exponent oil
those who seek to destroy private
ownership of land. The ultimate OF
this means the destruction of the
farm and home.
