Crowds at Non
Partisan Meeting
CONTINUED from page II

Davis stressed the Importance of
education as the "key to the door
of equal opportunity" He con
demned those who oppose education
on the ground that no one would be
left to labor by hand.
In amplifying his conception of
equality of opportunity" Davis
declared for freedom of speech,
"whieh means the right to, say
things that displease as well as the
things that please those in power;
freedom of assembly; freedom of
labor, freedom of contact; freedom
of the press; freedom in matters of
religious belief and practice. =
These are rights too sacred to be
trifled with, he added.
Davis ridieuled the "Sself appoint
ed sayiors of the country" who
fear red plots lurk around every
corner and declared the best eds
infectant for radical theories" is
fresh air and the he-best1defense- again

ese that they would not cause any
more trouble over their deportation
and that they would sign an agree
ment before the U. S. immigration
officials, to the effect that if they
were sent through San Francisco
under bond, they would not institute
proceedings to get their freedom,
and that their return to China was
a voluntary move on their part.
When they were brought to the
immigration office to sign the agree
ment, early Saturday morning, they
refused, and Immediately a guard
of Ia soldiers was arranged and
the Chinese started their woy on
foot through the Lower California
desert this being the only route
possible to reach "a. Mexican ship
ping point.
An investigation which was made
following the tong wars early in
June in Mexicali brought the fact
that these four Chinese high off
cials in the rival tongs, were respon-
sible for the Series of killings in
Mexicali during the last three
months.
Son Kin is well know to many
American visitors in Mexicali as
the owner of the Black Cat caba-
ret, and s, former secretary of the
Chinese Masonic Lodge.

LIKE A Thief IN The NIGHT

Can Editorial in the December American tederauomst
The question of whether the Railroad Labor Board
has power to compel the appearance OF witnesses Is To ne
passed upon by the United States Supreme Court Fed
era Judge James H. Wlkerson has decided that the board
does have such power and the Supreme Court to hear
the case upon appeal Certain railroad union representa-
tves refused to respond TO summons from the BOARD
contendine that the board has compulsory powers.
1t was to be expected that Judge Wllkerson would
decide as he did 1t to Judge Wilkerson that Aor
ney General Harry NJ Daugherty hurried when he sought
the blanket Injunction against the striking railroad un
ions and Wilkerson promptly gave Daugherty what he
and the railroads wanted Wilkerson is consstenteon
sisten in his prorairoad precautionary point of view
No who is familiar with the history OF the ESeil-
Cummns act and with the debates that took place IN Con
gress while the bill pending hold with any degree
of logic that the is in any sense compulsory and
vet no one can observe the history of the Railroad Labor
Board without the understanding that from the nst the
powers of reaction intended that the board should have
power and that this power should be steadily increased
except that there to be no eompulson IN dealing with
the railroads.
The workers are to be coerced, but the rail
roads are not to be coerced. 1t has been dscov-
cred that coercion does not apply to the railroads
That is a settled issue 1t, now the courts are to
hold that the wage earnels may be coereed, the
Railroad Labor Board will be in a fair way to be-
come the nations most dangerous autocratlc or
ganization. If it may compel wage earners to
appear as witnesses, where is its power OF COM
pusion to stop?
Labor protested against the Railroad Labor Board
from the first. 1t saw clearly what in store. Its OPP
position not based merely upon the ground that this
bad for labor upon the broad ground that it
bad for democracy of democracy and there
fore thoroughly un-American.
Those who given power almost inevitably seek to
incease their power The Judiciary has performed mira-
ces in stealthy enargng its powers and the judiciary
NATURALLY to the assistance of the Railroad Labor
Board We make effort to forte the decision of the
Supreme Court but Judge Wilkerson has more, in
the sacred of justice, performed service of tre-
mendous value to the railroads and to all who bear i'll will
toward democracy And thus in the language of Amer-
cas- apostle of fredom Jeerson"The germ of dssou-
ton of our federal government is in the judicarythe
irresponsible body working like garvy by day and by
night gaining little today and gaining little tomorrow
and advancing its noiseess step like thief over the field
Iof jurisdiction until all shall be usurped."
