ALASKA COAL LANDS
GRABBED BY LOOTERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Alaska
coal reserve lands, intended for navy
uses, may develop into another Tea
pot Dome scandal, according to testi-
money filed with the president by
John E. Balliane of Alaska and Sc
attic. The westerner declares that
reports were made that this coal is
unfit for navy use. Bellaine shows
that this claim is contrary to reports
by navy engineers who compared
Alaska coal with standard grades
used by the navy. This report, it is
stated, has not been made public.
The author of the charges built the
original Alaskan railroad, and is con-
sidered one Of the leading champions
of Alaskan conservation.
The Morgan-Guggenheim interests
are charged with attempting to cap
ture these coal lands. The methods
employed to transfer the coal re-
serves are similar to the methods en-
ployed in the Teapot Dome case.
Senator La Toilette has presented
a resolution calling on the navy and
interior departments to produce ev-
erything in their files pertaining to
the coal reserves.

SAFETY IN INDUSTRY
IS MODERN PROBLEM

safety in industry is distinctly
a modern problem" said H. Foster
Balm, director of the bureau of mines,
in paper read at the meeting of
American mining engineers recently
held in New York city.
"Most probably a number of the
toilers who built the pyramids were
injured and killed by the breaking Of
ropes and other mechanical devices
with which they put the heavy stones
in place, but such occurrences can
hardly have made much impression
except upon the unfortunate victims
and their fellow workers." said Mr..
Balm.
Industrial work was done at that
time, and for many centuries there
after, mainly by slaves, injury to
whom could hardly awaken much
more concern that injury to a do
mestic animal, with which they shar-
ed the status of ownership. Not I'M
til the industrial worker became a
citizen of the state did his personal
welfare become a matter of general
concern. In the middle ages there
were many other hazards of life that
overshadowed industrial hazards.
at is estimated that over 60 million
of the inhabitants of Europe died
from small pox alone in the eight
zenith century"

JUDGE IS
GIVEN SINGING REBUKE

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 28.-The
federal court of appeals at Cincin-
natl has set aside the prison sentence
and fine imposed by Federal Judge
Ross on Jacob Cohen, editor of the
Memphis Labor Review, who was
charged with contempt of court.
The cause of Judge Ross wrath
was anarticle on strikebreakers that
Editor Cohen published in the 1922
Labor day issue of his paper. Just
previously Judge Ross issued an in
junction against the striking railroad
shop men. The writ was similar to
the injunction issued at the request
of Attorney General Daugherty.
The article that offended Judge
Ross had no direct bearing on the
railroad strike. 1t was a general in
dictment against strikebreakers, and
had appeared in various labor papers.
The editor assured the court it was
published without intent to reflect on
him.
Judge Ross held that the article
was intended to incite disorder and
bring the court into contempt. In
passing sentence on the labor editor
he showed his prejudice by censuring
the strikers.
The Ross verdict revived nation
wide criticism of injunction judges by
the labor press and sympathetic edi-
tors who realize what the labor in
junction logically leads to.
An ironical criticism by V. G. San
ders, editor of the Memphis Press, in
furiated Judge Ross, who fined the
newspaper man $500.
Editor Cohen was not affected by
threats of jail and fine. At his first
opportunity, in a public speech he
notified Judge Ross that he would
never bend the knee to an autocrat
and a usurper of power"
While the labor injunction is bad
enough at best, the Ross sentence, if
upheld, would mean that a judge who
carried his corporation attorney bias
to the federal bench could silence any
labor paper that printed anything dis
tasteful to his former clients.
