hibition of our exalted democracy as
practiced by one of the major political
parties in the largest state in popula-
ton in the Union.
Corruption Everywhere.
Direct from the seething cauldron of
venality and filth at Washington,
Hughes appeared much worn. He is
vastly changed individual from the
sartorically immaculate person who
dilated upon the Monroe Doctrine be-
fore the convention of the American
Bar Association at Minneapolis last
fall (the last time the present writer
saw him). 1t has been a hard winter
and evidently a weary one for the
chief apologist of the now defunct
Harding Coolidge administration. In
stead of the eloquent abandon that
characterized his Minneapolis speech,
the New York audience listened to the
droning of an old man, who tried to
cabinet of which he is a member by
asserting that there are crooks in all
parties and that no party has a mo-
nopoly of rascality.
There are crooks in every COM
munity," said Hughes, and he ought
to know, considering the fact that his
associates have been proved to be
among the most vile of criminals.
The bigger crooks in Washington GER
tainly ought to be familiar with the
lesser crooks in all communities who
carry out their policies of fraud,
Shouldn't Mistrust Government.
1T would be foolish, false and UNI
patriotic to breed distrust either Of
the integrity of the government or of
the soundness of American life."
Hughes would have us believe that
it is not the government itself that is
at fault, but the individuals as individ-
uals.
He neglected to enlighten his audi
ence concerning the intricacies of pol
itics in the United States and particu-
larly the manner in which the polit-
ical parties of capitalism obtain their
campaign funds. A knowledge OF the
fact that Mr.. Harry f. Sinclair was
one of the principal contributors to
the acknowledged S3,000,000 campaign
fund of Mr.. Hughes when he was an
unsuccessful candidate for the presi-
dency against Woodrow Wilson in
1916 would go long way toward ex-
planning why Hughes sat silent In cab
met meetings when the naval oil re-
serves were being juggled from the
Navy Department to the Department
OF the Interior and then into the pri.
vate possession Of Mr.. Sinclair and
Mr.. Doheny.
A knowledge Of these facts, in con-
nection with the recent oil scandals,
would enlighten many as to the real

Publishers Go Broke
In Fighting Printers
Union in New York

NEW YORK, April 2O-A new
method of Gripping unions in their
bargaining power is being attempted
by the New York Printers league
which turns out magazines for the
National Publishers Association.
The leagues agreement with Typo
graphical Union No. runs to Sept.
30. The league under pressure of the
publishers has served an ultimatum
demanding an arbitration agreement
now before negotiations for the new
contract begins. AS a threat to the
union the N. p. A., which has no d.
rect dealings with the union, has pub
lished the league letter to Local 6.
Acceptance Of the ultimatum would
rob the union Of its potential strike
weapon and permit the employers to
dictate terms when wage negotiations
begin, presumably Aug. 1. Between
5000 and 5000 men are affected. Lo-
cal 6 recently signed a new agreement
raising wages for newspaper COM
positors.
Suspicion that the employers move
is the prelude to drive against wag-
es has been aroused. The present
scale on magazine work is $53 week
ly, "A hours for day work, $50 for
night, and $50 for third shift, COM
pared with the Chicago scale Of $51
for day shift and SIS for night.
Employers claim that magazine
publication is rapidly being with
drawn from New York because Of I'M
certain labor conditions here. Union
officials cite the case Of the Carey
Printing Co., which went bankrupt
after moving to Boston, and say that
its "a magazines are again printed
here. The Christ plant moved to
Coopertown, N. Y. went bankrupt.
and its IL magazines have returned.
Most Of the magazines carried to AL
bany by the Williams Printing Co.,
have returned. Government statistics
show that New York has one-quarter
Of the printing in the United States,
and one-twelfth in the entire world,
says the union in discounting the rea-
sons assigned by the employers for
their threat.

BOOM DAWES AS
RUNNING MATE TO
CAUTIOUS CALVIN
''Hell and Maria" Suits
The Bankers.

WASHINGTON, April 20. The
Vice-Presidential boom which some Of
his admiring friends have started for
Hell and Maria" Dawes has naturally
been followed by other booms, laun-
ched by those who do not want their
candidates shut out by failure to
speak up in time.
One of the most interesting moves
in the direction of the vice-presidency
comes fro ma group Of progressives
who see an opportunity to get second
place on the republican ticket as a
concession to the strong progressive
sentiment Of the West and Northwest.
This group suggests that the G.. o. p.
must select a progressive to balance
Mr.. Coolidge's conservatism in the
hope of counter-acting the farse of
Farmer-Labor Third Party sentiment
that is sweeping the west.
Suggest Kenyon and Borah
Former senator William S. Keyon
Of Iowa has been suggested in this
connection, but the progressives spon-
soring the idea want somebody even
more aggressively liberal than Ke-
nyon. Borah would suit them better,
there is little likelihood that he could
consider the proposal under the cir
cumstances.
Such a position would remove him
entirely from the senate battle ground
and would there cripple to a great
extent the power he would as one OF
the cleyerest strategists and readiest
field generals in the upper chamber.
Coolidge Likes Dawes
Respecting the Dawes boom, which
is Of course, basen on his success in
putting over the German settlement,
administration circles are silent, tho
Dawes is admirably held in high
esteem by Coolidge. And some Old
Guard leaders have been pointing out
that not only is Dawes a dyed-in-the-
wool party man but that the bankers
Of the country are certain to support
him.

LIFE OF MINERS
union Dope NDS ON
ORGANIZING W. VA.
Scab Coal Is Swapping
Union Markets.
BY j. A. HAMILTON.

Reports from Charleston, w. Va,
dated April Is, are to the effect that
the failure of the Kanawha Coal OPP
orators Association to renew the con-
tract means open shop operation by
practically all mines in this section,
the last stand of unionism in southern
West Virginia. The union officials are
reported to claim that many operators,
however, will sign as individuals. But
even so, the best that can be hoped
is to save only fraction of the union
in the Kanawha valley, unless the or
ganization campaign which is talked
OF materializes and succeeds better
than organization campaigns have
been doing under Caesar John l..
Lewis.
One-fourth of the mines in eastern
Ohio have suspended entirely, and
most of the rest are running very
short time. The Grand Trunk Rail-
way, operating three large mines, is
reported to claim they can purchase
coal in West Virginia cheaper than
they can produce it. A reduction in
freight rates from eastern Ohio points
is being advocated, but that is based
more on desire than upon probability
Of securing it.
The Coal Age spot price index of
average coal prices on fourteen Goals,
representative of 80 per cent of the
bituminous output, shows for 1924
week of March "a, $2.13 per ton,
March 81, $2.O4; April Z, $2.O7; as
compared with the week of April g.
1923, $3.50 per ton. This means that
only the low-cost operators are going
to be able to operate.
Coal Age is one of the leading coal
operators magazines. 1t states in the
April 10, 1924, issue: "It is generally
conceded that the next three years
will show more real progress in the
art of mining than the last fifteen
New mechanical devices, new systems
Of management, new mining methods
are under examination" This prog
ress" will affect the coal miners by
% reducing the amount Of labor in
mining and hence the opportunities
for employment; ~ by further re-
ducing the severity of the labor and
the craft skill demanded of the min
ers, thru the increased use of ma
chinery and subdivision of the min
ing work; 90 by giving the operators
opportunity to reduce wages because
of surplus miners, and of new CLASH
fications of labor not covered by union
scale or non.union custom; and o.
greater ability to utilize labor not ex
perienced in the mines. The progress
Of electrification, of the oil industry,
and Of better methods of burning coal
are going to have an increasingly de-
pressing effect on the coal industry
and hence the miner.
Now as never before must the min
ers inquire as to what is before them.

notes and made the subject of a for.
NAL treaty"
Thus China, at the mercy Of the
imperialist robber bands of the world
is still to yield to the "open door,
policy, so assiduously adhered to since
Woodrow Wilson's reputation of the
famous Six-Power Loan in the early
days of his first presidential term-s
reputation that had the sanction Of
the House of Morgan and the open
praise Of the Wall Street Journal.
The open door" simply means that
no nation will enjoy favors not accord
ed other nations in China, until such
time as the question is fought out on
the Pacific between the navies and
air fleets of the United States, Eng
land and Japan. For the United
States It means that this government
will hold what it has until it achieves
sufficient concentration of power to
take more.
Since all these achievements were
brought about under the leadership OF
Harding, they can hardly be credited
to Coolidge, so the sole recommends
ton of Coolidge is, by a curious meth
cd Of reasoning, Coolidge himself.
Hughes concluded by assuring the au-
dience that no other platform is need
ed, because he embodies "the spirit of
Justice, and that the best assurance
Of the future is the character of Cal
vim Coolidge"
Hughes neglected to mention his
other virtue-silence.
Coolidge is silent because he is ig-
norant. He. like Harding, is too stu
pid to be trusted as the political
spokesman of the imperialist group
he represents. He is totally devoid Of
that aggressiveness and mentality
that characterized Roosevelt and VIII
son. They were truly efficient spokes-
men Of the interests they served.
After all, Hughes is more nearly
right than he suspects. For Coolidge,
the puritanical Down East ignoramus,
the midget politician, is truly the
symbol Of the mental, moral and po-
litical decrepitude Of the Republican
Party.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-04-21

ton and contempt by all Intelligent
people in the country. There was a
time when individuals who ridiculed
the government were in such a small
minority that they had to be cautious
in their speech. Now things have
come to such a pass that those who
defend the government are looked
upon with suspicion.
The Path of Justice.
Hughes frequently mentioned the
name of Coolidge and occasionally
quoted the inept utterances of the
President. He always emphasized the
Presidents name and then paused for
the gang to applaud. A few rum
soaked individuals tried to entice the
audience into the old campaign spirit
of ENTHUSIASM, but miserably failed. In
relation to the scandals Coolidge was
quoted as having said: 1--WE propose
to follow the clear, open path of JUS
tice There will be immediate, I'M
shrinking prosecution, criminal and
civil, to punish the guilty and to pro-
lCCt CNCIy udllOudl lulcIcols
These words were also emphasized,
altho Hughes and the pee-wee pol
itician, Coolidge, for whom he apollo
gizes, know perfectly well they would
both be in jail were those guilty of
pillaging the natural resources of the
nation punished.
Coolidge's type Of Justice" reminds
one Of James Branch Cabells "Jur-
gen." who was a just man, but who
had sense enough to know that JUS
tice is no eternal entity, but a thing
of time and place. When Mr.. Hughes
talks about justice, that bedraggled
bag that has been prostitute to every
political adventurer on earth, he in
variably reminds us Of Socialist Party
conventions. The Socialists should be
gratifled at this, as it is proof that
their ideas are at last being accepted
by the government.
The Path Of Imperialism.
Imperialism is the end and aim of
the Coolidge-Hughes brand of justice,
and the speaker took occasion to en-
phasize the great achievement of the
Coolidge administration, which "has
enjoyed the privilege of having adj
vanced toward settlement a question
which for forty years has disturbed
our sister republics. Chile and Peru"
The controversy between the two
nations is to be arbitrated by the
President of the United States. This
is another way of stating the fact that
American dollars and terrorism in
Chile and Peru have finally forced the
governments OF the two countries to
recognize the hegemony of the gov
eminent OF the United States.
Harding, Coolidge and the Republic
an Party came to power in order to
use the government to fight for the
economic interests OF the steel trust,
the oil trust, the harvester trust, the
meat packing trust and other indus
trial groups. U. s. Steel is interested

TROOPS SAVING
GUNNER FROM
MINERS WRATH
Government Supports
Operators Thugs.
BY TOM rIPPETT.

(Statf Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
PlNEVlLLE, KY, April 20.-Two
companies Of Kentucky militia have
been withdrawn from the Straight
creek mining camp, near Pineyille.
There are still 1871 soldiers, including
the i.atonia tank company, left to pro-
tect the operators gunner who have
been shooting up the countryside
since April / when a strike was called
at the Liberty Coal & Coke Co.'s
mines on Straight creek.
General indignation among the
county inhabitants prevails because

overrun With Gunner.
The so-called mine war here is the
same old story. The operators refus-
ed to make an agreement with the
miners union. This forced strike.
Professional strikebreakers were i'm.
mediately shipped in and the com
munity was overrun with gunner.
Hundreds of families fed from the
camps and are being cared for on
the upper floor of the Pineville court
house. A guard is alleged to have
been killed in the indiscrimina:e
shooting up of the camp. It was
blamed on the miners. The troops
were rushed in by the governor.
Citizens Protest.
Gov. William ]. Fields office was
flooded with protests from the citi-
.zens here against the presence Of the
troops. D. M. Binham, a Pineville
lawyer, in letter to the governor
charged the troops were called for
two reasons:
Ito enable certain mine opera
tors to further their war to crush out
union labor 2-To discredit the gov
ernor with the labor organizations
which supported him in his election.
"The presence at the Liberty
NINE" Binham said, "of civilian arm
ed guards, hired gunner and profess
sional strikebreakers, is the source of
all the trouble there. If county Off
Gals had done their duty by dis
arming these imported thugs there
would have been no further trouble"
The Liberty mines are in District
10, U. M. w. A. (Kentucky-Tennes-
see). This dictrict is on strike be-
cause the operators refused to ac-
cept the Jacksonville settlement.

Speeding up of longshoremen has

Since the breaking of the Int. Long

couver waterfront, all prominent
unionists and radicals have been
blacklisted and prevented from earn

ais from England. Accidents and ia
