LOOterS Would Grab
Alaska Coal Lands

Washington-The Alaskan coal re-
serve lands, intended for navy uses,
may develop into another Teapot
Dome scandal, according to testimony
filed with the president by John E.
Balliane of Alaska and Seattle. 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 en-
gineers who compared Alas-.a 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 Inorganic Guggenheim interests
are charged with attempting to cap
ture these coal lands. The methods
employed to transfer the coal reserves
are similar to the methods employed
in the Teapot Dome case.
Senator La Toilette has presented
resolution calling on the navy and
interior departments to produce ev-
erything in their files pertaining to
the coal reserves.

PRISON WORK
TRADES UNIONS LEAD WAR ON
CONVICT CONTRACTS
Drive to Stop Penitentiary Competi-
tiOn Launched by A. F. of l..
Executive Council
(By Federated Press)

Washington-The foundation of
final drive to eliminate prison con-
tract labor in the United States was
laid when the A. F. of l.. executive
council adopted report submitted as
program of action by II organiza-
tions called into conference by Pres
ident Gompers.
The international unions represent
ed at the conference were: Miners,
mems garment workers, ladies' gar
ment workers, bookbinders, broom
makers, boot and shoe workers, tex
tile workers and machinists. Other
representatives were A. F. of L.,
union label trades A. F. of L., ma
tlonal committee on prisons and pris-
on labor and general federation of
womens clubs.
The cardinal points of the program
upon which the fight will be waged
are:
First-Adoption of the state and
states use system, calling for state
use, but permitting interstate sale or
exchange of surplus products for
state use only.
acknowledgement of prison in
dustry on high plane of efficiency,
safety and expert management.
Ihlrd-Rehabilitati of prisoners
through payment for prison work,
such payment to go either to depend
ents or to the prisoner upon release,
the cost of maintenance of the pris-
oner being deducted from the wages
earned by him in prison.
In adopting this report the A. F. of
l.. assumes the leading role in the
final battle against the contract sys-
tenn and as its principal weapon
adopts new theory in dealing with
the prison labor problem. The states
use system, as distinguished from the
state-use system, is advocated as pro-
vidlng method of escape from the
contract system in states where there
has until now seemed no escape. I'm
der the states'-use system it becomes
possible for a group of states to join
together by reciprocal agreement to
consume in state use the surplus out
put of the state prisons in the group
of states. Under the state-use sys-
tenn it is required that each state
consume the products of its own penal
institutions.
Under the states'-use system each
state consumes its own products up to
its own necessities, only the surplus
being sent into other states for sale
to the states or in exchange between
the states. The system is now being
considered by several groups of states
and is advocated by all opponents of
the private contract system.
Officers of the A. F. of L. will
have drafted model bill. for presen-
tation to the various state legisla-
lures, and will inaugurate a cam
paign of education on the evils of
convict labor.

Senators Favor
ChiId-LabOr Check

Washington-A subcommittee has
reported to the senate judiciary COM
mittee a proposed constitutional
amendment which will give congress
full power to prohibit child labor. The
proposal is compromise on several
child labor amendments to the consti-
tuition which have been suggested in
the senate.
Senator McCormick's resolution
was supported by the A. F. of l.. and
sympathetic organizations. President
Gompers and other opponents of child
labor have accepted the compromise.
Because the question is constitu-
tional one, there are many views as to
the best wording of resolution that
will prohibit child labor without TAX
ing from states the right to control
their internal affairs. 1t is declared
that this objection to a federal child
labor amendment has been removed
by the compromise resolution, which
reads as follows:
"Sec. 1. The congress shall have
power to prohibit the labor of per-
sons under the age of 18 years and to
prescribe the conditions of such la
Dor.
"Sec. 2. The power of the several
states is unimpaired by this article
except that the operation of state
laws shall be suspended to the extent
necessary to give effect OF legislation
enacted by congress-"

How Madison Built
New Labor Temple

Madison, Wis.-In a number OF
cities labor temples are either beng
projected Or are now under construc-
ton. and organized workers will be
interested in the methods used, IN
Madison, Wis, where such a building
was built and paid for in the course
of only two years time. The cost OF
the property was $4,000, with half
of the purchase price as the initial
pavment. A five-year mortgage,
bearing per cent interest, was ne
gotiated for the balance. On Feb
ruary Is, 1921, a drive was made to
raise the first payment. An assess
ment of one days pay brought IN
ST 900, with about $4,000 in dona-
fions. A second drive was made on
December 2, 1922, realizing $5,OOO 1or
the second payment and interest. On
Labor day, 1923, the third drive was
made, with an assessment OF 50 on
each member of organized labor, and
on December 2, 1928, the final pay
ment was made. A budget system
on a yearly basis is now being used,
and rentals for meeting place of the
various unions of the city takes care
of the upkeep of the property. Union
men and women now have a home OF
which they are justly proud. Madi-
son, Wis, is not a large. place, put
evidently it has trade union element
that knows how to accomplish some
thing for the upbuilding of the com
munity and for the benefit OF It's
workers..

The Union Busters
Under False COIOrS

Wheeling, w. Va.-The American
constitutional convention, that oper-
ates in this state as an alleged pa
triotic organization, is merely a un-
ion-smashing outfit. 1t is financed
by big business, which understands
it's purpose. It's professed love of the
constitution is to fool the unthinking.
This was brought out in the suit of
John w. Kirk against the association
for commissions. Kirk collected
$4,000 from Judge Gary, and was
compelled to sue for his 25 per cent
"split." The court allowed this de-
fenGer of the constitution judgment
for $1,250, his full claim.
Kirk stated on the stand that after
expenses were paid, and commissions
were deducted, the balance was used
to promote the anti-union shop.
The Wheeling steel corporation of
this city contributed $4,000 to these
defenders of the constitution. The
steel corporation is now attem ting
to destroy the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.

immigration Bill Attacked by Hughes

these concerns will indorse Secretary
Hughes position. Another economic
club the Japanese may not overlook
is orders for millions of dollars of
building material.
Secretary Hughes letter is not ac-
cepted by congressman from Pacific
coast states which now debar Jap
anese from holding land.
Congressman Raker of California
made this comment:
"Mr. Hughes first step would be
to put the japanese under the quota
arrangement. This would mean aban-
denment of our policy that they
should not be admitted to the United
States under any circumstances. The
next step, coming on the heels of the
first like an avalanche, would be the
negotiation of a treaty with the Jap
anese government abrogating the
land laws of all our western states
relative to land ownership by aliens.
japanese then would come into pos
session of all our land"

Officious Dry Cops
Called Down Hard
(By Federated PreSs)

St. Louis-Police officials cannot
break the law to enforce it, says a
decision of the Missouri supreme
court, handed down in three liquor
cases. Convictions on evidence OBJ
tanned Ky the police unlawfully will
not be sustained by the high court,
the opinion states.
In one of the cases the court orders
the release of Alfred Owens, convict
ed in Stone county of possession of
a bottle of whiskey, because he was
convicted on evidence obtained by
officers searching without warrant
Justice White wrote the opinion and
reviewed several liquor cases in vari-
Gus parts of the country. The trend
of argument, the judge says, in favor
of admission Of illegally obtained evil
dence of violation of the prohibition
law is that it is necessary and the
only way to enforce the law-that it
is necessary to violate the law to en-
force it.
"If peace officers are rewarded for
preaching the peace, what more pot
ent influence could induce people gen.
orally to hold law in contempt and
to break through legal barriers which
stand across the path of their de-
sires?" Judge White asks.
"If rule obtains" the judge con-
tinues, "that an officer may enter any
home and search any person or place
without a Warrant-if he, vainglori-
ously sensible of the little brief au-
thority with which he is invested-is
encouraged to arrest and search be-
cause he suspects someone of some
unknown crime, and is rewarded ac-
cording to his own success in discov-
cry; if he is encouraged to hunt and
ferret on chance of hitting on
something suspicious, system of
espionage would ensue characteristic
of those countries where the sanctity
of the home and inviolability of the
citizen are unknown"

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED.
COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out Promiscuously as Deemed
Just By Our Hired Man.
WHY NOT. BOYS?

The "Hired Man," while talking of
things in general and nothing in par
ticular with several friends the other
day, the question of craft affiliation
came up, and the unusually we'll or
ganized condition of the various
trades in Newark was mentioned.
Some one expressed surprise that
the school house janitors had not long
ago formed a union and affiliated
themselves with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Newark
Trades and Labor Assembly. 1t was
stated that these men and women
were not paid in proportion to the
hard work their jobs entail, neither
are they able to demand an increase,
but must accept what is doled out to
them by those in authority, all OF
which would be overcome if they
united and formed one hundred per
cent organization.
1t is understood that there has
been some talk of effecting an organ
ization, and that decisive action may
be taken before long.

Misunderstanding of State
Hughes opposes that part of the
pending immigration bill which would
exclude Japanese from this country.
He wants Japan classed as the other
nations, so they will be entitled to
their quota of immigrants. In let
ter to Congressman Johnson, chair
man of the house immigration COM
mittee, Mr.. Hughes said such exclu-
sion would be inconsistent" with
treaty obligations with Japan. "The
Japanese government" he said, "has
already brought the matter to the at
tention of the department of state" )"
When the Hughes letter was given
publicity the japanese government
was marketing a $150,00O,O00 gold
bond issue in New York. The bonds
bear 61a per cent and were quickly
oversubscribed. They were distribu-
ted among 1000 banks and invest
ment houses in various parts of the
country, and it is fair to assume that

Easy to Side-Step
The Income Tax

Washington The Teapot Dome
probe reveals that officers of the Sim
clair oil companies drew few cents
less than $4,000 a year, and this
made it possible to save hundreds of
dollars income tax because they are
not in the $4,000 class.
In several cases vice presidents
drew $49,99992. In other cases the
annual salary was $24, ,99996. H. G.
Wylie, vice president of the Doheny
interests, drew $81, ,666.66 for the
year 1922. The list of the two COM
panies is an imposing array of vice
presidents who receive princely sal
aries. E. L. Donheny, president of
the Doheny oil interests, heads the
list with a salary of $1,000,000 a
year.

DON'T WANT IN THE CITY

Just as the "'Hired Man" predicted,
the action Of the city council in an
nexing the Licking County Fair
Grounds by running the corporation
line around t'other side, is meeting
with strong opposition by the mem
bers of the Agricultural Society, who
claim to be. able to attend to their
own business without the unsolicited
and undesired help of the honorable
city council.
The Fair Board will undoubtedly
take legal action to prevent being
gobbled up and taken under the pro
tecting wing of the city, and claim
that such annexation would have a
bad effect on the annual county fair,
and materially decrease the attend
ance, and would inconvenience many
country people who regard the fair
grounds as county property. 1t is
also claimed that the grounds are
protected and supervised under state
laws, and that the city will meet with
many obstacles to its proposed
scheme.
It is hinted too, that the authority
to charge a prohibitive license for
carnivals and similar amusements
may have caused the city to suddenly
cast a longing eye upon this place
just across the dead line.

Near Ruin Story
Is Proved False

San Francisco = Business in Ha-
waiian islands is the most prosperous
in their history, according to Wallace
R. harrington, governor of Hawaii,
who is visiting this city.
Governor harrington states that
1923 was banner year for business,
and that the export of one product
alone brought the islands more than
$23,000,0Q0.
This prosperity report is different
from the tale of Hawaiian planters a
few years ago when they insisted that
the islands would be ruined if they
were not permitted to import the
cheapest Oriental labor in the world.

The Steel Trust
Pension Not In It

New York-The steel trust an
nounces that it has paid S1,448,112 in
pensions to "more than 1000 en-
ploy" during the past year.
If the number were exactly 1000,
this would mean an average pension
of 1852 for the year, or $6.98 per
week. If the pensioners total more
than 4,O00-which is quite probable
the average is less.
The public press makes friendly
comment on this paternalism of the
steel trust, that is committed to the
anti-union shop.
AS against this pension, stands the
pension of So week which the In
ternational Typographical union pays,
to every member.

TEMPORARILY DISCONTINUED

"When the bluebirds come again"
our equestrian cop will reappear
among us, but for prudential reasons
it was deemed wise to discontinue the
horse service during the dangerous
conditions of the streets, which were
simply a glare of ice. 1t is next to
impossible to keep the shoes rough,
as the calks were cut down an hour
or so after they had been sharpened,
and the officer is too valuable a man
to justify him in taking the risk of a
dangerous or fatal injury which
might result from his mount falling.
This innovation in police circles is
giving general satisfaction, and
should be continued by all means.

GONE BY ONE TIE ROSES FADE"

And next came Andy Crilly. The
official ak is still busy, and many
heads have already dropped into the
executioner's basket; the latest victim
being A. J. Crilly, for the past six
teen years Superintendent of Cedar
Hill cemetery.
In compliance with the request of
the Mayor, Mr.. Crilly resigned We'd
nesday, and dropped back into the
ranks of the ordinary, common every
day citizen. Immediately following
Mr.. Crilly's resignation Charles H.
Harris, formerly with the Newark
Telephone Co., was appointed to fill
the vacancy.
Because Charlie got the job of boss
ing the cemetery it must not be in
ferred that he is "dead one," for he
is not, no not by any manner OF
means.
