All Unions Meet Thursday
Thursday, all the executives of the
trade union movement of Great Bri-
tain will meet to discuss the aid to be
given the miners in event of a strike.
The Transport Workers Union and
the Railwaymen have already pledged
not to move coal by rail or water dur
ing the miners strike. Speaking here
yesterday, ]. Bromely, labor member
OF parliament, alluded to the demands
of the railway companies for five per
cent wage cut. He insisted that such
demands be resisted to the uttermost,
that the railwaymen and the miners
were both involved and each NUS
stand by the other against the greed
of capitalism.
Big Profits-cramp Talks Rail Action
Stephen Walsh, member of the
former Labor cabinet, speaking at
Wigan, told how the operators own
figures show that they had made all
average profit of SSO.OOO,OOO each year
since the 1921 lockout, yet pretended
to be too poor to pay the present low
wage scale.
c. T. Cramp, secretary of the Rail
waymen's Union, declared that tn.
matter might not end with the rail
and transport workers merely refusing
to move coal. If men were suspended
or blacklisted for refusal to handle
coal, all OF the railwaymen would b
ordered out.

next morning at Owings, w. Va.

got tired of paying him for yellow

than quit, went scabbing where he
is protected by the state police.
We have an Italian scabbing here
at Owings, but it is understood that
if he don't work, he would go to jah
on account of peddling moonshine. So
while he is scabbing for the Consoli-

Honolulu, Hawall--The stupidity and

GERS and their subordInates In the
captalst United States army ls about
unbelievable. Soldiers In the army
see examples Of this stupidity every
day
In the army If man is i'll he re-
ports to the first sergeant of his COM
pany on battery and the sergeant
places the mans name in the sick
report book. In the guard house the
provost sergeant or the sergeant of
the guard has this duty. The sick re-
port book is sent to the dispensary at
seven o'clock and the prisoners who
are i'll report for treatment after
completing the morning work at elev-

Stone Falls on Crouch.
1t happened that Comrade Paul
Crouch was injured while working on
the stone pile at the quarry A rock
weighing between fifty and seventy
five pounds fell on his foot. The
accident occurred at about eleven
O'Clock in the morning, just before
time to stop work for the noon hour.
Comrade Crouch reported to the
iSpensary for medical treatment but
because he had not had his name
placed in the sick report book he was
refused treatment. He was notified
that he would have to walk to the
guard house, a ten minutes walk,
have his name placed in the book and
come back for treatment.
Injured Untreated.
Upon reaching the guard house
Comrade Crouch was informed by the
oflcer Of the day that he would have
to wait until one o'clock before he
would be permitted to report for
treatment. At one O'Clock he was
told that he would have to wait until
the following day.
Lit. Kreuter and Sergeant Gaddy.
the prison officer and the provost
sergeant, have given orders to SEN
tries prohibiting man from report
ing for treatment unless he has been
enrolled in the sick report book.
1t amounts to this: A man must be
possessed of supernatural powers
and must be able to tell at six thirty
a. m. that he is going to be injured
N the course OF his work, have his
name placed in the book and thus be
able to obtain medical treatment that
same day. Otherwise wait until the
following day for relief Does it
sound logical?
Medical Attention A Joke.
This is the formula, however that
must be complied with If one wants
medical treatment while in the guard
house. Furthermore, 1t is the formu-
la laid down by men from West Point
Men who have been called the
Pride Of America"
Crouch returned the next morning
with his name on the sick report
book. "A very bad foot" This from
the doctor. He ordered that Crouch
be kept in quarters. Crouch had
already worked two half days with
the injured foot, and then when the
authorities finally condescended to
give him attention, he was told that
he had bad foot. "The bes. of medi-
cal attention."
Thus it is with men in the service.
They are not allowed to know or do
anything for their own comfort. They
must await the pleasure of their SUI
periors even tho these superiors have
nothing more to do than round Of
golf.

toms evolution case assumed ma

Reiterating his intention to flight

ury clerk who filed the suit, announc-
ed that a dozen leading scientists and
educators from all over the country
were prepared to testify in his behalf
that evolution was taught as a fact
and not merely as a theory in Wash
ington schools.
Wittner's suit is based principally
on the charge that the theory that
man descended from lower order of
animals constitutes disrespect to the
bible.
The names of the scientists Wittner
guarded with secrecy, imposed on
him by his attorneys.
when granted a hearing, will
have an imposing array Of nationally
known scientists to back me up"
said Wittner.
Ask For Dismissal.
But it developed that Wittner may
not get his hearing. When the suit
comes up before Justice Siddons in
the district of Columbia supreme
court tomorrow, the government at
torneys handling the defense will ask
for its prompt dismissal on technical
grounds. They will not attack the
constitutionality of the legislative
rider" to the district appropriation
bill, which Wittner is attacking, and
they will seek, if possible, to avoid
hearing on what constitutes "disre-
spect to the holy bible" in the cur
riculum of Washington schools.
The defense expressed confidence
that the court would grant its re-
quest, particularly because the SUI
preme court has held that a taxpayer
who has no material personal inter
est cannot enjoin public funds. Wit
tner would stop salaries OF Washing
ton science teachers.
If the suit is thrown out on techni-
calities, Wittner declared he would
file another petition in an acceptable
legal form and continue the battle
'to take religion out of the schools
Of the country"
WASHINGTON, July 2S-Asserting
that "disrespect to the holy bible" is
not being taught in Washington
schools, District of Columbia legal Of
fcers today filed a motion to dismiss
ths evolution suits instigated by
Loren H. wittner, treasury clerk.
The suit was assailed chiefly on
technical grounds, the principal con-
tention being that Wittner has no
rights before the district supreme
court as he is without material per-
sonal interest in the case.
The fling of the dismissal motion
took Washington by surprise as 1T
had been expected such move
would be postponed until tomorrow,
the last day set by Justice Siddons
to receive the answer of the defense
to Wittner's petition asking that sal
aries Of Frank W. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, and w. P. Hay,
head of the biology department, be
stopped because capital children
were being taught disrespect to the
bible thru the teaching of natural
science.
