cation Of political cranks who refuse
to become assimilated in this country
and who can't or won't mix" COM
fortably and intelligentIy with the
great mass Of American citizens. Be
tween this band of wild, desperate
and dangerous cOnglOmeration of
moneyless fanatics on one side and
the wealthy capitalists on the other
stands the American Federation of
Labor, despised by one and not fully
appreciated by the other. To all
those hungry and unscrupulous agita-
tors that would destroy capital and
enrich themselves with the spoil, or
ganized labor has uttered the bold and
defiant challenge: "Thus far thou
shalt come, and no farther!'
That the American Federation of
Labor is opposed to all these anti
capitalists has been demonstrated
over and over again, and only recent
ly two large trade unions affiliated
with the A. F. CT l.. showed in an
unmistakable manner that all such
anti-capital propagandists need ex-
pect no support nor sympathy from
them. The Seattle Central Labor
Council has expelled from its mem
berShip every man who claimed to be
an anti-capital Communist, and SIM
liar action was taken a short time be-
fore by the Central Labor Union at
Minneapolis. "The aims and pur-
poses of organized labor and Com
munism have no relation" says a
news dispatch in reference to the ac-
tip1o of tho Minnnnnn1i~ GGTL,o
Communists came into the trade un-
ion movement not to improve the
conditions of the workers, but to
avowedly advance their revolutionary
doctrines"
In 1919, the Central Labor Council
of Seattle, was stampeded into a gen
eral strike, which gave the labor
movement in that city black eye for
long time afterwards, not only loc-
ally, but nationally, because of the
nationwide attention it got. That
experience was valuable one for the
trade unionists Of that city, inasmuch
as it was a lesson which has never
been forgotten. That strike was en-
gineered by the Communists in the
labor movement of Seattle at that
time-an element which has always
been a drag on the trade union move
ment of the Northwest. 1t was a
ghastly and costly failure. After it
collapsed, as it was doomed to do
from the very start, those who franz
ed it left the decent union workers
to bear the opporbrium and clean up
the mess. Then, when that had been
done and a new start made, the Com
munists came back and got busy
again. But this time the Council de-
cided to bring them to a showdown
long before they were able to repeat
their disruptive mischief, and recently
expelled them from membership.

operator can hope for the high prices
caused by the annual car shortage.
With three-year wage agreement in
the union fields, which forestalls
strikes and leaves no hope to the
non-union operator of profiteering at
the expense of the union fields dur
ing suspensions, the nonunion inter
ests have udertaken to bankrupt the
operators of the union fields. But in
doing so they are gradually bankrupt
ing themselves, in the vain effort to
overcome geography by selling en-
slaved man-power in competition
with coal. At the same time the
struggle in the union fields is slowly
wedding out uneconomic mines, obso-
lete equipment and incompetent man
agement.
A wage education would serve only
to prolong the maladies of the indus
try, while sacrificing the rights of
the miners.

Our Debt of Gratitude

Though it is not generally wise to
the fact and probably would hesitate
to say so if it was, capital owes a
very great debt of gratitude to or
ganized labor because the latter has
stood and is standing as q buffer be-
tween capital and all the erratic and
anarchistic radicals who are running
wild in the United States, as the re-
suit of our generosity in admitting
aliens at the ports of entry.
When we speak of organized labor
we mean, of course, the American
Federation of Labor and all its af
filiated unions, and when we speak
cf radicals" we mean, of course, the
Communists, the l. w. w., the An
archists and all the rest of that ira
tional, illogical and theoretical aggre-

RULE BY MOB MUST BE CRUSHED OR
GOVERNMENT CEASES TO FUNCTION

.Jallas, Texas, has just been expe-
riencing the thrill of mob action, with
the killing of one and the wounding
of a half dozen of the rioters who
sought to take two negro prisoners
from the county Jail.
The negroes were accused of hei-
nous crimes. They were under grand
Jury indictment. The law was NOV
ing and moving with unusual rapid
ity, as it does sometimes in such cases
and so seldom in other kinds of cases.
There was every reason to expect
that in short order the two men would
have been tried and either convicted
and punished or else acquitted. Few
could have looked for acquittal unless
there should have been in store an
unsuspected and overwhelming vol
ume of evidence in favor of the in
dicted prisoners. There was surely
no reason to look for an improper and
unjust acquittal. The men were col
ored and they were poor.
Fortunately Dallas has sheriff
who is courageous. He and other Of
ficials stopped the mob and soldiers
were called upon to serve as guards
DdlldS was SdNCo 1IOAAl
the disgrace of lynching.
If accused men are guilty, the
place to determine that fact is in the
courts. If they are innocent they
surely should have a chance to prove
that innocence in the courts. Few
men have been able to prove their in
nocence to a mob and mobs have
lynched many innocent men.
Mobs are the last word in antithe-
SIS of organized government. Or
ganized government means order,
and mobs mean disorder and thel4
conduct is just as unlawful as the
conduct of whatever guilty men they
lynch. There is not one valid excuse
for mob action.
While the Dallas mob was trying
10 take these two negroes from their
cells, court in Williamson, N. c.,
was sentencing five principals and
eighteen accessories for participation
in mob lynching. The mob which
some of these men directed, and in
which the others participated, had
killed prisoner and multilated him
most horribly.
The prisoner was charged with a
crime against woman. The woman
later married man who was either

a member of the mob OF a sympa-
thizer with it and the charge against
the prisoner was stricken from the
court records. This, however, hap
pened after he was dead, so he got
none of the benefit of this declaration
Of his innocence.
The mob no doubt felt that in kill
ing this man it was doing righteous
duty. 1t was probably conscious of
preserving certain traditions, and all
that sort Of thing. But it slaughter
ed man who was later declared in
nocent. And it violated the most i'm
portant tradition of all-the tradition
of obedience to law and of abiding by
the orderly processes of duly consti-
Cuted government.
That Is the whole point to the ques-
ton of mob action, except for those
who wish also to bring in the moral
question as to personal conduct.
II We are to maintain organized
government We must maintain it. AS
long as government functios, mob,
must give way TO the slower, less
violet, but on the whole infinitely
surer performance of courts and 9TH
er machinery of law.
Regardless of the probable guilt
or innocence of the prisoners in the
case, those who participated in the
defeated Dallas mob may contemplate
with profit not only the North Caro-
Ina case, but the whole subject OF
organized government and obedience
to law. Society owes much to those
officers who defeat and disband nobs.
And those who join in mob action
have much to do before they can
properly atone to society for their
criminal and idiotic conduct

SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAYS
Proclamation Safety Issued AS Warning for Citizens
of Ohio Who Travel the COngested Highways

The automobile touring season
again is at hand, with the cars of
citizens of our own and other states
congesting the highways of Ohio.
With the increase Of travel there
comes inevitably an increase in traf
fic accidents resulting in loss of life
and limb.
The newspapers recite the daily toll
Of highway accidents. Each Monday
the press carries long list of fatal
ties and injuries incurred among
pleasure seeking motorists the Sun
day preceding. Practically all of
this great sacrifice of human life and
serious injury might be avoided by
careful driving and observance of
traffic laws and ordinances.
There are Hundreds of spots along
the highways of Ohio where human
lives have been snuffed out, bodies
manned and blood shed as a result Of
careless driving. Innocent children
have gone to untimely graves through
the thoughtless, reckless or criminal
neglect Of some driver of an automo-
bile.
AS Governor, l hereby direct the
Division of Highways and Public
Works to erect inexpensive, small,
white crosses along the highways on
the state system at each place where
fatal accidents have occurred-one
for each person killed-that there
may be this mute appeal to warn the
passing motorist of danger, to drive
carefully for his own safety and that
of others. Boards of County Com
missioners are urged to do likewise o.
all country roads.
The cost will be trifling in compar-
ison with the results which | am con-
fident will be achieved. Human Life
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-07-03

is priceless.
1t is the duty of all motorists to
observe scrupulously every law and
rule relating to traffic If every cit
izen of Ohio will do his part this tre-
mendous, growing casualty list can be
greatly reduced.
1t is fitting, therefore, that warn
ing be given and measures taken to
promote safety upon the highways
and so |, Vic Donahey, Governor o.
Ohio, by virtue of authority vested in
me by the laws and Constitution,
hereby call upon all citizens of this
state and visitors therein to observe
and obey all laws, ordinances, rules,
and regulations relating to driving
upon public highways and streets in
Ohio, directing particular attention
to the following safety rules:
GD Take no chances.
(2) Consider the rights of others,
both motorists and pedestrians.
(3) Observe strictly all official
highway warning signs.
CD Never attempt to race the
train to the crossing.
(5) Observe Eighteenth Amend
ment as a traffic safety measure
With whoe-hearted cooperation
upon the part of officials, drivers of
automobiles, motor busses and motor
trucks, motormen of electric cars,
engineers and firemen of locomotives,
we can do much in Ohio to protect
and conserve life and limb and permit
more of our little children to grow
up to useful manhood and woman
hood.
| plead for that cooperation.
(Signed
VIC DONAHEY,
Governor.

HERR|OT TAXLAW
WINS AFTER FIGHT
Chamber Session Grows
Heated When Opposition
Sees Capital Levy.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, February 26.-The cry "A
tax on capital! thoroughly woke up
the French Deputies in the midst of
their long session held to expedite the
revenue bill.
The cry was raised by a member
of the opposition in reference to an
article providing that total or partial
REIN bursement of stock by companies
should be subject to the income tax,
the government maintaining that
there was a growing custom of COM
panies allowing profits to accumulate
for several years and then distribut-
ing them under the guise of reim
bursement of stock, thus eluding the
tax.
Deputy F'landin, a prominent mem
Der of the opposition, shouted that
the article amounted to levy on
capital and that it had been dictated
by the Socialists.
Premier Herriot holly retorted that
the article was aimed not at honest
folk, but at tax dodgers. 1t was in
the interests of public morality.
The debate waXed warm, but finally
the article was voted after the gov
eminent had consented to modifica-
tons in the text to satisfy minor
objections and make the range Of it's
application clear. Racing through
several more articles, the chamber
reached the customs tariff, section g.
There was every prospect that the
Deputies would sit long after dawn.

Cooperation is the big thing needed

party given in his honor by the home

1T is not enough" he said, for
farmers to cooperate with each
other. We must have cooperation be-
tween city and country, between the
business man in the town and business
that neither can prosper without the
other"
He pointed out the need in both
city and country is for improved
methods. Land values are high to-
day" he asserted, 'as compared with
what they were 20 years ago. If we
are going to make a fair interest re-
turn on the land, we have got to do
one of three things-Iower our stand
ard of living, debate the value of
land or make the land produce a
larger income. There is no farmer
but will see that the last of these
is the practical, common sense thing
to do. By producing the right kind.
the right quantity, the right quality
of farm product, we can obtain a
larger net return from every acre of
land. Most of this must be done by

TORY GOVERNMENT
| GETSFIRST DEFEAT
Power Bill Is Rejected, But
Little Importance Attach
ed to Setback.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 26.-The con-
servative government suffered its first
defeat in Parliament last night with
the rejection of a private bill. The
vote was 1913 to 80. No great i'm
portance is attached to the govern
ments failure to carry the majority.
The bill was promoted by the
County of London Electric Supply Co.
1t was supported by the minister of
transport and the motion for it's
second reading was opposed by a
Laborite on the ground that it was
one of a group of bills introduced
for the purpose of establishing a
national scheme of electricity supply.
The bill was attacked among others
by the secretary of war, Sir Laming
Worthington- Evans, who contended
that it conferred monopoly and too
extensive powers upon private en-
terprise, without corresponding obli-
cations.
The vote indicates the relatively
small Importance attached to the bill,
which was not in reality a govern
ment measure.
