MINE ACCIDENTS
Cause Death of 142 Coal
Miners in April
BY International Labor News Service

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Accidents at
coal mines in the United States in
the month of April caused the death
OF 142 men, according to reports
made by the various state mine in
spectors to the interior department
through the bureau of mines. The
death rate for the month was 3.45
per million tons of coal produced, as
compared with 6.58 in April last year.
The out put of coal was Al ,174,O
tons in April, 1925, and 1925 900
tons in April, 1924 The much larger
death rate for April last year was
due to the loss of 119 lives in an ex-
plosion at Benwood, w. Va, without
which the rate would have been 3.39.
Considering the accidents by causes,
the reports made to the bureau of
mines for 1925 show marked reduc-
tion in the death rate from explo-
sions of gas and dust, no change for
falls of roof and coal, and a slight
increase in accidents for haulage, ex-
plosives and electricity

Chicago.-The Progressive party
state committee of Illinois, Charles j
MacGowan, chairman, decided at {
meeting held in Chicago to invite
Magnus Johnson, of Minnesota, to ad
dress a big mass meeting at Joliet
H., Sunday, June 21.
The progressives gained control o1
Will county, of which Joliet is the
county seat, at the election held there
last spring.
1t was reported that Henry F.
Koerner, elected highway commissions
er of Will county on the progressive
ticket year ago, had been able to
effect saving of $4,000 to the tax
payers and had raised the wages of
laborers working under him from
S3.75 to SIS day.
Commissioner Koerner alleges that
he was offered bribe of $4,000 by a
crushed stone contractor. He saved
the county $4,000 on the contract by
switching TO another concern which
furnished the material at Is cents a
yard less than the price of the crook

Notorious Injunction Judge
Issues Sweeping Writ Against
Union CigarMakers Of Chicago

By international Labor News Service.
Chicago-The union cigar makers
of Chicago are combating a temper
ary restraining order issued by Denis
E. Sullivan, Chicago's most notorius
injunction Judge. The order was
issued on application of Ralph E. Ora
ham, assistant secretary of Wengler
4 Mandell cigar manufacturers, and
is drastic and sweeping injunction
against the officers and members of
Cigar Makers Local Union No. 10.
The firm of Wengler & Mandell was
the leading Chicago manufacturer of
union-made cigars for more than 40
years. The firm was always placed
before the public as shining ex-
ample of fairness and honest dealing.
Mr. Mandell died about two years ago,
however, and Matthew Wengler,
senior member of the firm, sold his
interest six or seven months ago. The
business then fell into the hands of
Eddie" Mandell, who became presi-
dent of the firm, and Ralph E. Gra-
ham, the assistant secretary. Follow
ing that trouble started.
Men Ordered From Factory
One day Eddie" Mandell called the
shop committee in to the office and
said: II am appointed as a commit
tee of one from the stockholders of
the firm of Wengler & Mandell to
inform you that from today on they
will cease to manufacture cigars in
Chicago and inform the men to have
their tools out of the factory not later
than Saturday, May 2, at IL o'clock"
Many men who had been employed
by the firm for 35 and 40 years were
thus summarily thrown into the street
on a moments notice, and the factory
was moved to the open shop city Of
Tampa, Fla.
The local union applied for strike
sanction, which was granted by the
Cigar Makers international Union.

OPPOSE COMPE-
TITION; STANDARD
STARTS SUIT

Lincoln, Neb.-The Standard Oil
Company has started court action
against municipal competition. By a
popular vote the people empowered
the common council to sell gasoline
and oil at cost, plus the expense Of
handling.
Standard oil attorneys declare this
change in the city charter is illegal,
and that the popular vote should be
set aside, as it conflicts with the
action of the legislature, years ago,
in giving the city the right to frame
it's own charter "for the government
of the people"
The attorneys maintain that the
charter amendment providing for
municipal oil stations is void for the
reason that selling gasoline and oil is
no part Of government"
Recently the Nebraska supreme
court put the state gasoline filling
stations out Of business on the ground
that there is no authority to use state
funds for that purpose.

The agreement which the defend

where the millwork was produced
whether in or outside of Illinois, if il
bore the union label The restriction

out of Illinois.
We find no evidence which would
support finding that the agreement
embodied in Section of Article 8
was not the real agreement of the
parties. Wherefore, we conclude there
IS fatal variance and the evidences
does not sustain the Indictment"
This decision followed closely on
the heels of a similar decision by Su-
perior Judge Oscar Hebel dissolving
the injunction obtained by the notori-
Gus non-union printing firm of R. R.
Donnelley & Sons Co. against Chi
cago Typographical Union No. 16 be-
cause of a provision in the laws of
the union prohibiting it's members
from handling struck work.
Two Courts Uphold Unions
A state court of Illinois and the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals have laid down the principle
that members of trade unions may
legally refuse to handle the products
of non-union labor, whether produced
inside or outside of the state.
The federal government considered
the carpenters case of such great i'm
portance that the department of JUS
tice sent three of its ablest Sherman
antitrust law experts to Chicago to
assist the district attorney.

may be the truth Of the United States
steel corporations claim that it has
virtually abolished the 12-hour work
day in it's steel mills, the fact re-
mains that employees Of the steel cor
poration here are still working II and
13 hours day.
These unfortunate workers are en-
ployes Of the local store of the Pitts
burgh Supply Company, subsidiary
Of the Pittsburgh Steamship Com
pany, which is subsidiary Of the
United States steel corporation, oper-
ating fleet of 118 boats on the
Great Lakes, carrying coal west and
iron ore east.
The store of the Pittsburgh Supply
Company supplies everything used on
the boats Of the Pittsburgh Steamship
Company, and also on the boats of
another line. A steamboat is employ
ed, which goes alongside each vessel
on the down trip and up trip, putting
aboard all supplies ordered by the
mates, stewards and engineers de-
partments Of the vessels.
The store and supply boat crews
are required to work II hours in the
day time and 13 hours nights, chang
ing watches every two weeks, with
only a 6-hour intermission in chang
ing. The crews of the supply boat
have supplied as many as 32 vessels
in "a hours, which means that they
have to work at top speed to put
aboard the ice, laundry and large
amount of supplies which each vessel
requires.
The supply boat workers feel that
their workday is much too long and is
inconsistent with the announced pur-
pose of the steel corporation to put
an end to the l2-hour day.

Chicago.-Organized labor of Chi.
cago achieved second notable legal
victory within a month when the
United States circuit court Of appeals
handed down a decision reversing the
conviction in the United States dis.
trict court here of Al defendants in
the famous case of the United States
against members of the Carpenters
Union, contractors and manufacturers
OF miiiwork, who were charged with
violation of Section l of the Sherman
antitrust law because of observance
by the carpenters, contractors and
manufacturers of Article of the car
penters' working agreement, which
prohibited the handling of millwork
produced under non-union conditions.
The decision rendered by Circuit
Judges Alschuler, Evans and Page
disregards all technicalities and flatly
holds that the evidence wholly failed
to prove the crime charged.
Prosecution Began Four Years Ago
This was the famous prosecution
started about four years ago against
II officers of the Carpenters Union,
six leading contractors and about As
manufacturers Of millwork in Chi
cago, charging a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade because of the pro-
vision in the carpenters working
agreement to the effect that union
carpenters were prohibited from in
stalling non-union made trim.
The case was originally tried before
a jury in the court of District Judge
Adam c.. Cliffe, who assessed fines ag-
gregating about 100000 against those
convicted. Some of the defendants
paid their fines, but all of the carpen-
ters' officers and several manufactur-
ers and contractors refused to pay
their fines and took an appeal.
Hope Thompson, attorney for the
union, presented 86 alleged errors of
the trial court. The circuit court of
appeals, however, gave consideration
to but one error and based it's re-
versal on that alone.
No Proof Shown of Alleged Crime
In handing down it's decision, the
court said, in part:
"The indictment charged defendants
with combining or conspiring to, pre-
vent manufacturing plants located
outside. of the city Of Chicago and in
other states than Illinois from selling
and delivering their building material
in and shipping the same to said city
of Chicago The Indictment thus
drawn charged an interference with,
an obstruction to, or a prevention Of,
shipments in interstate commerce.
"The proof, however, disclosed
merely an agreement between defend
ants whereby union defendants were
not to work upon non-union made
millwork.
"Non-union made goods were made
in Illinois as we'll as outside Of Hi.
nois. Union made millwtrk was also
produced outside of Illinois, as we'll as
in the state. In other words, demand
for millwork in Chicago could be sup
piled from all parts Of the United
States. Local manufacturers and
those situated in Illinois, but outside
Of Chicago, could supply the millwork
as well as the factories Of Wisconsin,
Michigan and other states. It was a
matter Of choice whether these fac
