COAL BARON'S THUG
Found Guilty of Bootleg
ging Head For
Prison

Richmond, Va.-The federal court
of appeals has upheld the conviction
of Don Chafn, coal operators gun
man, who was convicted Of bootleg
ging by the district federal court at
Huntington. He was found guilty of
conspiring, while sheriff Of Logan
county, with a saloon keeper "to vio-
late the national prohibition act by
making and carrying into effect an
agreement to open and maintain a
place for the sale of Intoxicating
liquors."
Federal Judge McClintic sentenced
the gunman to two years in Atlanta
and fined him $4,000.
During his career Chain conducted
vicious warfare on the United Mine
Workers Of America. Aided by an
army of gunner, and unlimited back
ing by anti-union coal operators, he
inaugurated reign Of terror in that
section Of West Virginia that made
life uncertain for organized workers
His rulership was SO complete that no
state official challenged his violation
Of every law that stood in his way to
smash the Miners Union. His end
came, however, when he used his
office as sheriff to violate the national
prohibition act
Since this gunman has been de-
throned, and his private army dis
persed, law and order is being estab-
lished in Logan county.

BUYING ON CREDIT
Menaces Workers .Inde,
pendence, Says Lynch

By international Labor News Service
Indianapolis, lnd.--As a result OF
the living cost survey made by the
statistical department of the Inter.
national Typographical Union at
headquarters here, President Lynch
and Secretary j. w. Hays have issued
warning that the independence Of
the worker is endangered by the per-
sonal indebtedness of the average
American wage Garner"
President Lynch said that thrift
lessons will be included in the work
of the bureau of education of the
union and that mo effort will be spar
ed to convince our membership of the
seriousness of the situation"
"GOod health and healthful working
conditions can not add greatly to the
workers happiness if he persists in
getting into debt" President Lynch's
statement said. "The root of the evil
is the tremendous growth of the credit
business, which in the last decade has
raised need for the defense of the
worker against the high pressure
type of salesman. Bankers and busi-
ness realize the gravity of this con-
dition but find it difficult to check the
trend away from thrift"
"It is possible in these days to
buy almost anything under the sun
with small down payment. That
the worker is entitled to some Of
life's luxuries as well as its necessi-
ties is fundamental tenet Of trade
unioism, but that he should be hag-
gled into mortgaging his future earn
ings, deprived Of independence and
worried into an early grave is decid-
edly unsound.
Business itself is suffering as we'll
as the consuming public from this
state Of affairs. Buying power is be-
ing sopped up in advance Of its de-
yelopment, cost Of doing business is
increasing fearfully. Credit which
formerly extended down the line to
the retailer where cash relief came to
turn back the commerce stream, now
runs on indefinitely. Few business.
men like it, but nearly all see credit
as necessity Of competition"
President Lynch declared the rem
edy was to check the insidiously grow
ing tendency to ill-considered extrava-
gance on the part Of the worker.

ITO my mind one Of the most inn

Continuous prosperity will never
be possible" President Lynch said,
"if individual wealth, is to be spent
before it is created" He advised the
printing fraternity to practice the
creed of their patron saint, Benjamin
Franklin, in the matter of thrift. He
warned the laboring class that the
"citizens of tomorrow" will have need
to practice thrift if he is to bear his
share of the gigantic bonded indebt-
edness the several governmental units
of the country are piling up.

trade union movement with an accu.
rate sense of news values He knew
how to write the story of labor SC
that the worker wanted to read it.
while we all wish him success in
his new field, we can not help wishing
that something may happen to make
him again available for the service Of
