Sullivan, Town of
Recent Mine Blast,
Hit by Near Tornado

SULLIVAN, Ind, Apr. 14-Residents
of the northwestern part Of Sullivan
were busy today repairing partly
wrecked houses and wiring damaged
by tornado which passed high above
this city last night, coming near
enough to earth in places to unroof
houses and beat down telephone poles.
No casualties were reported and
the twister confined its destruction to
a dozen buildings which were unroof-
ed, electric wires and trees.
Sullivan recently witnessed a min
ing disaster in which many miners
were killed.
At Komono the storm lifted the
roofs from several houses, damaged
three garages and carried Curtis
Dukes about fifty feet, without in
juring him.
Fort Wayne and Plymouth also re-
ported small property losses from the
storm.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IA
The United States supreme court
made another one Of it's many rulings
in favor of the employers when it re-
fused to intervene in the suit charging
San Francisco builders with violating
the Sherman antitrust law. The build
ers, it was claimed, combined to force
the building contractors to operate
on a non-union open shop" basis, and
withheld supplies from union con-
Germs.
"The government is powerless to in
tervene unless material restraint Of
interstate commerce is shown" was
the courts ruling.

ing to the Pennsylvania Mining com
pany in a suit claiming treble damages
from the United Mine Workers Union

Freeman Thompson covered the sit

with ringing call to action.
His. appeal was met with extended

RELIGIOUS WAR
RAGING AMONG
CzECHO- SLOvAKS
City of Prague Taxes
Catholic Parents

PRAGUE, Czecho-Slovakia, April IA
There is a religious war going on
in Czecho-Slovakia, scarcely less vio-
lent than the one which was recently
liquidated in France by the complete
surrender Of the socialists to the vati-
can.
Under the old Austrian empire the
catholic priests were state employees.
Owing to the numerical strength of
the catholics, the republic felt itself
obliged to continue this policy in
part. The government Of Edouard
Benes, foreign minister, is based on
a coalition between the socialists, ma
tional socialists, national democrats,
farmers party and catholics. Benes
is now trying to get rid Of the latter
from his government bloc so that he
can accomplish the separation of
church and state, without losing his
official head.
The workers Of Prague, impatient
over the dilatoriness of Benes took
the bull by the horns a few weeks
ago and passed a law imposing spe-
cial religious taxes on catholic par
ents.
Commission on Miracles.
One of the recent contributions to
the gayety of nations was the estab-
lishment of a commission to deter
mine whether the preservation Of the
tongue of st. John Of Nepemuth was
genuine or not. The catholic church
has made considerable money out of
Johns tongue. The saint was the
confessor Of Wenel II, who was jeal-
GUS old dog. The king pressed the
saint to divulge the secrets told by
his wife in the confessional, regard.
ing her love affairs. When the priest
refused, the monarch cast him over a
bridge. When the saint was dug out
of his grave 800 years afterwards, a
tongue was found among the remains
The story does not say whether the
tongue was wagging or not. However
John was canonized.
How the commission can deter.
mine whether the miracle is genuine
or not is problem.

Proposed Improved"
Conditions Reveal
Shanghai Slavery

SHANGHAI, China, April 1.-THE
whole caboodle of tax payers of the
city are being called in by the NUM-
cipal council to see If they (the tax
payers) will agree to an ordinance
forbidding child labor in the textile
mills. Things are so fixed that it will
require a full quorum of the tax pay
ers present to make any action effec-
tive. If these take a notion to boycott
their annual meeting, or to vote
against the measure, child slavery
will continue.
There are $4,000 children under ten
years Of age now working in the mills.
These are the only ones covered by
the proposal, altho tens of thousands
more from ten upward are among the
mill workers. After four years of the
proposed measure, 1t provides that IL
years shall be the minimum age.
The conditions of the Shanghai tex
tile workers are atrocious. Even the
proposed bill, put out as it is to pla-
cate the workers and compromise

Green JUBILANT
AT KILLING OF
Law HOWAT HIT
Open Shop Does Work;
A. F. of L. Praises Self

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IA
The officials of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor who bounded Alexander
Howat out of the Kansas Miners
Union, after he had broken the power
of the Kansas industrial court law,
are now hypocritically claiming the
credit for the supreme court decision
formally multiplying the strikebreaking
law.
Howat was denied fair trial by the
international board of the United Mine
Workers Of America, of which William
Green, then secretary Of the organ
ization, was a member. Now Green, as
president of the A. F. of L. says, "The
supreme court has re-established the
charter rights of labor as laid down
by the American constitution"
Howat Struck Mines
1t was Alexander Howat, then pres
ident of the Kansas Miners Union,
who insisted on the right to strike
and despite the court law, struck the
Kansas coal mines. Howat smashed
the power Of the law and defeated
Allen, the sponsor of the law, when
he endeavored to be reelected as gov
ernor on the issue Of the industrial
court. Howat served nearly two years
in Jail for his work in combating the
strikebreaking law.
The Kansas law forced both labor
and capital to submit to arbitration
and comply with the decision of the
arbitration tribunal"
Green a Hypocrlt
Although Green declares, "The deci-
sion leaves labor free to bargain col
lectively with employers, and Amer
lean labor can new enter an era of
new progress" it is noticeable that it
was not the efforts of the A. f. of L.
officialdom which brought the supre-
me court decision.
The suit which brought the indus
trial court law before the supreme
court was entered by the Charles
Wolff Packing company of Topeka, an
open shop concern which objected to
even arbitration" with unions. 1t
was the decision on this case that
dealt the formal blow to the Kansas
court law.

gestion that the motion include a
clause that the boards representative
will receive his instructions from the
board Of education and not from the

argued that since the superintendent
has withdrawn from the teachers the

tive for their lobbying. She was ruled

"Orders from Higher

pite unheard of efforts of the white
guard Polish agents in Cleveland, act
ing in combination with the police de-
partment to break up Comrade Rad
wanski's protest meeting against the
atrocious white terror against the
working class of Poland, the meeting
was very successful. In fact the
white guard opposition only aroused
the spirit of the audience.
From "Hieher Up" Say Cop
A police captain and corps of
plainclothes dicks were present, and
the captain announced that upon
orders from higher up" he would not
allow a collection to be taken to de-
fray the hall rent. W
All day previous to the meeting
the owner OF the hall was telephoned
to by a Polish reactionary lawyer and
other anonymous sAunks trying to
intimidate him into closing the hall
and preventing the meeting.
A White Guard Rebuked
This failed, however. And at the
meeting itself only one reactionary
had the gall to take the fioor-and he
did not end the attempt happily. AT
once he opened his mouth and began
to attack Rakwanski the Polish work
ers in the audiance rose up on all
sides to denounce him as fake labor
leader and an enemy Of the workers
They shook their fists under his nose
so menacingly that he changed his
mind about making any extended ora
