Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-02-06

A supposed Newark woman, whose
name appears neither in the city di-
rectory or telephone list, and is there
fore taken to be fictitious, in right
snappy screed jumps on the "Hired
Man" with both feet for daring to ad-
wise Newark people TO patronize New
ark merchants and so keep Newark
money in the city of Newark, and not
chase away from town to blow it in
neighboring cities where itAwould be
lost forever.
This woman, if it is a woman, sings
a ready pen and does not hesitate to
call spade spade, but if she will
again peruse last weeks article which
so excited her ire she will have to ad-
NIT that it nowhere claimed or init
mated that the party who was on the
elevator when it dropped several
stories was visiting the store with the
intention of buying goods.
This selfsame fiery and unidentified
correspondent who takes her pen in
hand to give the "Hired Man" hail
columbia, concludes by daring US to
publish her valued letter in the col
umns of the Leader, but we shall
have to classify it as anonymous and
pay no further attention to the mat
ter.

between the union and the employer,
then the members of the labor union
are not such persons as are within
the quoted constitutional provision.
''1f the right of a union man, or any
other man, to speak, write and pub
llsh freely on any subject is abused to
the harm of another, the remedy is an
action for damages, and that remedy
is deemed adequate. If the public
suffers injury because of a malicious
publication the remedy is by criminal
action for libel. The guaranty of this
section extends as fully to the poorest
as to the wealthiest citizen of the
state.
Though an abuse of the liberty
guaranteed may result in loss for
Which there can not be adequate com
pensation, the American people be-
lieve that it is better that such be the
result in isolated cases than that the
liberty of speech be subject to the
supervision of a censor.
The court made it clear that the
unionists could discuss former men,
bers of the union as freely as they
want to "as long as the discussion did
not take place at a point and in a
manner that would intimidate those
employed by or seeking employment
with the appellee, thereby injuring or
threatening its business or property"

A New Scheme for
Numbering of Autos
Especial to The LEADER

Columbus, O.-A radical change in
the method of numbering automobile
license tags for 1926 has been sug-
gested to Thad H. Brown, secretary
of state, and has been taken up for
consideration. With the number Of
autos in Ohio having passed the mil
lion point, the suggestion has been
made by Secretary Brown that instead
of using six or more figures that a
letter appear before the numerals.
Each county would have its own letter
each year, with the license number to
follow this letter. Under this plan no
change would be made in the letter
and it would soon be an easy matter
for one to determine the county in
which the machine is owned. Argu-
ment in favor of the plan is that it
would make the numbers smaller, Civ
ing method Of more prompt recog-
milton of county ownership, and would
not only aid police generally, but has
many other advantages to both the
owner and the traveller. Incidentally
it would mean a considerable saving
in the steel tonnage used for the long
er numbered tags. Nothing definite
has been done in the matter and will
not be until Secretary Brown has
carefully considered the scheme.

efficient mass production. The old,
slip-shod, inefficient convict labor boss
of other days has been replaced with
the efficiency expert and the most up
to-date factory methods. Twenty-Five
years ago convict labor contracting
was chaotic, hit-and-miss, dog eat
dog scramble between individual poll
tician contractors, while prison fac
tories were badly equipped, wretched-
ly managed, and they produced only
goods of the lowest quality and sal
able to the least discriminating trade.
"But this condition could not con-
tinue in our highly specialized and
scientifically organized industrial
world. The same social forces that
produced the oil trust, the lumber
trust, the railroad trust and the bank
ing trust have also created the prison
labor trust and made it one of the
mighty powers in what Woodrow Will
son called the invisible government
"The prison labor trust wields its
influence in the invisible government,
controls politicians, shapes the poll
cies of political parties, oils the wheels
of political machinery and 'sweetens'
the editorial policies of many great
newspapers. 1t retains eminent law
yers on its staff, floats its stock
issues through reputable brokers, do
mates literally to charitable, social
service and prison reform organiza-
tions. 1t also maintains publicity and
well-paid lobbies. In fact, it does all
the things other great trusts do, and
in many instances does them much
better.
"The exploitation of convict labor
has been concentrated in few indus
tries, and naturally the workers in
those trades suffer most, though the
evil effects reach out into every in
dustry, including agriculture. The
greatest concentration in convict lab
or is in the garment industry, work
garments, principally, and it is the
garment workers who are suffering
most from the invasion Of prison
made goods in the markets.
"The Reliance manufacturing COM
pany and its subsidiaries, makers Of
big Yank' shirts, according to its ad-
vertising, made more than 100000
work shirts in 1923, most of them
produced in prison factories and by
convict labor. Other smaller units of
the prison labor trust possibly pro-
duced more than this number of shirts
and, in addition, millions of pairs of
overalls, coveralls, workmen's trous-
ers, children's overalls and play suits
and women's house dresses and under
wear.
"The competition of prison-made
goods is sapping the life of the gar
ment industry and free factories are
closing down in all of the centers of
production. Thousands of free gar
ment workers are walking the streets,
but there is no unemployment in the
prison factories. Thousands of con-
victs are busy making we'll known
and widely advertised brands of pris-
on-made goods"

Legal Bureau Aids
The Tacoma Workers

Tacoma, Wash.-More cases are be-
ing won for workers in Tacoma since
the legal bureau was established last
June. 1t is operated by the Central
Labor council The bureau is at the
disposal of all affiliated unions, whose
individual members may secure for a
small fee a card which entities them
to service.
Minor advice is given free. Matters
requiring more attention and court
action are handled for unions and
members at cost. The bureau rend-
ers its service to unionists not only
in adjusting industrial matters, but
wherever legal aid is needed. The
bureau with its salaried staff has
proved a great economy to the un-
ions. Uniform systems are used to
deal with injunctions and workmen's
compensation disputes.
Corporations naturally oppose this
new labor instrument. Private law
yers also dislike the plan since their
fees and practice are injured. The
original office in Seattle, which is do
ing a tremendous business was estab-
lished in 1920 by George F. Wander
,veer, labor lawyer. Bureaus in Ever
EFT, Bellingham, Bremerton, Spokane
and Aberdeen are sure to follow. 1t
is expected that in a few years the
Pacific coast will see labor's legal arm
well developed

Director in Favor of
u. S. Rail Operation

Washington - Government opera
tion Of railroads in 1918-20 cost con-
siderably less than private operation
would have cost the country during
that period, says Walker D. Hines,
former director-general.
This economy was effected by bet
ter use Of terminals, through consol-
idations, etc. If the roads had re-
manned in private control during the
war, rates would have had to be rails
ed, and the investment in the prop
critics would have been endangered by
vastly increasing operating and main
tenance costs. Instead of failure,
government operation was a success,
and resulted in turning back to the
private owners a system of rail trans
portation in good condition, with a
record of exceptional performance.
This judgment by Hines is quoted
by the social action department of the
National Catholic Welfare conference
in an analysis of the report given out
by the Coolidge administration to the
effect that the government lost ST.
674 100000 on the experiment.

Hard Coal Miners
Strike Is Averted

Pittsburgh-A general strike of 65,-
900 anthracite coal miners in the
Pittston section of Pennsylvania has
been averted by refusal of the gen
eral grievance committee of District
No. l to sanction a suspension of
work, This action was taken at a
meeting held in Wilkes-Barre last
week.
1t was further decided that the II, )
900 in the Pittston section who went
on strike November % without sane
tion of the district or international of
ficials should submit their grievances
to committee, return to work and
that the charters Of ten local unions
would be restored without prejudice"
The charters were revoked by John
l.. Lewis, international president,
when the members of these locals
went on strike in violation of the laws
of the United Mine Workers, and
Neal j. Ferry, member of the interna-
tional executive board, was placed in
charge of the situation there. 1t was
largely through his efforts that a
general sympathetic strike was pre-
vented.

Unemployed Suffer
In Schenectady, N. Y,

Schenectady, N. Y.-Appeal to the

relief has been made by the civic COM
mittee on relief. Raymond j. Leon

lily without coal, food or extra cloth

Early in the fall the General Elec-
trio Co. reduced its staff of work
ers by $500. American Locomotive
Works has been operating on short
time and building trades have reach
ed a low point. Only the radio de-
partment of General Electric needs
workers at present. The ice harvest
work paid so cents at first but the
abundance of workers brought the
rate down to AZ cents an hour. That
work is nearly over.

have not missed work day in several
years are unemployed

In reversing this decision, the su-
preme court did not pass upon the in
junction as such, but did hold that the
appellant had the right to use the
term traitor" as the Standard die
tionary says that traitor is ANYONE
who acts deceitfully and falsely to
his friends and joins their enemies"
The supreme court said that when
the injunction judge issued his order,
"it is proper to assume" he intended
to be in harmony with the constitu-
ton, which declares that "every per-
son may freely speak, write and pub
lish on all subjects, being responsible
for the abuse Of the liberty.
"If the order in question is con-
strued to mean that appellant and
other members of the union can not
refer to the non-union men employed
by appellee as traitors" continued the
court, "then any discussion had by
strikers among themselves, in their
meeting place or elsewhere, or any
publication they might make or notice
they might give, could be considered
a violation of the injunction.
"If court of equity has the power
to restrain and punish members of a
labor union from speaking, writing or
publishing on the subject of a dispute

BANKS BETTER THAN TRUNK

1t is true that one occasionally reads
of a bank outside of Newark going
broke and settling with depositors for
so much on the dollar-even that is
better than nothing, for it. is prefer
able to save part than lose all.
Newark's banks and building asso-
Citations are absolutely safeAthere is
no chance of their going broke and
leaving fellow strapped. How much
better it would have been had the un-
lucky Newark citizen who lacked faith
in our financial institutions if he
placed his hard earned savings in one
of these places instead of burying it
in trunk ready for the first thief
coming along to carry off his two
hundred five dollar bills. If he had
done so he would be drawing down
forty or fifty dollars year interest
in addition to having his original nest
egg ready at any time he needed it.

Fake Trade Schools
Fleece Many Workers
(By Federated Press)

Vancouver, B. c.. - Fake trade
schools are filching from unsuspect-
ing workers thousands of dollars on
promises of teaching them any kind
of trade they care to elect and giving
them a job when their course of in
struction is completed
Throughout western Canada there
are number of such schools which
promise their victims anything and
give them practically nothing beyond
the course of stereotyped lessons and
a gaudy diploma" which is to serve
as the "Open Sesame" to a big-pay
job. These schools issue very elabor-
ate advertising matter, a glowing
prospectus printed in two colors and
filled with promises and testimonials
from supposedly satisfied and pros
porous students.
Workers here are charged $275 for
such course and many of those who
have "graduated' from the school and
received their diploma" find that the
big pay jobs are in their own imagin-
alton only, while the diploma" as a
means of obtaining work as an auto
mechanic is the sheerest farce.
Sometime ago one of these schools
was closed up by the authorities and
it was found that the testimonials
from successful students were mainly
from relatives and friends of the own
ers with a few paid letters from out
side points. One of the graduates"
of this trade school has been compell-
ed to earn his living as a Sandwich
man" on the streets here, while anoth-
er has disillusioned himself of becom-
ing garage owner at $500 a month
and has instead, in the parlance of
dish-washers, become "pearl diver"
