Veterans Condemn Trial.


The first veterans organization also
was heard from last night, Front Line
Post, No. 1401, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, making public resolution con-
demning the "so-called trial Of Col.
Mitchell"
Before Mr.. Reid left Washington
yesterday 70 spend the Christmas holi-
days with his family in Illinois. he
informally stated his efforts on be-
half of Col. Mitchell would be halted
until the verdict and sentence passed
through the necessary channels. He
would not indicate any plans after the
Presidents action on the findings, but
when asked what steps could be taken,
he pointed to the civil courts. Should
this opportunity be seized, the only
point the airman could raise would be
his Army pay. which the sentence de-
prived him of for five years.
Several times during debate on an
appropriation bill yesterday afternoon
the House heard sharply worded criti-
cisni Of the manner in which punish
ment had been meted out to the air
crusader for his public assaults on
Government aviation policies. One
member, Representative Black. Demo-
crat, New York, proposed that the
court-martial sentence of five years
suspension from the Army be can
celed by act of Congress. This was in
the form Of resolution to restore the
colonel to his rank and pay.
Representative Tillman. Democrat,
Arkansas, denounced the court martial
verdict and demanded a modification
of the sentence when 1t is laid before
President Coolidge. Mr. Tillman de-
scribed the courts action as shame
less and cruel"
Says Court Got" Him.
Il call upon the granite-faced and
granite-souled President of this JUS
tice-loving Nation" he declared, ito
mitigate or quash this harsh sentence.
They sought to affiX a gag and at the
same time impoverish him and his
family. The court-martial seeks to
infiict an unusual and cruel punish
rent. This sentence is a shameless
one. 1t seems that in this trial the
usual military procedure was not al
lowed to take its ordinary course. but
a court was organized to get" the
colonel, and this spurred and booted
inquisition got him in double quick
time"
The Front Line Post resolution de-
scribed the sentence imposed by the
court as 'unjustly severe. harsh and
unheard' of, therefore. contrary to all
the principles of equity and justice"
"Comrade Col. Mitchell" it contin-
ued, well knowing the facts regard
ing the deplorable condition of our
national defense. acted courageously
in exposing the same to the people of
the United States, much to the dis
pleasure of the general staff
"Comrade Col. Mitchell was not &C
corded a just and fair trial and the
vital facts in regard to our nationa
defense were suppressed and an un
just sentence imposed"
The post went on record "as com
mending Col. Mitchell for his coura
geous stand and the fight he has
made" and ordered the original resolu
ton be sent to him.

NEW YORK, May Nurses who

efforts to improve working conditions
for their work.
The cry for IS for an S-hour day

When Downing attempted to charge
that the So scale would be S16S for
a 24-hour day, the nurses retorted
quickly.
He said that they should be glad
to take the cases of two friends who
desired to be cared for together by one
nurse but one of the young women
challenged him by asking whether a
doctor would operate on two friends
for the price Of one operation.
The physicians are not generally
hospitable to the nurses idea of or

Another Victory for the
Open Shop

While the reactionary officials Of the American
Federation of Labor spend their time urging the
workers to cooperate with the capitalists in run
ming industry for the benefit of the capitalists or
in bounding radicals and progressives out Of the
trade union movement the employers are carrying
on a relentless war against the economic organs
of the workers
The latest and most vicious blow struck at trade
unionism in this country, and that cannot fail
but have farreaching effect, is the decision of the
Ohio supreme court which declares that no public
utility enjoying a monopoly of its field make
a closed shop union contract with any kind of la
bor The decision also states that closed shop union
contracts are contrary to public policy on the
ground that they might bar from employment in
dividuals not wanting to join union
This is what the unions have gained out of their
fawning and ellycrawlng to the employers. The
takers expected that the bosses would smile upon
them once the radicals were driven out of strategic
positions in the unions. But once the radicals
eliminated from leadership the bosses knew that
they could work their sweet will organized la
bor The rank and file will suffer from the treach-
cry of their leaders
The street car company in Cleveland has declared
the open shop on its properties. The union Of
cials, it is reported have conferred with company
officials the question of retaining their union.
Why ask the company's permission? But this is
another indication of the depths to which the takers
have dragged the trade union movement. The car
mems union was not built by favorable court de
cisions 1t was not built by permission and with
the aid of the transportation capitalists.
There is only one course for the street carmen
Of Cleveland to take That course is to fight. If
they do not struggle against the open shop now
and battle for the right Of collective bargaining,
they will have cowardly surrendered their only
protection against the rapacity of the employers.
They will Furthermore be deserting the field of
battle to a relentless enemy who never quits the
fight against the workers.
"Down with the open shop" should be the slogan
of the street carmen of Cleveland. They deserve
the support of every other Cleveland worker in
their struggle, and of every worker in the United
States. They must fight
