organization
This committee last Winter abdi-
Gated in favor of the Pacific Coast
Conference, which not only handles
the finances of the game and makes

No Pot HUI ters Wanted.
The sole idea f. to bring together
two representative elevens, not nee
essarily champions, but teams that
play creditable foot ball and are or
ganized and developed under worthy
ethical standards. What is not wanted
is a pot-hunting outfit, which is little
more than an athletic asylum for
tramp athletes or players who are stu
dents in name only.
1t is pleasing to note, by the way,
that tramp athletes these days are
finding closed doors almost every
where they look and that standard OF
eligibility and clean playing are being
even more widely recognized, If only
because the eleven that does not rec
ognize them finds itself pretty well
blacklisted when it comes to sched-
uling games.

FEDERAL COURT HOLDS MINERS
HAVE RIGHT TO USE PERSUASION

olis-International officials
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea expressed considerable satisfac-
ton over the victory won in Federal
Court, District of West Virginia, that
the union had the legal right to use
peaceful persuasion" in seeking min
ers to join the union without violating
an injunction issued in 1923 covering
part of the West Virginia strike
zone.
Henry Warrum, indianapolis chief
counsel for the organization, who
argued the case before Federal Judge
Baker at Wheeling, said that the de-
cision was one Of the greatest vic
tories ever won by unions and labor.
The decision upheld the contention
of the miners that their organization
work in the strike zone of West Vir-
ginia was not in contravention of the
injunction issued two years ago in
favor of the Virginia Pittsburgh Coal
Company against II international
and district officials of the United
Mine Workers. Judge Baker said in
open court that he would not grant
any further injunctions until he had
heard the arguments on the merits of
such cases.
The court set a later date to hear
presentation as to whether the
union officials had violated provisions

Sen. Reed Assails
The Volstead Act

Kansas City-Congress has thrust
on the federal courts "the petty and
abominable business of the police and
justice courts" Senator James A..
Reed asserted recently at Kansas
City.
'The federal courts of the United
States were established" said the
Senator, "to enforce the just laws of
the United States, enacted in pursu-
ance of the Constitution.
"Their jurisdiction should have
been confined to these great tasks. 1t
is shame Congress has thrust on
them the petty and abominable bus
mess of the police and justice courts" !"
Before enactment of the Volstead
law, the federal Judge enjoyed AN
almost perfect solitude remote from
contact with the people.
"But in an evil hour all was
changed. The Volstead act and div
ers and sundry other reform nos
trums were concocted. The judges of
the federal courts were appointed
doctors general to administer by
force of arms to a protesting, rebel
lious people,"

tion that the present-day labor
organization grew. 1t evolved
out of the needs of the workers,
that they might cope with COM
binations of capital.
obviously, labor organiza-
tions can not serve the workers
needs unless they are indepen-
dent, and unless they are organ
lied and administered by the
workers themselves. 1t is this
principle which distinguishes the
bona fide organizations of labor,
represented in the American
Federation of Labor, from the
so-called company union or
shop committees, originated and
formed under the direct super
vision and control of corpora
tlons' management.
The legitimate trade unions,
President Green showed, are
controlled by the members of
these unions, while the company

porations which control them,

When the st. Paul finally failed,
with liabilities Of nearly $500, 900,
the preferred stock hit bottom at
$500 and common stock at $3.50 per
share.
The St. Paul has 22,518 stockhold-
ers. Probably many thousands of
these are individuals who invested
their life savings in St. Paul stock.
But they are not the only victims of
the collapse of this 1000 mile rail
road system, the most colossal fail
ure in all railroad history.
Before the crash came, the direc-
tors of the road were smart enough
to make a modest call on the United
States Treasury for a "small loan"
of sixty eight million 1868, 8,000,000).
This tidy sum was borrowed from the
Railroad Administration and the In
terstate Commerce Commission under
the terms Of the lofty benign Esch-
Cummins Act of 1920. That law was
enacted upon the claim that railroad
thievery was out of date and that the
hieh-class bankers who now control
the railroads are an angel bank, ev-
cry man jack Of them wearing a halo
and packing harp in this crimeless,
christian age.
A federal court has appointed three
receivers to take charge of the St.
Paul: former Commissioner Potter,
who resigned from the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the nick of
time to accept a handsome retainer
for helping to 'reorganize" the road;
President Byram, under whom the St.
Paul was thrown into bankruptcy;
and former Attorney General Brund-
age Of Illinois, long the agent of Chi
cago banking and industrial interests
in state politics.
Meanwhile, three committees have
been set up as representatives respec-
lively of the bondholders, the pre-
ferred stockholders and the common
stock holders.
These committees are composed en-

mates and industrial kings. Betrum

Labor's Producing Power Grows;
Higher Wage Principle Is Upheld
WRITES SEC. OF LABOR IN LABOR REVIEW

Washington-Labor is becom-
ing more efficient and wages,
taking the country as a whole
and everything into considera-
ton, is not absorbing an unfair
share of the country's increas-
ing prosperity" writes Secre-
tary of Labor Davis, in the
Monthly Labor Review, issued
by the United States bureau of
labor statistics.
Mr.. Davis points out that the
value added to the raw material
by manufacture was Ali per
cent higher in 1923 than in 1921,
the number of wage earners in
the same period had increased
only 26.2 per cent and the
amount of wages paid "a per
cent. Or, in other words, pro-
duction increased nearly one
half, with an increase of one
quarter more workers.
I'VE hear enough ana more
than enough about the high
wage rates and the terrible
wages we have to pay for labor
in the United States," said the
secretary. "We hear very little
about labor cost in the finished
product. We hear very little,
entirely too little, of that marvel
of modern times, the efficiency
of the American laborer coupled
with the machinery or equip
ment with which he tolls. That
efficiency is increasing every
year.
"The question today is not
one of the productivity of labor
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-06-05

as between machine methods
and hand methods, but as be-
tween the machines of today
and the machines Of a year ago
or two years ago."
In summarizing the produc-
tivity of labor, Secretary Davis
said it took one hour and AZ
minutes of a mans time in 1916
to produce a pair of shoes. To
day it takes "a minutes.
In 1891 it required IA to Is
hours of one mans time to pro-
duce a long ton of pig iron. In
the Pittsburgh and Chicago dis
trict today it requires one hour
and 18 minutes.
Years ago textile workers op-
Grated four to six looms. To-
day, with wages reduced, they
are operating SO looms.
Forty per cent of our coal
mines, employing Is per cent of
the workers now in the indus
try, could, by employing them
all the time, produce all the Goa
that we could use or sell.
with our present iron and
steel equipment we can produce
in seven months our needs fo1
year.
"Our window glass factories
in II weeks can supply all that
we can consume in year."
Secretary Davis insisted that
the wage worker "have a full
share in the increase of produc-
tion that comes through i'm
proved machinery and factory
equipment"

The bankers got control of the st.
Paul in the middle eighties. Russell
Sage, J. P. Morgan, William Rookie
feller and J. Ogden Armour one at
ter another were the dominant fig
ures in the control of the road.
After enjoying tremendous profits
for a generation, the Rockefeller in
terests began back in 1906, to loot
the road from the inside. In that
year, William Rockefelled induced a
reluctant board of directors to under
take the so-called Puget Sound de-
velopment, by which the St. Paul
was extended and electrified beyond
the Missouri River to the Pacific
Coast. At that time, st. Paul pre-
ferred stock was selling at $218 a
share, and common stock as high as
S199 a share. The road had a sur
plus of $57,000,000.
Rockefeller's engineers estimated
the Puget Sound development woulC
cost $70,O0O,O0O. The estimate prov
ed to be between $100,000,000 anC
$130, 100000 short of the actual eX-
penditure Where this money went

Hill. Many millions of it was ex-
pended under contract with relatives
and friends of the directors and the
officials of the road. In any event
the surplus disappeared entirely ano
the St. Paul stocks went on the to-
boggan.
Before the break came the crafty
Mr.. Rockefeller (William, brother OF
John d. unloaded to Armour. This
was about the time that Armour was
especially busy cornering the market
on the principal food products of the
country, and before he found time to
"get out from under" his holdings
were sold at a loss no one knows how
great. By 1924 preferred had drop
ped from $218 to S32 per share, and
common from $199 to $18.75. The
bankers were "sitting pretty" They
had sold out at high prices, distribut-
ed the accumulated profits of the
road, and the public as usual was
left holding the sack.

Boycott Employers
Who Increase Wage

Washington-Leading building con-
tractors and construction financiers
in the nations capital have combin-
ed to block wage increases.
Any subcontractor who grants wage
increases cannot secure loans.
Investigation by committees of the
recent congress revealed that the rea-
son for high rents in this city is the
pyramiding of mortgages.
A senate committee discovered that
thirty-three apartments were mort
gagged for an aggregate of $9,OOO,OOO
more than their sales price. Figures
in other cases showed fictitious mort
cages encumbered property from 13
to as high as 307 per cent above
their sales price.
Interest on these debts, based on
inflated values, are paid by tenants
while the owners assure the public
that "high wages" are responsible for
exorbitant rentals.

of the 1913 injunction against acts Of
violence. This order was granted by
Judge A. G. Dayton to the same coal
company restraining the union, its
members from organizing activities
in the Panhandle coal fields, where
a general strike is on at the present
time. This injunction was later mod
flied by the U. S. Circuit Court of
Appeals to permit peaceful persua-
sion." These notifications, attorneys
for the union contended, were con-
tained in Judge Bakers order of 1923,
perpetuating the original Injunction
Counsel for the miners contended the
officials were not guilty of contempt
of court because the charges were
brought under the 1923 Injunction
and failed to take the notifications
into consideration.

The "Hired Mans" views on open
ing the Play Grounds on Sundays for
the innocent pleasure and amusement
of the families of those whose bread
winner is unable, because of six days
honest toll, to accompany his chill
dren to these beautiful and healthful
resorts during week days, has struck

whom have patted him on the back
and said ego ahead, old boy, you're

The "H. NJ" thinks he is all right
on this particular issue at least, and
believes that if the play grounds were
opened on Sunday it would prove a
blessing to many people who other
wise are deprived of enjoying it's ad-
vantages. Of course it would not be
necessary to open the ball diamond or
tennis and horseshoe pitching courts;
but for the little tots to play in the
sand boxes and enjoy the swings is
violating no law, moral or divine, and
should not offend the most exacting
demands of the devout and truly
Christian man or woman.

at is very annoying to the des-
potism of finance to have con-
gress investigate or denounce its
crime of juggling with money
and credit control, and so affect
the price level of commodities in
which the insiders of finance
have speculative interest.
Therefore, congress must be at
tackled from various sources.
Congress must be discredited be-
fore the country. The attack
against the American congress
seems to be of the same charac-
ter as the attack launched against
parliaments all over the world.
Industrial kings throughout the
world are fighting representative
government as an obstacle to their
steam roller methods. Formerly it
was militarism that fought govern
ments by the people. Frequently mil
itarism and the industrial king are
harnessed to the same chariot. Their
interests are one, and their ultimate
purpose is one-to rule in their own
might without the delay incident to
the consent of the governed.
"Deliberate bodies, elected by
the people, are taboo in the
camps of politico-co commercial
generals. Public debate, legisla-
tive investigation, popular senti-
ment, are nuisances to be abated.
Thus we find nationwide prop
aganda directed against congress.
at is directed less against the
lower house than against the senate
for the reason that in the house
there is freedom of debate no long
er. Therefore, the house has lost it's
former predominant influence in con-
gress and it's former position as a
great American forum Of debate.
''The representative who comes to
Washington with the thought that he
is the free and chosen spokesman for
250,000 voting taxpayers finds him
self struggling under sad delusion.
That day is long past. He can not
speak except by permission. He must
first get the consent of the rules COM
mittee representing the ruling dynas-
ty, and then possibly he may be as
signed a few minutes on the floor,
unless the committee decides that the
time should be controlled by anoth-
er.
Freedom of debate has been
abolished in the house, the Amer
ican forum, where once govern
ment of the people found full
voice in the eloquence and logic
