KILLING CONVICTS
NOTHING new

Birmingham, Ala grand jury
that is seeking responsibility for the
death of James Knox, convict in the
Fat Top mine, has secured evidence
that other convict miners died the past
year because of brutal treatment.
Prisoners barred their bodies to the
grand jury and exhibited welts and
cuts inflicted by "straw BOSSES" The
convicts said these STRAW bosses" at
tempted to start a strike of prison
ers when Warden Davis was suspend
ed from duty pending the Knox in
vestigation. Instead of agreeing to
strike, the convicts chased the STRAW
bosses" from the mines. The con-
victs said they used dynamite to drive
from the mines other STRAW bosses
who attempted to shield prison author
tiles.

SHIRKINC CITIZENS
Failing to Help Solve Gov
ernment Problems Con-
demned By Judge

Washington. - Reformers, profess
sional politicians and citizens who fail
to realize their duties of citizenship,
were criticised by Chief Justice Floyd
f. Thompson, of the Illinois supreme
court, in an address to the American
Law Institute.
"A distinct tendency in this age"
the jurist said, "is to claim the politi-
cal rights of citizenship without
accepting the attendant moral obliga-
tions.
"There seems to be an idea among
some of our social and political re-
formers that if the political mechan-
ism were good enough the citizens
would be relieved of any responsi
bility of running the government" he
said. "They are continually tamper-
ing with the machinery, but give little
attention to the machinists.
''To say that men of character can
not be placed or kept in public office
is to say that the American people are
incapable of self-government. No cit
izen is doing his full duty who does
not help solve everyday problems of
government, but who, the moment
some reverse of fortune befalls, the
constant citizen comes forth to criti-
cize and condemn.
"As long as politics is game the
professional will always have the ad-
vantage over the amateur. AS long as
the unselfsh, public spirited citizen
takes an active interest in politics
only when conditions become SO rot
ten that the stencil stiles him we can
expect the public service to be what
the minority who continually play the
political game make it.

indianapolis, Ind.-For the first
time in the history of the United
Mine Workers of America, the union
has decided to find out whether law
works both ways or whether it is
made for only one side in an industrial
controversy. For the first time the
union is making use of the injunction
process as means of protecting
itself from the assaults of the coal
operators who seek to repudiate their
contracts.
The Cleveland q Morgantown Coal
Company, coal corporation owned
by the Purseglove Corporation of
Cleveland, Ohio, operating in West
Virginia, repudiated it's agreement
with the United Mine Workers and
undertook to operate it's mine on
non-union basis with reduced scale
of wages. The violation of the con-
tract by this company was so fragrant
and brazen that the United Mine

building trades, and a special para
graph was inserted in the agreement
by Judge Lands himself which was
understood to authorize union work
men to refuse to work with non-union
men.
"The agreement was so interpreted
after the Lands award by both unions
and contractors until about a year
ago, when one group of contractors
had an ex-parte hearing before Judge
Page and secured an opinion that the
agreement meant something else.
Gave Way on Rights
Although the building trades were
not parties to the hearing before
Judge Page, and did not think his in
depreciation the correct one, never
theless, rather than disturb building
activity, we refrained from insisting
on our right while the meaning of the
agreement was in doubt.
Nov that a new agreement is to
be made, we insist that this right to
refuse to work with non-union men
shall be clearly stated. But at the
same time we do not propose any ar
bitrary strikes; the agreement pro-
vides that when contractor is found
violating the agreement by employing
non-union men the matter shall be
called tn the attention Of the Joint CON
ference board, which is empowered to
investigate and adjust the matter be-
fore any union men shall leave the
job

ORGANIZING MEXICANS

Miami, Ariz.- Mexican workers in
the copper section of this state are
being organized by the Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers Union. The Mex
leans are displacing Americans with a
dual standard of wages on all outside
work, while in camps that are Mex
icanized these workers are paid
about 60 per cent of the wages in
other camps.
The Mexicans do not approve this
system, and are aiding in the union

Father Congedo, boyhood chum of Valentino said farewell The body was then taken to the undertakers to await the arrival of brother.
 As Ciccolini sang Massenet's elegy, Jean Acker wept and Miss Negri was so overcome by grief that the Tal- madges and Miss Pickford who were also weeping, had to- support Miss Negri.
