The DissentiOn and Delay of
PrObers Hurt American
Industries

Washington, D. ca senate
committee is uncovering meth
DDS employed by the United
States tariff commission to
maintain high customs duties,
while domestic manufacturers
who demand "protection" COM
pete with Europe's cheapest lab
or.
Thomas o. Marvin, former LOBBYIST
for New England high tariff inter
ests, is chairman of the commission.
Testifying before the senate commit
tee, Alfred P. Dennis, vice chairman
OF the commission, told a story of
dlssension and delay that is the COM
missions rule
No action has been taken on the
cotton hosiery case, said Mr.. Dennis.
To prove the need for tariff reduc-
tions in this industry, Mr.. Dennis
said that American manufacturers ex-
port goods in competition with So
called pauper labor in other countries.
He pointed out that Americas annual
production of cotton hosiery is ST.
100000 pairs, of which 5,159,750 pairs
are exported. Imports are only 427,-
900 pairs.

ALABAMA IS in ILL REPUTE
FOR CONVICT LEASE PLAN

Birmingham, Ala.-The death of
James w. Knox, a convict in the Flat
Top prison, near here, has created
the biggest sensation in this state
since Alabama established the sys-
tenn of leasing prisoners to coal oper-
ators and other private interests.
Knox, was convicted in Mobile
county of forging $50 check. He
died few days after arrival at Flat
Top prison. The death certificate
stated that he died from bichloride of
mercury, taken with suicidal intent.
In report to Governor Brandon, At
torney General Davis denies the sui
eide charge and includes this state
ment by DIR. Walter c. Jones of Birm-

death it seems that discoloring pois-
on was injected artificially into his

GROWING FAST
Workmen's Compensation Fund In
creasing Hand Over Fist

Columbus, O.-Over 100000 more
was paid into the state workmen's
CONDENSATION law during the month
of March than was paid out, and at
the end of the month there was
balance of 49,853,615 in the fund.
The members of the industrial COM
mission in order to make the fund
increase of its own accord as fast as
possible have $46,559,576 invested in
government, municipal and other
high class bonds. Receipts for March
were at the rate of $3.50 for every
working minute of the month while
expenditures of money paid to de-
pendents totalled $1,204,251 for the
same time. No insurance company
in the world is on a more firm finan-
cial basis than the Ohio fund is at
the present time.
New rates for employers will be
determined on July /, and a substan-
tial reduction in many classes is ex-
pected at that time.

Fourth st. Paving

According to reports our hon
,orable Mayor may perhaps mag
Unanimously grant to the prop
erty owners who will pay for re-
surfacing North Fourth street
the privilege of having the work
done in the manner they wish
and in accordance with the
plans and specifications adopted
by the city council.
For some unknown reason Mr..
Mayor put his finger in the pie,
as it is said it was at his sugges-
tion the Service Director, with
the consent and approval of the
Board of Control, entered into a
supplementary contract calling
for two foot brick strip next
the curb in place of twelve and
one-half feet as originally spec
flied.
This did not meet with the ap-
proval of the property owners or
that of the City Solicitor, who
got busy and secured a tempor-
ary injunction against continu-
ing the work, already under
way, on the supplementary con-
tract.
1t should be understood that
no injunction was secured, con-
templated or intended against
proceeding at any time with the
job as originally planned by the
ordinance and which was en-
tirely satisfactory to the men
who owned the abutting prop
erty and who would pay for the
work. They can crack ahead
any old time, and the work
would now be nearing compile
ton if they had let well enough
alone.
While the mixup was being
aired it is said the Mayor agreed
to a proposition to put it up to
the property owners, and to do
as a majority of them desired.
So they cast lots, and the lot fell
on the twelve and one-half foot
scheme. This should have fin
ally settled it, but now His Hon
or is quoted as saying that if
the injunction suit is withdrawn
he would allow the work to pro-
ceed. If not he will ask Council
to rescind the former legislation,
and thus delay the improvement
indefinitely.

Broadcasting
Free Use of Air to Be Tested
by the Labor Unions
of Chicago

Chicago, Ill.-The Chicago Fedora
tion of Labor announces that it's
broadcasting station with the call
letters w. C. F. L. will be on the
air some time in May.
The station will be located on the
municipal pier, permission having
been granted by unanimous action of
the city council.
Secretary Ed. Nockels states that
repeated efforts have been made to
induce the United States Department
of Commerce to grant an assigned
wave length and a permit to operate,
but, in spite of the fact that many
wave lengths are not in use, the de-
partment has declined to act.
Permit or no permit, the station
will go on the air, on the theory that
the air is free.
In addition to broadcasting high
class entertainment by members of
the Actors Equity Association, the
station will carry discussions of i'm
portant issues affecting the working
people of the country.
In a word, it will be a free forum
for the presentation of all progress
sive and forward looking questions.
Sufficient finances to carry on the
venture have been secured. The first
contribution amounting to $4,000
was made by the Chicago Typograph-
ical Union, No. 16, and q number of
other large unions have since fallen
into line.

TIRED OF DELAY
Shipstead Would Probe Western Long
Standing Railroad Strike

Washington, D. ca senate in
vestigation of the strike of engineers
and firemen on the Western Mary
land railroad is proposed in resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Ship
stead.
The strike started last October John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., has declined to
use his good offices for peace, al
though he owns one-quarter of the
railroads stock.
"This is no ordinary strike. There
is something sinister in its circum-
stances" said Senator Shipstead.
"It comes at the very period when
there is concerted effort to attain the
means of peace on the railroads. Mr..
Rockefeller, who owns 25 per cent of
the stock of the railroad, should be
called to the bar of public opinion for
seeking to avoid a responsibility that
is as plain as a pikestaff."

y ENITO MUSSOLINI and his Ro-

ages in order to stimulate accidental
death or suicide"
The probe of convict leasing by
state officials has uncovered an un-
believable condition. Defenders of
the leasing system insist that Knox
died in from 20 to 40 minutes after
he took the poison, but DR.. Jones re-
ported that bichloride of mercury is
a slow poison which requires at least
several hours to produce fatal re-
suits.
Testimony showed that Knox, who
was large man, was beaten because
he could not produce the proper
amount of COAL Convicts who adj
minister these beatings are known as
check runners. They are not requir-
ed to shovel coal. They keep check
on other convicts and are paid bon
us for coal produced above the tasks
of the convicts.

urging that the support Of Russia be
accepted and the British defied. Kemal

Suggests Use
of Convicts to
Break Strike
Pen Officials Offer Use of the
Prison Foundry to
Defeat MOIderS

Nashville, Tenn.-Prison Off
cials of this state offered con-
vict labor to break a strike of
Alabama iron molders, according
to David Hanly, legislative rep
resentative of the Tennessee
State Federation of Labor.
The trade unionist made this state
ment in connection with his attack on
Lewis S. Pope, commissioner of insti-
tutions, who appeared before a con-
gressional committee in Washington
to oppose a bill that would destroy
the Interstate status of convict-made
goods. This bill would place these
goods under the law of the state in
which the goods are sold.
Mr.. Hanly said that when the stove
foundry contract in the Nashville
prison expired, the contractors at
tempted to secure a cheaper contract.
1t was then that Mr.. Pope attempt
ed to induce the Alabama concern,
whose iron molders were on strike,
to come to the Nashville prison.
The prison shops are operated 10
hours a day on the piece-price sys-
tenn. Under this plan the contractor
furnishes the machinery and raw ma
terial and pays the state an agreed
amount for the work done ON each
piece or article manufactured by the
convicts. The contractor is required
to furnish a man to supervise pro
duction.
The convicts are flogged for bad
work and for failure to perform the
tasks set.

EXPENSIVE
Wheeler Frame Up Cost Government
$61,312 Say Reports

Washington, D. C.-The attempt of
the department of justice, under H.
M. Daugherty and his successors, to
"frame" Senator Wheeler, of Mon
tana, cost that department $61,312,
according to a report submitted to

While the money was spent by the
department of justice, the burden
goes back to the taxpayer, who really
supplied the cash for the fool politi-
cal stunt.
