QUITS UNDER FIRE
Injunction Judge Balks On
Facing Impeachment
Trial

Washington.-Facing impeachment
trial before the United States senate
on charges of abuse of power and
other high misdeamors, Federal Judge
English, of the eastern district of
Illinois, handed his resignation to
President Coolidge.
BY quitting under fire the house of
representatives may follow precedent
and drop the case on the theory that
English is now private citizen, and
that the purpose of the impeachment
proceedings is to remove from office
an official whom the house has de-
termined is unfit to further perform
the duties of his office.
The investigation which led to the
impeachment of English was started
by the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch in
October, 1924. The newspaper brought
evidence to show that he was tyran-
nical and abused the powers of his
office, and that he showed partiality
and favoritism in bankruptcy cases.
English was connected with bank
ruptcy ring and manipulated bank
ruptcy and other funds for the bene-
fit of referees, himself and his son.
His treatment of members of the bar
in his court was coarse, indecent,
arbitrary and tyrannical."
During the nationwide shop mems
strike English's court was known as
an injunction mill. He thundered his
insults at strikers, issued court orders
without number and denounced work
ers for their defiance of law and
order"

By Mayos For Senator La
Toilette

United States Senator Robert M. La
Follette-Y Young Bob-has just gone
to the May Brothers Hospital at
Rochester, Mimi, for an examination
of an infected leg which had been
giving some trouble.
Senator Bob's condition is reported
as satisfactory and the examination
was more in the nature of proper
precaution than as the result of any
acute condition. The senator has just
come through the Wisconsin cam
paign with his choice as senatorial
colleague from Wisconsin the winner.

"All building labor seems we'll en-
ployed.
Winter Decline Less Severe
Indications are that the seasonal
decline in building employment this
winter will be less than in past years
unless unusually severe weather is
encountered. This is due to the fact
that builders are becoming better edu-
Gated and equipped to cope with ad-
verse weather conditions and are ar
ranging their work in such way as
to provide winter employment.
Reports on wage changes from
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try show that small increases, rang
ing from 11a to 121a cents an hour
have been granted in about forty
trades in Ia cities. These increases
were reported from Atlanta, Ga;
Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit,
Duluth, Kansas City, St. Louis, Day
ton, Nashville, Tenn; Norfolk, Va;
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Read
ing, Pa.
Small Cuts in Three Cities
reductions were reported from
Philadelphia, Salt Lake City and At
lanta These were very small and
mainly due to surplus of common
labor and some skilled craftsmen.

Big New York Cloak Shops
Settle With 5000 Strikers;
$4,000 Workers Still Out
Forty-Hour Work Week Won in Principle By
Agreement Made With Manufacturers After
Twenty Weeks Bitter Struggle--Long Fight
Big Strain on Financial Resources of Union

By international Labor News Service
New York City-The long cloak
strike is virtually ended; the big shops
have settled, leaving 10000 to $4,000
workers still out hoping to break down
in the coming month the resistance
of jobbers and their contractors to the
basic union terms agreed to last week
by the Manufacturers Industrial
Council.
Ratification of the terms has Just
been announced, 10000 cloakmakers
in referendum voting 5000 to ac-
cept and 5000 to reject the settle
ment. This officially ended the con-
troversy for the major portion of the
trade.
Longest Needle Strike
The strike has been the longest in
the history of the needle trades, last
ing 20 weeks. 1t has cost the union
$2,000,000 thus far. With the press
ing need for the thousands still on
strike and those who settled but who
can not go to work until the season
begins month from now at least
S500,000 more will be expended
The strike is neither a union de-
feat or victory. 1t was settled with
the most vital demand left in abey-
ance-namely, guarantees that would
have kept the industry from leaving
town by establishing a season of 36
weeks work and limiting the contrac-
tors a jobber might engage to make
up garments for him. However in
principle the union won the 40-hour
week which is to be established in two
years. The strikers go Immediately
on the basis of AZ hours work a week.
They gained a substantial increase in
minimum wage scales.
Thousands Still Out
When the Industrial Council came
to terms with the union it ended the
strike for the major portion of the
workers. According to union esti-
mates the situation at present is as
follows:
Working in settled shops........18, 900
Industrial Council shops .......... 5000

Exposure Of Irregularities
In Philadelphia Voting Brings
Mounting Tide Of Indignation

BY international Labor News Service.
Philadelphia investiga-
tion of the recent election in Pennsyl-
vania, in which William S. Ware was
announced as winner over William
B. Wilson, for United States senator,
was favored by Senator Thomas J..
Walsh, of Montana, in a statement
here on the outcome of the contest.
Senator Walsh said that Mr.. Wilson
should enter contest of the Ware
election before the senate, and afford
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions an opportunity to thoroughly air
the matter
even if there is evidence of fraud
in only few of the election pre-
cincts, the contest should be fled"
said Senator Walsh. "That would be
sufficient to justify an examination
into the matter"
Ware adherents in Philadelphia,
worried and depressed over the situa-
ton that has arisen out of the cleo
ton, are putting forth every effort to
stem the tide of indignation in the
state and prevent further inquiry into
the matter.
Ware Shows Alarm
Mr.. Ware rushed back from his win
tn,, j - L. L
lieutenants in the matter, and to ar
range plans for meeting the issue in
the senate. He was obviously worried
and for the first time since the revela-
tions of the huge slush fund expendi-
lures in the primary last spring, cast
aside his genial humor, and showed
impatience.
In addition to the huge sums which
were explained to the Reed commit
tee of the senate, 100000 remains
to be explained. The individuals who
contributed the money have refused
to say where they got it, and Senator
Reed has announced that he will pre-
sent their names to the senate when
it convenes for citations of contempt
Two Mysterious Items
One of the items is for $150,000,
which was contributed in a lump to
the Ware cash barrel, but it's origin
| has been carefully concealed.
The other contribution of $4,000
has been surrounded by mystery, and
| its donor, "Big Tom" Cunningham,
has refused to shed any light on the
matter. Cunningham was summoned
to Chicago last summer to appear be-
fore the committee after his where
abouts had been unknown for three
weeks.
More Funny Work" Revealed
Discrepancies and Irregularities in
the election in Philadelphia continue
to come to light The number of
Zero" divisions for Wilson is larger
than usual, however. These Zero"
divisions under the state law have
unusual significance. The law says
that two of each five precinct officials
shall be drawn from the minority
party. But where the returns show a
Zero" for the minority party candi-
dates, and indicate there is no minor
ity party, then all of the precinct
board comes from one party.
The Ware crowd has succeeded ir
getting complete control Of the pre-
] cinct boards in many parts of the

Labor's Determination to
Hold All Ground Gained
Stirs Employer Interest

By International Labor News Service.
New York City.-Wage scales of
building craftsmen throughout the
country are generally holding firm
and there is no indication of any i'm
medite widespread downward revision
of rates, according to national sur
vey of labor conditions in the building
industry just completed by the Build
ing Economic Research Bureau of the
American Bond & Mortgage Com
pany
Building labor conditions are sum-
married., in part, as follows:
Building crafts plan to maintain
wages and working conditions at
tanned during building prosperity
period.
Bonus payments and practice of
contractors bidding against each other
for men have practically disappeared.
Little interference to building oper-
ations from strikes expected this
winter.
Plan Short Week Campaign
Building unions with largest mem
bership in history plan renewal Of
campaign for five-day week.
'The building industry is now be-
ing favored by more pronounced
tendency toward stabilized labor
casts" said the survey. Conditions
of employment and labor rates gener-
ally during the last 60 days have
shown but little change.
"While contractors in practically all
the larger cities have decided against
higher wage rates, they are showing
disposition to cooperate with the
building trade unions and peacefully
adjust wage disputes. AS result,
labor conditions generally are quiet
and no serious troubles have hindered
constructive, except in few locali-
ties, where an effort has been made to
establish the open shop or the
unions are engaged in inter-union
strife.
Trades to Hold Ground
Determination of labor to maintain
indefinitely the high wage rates they
have obtained during the last two
years was expressed at the convention
of the building trades department of
the American Federation of Labor at
Detroit, Mich, last month. The build
ing unions unanimously decided tc
hold their ground, and maintain to
the utmost of their ability, the wage
scales and conditions which have re-
quired SO many years OF effort to OBJ
tain They also declared that wage
reductions were out of the question
at this time.
''The largest membership in history
was reported by the 16 national and
international unions represented at
the convention. These unions, which
have paid-up membership Of 574, ,497,
gained 30,592 new members during
the last year. This was the largest
gain reported in any one year since
the building trades department was
organized in 1908.
Carpenters Union Gains
"The United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, the largest
building trades union, which is not
affiliated with the building trades de-
partment, has membership of 404,-

membership of the II building unions
affiliated with the American Fedora

DR.. L: S. Rowe Tells Washington
Study Causes of Many Govern

The federal governments of Mex

their former administrations, and the
people have not the heritage of self
government to understand it's forms.
DIR. L. S. Rowe, director general of

But even with their difficulties"
he added. these countries have saved
themselves from some errors into
which the United States has fallen.
For example, both the United States
fail in their judiciary in that so long
a period of time is necessary to in
sure the completion of a trial by the
Supreme Court. In some Latin
American states the Supreme Court
is divided into sections, each with
complete judiciary powers, and thus
cases may be disposed of more ex-
peditiously."
