SEAMEN CALLED
MONOPOLY VICTIMS
Pacific ShipoWners Accused
in Supreme Court of
Illegal Practices.

By the Associated Press.
Shipowners on the Pacific Coast
were accused in the Supreme Court
yesterday of practicing an unlawful
monopoly under the Sherman and
Clayton acts in the employment of
seamen.
The controversy reached the court
In an appeal of Cornelius Anderson
in behalf of himself and other seamen
against the Shipowners Association
of the Pacific Coast and the Pacific
American Steamship Association. It
was conceded these owners controlled
substantially all vessels sailing from
Pacific Coast ports and that coast
seamen virtually were dependent upon
such vessels for employment.
Restraint of Trade Claimed.
Counsel for Anderson asserted that
under an agreement among the ship
owners a seaman seeking employ
ment was required to register at an
agency established by the owners, OBJ
thin number and await his turn.
1t was argued this constituted not
only monopoly but restraint of in
terstate and foreign commerce.
Counsel for the shipowners, deluged
with questions by the court, asserted
employment Of men was not COM
merce and that lower Federal courts
Tere correct in holding the controver'
~ presented no Federal question.
Chief Justice Taft asked whether
the employment register could not
be construed black list, counsel
replying emphatically that ii could
not. Members Of the court expressed
unwillingness to accept the argu-
n1ent that employment Of seamen
might not he an interference with in
ferstate and foreign commerce.
Owners Deny Charge.
merely had agreed among themselves
TO transfer employment of seamen
from captains and mates TO an en-
ployment bureau. and that there was
nothing illegal about it.
That is the question we have
here to decide" interjected the
Chief Justice.
Justices McReynolds, Brandeis and
Sutherland particularly combated ar
guments designed to sustain the con-
tention that no Federal question was
involved, while the Chief Justice
stated the facts seemed to indicate
shipowners had arranged themselves
into a combination which regulated
employment of those engaged in in
terstate commerce.
Shipowners' counsel contended,
under questioning, that owners were
at full liberty to decide among
themselves how they would employ
seamen, and that until seamen went
aboard they had not entered COM
merce.

Subscription, $1.5O A Year In Advance

In the twenty years, 1900 to 1920,
the population of the United States
increased almost 40 per cent, while the
number Of persons engaged in agrlcul-
ture increased 4 per cent. ~lp-
During this period, production Of
Wheat increased SO per cent.
Corn increased 80 per cent
Cotton increased AZ per cent.
Cattle increased 81 per cent.
Hogs increased 6S per cent.
What is the explanation?
For one thing, the value of farm
implements and machinery increased
almost 400 per cent during this period.
Further, our farmers applied new me-
thods of cultivation; proper treatment
of soil, selection of seed, rotation of
crops, scientific breeding and feeding.
The United States is producing more
per man today than any other nation
in the world.
Agriculture is specifically cited here,
but what is true of agriculture is true,
in even a greater degree, of manufac-
turing and mining and transportation.
We could present startling statistics,
but they would bore the reader, and
anyway. the facts are all about us.
We read recently of the application
of modern methods to ditch digging.
Four miles Of water pipes were laid
and there were three hand picks used
on the whole job. The digging was
done by a steel belt to which were at
tached small scoops As the dirt was
lifted it was moved to the side of the
road. As the pipe was laid, man fol
lowed with contrivance which scrap
ed the dirt back into the trench.
Most of the men employed ON this
job came to work in automobiles. In
stead Of the dirty ragged clothes, once
associated with ditch diggers, they
wore khaki shirts and breeches, and
leather puttees They were a clean
shayen. outstanding lot of men.
Quite contrast with the type of
labor employed in this work twenty
years ago.

"If we get consolidation, there will
be no demand for teachers only the
higher grade teachers" In other
words, it will knock too many boys and
girls out of job.
Well, some 400 years ago the Chin
ese opposed the Introduction of labor
saving machinery into their country
on the grounds that too many people
would be thrown out of employment.
As to our farms going back to the
state for taxes If we can't educate our
children we had better let the farms
go for taxes, and let us go where there
are schools for where farm is too
poor to support the schools with funds
to educate the children growing on
and cultivating that farm, it certainly
would not be very much TO leave for
our children.
But l think there is no danger Of
any man losing his farm on account
of his school tax being too high.
The wealthy farmer can send his
children to town to educate them but
the poor old farmer who follows Jude
and Beck" will have to manage some
way besides sending his boy or girl off
to school and it seems to me the best
plan is to do what we can and let
the more fortunate men help us bear
the burdens.
1t is known fact that taxes are
high, but as for school taxes, well, it's
just a kind of pleasure to pay 'em.
As for me, 1 am for fewer and better
schools and Wen study about the cost
later. Respectfully,
Leo Kitchener

About Amendment No. 13

In reply to Mr.. John WhitrOck's
letter, | wish to say that | think Mr..
Whitrock will not hear much said
against Amendment No. 13, from the
simple fact that most everybody sees
and realizes that something must be
done for our schools.
First, Mr.. Whitrock seems to mis-
understand the meaning of the pro-
posed Amendment.
1t does not say we will I've compelled
to vote the full Is mill tax, no more
than the people in his district are COM
PEELED to vote the 10 mill limit we now
have, (and they only voted 8 mills
this year,.
1t only gives us the privilege to vote
1S mills and I'm sure most of us would
gladly take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.
As to our boy or girl getting a rural
school and teaching a term or two to
help pay their way on higher-befOre
"A boy or girl can really teach, he or
she must go on higher, then do the
| teaching
You don't hear of man getting out
and practicing medicine to get money
to go to medical college ON. No, he
must manage for his money to go TO
school on, then, practice his profes-
sion, and as l see it the same should
hold good with our teachers at least
to a great extent.
! spent three years in the school
room, and / believe if Mr. Whitrock
would try teaching in a one room
school with 80 or 60 pupils, ranging
from the Sth grade on down, as We
have them in the present school sys.
TEN which he is upholding. he would
go back home, vote for the 18th Amend
ment and for consolidation, and doubt
If he could ever find courage to tell his
! wife even, that he had ever opposed .
good school tax and good schools.

600 in 1882, when this republic was
founded, there has gone on in the 14O
years of national existence since, such
intensified conversation of natural re
sources to human possession and use
that the national wealth of this repub-
lie alone now equals O,OOO,OOO,OOO.
"If the corn crop today were to be
raised by the methods of 1856 it would
have required 150,O00,000 working
days. Improved machinery has reduc-
ed the time to 43,000,000 working days,
vast economy in releasing manual
labor to other industries producing
other articles for human service.
"The first reaper was invented and
used in 1890 If we were required to
raise our present wheat crop by the
methods of 1890 It would take $780,
100000 days of labor. Improved mach
inery has reduced the time required
to 100000 days"
We are not all millionaires in this
country yet. We will never all be so
rich that we can travel the high seas
in private yachts. I'm not sure that
would be desirabl ble-there wouldn't be
room. So many Of us now own auto
mobiles that we are running into and
over each other.
However, If we are reasonable, and
patient, and If we are willing to go
forward in an orderly way, avoiding
disastrous shortcuts, we can, perhaps
within the lives of many now living,
arrive at a state of economic we'll
being that will make us as happy
as we were ever intended to be.

Alvin s. Irby
To My Friends and Supporters in My
Race For Chancellor of This District:
| have always regarded it unfair to
make any issue or inject anything into
campaign on the eve of an election,
whereby my opponent should be, by right
of courtesy, entitled to an opportunity to
make reply and defend the ISSUE
My attention, however, has just been
called to statement in The Newport In
dependent purported to have been sign
ed by ten citizens of Batesville in behalf
of John B. McCaleb who opposes me in
this campaign. The statement alleges
that at city election held some years ago
in Walnut Ridge received only II votes
in my ward for alderman. This state
ment does Mr.. McCaleb great injustice
and grossly misrepresents the facts, and
am impelled in fairness to all parties to
unqualifiedly say-this statement is
wholly untrue if not I'll quit the race.
My home people are solidly behind
me in this campaign as evidenced by my
magnificent endorsement received, not
only at the hands of the people represent
ing every walk of life but the Democratic
Central Committee of Lawrence County.
And l again call your attention to the
fact that Mr. McCaleb himself has never
received the endorsement of his home
county central committee; nor has he de-
MED he voted against our party and for
the Bull Moose Ticket.
l appeal to my friends to disregard
this 18th hour political statement and re-
main firm in the faith.
