Peace For Americas, Green's Demand
AS Pan-American Labor Federation
Opens Its Greatest Convention
EDITOR OUT
Charged With Contempt Of
Court Is ParOled

indianapolis. George R. Dale,
Muncie editor, who faced a 90-day sem
tence in jail and $500 fine for al
legged contempt of court imposed by
Judge Clarence w. Dearth, of Della
ware county, has won "Scotch YER
dict"
He has been paroled by Governor
Jackson, on recommendation of the
trustees of the Indiana State Farm
The release was granted under the
usual conditions" This means that
Dale's fine must be paid at once, that
he will remain under supervision of
officials of the State Farm for the
term of the parole and that he must
go through the formality of being
committed to the institution and must
spend nominal time there as a pris-
oner.
The sentence was the elimination of
a three-year fight that grew out of
an article in Dale's paper, the Muncie
| Post-Democrat, alleging political cor
ruption in Delaware county politics.
He attacked Circuit Court Judge
Dearth, and was held in contempt of
court. On appeal to the Indiana state
supreme court, that body ruled that
the truth is not defense in contempt
cases. Dale lost an appeal to the
United States supreme court on a
technicality.
Judge Dearth was afterwards i'm,
peached by the Indiana state senate
but was acquitted by small majority.
At these hearings many of the
charges made by Dale were sustained.
The case attracted nationwide at
tention because of the Indiana su-
! preme courts ruling.

EQUAL SEX" PLAN
Opposed BY Western Wage
Women

Denver.-Trade union women of
this state are protesting against the
national women's party declaration,
at their recent Colorado Springs con-
vention, in favor of a constitutional
amendment that would remove from
the federal constitution all reference
to males.
The Colorado Labor Advocate refers
to the women's party as can auxiliary
to the republican party" and declares
that the amendment is "a disguised
attempt to rob women in industry of
all protective legislation"
The members of the women's party
called on President Coolidge at his
summer home in the Black Hills. The
visit was we'll staged and press
agented. Trade unionists agree that
many state laws infict inequalities
on women, but they insist that
changes can be made by state legisla-
lures.
If constitutional amendment were
passed the evils would not only be re-
moved, but all women's legislation Sc
cured through trade union effort
would be annulled.
The national women's party claims
that the amendment will have a con-
trary effect. They can hardly be con-
sidered an authority on the subject,
however, as few of them work for
wages.

head of the New York district, was
elected president of the International
Longshoremen's Association at the
convention just ended He succeeds
Anthony J. Chlopek, of Buffalo, who
held the office for three two-year
terms. Chlopek will become the
unions representative in the federal
compensation bureau. In this he will
have the important duty of winning
compensation for injured dock work

necessary to have federal legislation
to cover the workers along shore.
This having been enacted, the union

Compromise Strike Settlement
Ends Menace Of Big Traffic
Tie-up in Chicago District

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago.-The 100000 persons re-
siding in Chicago and adjacent terri
tory were given 24-hour thrill by
the strike and lockout of 2,400 gaso-
line station attendants and 500 oil
tank truck drivers recently.
The area affected embraced all of
Cook county, part of Lake county,
as far north as Lake Forest; one-third
of Du Page county, as far west as
Downers Grove, and part of Lake
county, Indiana, including East Chi
cago, Whiting and Hammond.
Lockout Follows Strike
Negotiations had been in progress
between officers of the union, of which
Patrick Berrell is the president, and
representative of the oil companies
since early in June. A strike finally
was declared against the Sinclair Oil
Company. This was quickly followed
by lockout of the employees of the
Standard Oil Company, Texas Com
pany, Roxana Petroleum Corporation
and other companies.
The strike and lockout occurred on
Friday, and it looked very much as
if 100000 automobile pleasure seek
erS were going to have gasless
Sunday. A settlement was reached
early Saturday, however, and all sta
tions were open for business by
o'clock in the afternoon.
1t was compromise that ended the
lockout and walkout Truck drivers
and flling-station employees had de-
manded a SIS a month increase and
weeks vacation on pay each year
for the drivers. The drivers lost the
vacation, but were given a $3.50 a
month increase, and the station en-
ployes SIS more a month The latter
will be on a graduated scale They
now receive S140 a month, but here
after they will get $120 for the first
month, $3.50 for the second and third
months and $145 for the fourth month
and thereafter The agreement is for
two years.

Miners Certificate Laws
Prevent Use Of Green Men
In Attempt to Break Strike

BY International Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind-There will be no
reduction in wages of the miners of
the organized soft coal fields of the
country. Neither will the mines be
worked by union men while the strike
is on. Most of the organized states
in the coal regions have miners cer-
tificate laws which provide that man,
before he can be employed in a coal
mine, must pass an examination as to
his fitness as a coal miners. These
laws prevent the employing of green
and incompetent workers.
In Illinois, typical of the mine sus-
pension in other bituminous regions,
there are 10000 miners - and no
traitors to unionism among them.
These men will not return to work
at reduction in wages. They are not
apprehensive of the final outcome of
the struggle to force conditions, ram
pant forty years ago, on the miners
of today. Operators, however, are be-
ginning to "view with alarm" a situ-
alton they themselves created. The
Jolly old dividend" is growing tenu-
ous-in fact, fading to nothing. In
the Jacksonville wage scale days the
operators of Illinois made substantial
profits. They could make them now,
| if they paid the scale. No operators
in the country, not even excepting
West Virginia non-unionists, are in
| better position, in all material aspects,
to pay the old wage scale than the
! Illinois operators. Mining costs are
low, quality OF product excellent
marketing occupying a strategic stu
alton, and other factors in harmony.

| Illinois miners, pointed out in a state
ment to the public and the union mem
bership, that the miners were not re-

ROCK-DUSTED MINES
WILL PROTECT LIFE

Washington-Sta prove the
life-saving value of rock-dusting in
mines, but because the plan is not
compulsory, it is not generally adopt
ed by coal owners.
Partial rock busting provides no
assurance of safety, as this system
may result in an unwarranted sense
of security, said Director Scott Turner
of the United States bureau of mines.
"To provide adequate assurance
against deadly mine explosions, all ac-
cessible open areas should be thor
oughly rock-dusted, including haulage
entries, air courses, rooms, cross cuts
and pillar regions. The rock-dusting
should be replenished from time to
time to hold the incombustible con-
tent of the rib, roof and floor dusts
at all times over 65 per cent.
There have been, since January /,
1926, ten major explosions in partly
rock-dusted and non-rock-dusteC
mines in contrast with seven explo-
sions of limited character in rock
busted mines. In the former, 555 mer
out of 934, or 60 per cent of the men
in the mines, escaped. In the rock
busted mines, 2,078 out Of 2,135, or 81
per cent of the men in the mines al
the time of the explosion, escaped
death"
Director Turner said the cost O.
rock-dusting is comparable with acci
dent insurance premiums, apart from
the humanitarian and psychologi,
value in saving life and improving
morale in coal mining.
