Negro Labor Meeting
Discusses Class Courts
BY THOMAS l.. DABNEY

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Nov. 15.-
The American courts were severely
criticized at last Sundays Forum of
the Philadelphia Council, American
Negro Labor Congress by Miss Char
lotte Jones of West Chester, Pennsyl
vania. Speaking on the subject: Is
there Justice in the Courts z" Miss
Jones asserted that "justice in our
courts is based on class interests"
and cited all history to prove it.
During the discussion speakers ex-
posed the courts as guardians of the
rights of the ruling class. Our courts
are directed as much in the interest
of our corporations and bankers as
the executive and legislative branches
of the government. In view of this
fact speakers pointed out that the
workers can never expect to get
justice by appealing to the courts.
A glaring example of court pre-

ing class was exhibited by Judge
Thayer in Sacco-Vanzetti case. The
Supreme Court of the United States
disregarded every principle of decency
and Justice by killing the Child Labor
Amendment.
While opposing courts and CAPT
talist government, A. J. Carey warned
the audience against developing OPP
position to all government. He pointed
out that political power is not neces-
sarily bad 1t depends upon who con-
trolls the government and what is the
purpose of those who have political
power. In Russia where the workers
control the government political
power is being used to promote the
interests Of the masses.

did little if anything to create them"
But Still Conservative.
1t has this conservative after
thought, however: "Organized labor
has no quarrel with those who honest
ly acquire great wealth, but it does
insist that at death a just portion of
those fortunes should go to the peo-
pie who helped to accumulate them,
and to the states to prevent them
from growing larger and larger and
becoming too dangerous to the public
welfare"
Argument was also advanced by
the federation that if estate taxation
were left to the states alone, the
states would compete in eliminating
these taxes, in order to attract rich
men to hold their property in their
jurisdiction. 1t demands that federal
taxes be made a permanent feature
of the tax system. 1t suggests that
prosperity is very limited, since only
% per cent Of the people pay income
taxes. The other Ill 100000 people,
it says "must have accumulated very
little money"

erstitions, treacherous traditions, and
outworn conventions, love is not so
much a problem as an experience.
Courage, however, is required to
throw off those lecherous traditions,
superstitions, conventions. When they
are welded to the emotions by de-
cades of propaganda, by years of i'm
questionable fabrications, by the sub
tie arts of priest and politician, it
takes courage, and plenty of it, to
tear these paper-mache wings from
our shoulders, square off, and dare
the world with balanced chip. But
this is what the rebellious young peo-
pie of Mr. Malleson's do, with an air
of intellectual ruthlessness that must
have had it's beginnings far from
Greenwich Village.
The story, which isn't overburdened
with ideas, is this: John Freeman has
confessed he no longer loves his fan
Gee. Quite boldly. he announces that
he has found his mate elsewhere. A
round-table conference follows before
the fire, in his attack, in which his
sister, his fiancee, modern young
woman, and a successful young play
wright take part. And they discuss,
of course, the problem of marriage;
but they attack this old-fashioned
bug-aboo as though it were the new
est thing.
They have an honest-to-goodness
revivalist struggle with the devil,
with sweetness and light to pep up
the bout, and Old Nick, the saints be
praised, wins out. John gets his lady
love, the dilemma is solved, and down
comes the curtain.
Love has not only caused most of
the litigation of the world, and most
of it's misery, but, more's the pity,
much of the worlds literature. But,
though Mr.. Malleson does not succeed
in solving the riddle to the satisfac-
ton of the die-hards, at least he man
ages. to correlate the opinions of pre-
sent-day youth on marriage, love, and
kindred topics. Which is license suf-
ficient, to employ well-worn theme.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-"There
is nothing more dangerous to the
country than accumulation of enor-
nous wealth in the hands of the few"
was the keynote of the protest against
repeal of the federal inheritance tax
which was made to the Way and
Means Committee of the house, Oct.
9, by the American Federation of La
Dor. This protest was presented by
w. C. Roberts, chairman of the Fed
eration's legislative committee.
"Those who accumulate fortunes
great enough so that their estates
pay the federal tax" said Roberts,
"obtain their wealth through the good
will of the whole American public.
And good will has been declared by
the supreme court to be property. :.
All the forces of government are
freely given to the protection of these
fortunes, both before the death of
the owners and after they have been
tate tax results in the distribution of
this wealth for the benefit of the
whole people"
Poor Pay Anyway.
In these terms the conservative ma
jority of the American labor move
ment threw itself across the path of
the tax-dodgers' lobby which has
brought scores Of state officials to
Washington to secure repeal of the
federal tax on dead mems fortunes.
"You have been told by Mr.. Mellon
that CTS per cent Of the population
pay no federal income taxes what
ever" the protest went on. "Never
theless, the % per cent who pay fed
eral taxes had previously passed them
on to the 97.8 per cent, in whole or
in great part. But the estate tax
cannot be passed on.
''Legacies received by heirs of great
estates have justly been called I'M
earned income, for few of the heirs
had anything to do with their accumu-
lation."
Quote Andy's Confession.
1t quotes Andrew Carnegie's con-
fession that his fortune "came from
the American public, the partner in
every large enterprise where money
is made honorably," and his pious
declaration that "the growing dispo-
sition to tax more and more heavily
large estates left at death is cheer
ing indication of the growth of a
salutary change in public opinion. By
taxing estates heavily at death the
state marks it's condemnation of the
selfish millionaire's unworthy life"
The federation asks, in unwonted
mood, "Who is more entitled to a
share in such fortunes than the peo-
pie who made them possible?. 1t
should be the American policy to de-
mand that this tax be levied to pre-
vent in the future the perpetuation
and further accumulation Of immense
fortunes. in the hands of those who

not expecting that everything
that is now wrong will be made
right in one day, but rather with
the idea OF consolidating the ire
mendous power that lies in their
collective action applied at the
right time under central
direction. This very combination
has been successfully at work in
connection with fish and game

great army of men who find their
sport along our beaches and inlets
win join our ranks, l am con,
vinced that the continual lessen

arrested-if action on the part Of
the State of New Jersey can
arrest it.
"Just one word more: the
League is not unaware of the diff

water situation. We realize that
others beside the sportsman are

believe that the time has come to
convince every sportsman and
citizen who is interested in the
outdoors that the New Jersey Fish
and Game Conservation League is
just as much interested in Salt
water fish and coastal pollution as
it is in fresh water fish and the
pollution of inland waters. Frankly,
while most of their leading clubs
are affiliated with the league, the
salt water anglers have not taken
of it to any degree as
those interested in fresh water
and as the mountain has

 IF JEWISH REPUBLIC
 RIBBONS 0F EMERSON

MOSCOW, Aug. 31. P)-Nuclei for a group of Jewish soviet republics within the Soviet union have been laid in the regions of Kherson, Khar- kov, Minsk and Odessa.
 The Bolshevik government intends Ultimately to give these regions full local autonomy, allowing the Jewish
 settlers to create their own district soviets and administrative bodies.
 The dream. of thousands of Jews for
 within the boundaries of their native a National Home" of their own
 Russia is thus made reality.
 The colonization of Jews in the new areas will include, of the 3,000,- 900 Hebrews in Soviet Russia, only about 100000 whose extreme pover- ty and social situation makes it de- sirable to give them opportunities for agricultural and industrial devel- opment in the new republics" To date, the government has allotted
 more than 25O,OOO acres of free lands to the Jewish colonists in the Kher-
 son, Kharkov and Odessa regions.
