STREET CARS NO
LONGER NEEDED ?

Baltimore.-Streetc cars are no long
er necessary, according to Raymond S.
Williams, special counsel for the pub
lie service commission, in an answer
to a court petition of the local street
car company that the commissions
ruling against straight 10-cent fare
be set aside. The commission fixed
the fare at three tokens for quar-
ter, or 8 cents straight.
If the street car system were aban-
doned because of physical or financial
catastrophe, Mr. Williams said, there
would be no duplication or reconstruc-
ton. People are using the automobile,
he said.
AS result, he argued, what the
company regards as a demand for it's
services is actually only the effect of
its monopoly. If the monopoly were
abandoned, he declared, transporta-
ton by bus would be substituted by
capitalists of today. The attorney cit
ed the traffic on Fleet street, in Lon
don, where, he pointed out, the street
is narrow, yet bus transportation, the
only kind available, carries the heav-
lest traffic on any street comparable
in the world.

DOOMED TO DEATH
Five Young Women Told
Radium slipped From
Brushes Marked Them for
Grave.

Newark, N. j. G. L. N. S.)-Five
young women, healthy as far as ap-
pearances go, stood in chancery court
here and heard scientists pronounce
them victims of an incurabe malady
sentenced to die.
The young women had been employ
ed in painting luminous figures on
watch dials, using radium paint.
They were poisoned by wetting the
tiny paint brushes between their lips
so as to draw the tips to fine point,
not knowing, SO they assert, that by
so doing they were taking fatal
poison into their systems.
The young women-Miss Katherine
Schaub, Mrs. Edna Hussman, Mrs.
Quinta Mcdonald, Mrs. Albina Laris
and Mrs. Grace Fryer-were in chan
Gerry court to get an order permitting
them to sue the United States Radium
Corporation for total of $1,250,O0O
They contend the corporation is re-
sponsible for the creeping death that
doctors testified soon will send them
to their graves.
The case has been adjourned to Sep
tember "a, without defense testi-
mony having thus far been offered.

Two Important Labor Bills
May Pass Before Present
Session Of Congress Ends
By International Labor News Service

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, ID. C.-Two bills Of
great Importance to American labor
may be reported out and acted upon
before this session of Congress ends.
There is hope for success in both
cases.
One is the Hawes- Cooper prison la
Dor bill, which would permit states
to legislate against prison-made goods
from other states and which would
soon smash the vicious contract la
Dor system. This bill passed the
House May Is, by vote Of 289 to 40.
The other is the Bacon bill, import
ant to building trades. Under this
bill all contractors having government
work would be compelled to give pref
erence to citizens of the state, war
veterans coming first and then other
citizens. This would stop the present
practice among many contractors of
taking with them crews of workers
employed at less than the rate pre-
vailing where the work is done.
If these two bills are adopted labor

Senate Hearings Prove All
Charges Made by Miners
OHIO SCHOOLS
Reached by Utilities in Fight
on Public Ownership

Washington.-The Ohio public utili-
ties have perfected the art of molding
public opinion, according to testimony
before the Federal Trade Commission.
The commission is probing these util-
tiles under order of the Senate.
Fred j. Bollmeyer, director of the
Ohio utilities publicity bureau, said
that text book entitled "Aladdins OF
Industry" has been placed in the class
rooms of high schools and colleges
throughout the state. A report on the
publicity bureaus work described this
distribution as the Outstanding ac-
complishment of 1926"
The bureau conducted survey of
the textbooks used in Ohio schools,
opposed a $1,000,0OO bond issue pro-
posed in 1925 for the Cleveland mu-
nicipal power plant, secured publicity
in 625 Ohio newspapers, organized
women and arranged for speeches in
opposition to municipal ownership.
The Ohio bureau made an especial
effort to interest schools and women
in opposition to public ownership
ownership movements.
Bollmeyer testified that his bureau
spent $4,000 to assist the State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs in conduct
ing an essay contest among students.
1t was stated that the Ohio Cham
Der of Commerce employed S. S. Wyer
to write a pamphlet in opposition to
Boulder Dam. Wyer came into prom
inence few years ago when he at
tackled the Ontario hydro electric un-
dertaking and let it be understood he
represented the Smithsonian Institu-
tion at Washington.

OUR EXPENSIVE WAR
By FRANKLIN E. WOLFE

According to official figures sup
piled to the United States Senate by
Secretary Wilbur, the cost of main
tanning the marines in Nicaragua
from May a, 1927, to April 16, 1923,
was $3,530,170 more than if the force
had been retained at home stations.
But that is but a small part of the
expense. The incalculable debt we
must pay for loss of standing and
prestige with Latin America is not
reckoned in dollar marks and figures.
Again, we pay a price in the lives
and health of the American youth who
are down in tropical jungles fighting
blindly without the slightest idea that
they are making the sacrifice for dol
lars and cents of American money
kings who care not whether they live
or die so long as their opportunity for
exploitation continues.
Native Nicaraguans are paying the
price, too. A war of invasion always
falls as terrible burden on any coun-
try. The men fighting our marines be-
lieve they are doing their patriotic
duty in resisting the encroachments of
American capitalists. They have no
personal enmity for our boys there,
but believe they are defending the
very liberty of their nation.
There are many thoughtful Amer
leans, honest and patriotic, who do
against the Central American Repub-
not endorse the policy of the admin
istration in this undeclared war
lie. Many of them are in the United
States Senate and House of Congress.
There are many of us who believe
there should be no war conducted
anywhere without observation of the
constitutional provisions and that
Congress alone should have the pow
ers conferred by the founders of this
Republic. Some of US are even radical
enough to believe that warmaking
power should never, under any cir
cumstances, be left to the bankers and
money monarchs of Wall street.

UNION LABOR LIFE
GAINS SUPPORTERS

Washington, D. C. e. L. N. ST.
While progress in the organization
of agencies goes forward at scheduled
pace or better, support is coming to
the Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany from many quarters not connect
ed with the trade union world in which
the company was organized to func-
ton and to serve.
The company's remarkable record
as revealed in the presidents first an
nual report, has brought forth con-
tinuous friendly comment. One of the
most recent important indications of
this support, gratifying to the com
pany and its great body of trade union
stockholders, is from Walter S. Fad
dis, president of the Caldwell Wingate
Company, builders, 101 Park Avenue,
New York City. Writing to President
Woll, Mr.. Faddis says:
Dear Mr.. Woll: | am in receipt of
your letter of May 7th concerning the
Union Labor Life Insurance Company
of which you are the president.
Il am very happy indeed to know of
this fine company. Organizations such
as this and the splendid efficiency of
the labor banks do more to stabilize
and instruct your men than any
amount of talk and agitation

Testimony Reveals Brutality
AS Settled Policy Followed
By Nom Union Coal Operators
Investigation Has Shown Public and Congress Urgent
Need of Legislation to Correct Terrible Evils of BIZ

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-The United
Mine Workers of America are highly
gratified by the progress made at the
bituminous coal hearings before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce When the Johnson resolution
was adopted and the hearings began
the miners union filed with the COM
mittee a long list of grave charges
against non-union coal companies and
important railroads. They charged
that many of the coal companies arbi-
trarily violated and repudiated their
wage contracts with the union men
and then went on a non-union basis
and reduced the wages of their en-
ployes. 1t was alleged that this con-
tract-breaking policy of the operators
was responsible for the present cha
otic condition in the industry. Impor-
tation of breakers from the
slums of the great cities and South
ern cotton fields; employment of hun
dreds of armed gunmen who were
turned loose upon peaceable commu-
mites; hundred of evictions of union
miners and their families were some
of the startling charges made by the
union.
Further, it was charged that a num-
ber Of the great railroads were en-
gagged in a conspiracy to help the op-
orators to destroy the United Mine
Workers of America by refusing to

buy Undermined coal and shifting
their purchases to non-union fields of
| the south.
Every charge made by the United
Mine Workers of America was proved
by plenty of evidence at the hearings.
Conditions of brutality, terrorism and
degradation were uncovered by the
testimony that are almost unbelieye-
able. The American public stands
aghast at these revelations. Intimi-
datiOn, oppression and the wiping out
of all civil rights of mine workers
were brought vividly to the attention
of the Senate committee and the pub
lie. All of these terrors were dis
closed as part of the policy of non
union coal companies.
Two outstanding results have been
obtained from the investigation. First,
it is doubtful if any previous case of
this character ever received the aston
ishing amount Of newspaper publicity
that was given to this inquiry. News
papers all over the country devoted
column after column to the coal stu
alton day after day for weeks. And
lit is significant that nearly every one
of these stories in the papers tended
to create public sentiment in favor of
the miners. People who never knew
anything about or paid any attention
to the coal industry learned that there
is something radically wrong with it..
They learned things that they had
never dreamed of.
Remedial Legislation Demanded
AS result, there is today in Amer
lea public demand for remedial leg
islation that will rescue the coal bust
ness from total destruction. The de-
moralized condition of coal reflects it.
self in all other industries, because
coal is a fundamentally necessary
commodity. Hundreds of newspapers
have demanded editorially that some
thing be done to cure the ills of coal
Second, the Senate inquiry has
opened the eyes of both branches of
Congress to the necessity for govern
mental action. Heretofore Congress
has paid little attention to the coal
question. Numerous members have
made strong speeches on the subject,
all urging governmental attention,
and many more are preparing to do
likewise.
Bill Being Formulated
The Senate committee has received
many suggestions and recommenda-
tions for legislation. A sub-commit-
tee is now engaged in an effort to for
mulate bill, and there are hopes that
the bill may be introduced at the
present session. There does not ap-
pear to be any question that, since the
inquiry brought to light the appalling
facts, Congress will undertake to en-
act legislation to salvage the coal in
dustry and at the same time protect
the interests of the workers employed
in it.

will have won on issues long fought.
In addition to these two bills of ma
tional Importance, Congress has at
last approved bill to provide work
mems compensation for the District
of Columbia. The bill extends to work
ers privately employed the same pro-
lection as that afforded longshoremen
by Federal statute.
On the injunction bill there is no
hope for action in this session, but,
it is reported, there is hope for action
early in the fall session. Senator Cur
tbs, handling the bill in Senate, ap-
pears disinclined to seek to pass the
bill in the last hours of the session,
preferring to take the time to whip
the report into the best possible shape.
He takes this view, it is said, solely
because it is realized that action in
the House can not be had in this ses-
sion. Senator's and counsel are now
hard at work in the formulation of
report, seeking draft upon which
the Senate committee and representa-
tives of labor can agree.
