Mr.. Teagle's suggestion that oil pro-
ducers themselves are conscious OF the
necessity OF curbing oil production In
dicates that the desired end can prob
ably be brought about without drastic
legislative measures. If these should
seek arbitrarily to restrict output there
already have been hints that some lead
ers of the American oil trade would
resist them to the bitter end, even to
the point of contesting the conStitu-
tionality Of such laws. Thanks mainly
to the fabulous consumption of oil for
automobile purposes, production in the
United States has vaulted to gigantic
proportions An unlimited output in
the natural course of things means low

in developments which now seem to be
brewing In the oil world.
At Elizabethton, Tenn. Herbert
Hoover may have had oil conditions in
mind when he said.
Democracy must be master in It's
own house It can assure the conserva-
ton of our governmentally controlled
natural resources in the interest Of the

the power of regulation it can prevent
abuse. It can and must control natural
moncpolies in full public interest"

Coolidge Wishes to
Rush Ship Sale

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-
President Coolidge has let the press
know that he is indignant at the slow
progress made by the Shipping Board
in selling the governments merchant
fleet. He notes that one member of
the Board has voted against every
proposed sale of ships. Coolidge's
view is that the government cannot
operate ships, although it is now do
ing so, because governments are not
run for profit-making, and all bust
ness is run for the sake of profit.
While he does not definitely advo-
cate ship subsidy, he thinks the public
treasury must aid private operation
through mail-carrying bonuses and by
making officers and crew part of
the naval reserve. These proposals
will be fought by the organized labor
lobby at the capitol if they are pro-
posed in a bill.

Loud speaker, ana MS Garner
"Roger Boomer"
"The international" aims to be a
satire upon the devious processes OF
international diplomacy and h e
world struggle for oil. Unaware,
however, of the intricacies and all the
social and economic implications OF
this struggle, Lawson's play becomes
a romantic and ingenious medley of
improbable situations and people, OBJ
sessed with romantic conceptions of
the world revolution.
Curiously enough, there are no
workers participating in this world
revolution. The only "revolutionists"
in "The International are: the young,
handsome son of a millionaire oil
magnate; a neurotic adventures, SEN
timental and sexually predatory;
Karneski, a Russian Bolshevik for
merly from Railway, N. j., who wan
ders about inexplicably in far-flung
Thibet; and Rubeloff, an extremely
unconvincing conception of Soviet
commissar. The millionaire's son,
David Fitch, is reminiscent of some of
Upton Sinclair's messianic college
boys, impregnated with the dubious
philosophy of pre-war radicalism.
Undoubtedly the play is entirely too
ambitious. Wherever Lawson intro
duces the element of high-spirited
satire he is very successful. For in
stance, the scene describing a finan-
cial conference in which two Ameri-
cans and one Frenchman discuss the
high aims of civilization in terms of
oil concessions and cash is the most
effective in the play. When, how
ever, Lawson attempts to erect a
philosophic structure of world revo-
luton, he reveals the intellectual con-
fusion characteristic of most liberal
minds.
Another scene whose effectiveness
is tragic rather than satirical, is the
one in which the Negro prostitute de-
scribes how she strangled one of her
"lovers." This scene is a surprising
interlude in the predominant jazz
tempo Of the play.
The sets and lighting effects are
unusually striking. Despite its num-
erous inconsistencies and irrelevances,
the play is worth seeing.

U. S. Prohibition in s
Years Costs S70,000,000

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Eight
years of the National Prohibition Act,
completed today, have cost the Fed
eeral Treasury alone a total of $170,-
100000. Starting with appropria-
ions of $2,220,00O for the first six
months of the act, and $6,350,00O for
the fiscal year 1921, the annual out
lay for Prohibition enforcement has
now reached $35,000,000. Loss of
taxes derived from the manufacture
of spirits and liquors, and the con-
struction of 25 destroyers at a cost
of $37 100000 must also be figured in
the bill.

Of Cincinnati as examples of indus

path to peaceful evolution" The
question is of course: Do all workers
have to wait for the second coming of

they behaved naughtily?
christianity" may be alright if
there is power to enforce it. If it is
merely taking the gait, then it is
good only for the aggressor In a
world not yet developed above a Jungle
it is hardly advisable for workers to
accept ideas of meekness. The world
is far too hard boiled and the CAPT
ralists far too militant for such in
! diligence.
Mr.. Fddy's five points for The So
luton of world problems hinge on the
basis of religious experience. Simple
life, brotherhood, peace, redemption
OF the social order and a new dis
covery of God is the bare outline of
his recipe for social cure. What
either of these points involves he does
not state. Neither does he tell us
bow this transformation may come
about, or who is going to superinduce
this hypnotic spell over mankind that
men may suddenly cease from their
conflicts.
| The book means well. 1t states the
problem soberly, and Christian gen.
tleman would feel elevated by it's sem
timents. But Mr.. Eddy does not once
mention the aims of a labor move
ment. He does not see the world as a
conflict of eXploiters and exploited
which can cease only when the work
ers tire of shouldering the social bur
dens. He does not see the function of
wars, nor the meaning of revolutions.
Despite history's ten thousand years
of painful progress, he does not learn
anything from it.
While he states the case well, it
must be admitted that he becomes
flat when it comes to the program
for doing something about it. He
must remember that the working
class cannot wait for Christian pro-
gram, but must take definite sides in
the struggle.

up of wealth in America at the ex-
pense of the rest of the world. "Our
annual income is greater than the en-
tire wealth of most other countries,
including the sixty millions of Ger
many, the hundred and fortythree
millions of Russia. Yet, with the
world IN our debt, score Of less
favored nations will have to pay into
cur already filled Golfers vast sums
for several generations to come"
What this means to the average
worker he shows by another COM
ment; "A mar of the middle class
in England must work eight months
to support his family and four months
of every year toward paying the ma
Jional debt"
Yet in these United States, this
richest of all countries, poverty
reaches its lean fingers for hand
out wherever we go. Labor works
long hours for low wages. Hundreds
of thousands of workers live in homes
owned by others. "Eighty-two per
cent of the American people pay no
income tax" Eddy writes.
The lesson of Jesus is apparently
forgotten. Manufacturers, financiers,
bankers, are bent on getting all they
can out of the world. Exploitation is
The order Of the day. Inevitably this
will bring about more wars which
will further wreck the social struc-
ture.
The picture appears dismal to the
good man until he spots certain IN
dividuals who are in a small way
shown to be regenerating society.
There is "Bill' Simpson of Passaic,
modern est. Francis of Assist" who
gave up the pulpit to embrace a life
Of poverty, preaching among lumber
lacks and railroad navvies the gospel
Of love. "He became convinced that
new spiritual and social order would
come not by change of system but by
change of heart" Elsewhere he says,

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 15.-Over 200
striking coal miners picketing en-
masse scattered the scab working
force of the Y. & o. mine Number 2
at Rush Run, about five miles from
Steubensville, O., Friday morning.
George Lacrosse, a striking miner,
was arrested at his home by two
deputies yesterday and charged with
melting to riot.
The Y. and o. mine, which had
been working on a fake cooperative
basis, was compelled to close. The
striking miners patrolled all roads in
the vicinity of the mine.
Want Gunner Deputies.
Sheriff William T. Allison sent a
request to the county commissioners
for sufficient funds to maintain a
special force of deputies to protect
the scabs.
The operators are preparing fever
ishly for the opening Of two of the
largest mines in the county Monday
on an open shop basis. The sheriff
stated that the mine owners had sent
several of their gunner to him to
be sworn in as deputies.
The Pittsburgh Ohio Miners Relief
Committee today sent representa-
tive to Steubenville to keep in touch
with the situation.

newspapers here. R. W. Henderson,
the miners attorney, was himself in
the hall when the police made their
attack on it, and aided materially in
the negotiations with the troopers
which finally resulted in calling off
the attack and commandment ct the
hall. He testifies, as do all others in
the room, that no one inside did any
shooting.
The physical evidence supports the
statement of Henderson: bullet marks
all showing that shots entered from
without; no bullet marks outside
to show shots fired from the win
dows; pools of blood inside in one Of
which the dead body of Chavez lay,
indicating that he did not fall out of
window from which he was shooting,
as the police claim.
Denies Declaration.
The attack on the parade, and af-
forwards on the hall, was made by the
police under authority of declara-
ton of martial law, said to have been
issued by Governor Adams, the only
man with legal right to proclaim
martial law, Adams now denies that
he issued any proclamation. However,
the copy used was signed by his d.
rect representative, Lewis N. Scherf,
head of the state police, and by the
mayor Of Walsenburg, John Pritchard.
A resolution of the city council, pro-
hibiting demonstrations, was passed a
week before the shooting, and con-
tains quotations from this faxed pro-
clamation-if it was faxed.
The mayor and Scherf were directly
and personally in command of the
troopers who did the killing Thursday,
and cannot escape responsibility for
that.
Papers See Radical Plot.
The newspapers are playing the
whole thing up as a sensational radi-
cal plot to murder the police, and are
keeping absolutely silent about the
mysterious declaration of martial
law, denied by Adams. The press
continually alludes to 'inflammatory
speeches made at meeting before
the parade, but in reality there were
no speeches on the proposed parade,
but only arguments about the indus
trial commission, and the case before
i.
IS more difficult to dodge re-
sponsibility in the Walsenburg kill
ings than it was in the Columbine
massacre, because the Columbne
murder took place before hand picked
state witnesses, far from town, and
the Walsenburg affair was in the
heart of the city, where many, miners
and non-miners, saw everything.
Not In Parade
Evidence is coming forward to
show that the sixteen year old boy,
Salistino Martinez, who was riddled
with bullets by the state police when
they opened fire on the miners par
ade, was not either a miner nor was
he in the parade. Neither was he the
man who shot and wounded state po-
lieeman Maxwell W. Lordeman, as po-
lice claim Several witnesses say
there was another boy who fired with
an automatic pistol, from or near
the sidewalk, and who was allowed to
escape by the police, his part in the
plot against the miners evidently be-
ing to get the shooting started.
Martinez was the sole support of
his grandmother, mother and her
four other children, and they contem-
plate suit for damages for his death.

FRUIT CLERKS TO
VOTE ON STRIKE
Gain Many New Union
Members in Drive

Possibilities of general strike of
fruit, grocery and dairy clerks thru
out New York City were seen with
the announcement yesterday by the
Grocery, Fruit and Dairy Clerks
Union that a strike vote on general
strike will be taken at mass meet
ing Sunday afternoon, April 6, at
Bronx Lyceum, $500 Third Ave, near
10th st. If voted, the strike will
take immediate effect, union officials
. said.
Fruit and vegetable clerks thruout
the city are rapidly joining up with
the organization, the union spokes-
man declared. He gave as the reason
for this the fact that in the first
struggle of the organization, one of
the largest owners of fruit stores,
having stores thruout the city had
capitulated to the union after strike
lasting several hours.
The clerks at present are working
up to IA hours day, 7 days week.
The agreement reached with the big
firm referred to calls for a 10 hour
and 6-day week at $40 per week.
