The Ford Galleries Co. didn't mechanic it's
mines. 1t has no conveyors or loading machines.
1t is using the same machinery that was used
ten years ago. It is clear therefore that the
direct speed-up is responsible for the reduction
of necessary time to produce one ton of coal,
and for more intense exploitation of the
miners -
There are various forms of the speed-up sys-
tenn. A miner is forced to load in one shift
whatever coal the machine cuts. If he fails
the next day he finds himself in the RAINY of
the unemployed.
The Mine, Oil and Smelter Workers Indus
trial Union raises very sharply the necessity
of struggle against wage cuts, speed-up, etc.
1t mobilizes and organizes the miners for a
decisive strike struggle against the speeding
up Of the miners
The Ford Galleries Co. mines are among
those that the M.O.S.W.IU. are concentrating
on. 1t is organizing miners, arranging for
Mine Bulletins, and preparing the miners for
struggle against this murderous speed-up.

COURTS and judges have actually more power
to limit the rights and legal status of labor
than has congress or the legislatures.
We often hear the capitalist politicians tell
ing the "people" to go to the polls and vote
for "good" Lawmakers. But the laws that
most vitality affect labor today are made by
appointed judges. The New York papers are
now full of a few of the dirty doings of these
black-clothed crooks who sit on "bench" and
send workers to Jail for disobeying their
Opinions" These birds really make the law
by interpreting" it in the light of the funda-
mental. concepts OF capitalism. They are COM
pletely responsive to their masters voice-the
voice of the employing class
The courts are, in fact the most effective
piece of capitalist machinery for strikebreak-
ing. Injunctons are of course, their hardest
club. But in addition to injunctions there are
many other ways in which the judges hit out
at the workers.
They often, by their own decisions, and even
without an injunction, declare picketng lille
gal, deciding with their prejudiced minds
whether it is peaceful" or not. They also
determine by their whim the number of pickets
to be permitted" in front of shop. How
often have we seen this sort of thing cripple
strike. And how often have we seen the
A. F. of L. leaders conform submissvely to
these rulings.
Yellow Dog Judges.
Judges have also upheld the legality of the
yellow dog contracts in which worker is
forced by his boss to agree that he will not
join union. This individual contract" is a
growing menace against the workers. The
courts are simply the back yards in which the
Yellow Dog is kept, we'll fed and ready to
attack the workers at any time.
Courts have also virtually legalized the
blacklist in certain forms, whereby the en-
ployers exchange information about workers
for the purpose of discharging those who talk
strike or resist wage cuts or belong to union.
These judges have also declared "unconstitu-
tional' laws which attempted to prevent en-
ployers from forcing workers to withdraw
from unions by threatening discharge.
Sympathy Strikes.

ton gathered within its old walls.
Through their untiring efforts and some
gifts from friends, additional remodeling
was done about rs years later.
According TO old records, the first
minister of the parish was Adam Men
zies, who is said to have been a
respectable school master" before be-
coming a minister, and doubtless con-
tinued this profession, as did so many OF
the early ministers after taking holy
orders, for schools were scarce in those
days and men capable Of teaching them
even scarcer.
Notable Ministers.
Notable among the ministers of a
more recent date was the Rev. Byrd
Turner, father of the well known poetess,
Nancy Byrd Turner, whose work has
attracted universal attention.
Piedmont Church is in Bromfield
Parish, which was cut of from st.
Marks Parish by act of Assembly in
1852, and therefore antedates the for
nation of the county in which it is
situated, for Madison County was not
cut off from Culpeper until 1892. Brom-
field Parish includes what Is now Madi-
son and Rappahannock Counties and a
part of Culpeper The present congrega-
ton is composed almost entirely OF
descendants of the 20 communicates
who formed the congregation when the
church was built a century ago, and
many of these people still live In the
,same old homesteads.

CULPEPER. Va, october 4.-Built in

Church in the quaint little county
seat of Madison will soon celebrate
its one hundredth birthday. and
IN honor of this the Episcopal families
in that section, which have always lad

Used as Stable.
During the War Between the States,
Piedmont Church, like so many other
churches and other public buildings, was
used as a hospital by both Northern
and Southern troops, and was naturally
somewhat damaged but the greatest
damage came when later on some other
troops used 1t to stable their horses,
anC on this occasion many of the pews
as well as other church furniture were
entirely destroyed.
About so years ago the old church
was remodeled and restored in part, and

TYPHOID CASES DROP
IN PRINCE GEORGES
-Four Less in September-Number
However, Leads Communicable
Disease List.
BY a Stan Correspondent Of The Star

BY Stan correspondent OF The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, October
4.-Typhoid. fever led the list of COM
municable diseases in Prince Georges
County in September, IL cases being
reported, according to the monthly re-
port of DR.. A. B. Hooton, county health
cficer. No deaths from the disease
were reported during the month.
DR.. Hooton points out that the num-
Der Of cases of typhoid in the county
was four less than in August In
September, 1929, only one case of ty-
phoid was reported.
In regard to the typhoid situation, the
report says: Most of the cases have
been removed to hospitals outside the
county. Investigations have been made
to determine, If possible, the origin Of
the cases.
I'm some cases personal contact with
undiagnosed cases has seemed respon-
sible. others were apparently 1y-borne,
coming from open toilets used by early
cases or possible carriers.
"A rumor of undetermined origin
gained Roadway in one community that
small outbreak had resulted from
contaminated milk. However, an in
vestigation showed that only four cases
pasteurized, II days prior to the de-
velopment of two cases, Is days prior
to one, and 36 days prior to another.
mo carriers were found at the dairy
after repeated examinations, which
would not seem to indicate a milk
borne origin. Disposal of sewage in a
dry creek was probably responsible for
one case, and possibly polluted water
in another. The need OF good santa
ton has been stressed where investi-
cations were made and through the
press"
The report also shows a slight in
crease in both the birth and death
rates in the county over the previous
year.

URGE HALF HOLIDAY
FOR u. S. EMPLOYEES
Federal Bar Association Cites
D. C. Law in Appeal to
President Hoover.

The question of whether Government
employees here should be granted half
holiday on Saturday throughout the
year, in view Of an existing law in the
District of Columbia, has again been
taken up with President Hoover by the
Federal Bar Association, it was an
nounced last night. Yesterday marked
the first day the Federal employees had
worked the full day since Spring.
The Bar Association has trans
mitted to the President that part of
a report by Corporation Counsel w. w.
Bride which holds that every Satur-
day, after IL o'clock noon, lis a holi-
day. in the District of Columbia for
all purposes. "in accordance with the
provisions of section 1889 of the code of
the District of Columbia.
A letter also was forwarded the Presi-
dent from Col j. Miller Kenyon, preSi-
dent of the Bar Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the latter stating it
would be IAN act of supererogation to
ing Saturday a half holiday for en-
ployes of the Government" Col. Ken
yon holds that the existing law should
be all that is necessary for the grant,
ing of such holiday the year round.
Meanwhile it was suggested to the
President that the extending of half
holidays through October and November
until Congress acts upon pending legis-
lation regarding half holidays would
be satisfactory solution at present. A
bill relating to the matter, it Is pointed
out by the Federal Bar Association,
passed the Senate and was favorably
reported from the House Committee on
Civil Service.
A meeting Of the executive council
of the Federal Bar Association evil be
held in the Interior Department Tues

cation. A committee will be appointed

of the organization from its location on

the moving to take place at once.
1t was decided by the executive COM

larger than was needed, and that the
affairs Of the chamber could be more
economically handled in the realty
company's Offices. which are of suficient
size to easily handle the Chamber of
Commerce affairs without interference
to those of the Brumback Co.
The chamber is busily engaged in
