RETIRED AT s7

T. Coleman du Pont emerged after two years from retirement, into which he had gone at the age of '37, to achieve his greatest business and financial success.
 Although member of the fa- .mous Delaware family that has been accumulating wealth from it's equally famous powder works since the beginning of the 18th century he had nothing to do with the powder industry until after he had won success and fortune in other lines.
 Educated as an engineer, MT. du Pont when young man was especially interested in coal mining and upon completing his course at Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology entered the employ of the Central Coal sand Iron Company at Central City, Ky. Eventually, he became President of the company.
 In 1893 he turned to the steel industry as General Manager of the Johnson Steel Company at JohnstoWn, Pa He remained with that company until 1900, meanwhile launching into the street railway business with the purchase of the lines in Johnstown, of which he became President. Other street railway properties were acquired in New York, New Jersey and Ala bama.
 In Mining Industry
 When he severed his connections with the Johnson Steel Company, MT. du Pont returned to the min- ing industry as President of var ious coal and iron companies in Kentucky. Having amassed what he regarded as sufficient fortune when he reached his 37th birth day anniversary, he retired from active business and went to live at Wilmington, Del, the home of his ancestors and of the great du Pont powder industry.
 Two years later upon the death of Eugene du Pont, who had been head of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, his brother had de- cided to sell the property. It was then that T. Coleman du Pont was persuaded to come out of his re- tirement and assume the manage ment of the company. The du Fonts at that time controlled sev- eral other companies similarly en- gagged.
 These were consolidated into one which was called the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Company with Coleman du Pont as President and General Manager. The business of the new organiza- tion grew apace, so fast in fact, that in five years it was referred to as one of the leading trusts of the country.
 Suit Is Brought
 The business attained such pro- portions that it attracted the at tention of the United States Gov ernment, which in July, 1907, brought suit to dissolve the cor poration on the ground that it was operating in violation of the Sher- man antitrust law. A decree was issued ordering the dissolution of the so-called trust" and by agree ment with the Attorney General

The present deep-going crisis is increasing
the misery and exploitation of both unemployed

Speed-up, part-time employment, wage-cuts,
and mass lay-offs produce the conditions for q
fighting unity between the workers on the job

A Victory for the Auto Lien
Holders

Auto manufactures as well as auto lien holders
scored a victory in the highest court Of the republic.
Automobiles seized by the government for the unlaw-
full transportation Of liquor must be confiscated under
the prohibition law. The government sught to obtain
a ruling under which it could exercise its discretion
whether to bring condemnation proceedings against
the automobile under the internal revenue law.
Then the owners and lien holders would have no
opportunity whatever to recover. In a unanimous
decision rendered by Justice Holmes, lien holders and
owners will be able to recover their automobiles when
so seized if they satisfy the court that the unlawful
use Of the automobile has not been authorized This
decision applies only to automobiles seized while be-
ing used in the unlawful transportation Of liquor.
OF course, the decision was Of great Importance 70
financing companies, which annually hold liens Of
approximately two billion dollars on automobiles be-
ing purchased on the deferred payment plan. A pre-
vious decision by the court held that when an auto
mobile was seized and he driver arrested and prose-
cuted under the prohibition law, the automobile must
be confiscated under that law.
IN this decision the court left open the troublesome
question OF what the government could do when the
persons arrested for the illegal traffic had not been
prosecuted. AS stated above, under the latest de-
cision, lien holders and owners will be able 10 re-
cover. IF they satisfy the court that the unlawful use
OF the automobile has not been authorized"

Negroes Cannot Be Segregated

A lower federal court held invalid an ordinance Of
Richmond, Va, being that the segregation Of the races
by prohibiting negroes from occupying houses in white
neighborhoods. Now the supreme court of the United
States has affirmed the decision OF the lower federal
court, and segregation Of whites and negroes is "un-
lawful because 1t IS unconstitutional"
This is the ruling of the court OF last resort.
1t will be possible in the future for a congressional
committee to control southern elections If Sen. Ger
aid Nye of North Dakota is well within his rights.
He is chairman OF the senate committee on elections.
He has ordered all election returns in the three great
counties Of Pennsylvania. which contain the three
largest cities. to be sent direct TO the clerk Of his COM
mittee in the city Of Washington.
If a senate committee has the power to control the
elections in a northern state. why not in a southern
state7
In voting for the confirmation Of Judge John j.
Parker. 10 democratic senators from five southern
states where the blacks are numerous, the 10 senators
realized what they were doing. Now the negro has
the ballot. and in many southern states the 14th and
18th amendments are dead letters. For many years
the republican administration attempted to put over
a force bill on the south exclusively which would have
permitted federal supervision TO control the elections
in the so-called black belt states Of the country.
Liberal republicans defeated the plan.
Now, the spectre Of the force bill has come back
to earth. and there is no telling what will happen IN
coming time in the land Of the free and the home Of
the brave. Segregation Of races is interdicted. A state
is silorn OF the right to enact a segregation law, and as
for a municipality, il IS powerless to prevent negroes
from occupying houses in white neighborhoods."
