THE MINERS GO TO BAT

Union miners employed by the
Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, Colo
rado, have agreed to postpone half
the wages due in August, September
and October, and longer if necessary,
to enable the company to maintain
the union scale and meet the compe-
tition of the wage-slashing Rockefel-
Ter Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
Union cooperation means more than
hot air.

HOLD INDUSTRY RESPONSIBLE

Dividend and wage figures now
current continue to show that there
is no need and no valid excuse for
the nightmare called depression.
Dividends, it is true, are off from
the flush period.
But dividends of $350,OO0,0 900 have
just been declared by a group of COR
porations that last year declared divi-
dends of $50O,OOO,OOO. That is no
great penalty on the owners of indus
try for their stupidity and blundering.

1t is not and never was purely a
drink question. 1t was far deeper
question than that And that is why
the protest has assumed the proper
tions of great popular uprising
against the cause of today's condition.
The present temper of the people is
for a return to lawfulness, temper
ance and decency through modifica-
ton to permit Americans to do law
fully what they obviously will do
anyhow.

We tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pre-
foundly. sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

They say the Wickersham commits
mission got a lot of information
right straight from big boys on the
inside of the bootleg racket.
Names were never to be divulged.
The big boys talked freely.
The commission got an earful.
Well, ringside in the Wickersham
hearings was great thing for those
that had it, for the story there told, if
all accounts are true, must have been
astounding.
The booze business, as it is run
under this thing called prohibition,
is a big business-big like United
States Steel and Standard Oil.
1t handles millions in money and
armies of men.
1t has it's army and its navy, its
police system and its spy system.
There probably never was a law
that created SO much lawlessness!
X
1t is fitting that while talk about the
Wickersham commission thickens, the
Bishop Cannon story should be COM
ing forth to gladden. front pages and
confound lot Of politicians.
But what did anyone expect under
prohibition?
A law commanding men and women
to cease doing what they believe they
have an inherent right to do is going
to be broken on every hand and by
every device, and most everybody now
understands that fact.
But bigotry keeps them from ad-
mitting the truth.
The thing that will swing lot of
opinion around to honesty and sanity
is the growing cost, money, moral and
social, of the awful thing-and the
slaughter of women and children.
Looking the facts squarely in the
face it turns out that the law has
brought into being the biggest illegal
business the world ever knew, with
the profits directed largely into the
hands of those who spend them in no
useful channel. Millions go into the
pockets of racketeers, grafters, gang
sters and various types of gun and
con men and is paid, not over the
counters, but into the
pockets of crooks, where it can re-
plenish only the treasures of crooks.
Useful industry, commerce and
are deprived Of vast
revenue by the law that creates un-
lawfulness.
Such condition has never been
known. The old buccaneers were
pikers in comparison.
The most sensational of the law
breakers and pirates of old played
ping pong in comparison to the great
bootleg industry of today.
Stunted and blunted as the Wick
srsham report has been, it could not
wholly cover up the situation.
The truth seeped and leaked out
,etween the lines of every page.
Just as despotism begets rebellion,
70 sumptuary legislation begets dis
obedience.

WHERE POLITICAL ACTION
FAILS

Resignation of the Ramsay Mac
Donald government in England, to be
replaced by a national government,
with all parties participating, brings
sharply to the front the extreme dam
gers faced by labor in the realm of
partisan politics and independent la
Dor politics.
Within the labor party structure
the trade unions and the political
leaders came to point of disagree
ment as sharp as any point of dis
agreement between opposing political
parties could be.

GIRL TRAINS
FOR TOXIC TO
SEATTLE HOP

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.--tR-The
farmer lad who lifted a growing
calf each day until finally he
could lift a COW. has an aerial
counterpart in Juanita Burns,
aviatrix.
Miss Burns hopes to fly alone
from Tokyo to Seattle and then
TO Dallas next spring. and here is
how she plans to get ready for the
strain:
Trains To Stay Awake
She will sit down beside a roar
ing airplane engine. When she
begins TO get drowsy, she will shut
off the motor and call 1t a day.
The next day she will sit a little
longer-and so on until she can
stay awake so hours or (.
That idea and other details OF
the proposed flight were explained
by the 2~5-year-old Los Angeles
girls hacker, joseph Martin, broker
and aviation enthusiast.
Martin, who comes from Los
Angeles, said Miss Burns will start
from Tokyo next April with a light
load Of gasoline. A male aviator
will go up with her and help fill
her planes fuel tanks TO capacity
from a refueling ship. Then the
aviator Will jump cut in a para
chute, while Miss Burns speeds
out over the Pacific toward Seat
tie, which she hopes 10 reach over
the "Great Circle" course without
a stop.
Fly To Dallas
She plans to collect $4,000 In
prizes at Seattle. then g. on 10
Dallas 70 get SIS ,00O more. Mar
tin said he had assurances that
Col. william z. Easte sood. Jr.,
chewing gum king, who gave Coste
and Bellonte SIS. 900. would present
Miss Burns a similar Prize If she
is successful. Then she hopes 10
come TO New York-and perhaps
fly TO Paris.
Miss Burns. who formerl- lived
in FL Paso. is authenticated and
has THE courage 10 show what a
woman can do in aviation If given
a break" Martin said. Her ship
will be called the Miss Olympia
1892" in honor Of the Olympic
games at Los Angeles next summer.
