ION THE LAW DEPENDS OUR SOCIETY"

Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed conven-
ton of the Elks in 1922. He denounced mob rule
in plain terms in discussing the plight of Illinois
coal miners who were at the mercy of armed men
who killed nineteen and wounded thirty because
they would not bow to the United Mine Workers.
Hear Mr. Roosevelt in the address reproduced by
The Iron Age:
"But few weeks ago, in southern Illinois, as
atrocious q massacre occurred is contained in
our annals. Men were killed, not clearly killed. but
brutally killed. and up to the time in which speak,
there is no shadow of conviction Of the murder
ers in sight.
"a blot of this kind on our escutcheon can be
wiped out in but one manner and one manner only,
and that is by due process of law If we are to ex-
ist as nation, we must be awabiding. On the law
depends our society Destroy law and the country
reverts to barbarism overnight. Destroy law and
we will be back in the days of slavery, rapne and
pillage, when the strong Cypress the weak, when
interest triumphs over honor. Without law, our
civilization crumbes Our government is arranged
in such fashion that it provides method whereby
we who compose it can change it."
What is the attitude of the same Mr.. Roosevelt
fifteen years later when men who wish to work are
besieged in a steel plant and when the United
States mails break down in delivering parcel post
to these men? Has he repudiated the statement by
John L. Lewis, chairman of the c. l. o., that four
departments of the federal government on the
sdie of the lawess?
Where is no law is no safety for the law-abding
citizen Where is no law mob rule holds full sway.
Violent strikes have never been numerous in
this country they are at the moment. The rights
of law-abding citizens have never been less pro-
tected than they are now. Surely Mr.. Roosevet's
views of law are the same as they were fifteen
years ago. In 1887 as in 1922, "on the law depends
our society.'-Charleston News and Courier.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BEHIND THE SOUTH CHICAGO RIOTS

No extemporized mob unassisted by trained
fighting force would have made the attack of Sun
day, May 80 on the police defending the plant and
employees of the Republic Steel corporation in
South Chicago Men merely inflamed by the har-
argues of agtators would not have had the deter
mination to fight a pitched battle. The review of
the facts and study of the pictures will prove the
presence in that conflict of force of trained mill
tary revolutionaries. These facts have not been
commented upon and there is no need to examine
them. ..
In the mob there were three elements There
were the toughs who had come over the line from
Indiana seeking a fight of any kind and chance
to attack the workers remaining in the plant There
were few striking employees of the company who
had been excited by the agitators Then there was
a trained military unit of revolutionary body.
They are rushed to scenes of lawnessness when
ever the c. |. o. promotes disorders. Only mass
of men strengthened, directed and sustained by
selected trained and disciplined revolutionary fight
erS would have rushed across hundred yards OF
intervening space to attack the police line.
1t has been known that there had been incite-
ment to this disorder and that the striking en-
ployes had been haranged and stirred into action.
But they were led and supported by members Of an
organization which has been disciplined and trained
to the necessities of hard fighting, just as regular
troops are trained. The unfortunate affair at South
Chicago offers evidence of militant body which
sends it's fighting cadets into every trouble to
form the disciplined corps of any attack which can
be organized by fiery speeches.
Soldiers in their training instructed that
when captured they may tell their names and the
organization to which they belong but nothing else.
A number of the riot prisoners have told their
names and addresses and have refused to give any
other information. Some others have identified
themselves as striking employees of the company's
plant. Others, in spite of the silence of many, have
been found to be active members of the communist
party.
An investigation VIII discover the existence of
regular revolutionary military force, members of
which are operating wherever the c. l. o. strikes
are called and strikers are melted to lawlessness
and acts of violence.-Chicago Tribune.

THE GERMS OF CIVIL WAR

He is dm-wit indeed who fails to perceive that
there exists in America today bitter and rapidly
spreading civil war.
Today the fighting is merely between rival fac
tions in farflung industrial disputes but it is fight
ing and it is developing not only casualty lists but
a military technique.
Organized along military lines, the c. /. o. so
far has had the best of the handto-hand struggles
but tie other side is learning.
Before long this warfare will spread beyond the
industrial areas and may engulf America in the
worst disaster it has ever experienced-unless the
government Congress and the president) have the
intelligence to what is the matter and have the
courage to take the correct action to halt it.
There are laws against violence but the enforce
ment of these laws is in the hands of persons po-
liticay beholden to those who are participating in
the violence.
1t takes real courage for policeman to arrest
the aldermen who nominated him for membership
on the force.
That same spirit is spreading civil war across the
face Of the United States today
Radical successes will breed fascist organizations
in the United States just surely as they did in
Germany and Italy-and whether fascist or rad-
cal wins the growing American civil war the aver
age person will suffer lowered standard of living
and a loss of freedom
Practical democracy has given the average Amer
lean citizen higher standard OF living and greater
PERSONAL liberty than the average citizen of any
country in the world
Yet our congress stands by stupidly-ts hands
tied by politics-while extremists of the right and
left prepare to tear that practical democracy to
shreds.-Fa Fayetteville Observer. ,. .t.

BALANCING THE COSTS OF HAULING
FREIGHT
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Seeking dependable barometer by
which to ascertain general business trends,
America has acquired the habit of turning
to the railroads Throughout the depres-
sion, especially, their condition provided a
valuable index to our economic health.
As one of the broad, foundational ele
ments in the national life, any public car
rier is an essential element in the everyday
existence of every citizen. Thus, when the
railroads come forward with what they
feel is problem of public concern, they at
least deserve to be heard.
The point at issue is over the spending
of public moneys for the establishment OF
cheap waterway transportation. To begin
with, the railroads say, the cost of water
way subsidy is far out of proportion with
the cost of railroad service, measured mile
for mile and ton for ton.
As an example, figures are quoted to
show that New York taxpayers have put
up, since 1908, more than S335,000 mile
on the state barge camel, a figure three
times greater than the investment in the
average mile of railroad in the United
States In addition, it is claimed the canal
costs nearly $4,000 yearly per mile in main
tenance and operation.
Another example cited is that of the Pa
ducah-KnoXville section of the Tennessee
river. If the new canalization there were
carried through as authorized by congress
i'm 1880, the estimated cost would be STA
600, 900, with additional operating and
maintenance expenses of 81, ESQ, 600 afnu-
ally. Plus previous expenses, it is claimed,
this would average S135,000 a mile, or 25
per cent more than the investment per mile
of Class railways.
Federal taxes bore nearly 80 per cent of
the cost of river freightage in 1880, with
rising percentages in the years since then,
the railroads say.
Apparently the railroads are not trying
to disprove the principle of federal sub
sidy. Their citation mentions the COMPETE
tive advantage given river carriers through
free use of government-kept channels, free
dom from rate restrictions, and negligible
taxes. They seey as consequences, increased
burdens on the taxpayer and greater total
cost of hauling the nations freight.
