for years. Next week she will not
only answer questions publicly on the

EVERYTONSTATE
MINES PRODUCED
COSTAROOT {37
Maintainence of National Guard
Big Item in Staunton Coal
Extraction Venture.
1,754 TONS WERE MINED
Actual Production Cost Was
$8.79 a Ton—McCray
Defends Move.
Financial reports from James A.
Cooper, Federal receiver for the Row-
In nd-Powers Colleries Company, of
Shaunton, reaching Governor McCray
today, show that the cost of digging
during the coal strike was $8.79 a ton,
for which the State paid the Colleries
Company the sum of $4 per ton. A
loss of $4.79 per ton accrues to the
company for which it is asking no
reparation or indemnity.
Seventeen hundred, fifty-four and
one-half tons of coal were mined
under State protection. The total cost
of operating the mines as set forth
by the mining company was $15,-
421.48. Ameteur statisticians have
figured that, with the national guard
costing approximately $50,000, the
average cost of coal per ton was
$37.35, of which $4.79 was borne by
i the mining company and $32.56 by the
State.
Guardsmen Expensive
While the real work of mining the
coal was done b ythe Rowland-Powers
Company, the heaviest toll of expense
has rested with the State, due to the
expenditure necessitated by the pres
ence of national guardsmen for pro
tection of the property and volunteer
miners.
In a letter from Mr. Cooper it Is set
forth that the stockholders, bond-hold
ers and creditors of the company
Joined in hearty support of the loss.
It is pointed out a great deal of this
apparent loss would have accrued to
the company at any time they re
opened their mines as the idleness of
the mines had wrought havoc with
the equipment.
McCray Defends Action
The cost of maintaining the na
tional guardsmen in Clay County to
protect the miners will reach approxi
mately $50,000 present reports indi
cate. This expenditure, the Governor
points out, was made in the same
spirit in which a city council appro
priates a certain sum yearly for the
maintenance of a police department
for the protection of Ha citizens.
The Governor also sets forth that
the expenditure was warranted on the
grounds that "it established the su
periority of law and order over law
lessness and showed to the citizens
of the State that workmen who de
sired to earn their living might do
so without interference from others
and that a small percentage of work
men could not dictate to the citizens
of the commonwealth and keep from
them the necessities of life.”

Cox asserted: “The world is drift

“Daughertyism in Full Flower”
The New York World today leads its front page with the
story of the arrest on a contempt of court charge of C. V. Sanders,
editor of the Memphis Press, then editorially picks up the gauntlet
and sails in in his behalf.
“G. V. Sanders, editor of the Memphis Press,” says the
World in its first page introduction to the story, “must answer
a contempt charge in the United States district court at Memphis
because he declared the anti-strike injunctions issued by -fudge
Wilkerson in Chicago and Judge J. W. Ross in Memphis violated
the constitution.
“The article for which Judge Ross believes Mr. Sanders in con
tempt of court was entitled ‘The King Forbids.’ It was written
after Judge Ross found Jacob Cohen, editor of the Labor Review,
guilt of contempt, sentenced him to six months in jail and fined him
$1,000.”
Editorially the World then said, under the caption, “Daugh
ertyism :”
“No better example of applied Daughertyism has come to
light than the ease against G. V. Sanders, editor of the Memphis
Press, who is held under SI,OOO bail, to be tried for contempt by
Federal Judge J. W. Ross following the publication of an article
which criticised the judge for imposiug a heavy fine and jail
INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, 1922
LEAVES!
What Are They?
John F. Walker, superintendent of
street cleaning, called "nervy” by the
board of sanitary commissioners be
cause he suggested to citizens they
put grass and leaves in containers in
alleys for the garbage collectors, pon
dered anew means of adding the puz
zled properly owner today.
Walker pointed out citizens cannot
turn refuse because of the city ordi
nance prohibiting bonfires.
"The sanitary board said leaves and
grass are not garbage,” said Walker.
“Well, leaves is leaves, but let ’em
lie in the container in the alley long
enough and they'll turn into gar
bage all right.”
LACK OF FUNDS
HINDERS PROGRAM
FORM SCHOOLS
Commissioners Fear to Use
Small Margin Left Before
Bonded Limit Reached.
Were it not for the question of
money the housing situation of the
public schools could bo solved within
n year. After e: o nt months’ delay
the commissioners adopted a tenta
tive building program sufficiently
comprehensive to solve the problem
of caring for elementary pupils on
a full-time basis in sanitary, modern
buildings and do away with the sev
enty portables and temporary build
ings.
But here arises the question of cost
Asa matter of fact, school officials
look upon the building program as
something they hope rather than ex
pect to carry out.
Debt Limit Near
The school city is within about
$2,500,000 of its constitutional bonded
debt limit and differ as they do about
other matters, school authorities
agree it would be unwise to cut this
margin to a point where it would be
impossible to take tare of emergency
matters.
The new program calls for six
eight classroom, one sixteen class
room and one shop building. In addi
tion to this, plans already are under
way for the erection of a building to
cost about $95,000 at the Potter Fresh
Air School.
Were this program carried out it
would result in satisfactory’ quarters j
being provided for the greater part of •
the 3,500 or more school children now :
’being housed in portables and other
temporary buildings. *
In the past, eight classroom build
ings have cost about $200,000 each, fm
this basis the present building pro
gram would call for the expenditure of
not less than $1,700,000, which would
reduce the margin of the legal bonded
debt limit to n dangcroui point.
Adolph Emhardt, chairman of the
committee on buildings .ind grounds,
who Is largely responsible for the new
building program, fram y admitted]
that it may not be possible to carry it j
out.
In event the board determines to
go ahead with a building program re
gardless of the constitutiona' debt
limit, it has one card left. It can
make a direct tax levy for the con
struction of specified schools. The
old board was prepared to do this.
New buildings provided for in the
program are as fqllows: No. 30, 39 N.
Eider Ave., eight classrooms; No. 62,
Wallace and E. Tenth Sts., eight class
room; No. 76, College Ave. and Thir
tieth St., sixteen classrooms: No. 70,
Central Ave. and Forty-Sixth St., eight
classrooms; No. 75, Fourteenth St. and
Belle Vieu FI., eight classrooms. No.
38, Winter and Bloyd Aves.. eight
classrooms; No. 67, 3617 W. Walnut
St., eight classrooms; No. 25, Missouri
and Thirteenth Sts., two four-room ad

sentence on another editor who had expressed an opinion concern
ing the railroad strike.
“This opinion, set forth by Editor Jacob Cohen of the Labor
Review, was that strike breakers were ‘dirty scabs’ and ‘in
dustrial scavengers.’ Judge Ross found it in violation of his
version of the Chicago injunction and sent Cohen to jail for six
months, fining him SI,OOO. Thereupon Mr. Sanders printed an edi
torial entitled ‘The King Forbids,’ which questioned the right
of the courts to abridge freedom of speech or of the press. For
that editorial Mr. Sanders faces trial, and if any other editor has
the hardihood to continue the battle for constitutional rights he
had best make ready to be cited in turn.
“Judge Ross has simply proved Mr. Sanders’ contention for
him. There is to he no discussion of the merits of the strike, no
adverse comment on court decisions in connection with it. Mr.
Daugherty has forbidden it, the courts under his influence has for
bidden it. No king could have suspended a fundamental law
more arbitrarily or with less warrant. In Memphis, an probably
elsewhere, tlie administration of justice has come to such a pass
under the inspired leadership of tlie attorney general that a citizen
can be jailed and fined no only for taking sides in an industrial
dispute, but for championing another citizen’s right to do so.
Adherence to the constitution is treason against Daugherty.”

After a bitter battle of more than one month the FederaJ
Court issued a temporary injunction.
Attorneys for the unions declared they would appeal the case.
(iranting of the injunction upholds the restraining order that!
has been in effect more than one month.
Strike Actually Forbidden
Railroad shopmen, under the injuncton, are practically for*,
bidden from carrying on the strike which has been in effect sined
July 1.
The government must now call witnesses to substantiate th*
charges of interfering with interstate commerce and the transporta
tion of the mails to make the injunction permanent.
Lnder the injunction thp shopmen are enjoined from par
tieipating in action which would further the strike.
Findings of Judge Wilkerson
Judge Wilkerson said: “The de
fendants will not be permitted, upon
the record here, to deny responsibility
for these unlawful acts. They will
not be permitted to continue acts
which, even though they may be
peaceable and lawful in themselves,
it has been demonstrated, are only

PROUD TO GO TO JAIL
Man Refuses to Pay Fine, and Says
Days Will Be Happy.
John E. Shoemaker, Portsmouth,
Ohio, former general chairman of
striking shopmen of the Norfolf &
Western Railroad at Portsmouth, re
fused' to pay a fine of $250 and costs
assessed by John W. Peck in United
States District Court.
Shoemaker was accused of violating
an injunction. He was convicted of
Intimidating Henry Kr.hne, railroad
employe in charge of a water tank at
Portsmouth.
When sentence was pronounced
Shoemaker informed the court he
would not pay and that he was "proud
to go to jail for his cause” and that
the days there would be happy ones.
He was ordered taken Jail until

rtands and leaves the defendants free
to present their contention again, if
and when a different case is made of
the pleadings and proofs.”
Judge Wilkerson said that the in
junction might have been issued un
der the Sherman anti-trust law but
that it was issued under the Clayton
act forbidding interference with the
constitutional rights of the public.
Another hearing will be necessary
to make the injunction permanent.
Two Corrections Made
The injunction as granted was
practically the same as the original
restraining order. Only two correc
tions were made. One allow -.? the
unions to use their funds for sick
Benefits and cases of necessity. The
other permits meetings of union men
when there is no "conspiracy to ob
struct interstate commerce."
On Sept. 11, the Government asked
for a temporary restraining order
which was granted For the past
three weeks Attorney General
Daugherty and his assistants have
presented arguments including hun
dreds of affidavits from all sections of
the country. The fight for the in
junction ended today with the grant
ing of the temporary injunction.
Witnesses Must Testify
If the Government desfres to make
the injunction permanent, they must
call scores of witnesses to signed
affidavits to uphold their case. In
granting the injunction Judge Wilk
erson said:
“The right of the United States to
maintain a bill like this under its gen
eral equity, jurisdiction is no longer
open to debate.
“In the Debs case the court held
that the National Government is
charged with keeping the highways of
Interstate Commerce, including rail
roads, free from obstruction. Holding
that such obstruction is a public
nuisance and sustaining the power of
a court of equity to take the juris
diction in such cases by an inform*--
tion filed by the attorney general, th#
court said:
‘ “Indeed it may be affirmed that i*
no well considered case has the powcf
of the court of equity to interfere bp
injunction in cases of public nuisancM
been denied.’ ”
