At the annual convention of the International Seamens union it was agreed to petition federal and state judges to adopt rules that will permit a preference to meritorious cases of seamen upon the calendars of their respective courts. The request was made because witnesses in seamens cases frequently disappear when cases are set for a distant date.

The convention indorsed the position of the unions committee on legislation, who oppose changes in the federal immigration law that will again tie foreign seamen to their ships when in American ports. MAY LAUNCH STATE BANK New Harven, Feb. 6. A special convention of the State Federation of Labor will be held in this city on Sunday, March 2, to discuss the establishment of a bank owned by organized labor in this state. Hood STILL Charleston, W.

Feb. 6. Nonunion miners in this state are striking against their boasted independence and freedom from union dictation. Anti-union coat owners have told these workers how glorious it is to be free men, and a subsidized press has wheezed the same tune. The state ha-s been a land of milk and honey for strikebreakers and gun men while coal barons cut wages and in several localities smashed the miners unions.

The wave of hysteria has subsided, and the non-union coal miner is facing the grim reality of starvation wages. He is now asking if there is not method in calls on him to show his independence. Another factor is the murderous working conditions that prevail in these fields. In an effort to stop these local strikes, the coal barons are closing down the mines. Tires LEAD Washington, Feb.

Private compensation methods and professional insurance adjusters result in tragic experiences to families of injured workers in the District of Columbia, according to a study by the department of sociology, Catholic University. The investigators favor prineples contained in the Fitzgerald-Jones bill, now pending in Congress, which eliminates private compensation in the district. Without a workmens compensation law, the report says, workmen are receiving neithet medical care nor cash in settlements sufficient to recompense them for injuries received in employment. The practices of insurance company claim adjusters, where noticed, were not such as to give confidence that their participation in administering workmens compensation would further harmonious industrial relations. Their policy seemed rather to be to pay out the least possible amount, regardless of circumstances.

The resultant distrust of insurance adjusters voiced by numerous workmen, would indicate that if industrial harmony and relief from litigation is a consideration, Congress, in enacting a workmens compensation law, should not permit any third party, such as the professional insurance adjuster, to stand between an employer and his worrkmen. TO CURB STRIKEBREAKERS Jefferson City, Feb. 6. The importation of strikebreakers into this state will be outlawed if the legislature approves a bill introduced by Representative J. Scott Wolff.

The act provides that workers shall not be transported to any strik area for purposes of employment unless they are informed of the strike and its causes. CO-OPS TO EDUCATE Springfield, 111., Feb. 6. At a meeting of co-operators it was planned to launch a campaign of education that trade unionists and other forward looking people in this state may understand co-op. principles.

Emphasis will be placed on the Rochdale system of co-operation which gives every member of a co-op-society an equal voice, regardless of the number of shares held. Under the Rochdale system, dividends are based oh the amount of purchases made. The co-operators declare such a campaign is necessary to save unionists and others from being fleeced by alleged co-op. movements that are controlled by a few individuals. This campaign is under the direction of the educational department of the Central States Co-operative Wholesale Society.

We are raising our 'guarantee on a special line of Hood Tires from ten thousand to fifteen thousand miles. This is a record breaker in the tire business.

and Mgr. Clarence Hauser, Secretary. Washington, Feb. 6. In a decision that is declared to be a blow at monopoly banking, the United States supreme court ruled that Missouri can prohibit a federal bank from opening a branch in that state.

The case was considered so important by 18 other states that they joined with Missouri in resisting the extension of national banks. Attorney. General Barrett of Missouri is quoted in a press dispatch from Jefferson City as declaring that branch banking has always proved monopolistic in its tendency. Wherever permitted, a few years sees the passing of the small bank and concentration of money power in a few financial centers. The result is the destruction of local independence and the placing of small loans and rural communities within the hands of a few powerful combinations of capital and influence.

Cant Sue Trade Union Says Southern Court Raleigh, N. Feb. 2. The supreme court of this state has ruled that a labor union can not be sued for the alleged act of an individual member. The decision was made in the case of the Asheville Typographical Union versus two newspapers that city.

The printers are on strike to secure wage increases. The newspapers started damage suits against the union and secured a temporary injunction, which was dissolved by Superior Court Judge Mc-Elroy of Asheville. In sustaining the lower court, the state supreme court said: As we understand the law to be, any individual or group of indiiduals has a right to organize and use peaceful means to see that their rights and liberties, as they conceive or believe them to be, are protected and their ida and endeavor for betterment and uplift are carried into effect. Justice should be done them in their calling or avocation in life. Freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, free writing and freedom of action are the fundamentals of our government, subject to well-known exceptions as to abuse of these privileges.

This right belongs to all individuals and groups to all sorts and conditions of men alike. Ordinarily any individual or group has a right to quit work when he or they see fit, and by peaceful means use their influence and argument with other individuals and groups to prevent them from filling or taking their places. PRINTERS RAISE WAGES Spartanburg, S. Feb. 6.

Printers in this city have negotiated a new wage agreement. Rates for night work are advanced $4.20 a week and day work is increased $4.08 a week. VIjj The IN Above It is Washington, Feb. 6. The recapture clause of the transportation act encourages extravagances and padded expense accounts by the prosperous roads.

This is the belief of Senator Capper on that section of the transportation act which provides that where a railroad earns more than 6 per cent profit, one-half shall be turned over to the interstate commerce commission to aid weaker roads. The Kansas senator declared that the total profits of all roads last year would pay a dividend of 10 per cent on' the aggregate capital stock of all the railroads in the States. The profits of class 1 roads for the first eight months of this year were approximately $70,000,000 greater than that received on rental during government control, said Senator Capper. This seemS to be the answer to the railroads statement that they can not reduce transportation charges and live. Rates are arbitrarily fixed by the commission to bring a return of 5 per cent on the reproduction value of every transportation line, whether or not the investment was prudently made or the property efficiently managed.

That is why the public often regards section 15a as a guaranty to the railroads, although it does not, as a matter of fact, directly guarantee anything to the carriers. We are demanding the repeal of this section 15a because rates are determined with regard to the ability of badly organized or located or capitalized or managed roads to earn a profit on an investment the proper calculation of which is in dispute, thereby establishing rates that earn excessive profits on well organized systems. Roads which should not have been built, and others which always have lost money for their owners, are given a value two or three times their actual worth. No account is taken of improvidence or bad investment. Roads which are grossly mismanaged are put on the same basis as the efficiently managed property.

The strong carriers make the necessities of the weak carriers the justification for taking more from the public than the public should be compelled to pay. Alert Official Traps Anti-Union Employers Albany, N. Feb. 6. The attempt of anti-union manufacturers to wreck the state labor department came to a sudden end through Governor Smiths policy of putting these business men on the defensie.

The manufacturers, acting through their Associated Industries, publicly charged that the labor department is incompetent. The governor immediately announced that the charge was serious enough to warrant public hearings by him, and he called on the manufacturers to present their information. This move was unusual and unexpected. The business men began to hedge and finally assured the governor they were with to make the department as effective as possible. The cornered business men held this love feast after they saw their executive secretary, Mark A.

Daly, forced to acknowledge that his organization has no facts on which to base its charge. Before Mr. Daly left the stand a letter he sent out at the last session of the legislature was read into the record. This letter asked business men to contribute money to fight the governors labor program. Direct primaries is another matter that should be fought by business men, according to Mr.

Daly. (First Published in the Plaindealer, February 1, 1924) In the Probate Court of Sedgwick County, Kansas. In the Matter of the Estate of John Quincy Walker Moore, Deceased.
