sent and the new idea for the
new or different state of things
as against ancient conformities
and the status quo.
The most significant thing
that has happened in Western
Pennsylvania, apart from the
Brutality of the police, the
breaking up of lawful meetings
of strikers and the restrictions
on free speech, is the employ
ment of the injunctive process in
behalf of the operating com
panies. The Schoonmaker in
junction, issued to the Pittsburg
Termina 1 Coal Corporation,
makes effective picketing impos
sible. It prohibits the United
Mine Workers from expending
monies to keep families in com
pany houses by paying their
rent, when ejectment proceed
ings are started against them.
The Langham injunction, issued
to the Clearfield Bituminous
Coal Corporation, is similar but
harsher in its restrictions. In
both cases this judge-made law
is based on the theory that to
give support to a coal strike is
to enter into a conspiracy in re
straint of trade. The anti-trade
-monopoly provisions of the
Clayton and Sherman Acts are
thus converted by the sophistry
of judges into a weapon to use
/— ---—
against workers.
A thorough-going radacle her
esy may even prove to be suffi
cient ground, as a certain recent
tragic event has shown, i'or
sending aliens to the electric
chair without their having fair
opportunity to prove their inno
cence of the crime charged
against them. Monstrous ab
surdities are perpetrated in the
name of patriotism. A small
boy was taken from the custo
dy of his parents because their
religious tenets forbade him to
salute the flag. A young man
was arrested in New York and
fined by a jocular magistrate
because he failed to take off his
hat while the Star Spangled
Banner was being sung in honor
of Colonel Lindbergh.

erican Game Protective Associ
ation.
The value of game in Penn
sylvania is greater than that
produced by Alaska. The offi
cials there are responsible to the
elected representatives of the
people. How different it might
be if the responsibility were wtih
the bureaucrats of Washington.
25,097 doe deer were killed in
the state Pennsylvania last sea
son. In Alaska there would
have been wholesale prosecu
tions and also considerable per
secutions.
JOBLESS IN FRANCE, 1955
Total Is One of the Smallest Re
corded in Country Since War
-o
. .With Great Britain, Germany
and the United States all re
porting out-of-work armies of
1 000.000 or more, considerable
interest is attached to the offi
cial figures of the aggregate
number of persons unemployed
throughout France on March
i 6.
The number is now reduced to
the amazing low figure of 1.995,
of whom 264-are women. This is
one of the smallest totals in the
history of the post-war industri
pronosed to stock. More of such
al life of France and ia regarded
as an excellent indication of the
present widespread prosperity.
The bulk of unemployed, 1.148,
were in the Paris district. For
the week ended March 16 the
number of foreign workers per
mitted to enter France was 1
853. while 550 left the country.
Editors Note:—The unemploy
ed in Alaska alone is greater
than the above in spite of the
great improvement in. trans
portation which Governor Parks
says is proof of our prosperity.
