The program was drafted by a special policy committee and accepted without change by the convention. Cincinnati, June 22,—Labor’s pro- grani for curbing the courts was dis- | cussed today by the American ledera- tion of Labor ronvention, which ap- j parently was ready to adopt it as soon las the delegates had tired of giving vent to their grievances against what was termed “a judicial oligarchy.” The program included four amend- ments of the federal constitution, re- peal of the Sherman anti-trust law, which recently was held to apply to cral child labor law and a law inter- to have nullified as for protecting \labor against anti-trust law suits. The legislation asked of congress was described during the discussion as neceesary becauce eeveral yeare at least would be required to conduct the campaign for the four constitutional the right to organize, to bargain col- preting sections of the Clayton act which the supreme court was declared Devils Lake, N. D., June 22.—Judge Kenesaw M, Landis of Chicago has de- zlined to become an honorary member of the American Legion. Offered the honor following an ad- lress this afternoon before the annual zonvention of the North Dakota depart- nent of the legion, Mr. Landis said chat ‘no man who did not wear the uni- ‘orm of his couritry, has a right to be a member of the American Legion.” With a wave of his hand, the high zommissioner of baseball added: “So we will consider no action has oeen taken on the motion.” A motion had been made on the floor of the convention that Judge Landis be made an honorary member and’ in an instant all delegates were on their feet, arrying the motion by acclamation. Labor Most to Lose Judge Landis’ address was devoted exclusively to the legion and the place t has taken in the social, economic and politizeal structure of the country. He condemned those who accused the le- gion of being against labor. On this point he said: “If there is any security for the per- ,petwation of our institutions for which you men fought, that perpetuation de- pends upon the American Legion and, if there is any clement of human society that stands to lose more by. the destruc- tion of these institutions, it is that ele- ment which we have named labor.” Marketing of state soldier “bonus warrants in a maner similar to that surance warrants, ley of Mandan is chairman. olution was adopted unanimously. The resolution directs the legislative which the state would pay to ‘market the proposed warrants. It was argued that by this means all bonuses would be paid in three years, at the latest, and that the discount would then amount to 18 per cent. Speaking of the resolution, Adjutant General Angus Fraser, a member of the committee, said that at the present rate of payments it will take six or seven years for most of the former service men to receive their state bonuses. General Fraser stated that under the new plan there will mbe a due date of October 30, 122, in the warrants, after which time the soldiers would receive their money. Major Hanley said that the bond labor unions, enactment of a new fed-! houses which took over the hail war- rants have already been consufted on this proposition and all have intimated rants if they were backed up by the state government, which of would mean new legislation.

Herrin, Ill., June 22. — Nineteen are known to have been killed in the open warfare of union men and sympathizers with jemployes of the strip mine near here of the Southern Illinois An uncomplete check-up showed sixteen non- union men and three union men dead. One of the non-union men | was found hanging to a tree, his body riddled with bullets. The bodies of the sixteen non-union men were found in a | woods near the strip mine, six miles east of here. A man named McDowell, foreman at the mine, was beaten to death, and the other 14, exclusive of the men hanged were shot to death. It was when they attempted to escape after being’ taken prisoners by the union forces. issing The dead non-union men were reported to have been among forty-four prisoners captured at the. strip mine. Four others were found riddled with bullets and are not expected to recover. What became of the other 24 could not be learned. Nine men are konwn to be dead and an authentic report stated the union sympathizers were preparing to hang three prisoners. Reports today stated that between 80 and 100 employes of the Southern Illi- nois Coul company had been/ captured by striking union miners and their sym- pathizers. These reports could not be verified because of the confusion here, but it is definitely known that the South- ern Illinois company’s camp has been abandoned. hree union coal miners are dead and three wounded miners are in a hospital here, one of them not expected to live, and there are unverified reports that 15 or 20 strikebreakers are lying in a ditch, apparently dead, at the strip mine of the Southern Illinois Coal company near here as the result of fighting which began late yesterday and continued at intervals throughout the night. Other unverified_reports are that five dead and a number’ of wounded are be- ing brought to Herrin and that others have been killed in encounters between roving bands of strikers and fleeing strike-breakers. Forty-four of the strike-breakers, the remnant of the nearly 100 at the mine, are reported to have surrendered after the remainder had been killed or wound- ed or had escaped. Six, men are said to have made ‘a dash to escape as they were béing brought to Marion and these are being pursued. The union sympathizers stormed the camp before daybreak but found no employes of the strip mine in their tents, and departed. They returned af- ter daybreak and found the men hiding Dehind steam shovels and other par- aphernalia, the reports said. The mine pmployes thereupon were lined up and some were marched into the woods and lynched, according to the reports. It wassreported that forty-six of the prisoners were being brought here but several hours after the report was rev ceived, they had not arrived. Persons who canvassed the woods said the bod- jes “are scattered all over.” The sur- rounding country is swarming with per- sons, many armed, and this prevents elected for another year. ‘Aside from the regular local workers of the conference, speakers and work- crs of Minneapolis will be present rep- resenting the northern union conference of which North Dakota is a part. checking up the numerous reports.
