Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; He is gracious, full of compassion and righteous.—Psalms 112:4. Violence Must Stop Until next Monday the real friends of labor and of unionism can best serve by exercising the utmost patience. This in order that on Monday the railway shopmen may take public sympathy with them when they go into Federal Court in Chicago and ask for the dismissal or sweeping modification of the Daugherty temporary restraining order granted last Friday. That that order, phrased in language suggested by the attorney general, flaunts patience, can not be denied. It goes far beyond the law. It applies to American citizens the perfect flower of the former Kaiser’s philosophy of government—“verboten.” It is the doctrine that an all highest authority may, irrespective of natural or legal rights, impose its will upon all others by simply prescribing acts or conduct as “verboten”—forbidden. The railroad shopmen will be fortunate if they can face the court next Monday in a spirit of respectful rebuke rather than one of contempt. By that time the public will have learned the breadth and depth of the “verboten” restraining order. It will have learned that since last Friday it has been: “Verboten” for the men on strike to receive back, as strike benefits, money lawfully paid into the union treasuries by them for that purpose. * “Verboten” for the chosen leaders of these men to have communication with them or to guide them in the way of peace and order. “Verboten” to even tell the prospective new railroad workers about their own reasons for having-quit, in a body, the railshop job. “Verboten” for the men’s case to be given to the public through public statements or interviews to newspapers. “Verboten,” many other things, including offenses against persons and property that were already forbidden in plain English by perfectly £ ood American law. • • • • • THE publication of dissenting newspaper articles and editorials about the strike, the Daugherty injunction, and the troublesome fact that railroad service gets worse while a winter of distress approaches, is not yet “verboten,” but such an injunction would be only a little farther step. If the restraining order stands and is made permanent the attorney general will have earned the Order of the Iron Cross even though no German junker government exists to award it. Harassed by railroad executives on one side; irresponsible reds and fool “friends” on the other and faced by Daugherty’s 'verboten” as they seek the way to life, liberty and the pursuit happiness, the shopmen have a few days of supreme test to go through.

FOE the most part, up to now, the railroad strike has been a battle Ox brains between the banker-lawyer group on the one side and the labor leaders on the other. College-trained brains were on the side of the employers, with brains developed in University of Hard Knocks and labor unions on the side of the employes. On the strategy board of the railroad unions were minds quite able to cope with those on the employers’ side, who supposedly have had greater educational opportunities. These labor minds are proof of the educational advantages of trades unionism, a demonstration of the fact that unionism makes for a higher standard of citizenship in the working class—so-ealled. "We may pass by the Government’s showing in this war with the observation that the Railroad Labor Board, its majority membership, has given the country a pitiable exhibition of glaring incompetency. The strike has reached a point, however, where the evil consequences of the war are about to fall on the bvstanding public. And the public is the only jury which finally must pass on the merits of the contest, through the throwing of its sympathy to one side or the other. • • • • • THE purpose of this editorial is to call attention to the danger that now confronts the railroad unions—and it is a greater danger than any they have to fear from the railroad executives. That danger is the resort to violence either by some of the strikers themselves, by some of their misguided sympathizers or by the communist element in labor that is just as anxious to destroy unionism as are the misguided captains of industry. The friends of organized labor, those who understand the situation and know that this strike was deliberately provoked by railroad management as part of a nation-wide war on unionjssn —who know that organized labor has its back to the wall a jnd in self-defense is fighting for its very existence—the friends of labor who know this can not excuse, condone or justify any form of violent sabotage. Hurling bombs, derailing trains or any other form of violent sabotage will not win strikes, even though the strikers’ cause be just, All who resort to criminal violence, some of which evidently is conceived with mnrderous intent, are enemies of organized society whether they prove to be strikers or strikebreakers. In defense of its own good name and to justify its perfect right to exist, organized labor should go the limit to discover and bring to justice the criminals. Fair .Enough COXGRESSMAN HULL, lowa, told the House Naval Affairs Committee in Washington that “when we went intq the war we had to go to the Bethlehem Steel Company and to the Baldwin Locomotive Works and buy at a cost of SSO apiece rifles that could have been made at a cost of sl3, sl4, or sls apiece.” Senator Capper, in the other end of the Capitol Building about the same time, was asking why big business concerns which made lots of money out of the war are not now made to pay the soldier bonus. Somebody ought to bring these two gentlemen together.

Wets are already organizing to oppose the re-election of the aggressive Virginia-born woman and a hot fight is promised. Lady Astor, In her pamphlet, charges that the “liquor i traffio in England is probably more highly and more thoroughly organised for political purposes than the steel, oil and meat trusts in America.” Favors Local Option As an initial step she favors referendurrm of a local rather than a national character somewhat similar to the local option elections which featured the early stages of the prohibition fight in the United States, "In order to allow scope for reasonable experiment.” Lady Astor cites the liquor control bill which will be Introduced In Commons shortly providing a three fold choice for voters, as follows: 1. Strict prohibition. 2. Continuance of the present system. 3. Reorganization of the liquor trade. Excuses Fanaticism She recognizes that “repression may sometimes be worse than the disease itself and unless the control is based on the general consent and respect for freedom, It may only breed more trouble.” The misery due to unwise drinking. Lady Astor declares, is almost enough to excuse fanaticism on tho question of liquor control. Defenders of the liquor trade, she says, are almost Invariably Identified with opponent* ,of attempts to deal with immorality, slums and other social evils. Her views are commanding the deepest interest because her whole future political career may depend on the outcome of her prohibition fight.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

VOLSTEAD DECLINES OFFERS TO DISCUSS DRY MEASURE

Bv HARRY B. HUNT Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The best little lid-clamper In Washington—that’s Andrew J. Volstead, of Minnesota, father of the well-known prohibition enforcement law bearing his name. He puts the lid on a lot of legislation and— He also keeps a lid on his own lips. It was as chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House that Volstead gave his name to the prohibition law and thereby won a niche in history. And it is as chairman of the same committee that he is able to sink without trace the hordes of bills, resolutions and proposals of all sorts for repealing, modifying or setting aside the enforcement law. “1 Never Talk” ”1 never discuss prohibition or the prohibition enforcement act,” Volstead tells you If you seek to lead him afield into consideration of the merits of light wines and beer, prohibition polls, the wet Influence In politics and kindred subjects. There is probably no man in Congress whose name is so widely known, hut about whom as an Individual so little is known, as Volstead. He might aptly be described as “The Little Gray Man.” Sixty-two years of age, slight of build, unassuming in carriage and presence, the outstanding factor in his appearance is the leaden-gray overtone that seems to enshroud him. His plain, rather darkish-gray suit matches almost perfectly in hue the gray of his mustache and his hair, which in turn blend with the gray of his eyes. His serious, almost solemn, attitude toward all subjects of discussion, further cast a grayish aura about his personality. Bom in Minnesota Rorn In Goodhue County, Minnesota, in 1860, Volstead is a product of the

We re Off! Big Time Season Opens With a Bang at Local Amusement Houses

The big-time season in tii legitimate theaters in Indianapolis has arrived and ail are open with the exception of English’s, which w.ll open shortly. B. F. Keith's and the Shubert-Park got under way on scheduled time. The Lyric, with its non-stop policy, keeps right on In tho running. The Murat started its season with a musical comedy, called "For Goodness Sake.” The Stuart Walker Company closed its lengthy season in time to'permit the legitimate season to get started at the Murat Labor day afternoon. The Broadway is now a burlesque house and two shows are being given daily. The Rialto continues with Its musical comedy and movie policy.

Concerning a Musical Attempt “For Goodness Sake," now on view at the Murat, belongs to that unsatisfactory summer show class which lands in town with a cast greatly changed from tho one used In New York and from the one present at the beginning of the Chicago engagement. 1 found nothing in this show to get excited about. It’s Just a summer hangover. The cast, with the exception of Jesse Block, Francene Dunlop and John E. Young, at times doesn t approach the average road show. Edna May as Vivian Reynolds doesn't fit. into the slim story. This show needs singing voices. Block and Dunlop really save the show from complete failure by their dancing, especially in a number called "The Wh.chnesa of the Whatness." Mr. Young Is the featured member of the cast and he tr.es to get some comedy out of some hopelessly thin situations. Leslie Jones does all he can with some similarly thin material. A chorus is used and the dancing is fair. _ , . At the Murat all (Reviewed by W. D. H.) -I- -I- -I; Sliubert Vaudeville Arrives Indianupolis now knows what Shubert unit vaudeville is. It hit us with a wallop and wo liked it. It is too long as it now stands and must be cut down within vaudeville running time. "Laughs and Ladles" la the title given to the complete unit and is being presented for the first time on any stage at the Park. There are good singers, clever dancers, plenty of comedy and a 'chorus. "Laughs and Ladies Is in fourteen soenee. Something should be done to the "Three Faithful Husbands” scene. We were Inclined to squirm while this scene was on. There is much of beauty in the show. One scene that eclipses all, is "In the Gardens of the Luxembourg.” “The Spirit of Love" and the dance number in "Tho Beauty Shop" scene also are pleasing to the eye. Raymond Metz and Alvira Yates, who head the singing contingent, have real voices, Dorothy Rudac and Gladys Yates are clever dancers, while Leo Burns and Tom Foran also share In the dancing honors. Will Phillips, Bobby Bernard and Tex Ellis are the comedians. Phillips bao the edge, though honors are about .even. The "Laughs and Ladies” revue is preceded by five vaudeville acts, headed by Rush Ling Toy, billed as China’s Greatest Magician. He does some clever mystery stunts. V o were amused at the satirical note In this act. Tex Ellis and Gladys Taylor contribute a piano and song act. Elis knows how to put over a Dixie song, hut we liked him best later on In the show in blackface. Burns and Foran. a hard-working team of dancers, a farce with music called. “Who’s My Wife?” and Jack Gregory and company in a hoop act, complete the bill. There will be two shows dally, matinee and night, at the Shubert-Park all week. (Reviewed by J.

Miss Mayhew headlines the bill which opened the season at B. F. Keith’s this week. She has a wealth of comedy material, some clever character songs and enough of that old personality stuff to keep her in the Hunt rank of entertainers. The Runaway Four is an example of what hard work will do. They last appeared in Indianapolis with a revue. Henry and Moore have a clever routine of songs, dances and comedy.

Tollman's Revue, which heads the bill. Is a dancing act composed of fotir girls and a man. One of the girls plays piano and violin. The act is cleverly constructed and well done. Mary Spoor and Jack Parsons contribute more dancing to the bill. Special songs, story dances, neat appearance and plenty of personality make it far above the average. Tlje Four Harmony Boys offer a program of comedy and harmony songs that are entertaining. They seem to haVe caught the idea of what people want. Tuck and Clare do some clover acrobatic and contortion stunts, with a lot of comedy mixed in. Goldie and Thorn are two women who offer character songs.

British Aviator Will Attempt Flight From U. S. to Australia

BV J IIf,TON BROWER Tunes Staff Correspondent LONDON, Sept. 5. —Across the Pacific in an airplane! That's the latest stunt which Major Charles Fairfax Morgan, 33-year-old British naval flyer, is going to try. Ho expects to hop off from San Francisco late in October and make his first stop at Honolulu — Two thousand miles out! This is 100 miles greater than the distance covered by the daring aviators who crossed the Atlantic in one flight. The Major is confident that he can make it. “The machine in which I shall tly," ho sayst "Is rapidly nearing completion. I can’t tell much about it. for we are trying to keep its construction secret. It is not a seaplane, however. “It presents an entirely new idea in flying machines which are to travel over great stretches of water." A prize of $50,000 offered by Thomas H.

ANTHRACITE Coal Settlement leaves Delivery Problem to Railroads. To the Editor of The Times Now that settlement of the anthracite coal strike has been effected the crucial question of fuel transportation is up to the railroads—the question of whether or not they will be able to break up organized resistance of the shopmen and resume normal work. Rail heads have boasted the latter and assured the former. They have made it plain that they intended, not I only temporary demoralization of union resistance, but a complete destruction of the agencies which have j aided that resistance.

I say it is surprising, when in reality it is not at ail surprising.

America today would be a wilderness had it not been for the fanner. Yet. after making America all it has grown to be, financial rush, speculation and patriotic stagnation are driving the maker to ruin.

LEAGUE RECEDES AS BANNER ISSUE IN FALL POLITICS Cox and House Expect to Revive Question in Presidential Vote of 1924. WILL SUBMIT STATEMENT Democratic Titular Leader, Returning From Abroad, With New Facts. United Netes Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. s.—While James M. Cox and Col. E. M. House, two foremost Democratic leaders, have warned of the need of American cooperation In European affairs, neither they nor other Democratic leaders have any intention of making such international cooperation an Issue in the elections this year. It may be authoritatively stated that whatever may be said by them or others on the subject of the league of nations or any other program of American affliation with Europe to effect peace throughout the world, the purpose is merely to keep the Issue alive until the next presidential election, and not to make a teat of it at the polls this fall. May Plan Conference. In fact, before election day it may be that the United States Government will move for an international economic conference which would take the wind out of the Democratic sails even were the Democratic party to change Us present plan. As previously stated In these dispatches. President Harding is committed to the belief that a “professional and scientifla study” of international indebtedness by the great powers is “inevitable” if European stability Is to be effected. The recent statements by Cox and House in London after surveys of European conditions have led political leaders here to the belief that the Democrats, upon the return of Cox. their titular leader, will begin a. vigorous campaign to revive the League of Nations as an issue this tail. It may be stated, however, on information received directly from both of these Democrats, that neither has any intention of bringing up this issue now. Issues Plentiful Both Cox and House believe that | the Democrats have enough talking points on domestic issues without confusing the political situation by reviving the League of Nations or other international cooperation as an issue this fall, particularly sincf k still is a moot question within Democratic party itself. Cox, upon his arrival In New York fiom abroad late this week or the first of next, will issue a statement outlining his personal views of what the fall issues are. In this statement, according to those in immediate touch with him, he will reassure his friends and disappoint his enemies by making it clear that the League of Nations question is one for contemplation over a period of the next two years and not one that could be made an Issue in November.
