position was generally regarded as eminently fair to labor.

"While the Coronado Coal company decision sets aside the money judgment rendered against the defendants," said Senator LaFollette, "it is the most ominous in what it foreshadows for the future of union labor in this country." In these dark hours labor Is in a peculiar position. Nothing would be so helpful to its cause as a return of general business and industrial prosperity, while if it resists the aggressions that are made against it conditions are created that necessarily re-

can drive their best bargains with capital when business is booming and when the demand for labor equals or exceeds the supply. Some of the radicals among them may not realize this, but the conservative leaders are keenly alive to the fact that it is safe to say that at this time no group of men in the counry is pulling harder for the return of Old General Prosperity. For this reason it is quite possible that some of the strikes now on and threatened may not be carried as far as has been predicted. Intelligent labor does not want to obstruct unnecessarily the General's progress.

fore It has felt itself to be immune. Labor emerged from the war in a highly satisfactory position, from its own viewpoint. Distinct advances had

been achieved. Wage levels were higher than they had ever been before. Hours of labor had been reduced generally, with the eight-hour day and the 44-hour week established in many trades and industries. Punitive overtime pay at the rate of one and a half times or even twice the regular scale for every hour worked in addition to the fixed work day had come to be accepted as labor's due. Collective bargaining was no longer an empty phrase. Membership in the unions had grown by leaps and bounds, and their treasuries were full to over

flowing. One international was said

of the two official delegates chosen j to have over $7,500,000 in its reserve

by the state council to represent the Sunday schools of th state, the other

delegate being J. F. Lehman, of Berne, Ind. "This convention promises to be a history-making convention," said ' Mr. Hasemeier, before leaving Monday, "from the fact that at this time will take place the merging of the International Sunday School association and the Denominational Council." This convention Is held every four years, tho last one being held in Buffalo, N. Y., in 1918. An attendance of 5,000 registered delegates is expected at the Kansas City meeting. Others who accompanied Mr. Hasemeier from Richmond to the convention were Jesse Weichman, Henry Kimm, Mrs. Ed Sweet and Mrs. Charles Surrendorf, all the official delegates of the local St. Paul's Lutheran church.

to be unconstitutional. The unions had fought long to get some kind of a law regulating or abolishing child labor, and their hopes in that direction have now been twice blasted by the highest

court in the land. The more recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Coronado case is the most signal defeat that labor has met with, however. Under that decision the liability of the unions to be prosecuted for restraint of interstate commerce in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law has been established, whereas the leaders of labor organizations were immune from any such attacks. There was a crumb of comfort for the union in th edecision, for it set aside a Judgment against the defend

ants, which, with costs and fees,

amounted to some $700,000, and funds of the Mine Workers to that amount, which had been tied up by the lower

court, will eventually be released. The full force and effect of this decision may not be known for some time not until it has been interpreted and applied by the courts in other cases. On the face of it, however, it appears that any union that calls a strike that can be alleged or shown to be a conspiracy in restraint of interstate commerce may be subjected to an attack similar to the proceedings in the Coronado case. Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin criticized the decision in this case in a vigorous public statement in which he directed no little part of his caustic

remarks at Chief Justice William How-

these gains and their post-war plans

were all to that end. They did not expect to maintain war wages, but they did believe that the principle of the living wage as a minimum for all workers, with differentials for skill, experience and hazards of employment, had been so securely established that there would never be a return to old wage levels. However, they reckoned without the business depression that came and persisted, and when they lost the steel strike that was called in September, 1919. and encountered vigorous governmental intervention in the coal strike of November following, their cause and their plans may be said to have received a setback. In the transportation industry they lost the national agreement as to rules and working conditions, which had been negotiated with the Railroad Administration during federal control, and certain groups of railway workers lost the extra pay for overtime over eight hours a day. But it has been in the courts that labor has met with what may prove to be its most serious reverses. Within

boro. It is believed that the volin was made by Antonio Stradiverius (16441737). the famous violin maker of Cremona, This is supported by evidence of the name of Stradiverius ' found on a tag attached to the violin, and by the statement of an old inhabitant of Middleboro, who said that the family, which had formerly lived in the stone house, had owned the violin and had called it the "Strad." The violin had disappeared suddenly and was found about 10 years ago in an excellent state of preservation. Other evidence, however, shows that the violin may have been made by Guiseppe Antonio Guadanini (16831745) another very talented Italian violin maker, whose instruments are very close copies of those of Stradiverius. The responsive, rich, color

ful tone, and the sensitiveness of the

instrument to climatic conditions mark it as a very rare and valuable violin. Mr. Chrisman, whose son owned the

house, was a maker and repairer of

violins and very much interested in old instruments. The violin was given to him and remained in bis possession until two years ago, when he sold it to Mr. Hicks. During that time, he had had a number of offers of large sums for the violin, including one from Lyon and Healy, but, owing to his fondness for the instrument, he would not part with it. Prof. Hicks, after hearing of the violin, visited the old man., who allowed him to play upon it. Mr. Chrisman was so impressed by Mr. Hick's playing that he offered, very unexpectedly, to sell it to him.

fore, particularly in West Virginia, where restraining orders of the most sweeping character have been issued against the United Mine Workers on

the plea of the anti-union operators. The union has been restrained from

sending organizers into the independent fields and from making any effort to organize the miners there. Under the court orders union meetings can not be held and union members can not even discuss the union with miners who are not identified with the organization. Also, suits for damages have been brought by operators against union offllials and members. In only one instance has labor sought to use the injunction against employers. That came as an unexpected development of a controversy in the garment making industry in New York, when the union secured a court order restraining the employers from breaking a contract which had been entered
