What Free Speech Involves " 'Just what do the constitutional guarantees for free speech mean and amount to?' a friend writes to The Kansas City Star. " 'Various kinds of free speech are forbidden, as I understand it, under the Daugherty injunction. Isnlt that an interference with the right of free speech?' "The first amendment of the constitution provides that congress shall make no law 'abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.' That doesn't mean absolute license. The courts have held that freedom of speech is not abridged, for instance, by the prohibition of addresses in public parks or of the publication of libelous or inHprpnf. Trmttpr. Thf ricrir. of free sneeeh is

: exercised subject to regulation. "A general principle was laid down by the supreme court of the United States in a decision

last year, which applies to many of the questions raised. "The National Defense Act of 1917 provided that newspapers violatingthe act should not be mnwverl hv thp. mails. A newsrjaner was ex

cluded under this act for denouncing the govern

ment, condemning the draft law as oppressive and" unconstitutional, and contending that soldiers could not legally be sent outside the country. The supreme court upheld the action of the postoffice department in the face of the plea that the constitutional right to a free press had been violated by the exclusion from the mails. The matter published, the court held, was not designed to secure the amendment or repeal of the laws denounced, but to create hostility to them and to encourage their violation. The court added: " 'Freedom of the press may protect criticism and agitation for modification or repeal of laws,

but it does not extend to protection of him who

counsels and encourages the violation of the law

as it exists. The constitution was adopted to preserve our government, not to serve as a protecting screen for those who, while acclaiming

its privileges, seek to destroy it.' "In another decision, in a somewhat similar

case, the court commented on the invoking of

the constitution to protect people who were seek

ing to destroy it. 'A curious spectacle was pre

sented it said. 'The great ordinance of govern

ment and orderly liberty was invoked to justify

the activities of anarchy or of the enemies of the

United States, and by a strange perversion of its

precepts it was adduced against itself.'

"The underlying idea is that any person in America has. the right to criticize a law and urge

its appeal. He has no right to urge its violation. A person may denounce the Volstead act and call

for its repeal. He has not right to advocate boot legging."

Answers to Questions (Any reader can ret the answer to any question by writing The Palladium Information Bureau, Frederick J. Ha.skin. director, Washington, D. C This offer applies strictly to information. The ' bureau does not give advice on legal, medical and financial matters. It does

GiT(e full name and address and enclose two cents in stamps fnr return postage. All replies are sent direct to the inquirer. Q. TIow much, has the government .paid to World war veterans to date? A. L. A. According to the latest figures made public by the Veterans' bureau .the payments made to and money spent on account of the veterans of the late war amount to more than $1,840,000,000. This compilation is as of Aug. 1 last. The items of these expenditures are: vocational training, $314,419,000; insurance, ' $345,473,000; compensation, $369,619,000; allotments $301,136,000; allowances, $282,375,000; marines' and seamen's insurance, $35,393,000; medical and hospital service, 138,961,000; hospital facilities and service, $988,000; administrative expenses, $52,196,000. Government insurance policies to the number of 570,570 and to the value of more than h.194,000,000 are now in force. The number of former service men receiving compensation is 174,364, while 259,283 have received hospital treatment and the medical examination of 1,194,481 has been, ordered by the bureau. Of the 26,364 former service men now receiving hospital treatment 10,779

are tuberculosis patients, 88,897 are ! neuropsychiatry and 6,688 are general and surgical. Q. Where was Henry Ford's father born? G. F.' M. A. Henry Ford's father, William Ford, was of English ancestry, although born near the town of Brandon, Ireland. He emigrated to America at the age of 20 and settled on a 40-acre tract in Greenfield township, eight miles west of Detroit. Q. Is Mount Ranier 10,000 feet high or 14,408 feet high? A. This mountain rises 10,000 feet above its immediate surroundings and its peak is 14,408 feet above sea level. Q. Is it warmer in summer and colder in winter, six miles above the surface of the earth? L. M. W.

A. The weather bureau says that

according .to the fullest records they have, the temperature of the atmosphere at the elevation of six miles is a few degrees higher in summer than in winter. This appears to be due, in part at least, to the greater amount of radiation in summer than in winter from the earth and lower atmosphere. The average temperature six miles above sea level at latitude 40 degrees .is roughly, 60 degree Farenheit.

THE CRICKET'S " CHIRR The blanket of night lias Just been, folded about a tired earth. The wind has died down. A soft, silent rain has ceaeed. Only drip pings from the roof and from overburdened leaves are heard aa they fall to the ground below. All seems so still without. Only the distant rumble of passing trains breaks the perfect peace of the night. We have been writing and reading. Everyone else in the house has long ago felt the touch of slumber. We? lay our book on the little shelf beside our reading chair. We push our typewriter back. We listen. The only answering voice in all this silence, mystery and darkness is that of the cricket in its chirr, chirr, chirr, chirr, chirr, chirr! How very silent and lonely it would be tonight without the call of these little fellows of the night. It's the cricket's way of telling how happy it is! Something like the purr of the house cat, or the wag of a dog's tail, or the knowing smile of a human being. How full this world is, anyway, of all sorts of evidences of happiness, contentment and peace. - And there is no one so poor, or bereft of sentiment but that he is able to gather from some quarter at almost any moment of the day or night, some such kinship as the cricket's chirr, the call of a bird, or the twinkle of a star. For we are all creatures of emotion. Sentiment builds the best that we are, deep within us. The Infinite God understood the creature of His handiwork when he made you and me and put us here in our setting. We are much happier tonight because outside our window, as we fall into forgetfulness of the day and its problems, its irritations, and griefs, we shall remember last the chirr-chirr-chirr of the tiny singers of the wood. .

Births

By FREDERICK J. HAS KIN WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept, 13.

The question as to which side won the coal strike is heard on every hand now that the controversy which paralyzed the great fuel industry for five

months is at an end, temporarily speaking. It may not be important, and it may be difficult to give an answer that will stand unchallenged,

but there is a general and altogether

reasonable desire to know whether the big fight was a draw or whether the miners or the operators can claim the victory.

As matters stand there was no decis

ion, in tact, there was no referee, un

less President Harding may be said to have occupied that unenviable position, and if the president was the referee he has not seen fit to tell the

public what he thought as to the re

sult.

It is possible, .however, to review the

causes of the strike, to state what

happened during the conflict and to approximate the situation now that it

is all over. That may shed som light on the mooted question.

The miners through their union had

wage contracts or agreements which

expired March 31 last. The bituminous operators declined to meet with the representatives of the miners In

national conference to negotiate a new

agreement. The miners claimed that

this was in and of itself a violation

of the contract between the operators

And them. The latter claimed that in

asmuch as such anagreement might be held to be a conspiracy in violation of the antitrust law they could

not be expected to enter a conference

In the anthracite field the operators

met with the miners to work out a

new contract covering wages and

working conditions, but no agreement was reached up to and including March

31. Thereupon the miners in both

fields declined to go to work on April

1. and the strike was on. It was not

called a strike by the miners, but just

as the rose would smell as sweet if called by any other name, what hap

pened in the coal industry had all the

effect of a strike, whatever anybody

decided to call it. Facts At Issue In Conflict.

The bituminous miners had not presented any demands as to the new contract, so it can not be said that

they struck against a wage reduction.

It was well known, however, that the

operators were determined that there

should be a wage reduction, and that

the miners were insistent upon a con

tinuance of the old wage scale. The

union was also determined that the

check-off system should be perpetua

ted, while the operators were equally

set upon its abolition. The check-olf

be it remembered, is the arrangement

whereby the union dues and fees are

withheld from the miners' pay by the

operators and turned over to the treas

urer of the union.

In the anthracite branch of the coal

industry the miners demanded a wage

increase and asked for tne estaDiian

ment of the check-off system, which

has never prevailed in those fields

The operators, on the other hand, con

tended that there should be a wage

reduction. . There were other issues,

but none of sufficient importance to

have caused a strike or lockout.

the strike it may be said that in the bituminous mines production ceased wherever the miners belonged to the union and in some independent fields the workers went out as evidence of their complete sympathy with the strikers. The union miners held their forces intact throughout the period of the strike, and the only soft coal that was produced came from the non-union mines. This amounted to from 2,500,-

000 to 4,000,000 tons weekly as against a normal production or demand, of 9,-

000,000 to 10,000,000 tons per week.

In the anthracite fields production

came to an absolute stop. Not all the

miners there belong to the union, but the operators are closely organized; they have always conducted their business on the basis of the agreement

with the union and none of them

would undertake to mine coal with

independent miners or strike break

ers. There was no attempt to break

the strike and there was no independ

ent or non-union production to meet

or partially to meet the demand from

consumers. Only One x

Serious Outbreak

For the most part there was little

lawlessness during the strike. The

one black blot was the Herrin massa

ere, which is not to be discussed now

that the affair is before the grand

jury. There were some unseemly

demonstrations in Pennsylvania, but1

nothing happened that was serious unless it be held with the strikers that their rights of free speech and free

assemblage were invaded and that

that is a serious matter. In any event, it is not to be forgotten that almost

every coal mine would be ruined within a comparatively short period ot time unless the pumps were kept working and certain other things done regularly, and that the striking miners did in every Instance leave enough men, on the job to preserve the coal properties. Of course, in the long run it was to their interest to do this, but it was equally to the interest of the operators, so the miners should be given due credit. When the strike in the bituminous, field was called off, or rather when the

bituminous miners began to return to

work, it was as the result of an agreement with certain of the onerators

that the old wage scale and working agrement should be continued until March 31 next and that the check-off

system also should continue where it

nan prevailed.

in the anthracite fields the old

agreement is resumed and will be con

tinued until August 31 next.

In neither field is there a wage re-

aucuon or a wage increase. The bi

tuminous miners did not ask for more pay and It is well known that they

concerned, although of course they

industry that was over-mined and overmanned have been stabilized to certain extent, and steps have been taken looking to an , investigation and. re forme that may prove of far-reaching benefit to all concerned. In view of all this Borne observers may conclude that it could not be said with fairness that either the miners or the operators won the strike. There are so many different angles to the question that it is difficult to evaluate the results and say that the balance is one side or the other. One thing is certain, however We may not know who won the coal strike, but we may be sure that th public lost it. If the public doos not know this already, in view of empty coal bins and mounting coal prices it will know before the winter i: over.

during the months 4hey were idle.

The anthracite miners asked for a

wage increase and they do not get it,

so it may be claimed with some justice that they lost their strike in so

far as the wage issue was concerned

However, there is every reason to be

lieve that they would have been glad to renew their wage agreement last March if the operators could have

brought themselves to the point of submitting such a proprosition. As

it is the miners will have the old rate

for practically a whole year from the

close of the strike.

The operators, of coarse, have real

ized good prices on the coal stocks on hand at the time of the strike, and particularly in the bituminous fields, they will now get prices such as never would have obtained if there had been no cessation of production. The miners will have work at full time, and possibly at overtime, for the next year at least, whereas otherwise they would not have averaged more than three or

four days a week. Conditions In an;
