MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1922 NO. GG M Mail Tribune FORD SUPREME COUR I Fighting Bob Assails Chief Justice Taft and Associates for Decision Against Labor Unions Animus Toward Labor Claimed. WASHINGTON, Juno 7. Declar ing that the supreme court decision In the Coronado coal case was the "most ominous In what It foreshadows for the future of union labor In this country," Senator LaFollett, republi can, Wisconsin, today Issued a state ment In which he criticised, the court. The opinion, he stated, was "significant because of what the court says on questions not involved In the cnBe rather than because of anything that is actually decided." . After reviewing the conditions which led up to and prevailed during the strike in the Arkansas coal mines In 1914, upon which the case was based, the Wisconsin senator declared "a six line decision was all that was required to dispose of the case on Its merits for the supreme court was re luctantly obliged to admit the fact as I have stated," the reference being to his assertion that "there is not and never was any case against the de fondants In the federal court." The supreme court, however, Sen ator LaFollette stated, "went out of Its way through 29 pages to berate the defendants and to characterize them as outlaws and murdererB, and the chief Justice wound up his opin ion by saying: 'The circumstances are such as to awake a regret that In our view of the federal Jurisdiction we cannot affirm the Judgment." The court also went out of its way, the senator said, "to change the law as It has existed in the United States since the (begliinlng of the govern ment that unincorporated associa tions BUch as are Involved here, could not be sued as an entity;" - - , Reviewing what he stated was the authority of the court upon which It based the finding, Senator LaFollette charged that "Chief Justlco Taft neg lected to state as the result of the Taft-Vale case the British parliament passed a statute which cut up that decision, root and branch, and made It impossible for an English court to ever render a similar decision. "No doubt our supreme court feels secure behind the bulwark of a writ ten constitution, the meaning of which that court has arrogated to Itself the function of finally, deter mining," tho senator concluded.

PRINCESS MARIE ROYAL IN MANIFESTO BY II YUAN HUNG STIRS CHINESE Declaration Against Militar ists Sent Broadcast By Presidential Candidate Names Condition Under Which He Will Take Office. TIEN TSIN, June 7. (By Associat ed Press). In a remarkable manifesto telegraphed throughout the, country today, denouncing scathingly the milt tary cliques that have reduced China to political Impotence, LI Yuan Hung laid down the conditions under which he was willing to accede to the request that he assume the task of attempting to head a new centralized government In Poking. Li was president of China in 1917 when the pressure of militar ists forced him out ot office: Referring to the numerous requests he had received to resume the presi dericy LI said these petitions had not left him unmoved. Ho then recounted what he termed his "sin against parlia ment" for giving In to the militarists and dissolving It in 1917. He spoke of the ceaseless fighting In China in the last decade, fearing it was not yet over. Wherein lay the root of all this strife? He answered that it could be found in the Tuchun, or system of pro vincial military governors. He declared that China excelled all other nations in poverty and in the size ot its armies. Dlsbandment, he added, invariably had been "farclal." The people "cry aloud for vengeance on the militarists." The Tuchun sys tem he termed "the negation of democ racy ruinous financially." Efforts hitherto made to abolish the Tuchun had been futile; they merely emerged under other names. ' ' Kitlior, he said, the Tuchun must sacrifice themselves, or the nation It self will sacrifice them. There must be no delay. Taking up the various arguments against immediate abolition of Tu- chuns, he Insisted that If the militar-! ists wore sincere In their desire to unite the nation it could be accom- I'Ubueu in ivu uaytt. vviuie warning the Tucnuns to see the signs or tne times, he gave assurance that those of ythem worthy of consideration would receive liberal treatment from grateful countrymen. LI declared himself reluctant to re turn to Peking but said he . would undertake the responsibility It all TuchunB and high Inspecting commis sioners would resign immediately, ac companying him to the capltol to con fer on the welfare of China.
