Employer Car Require
Employee to T. uounce
Union Says Court
Many State Laws Including Mnnesota Law nvalidated
BY This Decision Supreme Court Was Divided On
the Proposition Three Judges Dissenting.

Washington, Jan. 26.--The constita-
tional right Of employers TO require
employees to renounce their union
affiliations as condition of employ
ment was sustained yesterday by. the
supreme court in a. decision, far reach
ing to organized labor, In which the
Kansas So called coercion statute was
declared unconstitutional. Associate
Justice Day joining dissenting
opinion with Justices Hughes and
Holmes, declared he believed similar
laws in thirteen other states and in
Porto Rico fell by the decision.
Under the Kansas state statute 1t
was unlawfully for any individual or
corporation to coerce or influence any
person to enter into an agreement not
to join or remain a member of a
labor organization as q condition OF
securing or continuing employment.
The case arose from the conviction OF
I b. Cop2ase, a division superintsnd-
ent of the Frisco railway system, for
threatening A. r. Hedge. Il switchman,
with dismissal il he did not withdraw
from the Switchmen's Union of North
America
The substance of the opinion of the
majority of the court was ia this para
graph:
Just as labor organizations have
the inherent and CONSTITUTIONAL right to
deny membership to any man who will
not agree that during such member
ship he wifi not accept or retain en-
ployment in company with nonunion
men: and Just as a union man has the
constitutional right to decline proffered

MINI. NAN
TOOK LIFE
AT MINOT

Minot, N. D.. Jan. 26.-Fifteen min
utes after registering under the name
"Jack Ford, Minneapolis" a stranger
fired bullet through his heart in a
room in the Lexington hotel last
night. Three shots were heard by
Mrs. Oliver Fortune from her room
across the hall.
She summoned the hotel proprietor
and her husband to the scene. The
man was lying on the beed, his feet
resting on the floor. The position
would indicate he sat on the edge of
the bed when the shots we're fired.
The first two either went wild or he
was testing the gun, one bullet lodg-
ing in the ceiling and the. other in
the wall.
The third shot sent bullet into the
mans heart He died before the ar
rival of a physician. A small diary
with the following memorandum was
found in his pocket: my name is
Clifford Squires, address, Cyrus, MINI.
My aunt's name, Helen Kittleson,
Cyrus. Mimi
The coroner wired Minnesota for
information.

employment unless the employer will
agree not to employ any nonunion
man; so, the employer has the con-
stitutional right to insist that the
employe shall refrain from afIiliatipn
with the union during the term of en-
ployment."
The contention OF the dissenting
justices is expressed In the main in
this paragraph of their opinions:
9Could an employer not be forbidden
from demanding agreements that an
employe should not join the national
down agreements not to join q certain
political party? Why not labor unions,
whatever members of this court may
think of these unions?'
Other laws which, according TO
Justice Day. are inyalidated by yester-
days opinion are those of California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Massa-
chustees. Minnesota, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma,
Oregon. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
and Porto Rice.
Justice Pitney in announcing the
majority's opinion. made it clear that
he did not consider actual coercion
as beyond the power of the states co
prohibit. He declared the decision was
not only based on reason, but was sup-
ported by the decision OF the coura
several years ago in the Adair case. IN
which the federal act Of 1893 prohibit
ing an interstate railroad from dis
charging an employee because he be-
longed to union was annulied as un-
constitutional.

Good Road Bonding
Measure Slaughtered
By the Lower House

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. 26.--Following
a heated debate on the floor of the
house the representatives went on rec
ord as not favoring the giving Of the
people of the state a chance to vote
on whether or not North Dakota shall
be bonded for the purpose Of building
good roads.
The house was in the committee OF
the whole, with Gen. e. A. Williams OF
Burleigh county In the chair, when
Treadweil Twichell's< bill No. 156 came
up for consideration. The bill provides
for constitutional amendment, which
if passed by two sessions of the legis-
lature and then accepted by the people,
would provide a means whereby the
people OF the state would be allowed
to vote ON the question of bonding the
state for sum sufficient to start
