|CALL CONFERENCE
| TOUN|FY CHURCHES
Congregational Commission
Declares Time Is Here to
Combine Efforts.
By the Associated Press.

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,. December a.
What Is termed by It "a call for a
covenant of church unity" was issued
by the commission of unity Of the Con-
gregational churches. declaring read
mess of the commission to confer with
representatives of any other churches
concerning realignments or uniflca-
ton of our respective forces and min
istries." The call is signed by the
Rev. Nehemiah Boynton. chairman !;
the Rev. DR.. Newman Smyth. pastor
emeritus of Center Church. New
Haven, Conn.,, and Prof. Wflliston
Walker. provost of Yale University.
The call. in part. says:
"At this time. when the leading ma
tions of the world are entering into
q covenant Of ten years for the read
justment Of their military forces for
the sake Of keeping the peace Of the
world. shall not the churches Of Christ
do likewise? Shall the diplomats Of
the world be wiser for their genera
tion than the leaders of the churches?
Surely this is no time for tarrying
in theological consultations. or stand
Ing idly within ecclesiastical limita-
tions. Now is the time for practical
agreements and united action. Our
spiritual unity needs to be made so
visible that the man on the street may
see it."

law and the Clayton law does not ap-
ply.
The strike against the Daplex
started in 1913 when machinists at
tempted to enforce uniform working
conditions in printing press manufac-
turing plants. The machinists secur-
ed agreements with three of the larg-
est companies in the country and
these concerns insisted that the Du-
pleX be included that the business be
placed on the same competitive basis.
The Duplex refused and to hold their
conditions in the other plants the ma
ehinists were compelled 70 call a
strike. The New York machinists
conducted a vigorous fight against
the Duplex, and as that city is a
printing center its business was af-

CLAYTON LAW SMASHED
BY u. s. SUPREME COURT IN DECISION AGAINST
MACHINISTS UNION OFFICIALS
Decisions of Federal and Circuit Courts Reversed II
Ruling of Highest Court

Washington In a six-to-three de-
cision the United ctates supreme
court rules that the Duplex Printing
Press Company, of Battle Creek,
Mich, can secure an injunction against
officials of Machinsts' unions of New
York city and others restraining them
from carrying on boycott against
the company.
The defendant unionists claimed
that the Clayton amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law debarred an
injunction in these cases. This posi-
tion was sustained by a minority of
the court-Justices Brandeis, Holmes
and Clark.
Two sections of the Clayton law
six and twenty-are treated at length
in the majority opinion which holds,
in effect, that section six permits
unions to engage in normal activi-
ties" but they are not privileged to
''become a cloak for an illegal COM
bination or conspiracy in restraint Of
trade as defined by the antitrust
laws"
Section twenty provides that nc
injunction shall be issued in "a case
between an employer and employees
involving or growing out of dispute
concerning terms or conditions of EN-
ployment"
The court holds that this provision
applies only to parties directly in
volved. The court says this section
can not be regarded as including al
members of a labor organization as
parties to a dispute concerning
terms or conditions of employment
which proximately affects only few
of them

In effect, the decision is as follows
Machinists may strike against the
printing press company but wher
machinists in New York ask othel
unionists not to handle the non-unior
machines, this is a conspiracy to inter
fere with interstate commerce and i:
