Engraving Company
Asks Court to STAY
Price-Fixing Strike
Order Against Union Sought
Under Meyer-Martin Act;
Labor Men Contend New
Law Violates Their Rights

Counsel for the Standard Engraving
Company applied to Justice Whitaker
in the Supreme Court yesterday for an
injunction under the new Mayer Mar
tin act to restrain Photo Engravers'
Union, No. l, from calling strike to
enforce the prices fixed for photo-en-
cravings by the union. Edward j.
Voiz. president of the union, and Will
liam Doerr, its business agent. are
named specifically in the application.
1t was alleged that the union had
settled strikes called for this or other
causes only after the employers had
agreed to pay strikers full time for the
period of their idleness and promised
solemnly never again to depart from
the prices fixed by the union.
Counsel for the union argued that
the Meyer Martin act was unconstitu
tlonal. The act was framed for the
purpose Of removing the immunity
which the photo-engravers' union has
enjoyed from prosecution under the
Donnelly antitrust act Counsel for
the union asserted that the new law in
Yaded the constitutional privilege of
the union of fixing photo engraving
prices so as to assure members of the
union proper wage scale.
Justice Whitaker indicated as the
argument proceeded that he regard ed
the Meyer Martin act as constitutional
and that his chief doubt. in the case
was as to the authority of the court to
gnjoin strike Kenneth NJ. Spence,
who appeared for the National Pub
fishers Association, devoted his ar
gument to support of the proposition
that the court had the power to enjoin
an unlawful strike.
Justice Whitaker gave counsel ten
days in which to file brief in support
of the National Publishers Association.

Court Fails to Turn
Husband Into Housewife
Woman Says Mate Ignored
Order to Don Apron and
Help Around Home

One of the first husbands sentenced
under Magistrate John Kochendorfer's
rules for husbands, George Watson, of
1876 Fifth Street, Long Island City, is
not making good on the business of
kitchen police, to which the magistrate
assigned him, according to reports
from the Watson home yesterday.
Wednesday Mrs. Margaret Watson
made complaint in court against her
husband, George, who is thirty-fve
years old, railroad detective and out

the workhouse. Miss Mickey, the pro-
baton officer, wilhumpire your future"
In the face of this sentence the re-
port comes that Watson is openly ffout-
ing the magistrates edict. His wife
said yesterday that he had stayed out
late the night before, as usual, and had
not been helping her at the apartment
during the day.
"Magistrate Kochendorfer's rules for
a husband are failure thus far, so far
as my husband is concerned" said Mrs.
Watson. Last night he did not obey
the magistrate but came home long
after midnight. Then this morning,

New Anti Tank Machine Gum
Devised; Shoots Through Armor
Hurs Bullet Five Times Heavy as Army Rifle, Says
Ordnance Department Major; u. S. Has Re-
serve Stock of ST 500, 600, 900 i'm Munitions

ROCK ISLAND, IN, May 27.-~The
United. States Army has developed a
40 caliher machine gun capable of fir
ing bullet which. at 200 yards, will
penetrate the one-inch armor plate OF
battle tanks, Major Lee o, Wright
uounced to-day at the annual conven-
tion of the ordnance section of the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, at Rock Island Arsenal.
The new weapon is an outgrowth of
the war, he said, when lighting tanks
were armored to resist the so calibcr
bullet Of the rifles and machine guns
then in use.
The so caliher machine gun 9res a
bullet weighing 500 grains. as com
pared to the $50 grains of the stand
ard 80 caliber ammunition.
The gun is modelled along the plan
of the Browning machine gun, de-
veloped during the war, and weighs
sixtytive pounds. The gun has q
muzzle velocity of $500 feet second
and an effective range of from 5000
to 1000 yards,
In testing the new gun and ammu-
milton, the ordnance department has
built rife range at the Aberdeen. Md.
proving grounds, consisting of pool
of water 1000 yards long and narrow
gauge railroad track running back
900 yards

OF the World War, sufficient to supply

ton could be resumed and brought to
full capacity, Colonel C.. LII. Ruggles
ordnance department, told the engin-
GERS.
Experience in the World War
showed, he said, that men could be
modified and trained faster than
munitions could be produced and that
IT took practically twenty months for
the ordnance department to catch up
with the army in the field.
The present problem, he said, is to
replace explosives as they deteriorate
and other material as it becomes OBJ
other nations in the development of
new weapons; and keep up-to date
plans for the quickest possible utliza-
ton of government and private facli-
ties in munitions production in the
event of war.
81 think that few men will assert"
said Colonel Ruggles, ain view Of the
many lessons of our own short history,
that the United States has fought its last
war. Lamentable as wars are, no ma
chinery has been devised yet that will
prevent or even limit their frightful-
ness"
The present munitions reserve is
estimated to be worth $1,000 900 900,
Colonel Ruggles said. To replace the
ammunition every fifteen years as it
deteriorates and the other munitions
every thirty years would cost $50 .000,-
900 annually, he said.

manifest on every hand we'll in advance

There is another feature of the sale
of foreign bonds in the United States
which is giving the Administration
grave concern and which makes the
President all the more determined to
maintain his insistence that if bonds
are solo the proceeds mus: be used in
the purchase of American commodities
That is the effect which the sale Of
foreign government bonds bearing q
high rate of interest would have on the
sale Of railroad and industrial bonds
in the United States.
The Administration is not worried
about any competition with American
government bonds, but it is fearful that
the American railroads, already stag
gering under the attempt to maintain
their present charges without larger
rates, could not stand the pace if they
had to compete in interest charges with
the and 10 per cent bonds Of foreign
governments.
