Gov. Cox Signs Bill
Permitting Suing of
Voluntary Associations

Boston. May Ex-Governor Cox to-
day signed a bill permitting legal
suits by or against voluntary asso-
Citations. The bill had been opposed
vigorously by labor unions as a meas
ure aimed at defeat of the right 10
strike.
Answering the objections voiced by
union leaders at a hearing Saturday
the governor issued statement
with the announcement that he had
signed the bill.
He said: The bill applies to all
voluntary associations whether Of
employers or employees. or of great
groups who have found holding
companies or voluntary associations
q convenient method of controlling
many large corporations, Every
such association ought to be held
responsible for its acts and it ought
to be possible to bring suit against
such an association. Labor unions
making a fair and legal fight need
have no fear Of the result of this
act. If labor union were sued on
a groundless claim in order to tie
up it's funds under attachment, / am
confident our courts would exercise
their power and reduce or discharge
such attachment"

intention of interfering with the ex-
ecutive authority.
President Harding in urging that
Congress take no action on the sub
Ject at this time, has indicated tina,
he would prefer to have it taken ur
by Ambassador Harvey as his per-
sonal representative before the Allied
supreme council when the interna
tional situation is such as to warra nj
the calling of conference of the
powers to consider limiting naval
armament.
Senator Borah, however, has intro
ouced a resolution requesting the
PRESIDENT to call a conference be-
tween Great Britain, Japan and the
United States to discuss disarmament
and Will press for action when the
naval appropriation is considered in
the Senate.
disarmament he said in his state
ment tonight, is primarily a question
OF taxation. a subject exclusively
given TO Congress.
The fact that the plan or sugses
ton, may Incidentally touch our re-
iationship with other nations should
not be taken as prohibitive of Con-
gress action" he continued. we
have no intention whatever of inter
fering with the executive authority
we simply propose to urge the only
plan by which it is possible for Con-
gress to reduce these fearful bur
dens which are now running the peo-
pie of this country"
He referred to the recent letter of
Secretary Mellon which said the
present rate of expenditures was dis
astrous
He has further advised us he
said, that there is no way to reduce
our tax burdens except through a. cut
in the army and navy appropriations.
This makes the proposition a simple
one and particularly a matter for
Congress to ne-legitimately
within the jurisdiction of Congress
and of no other department of the
government
TT is nothing less than a crime
against humanity that the three great
nations associated in the late war
should now be taxing their people to
death and driving on toward bank
ruptcy at double rate of speed. in
order to build up fighting forces
never before heard of in the world.
Certainly some one ought to be will
ing to call halt. and if Congress. the
taxing power. the war war making
power. and the responsible power to
the people is unwilling to do any
thing, it would look as if the whole
scheme had broken down
There seems to be those who think
there is no haste about this matter
Wei. have an idea that the tax peN-
crs think that relief can not come toe
soon. And unless we halt this COM
petitive race before I've get so faf
along that suspicion and hate ana
jealousy have taken control OF the
situation. we will not halt 1t at All
