BRANDS DECISION
 AS "ANTI-UNION"
Samuel GOmpers Arraigns De- cree in Alleged Boycott Re versal-Deprives People of Their Right.

St. Louis, Jan. 4.-The decision of the United States supreme court yes- terday relative to the so-called secon- dary boycott was attacked in for nal statement here tonight by Sam uel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, who as- serted the court has "joined forces with the anti-union shop movement"
 The statement characterized the decision as a "blow at the move ment of human freedom and pro- gress," and declared it is thorough ly in accord with the most ardent wishes of predatory greed.
 The court held that labor unions CT their members are accountable under the antitrust laws where they turn from their normal and legiti- mate objects and engage in an actual combination or conspiracy in res traint of trade"
 MT. Gompers' statement follows:
 "The supreme court, in rendering it's decision in the case of the Duplex Printing Press Company versus the International Association of Machin- ists has joined forces with the anti union shop movement, the movement to undermine and destroy the only organization which the working peo- pie have for their protection.
 "The decision of the majority jus tices, fully justifes the statement at tributed by the press to Justice Brandeis in the minority dissenting opinion that the whole movement of thirty years to place workers and employers on basis of equality be- fore the law has been nullified
 'I have not read the whole lan- guage of the decision, but have seen sufficient to say that it is thorough ly in accord with the most ardent wishes of predatory greed and should be highly satisfactory to those who exalt profits and deny the aspirations of humanity.
 It is blow at the movement for human freedom and progress. I can only add that the protests of minori- ties one day have frequently been the decisions of majorities of the next day"
 President Gompers arrived in St. Louis tonight en route from Wash ington to Mexico City to attend the Pan-A American Federation of Labor convention. He expects to leave to- morrow.

Rev. John Howard Melish, of the
Church of the Holy Trinity in Brook

the refusal Of The Board of Education
to approve DR.. Holmes as Il speaker in
public school building.
The heat with which Dr. Holmes him.
self expressed his feelings Saturday

Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, who ad
dressed the Community Forum last
night at the meeting house of the So

West and Sixty-fourth Street. asserted
that she thought "Big Bill" Haywood
had done just right IL he had jumped
his bail to become Minister of Propa-

Russia.
Every sensible comrade believes
that too many Of our leaders are in
Jail now" said Mrs. Blatch. at is the
best thing possible to have Big Bill' at
liberty and trying to bore in from

thing possible, according to the account
of his action, and | shall be extremely
sorry if he turns up tomorrow at +, TT
Leavenworth to take his sentence"
The Rev. DR.. John Haynes Holmes,
who was barred from forum in
Brooklyn az being too radical in his

If Haywood had fed to Russia, or any
where else, while his case was. pending,
said DR.. Holmes, he had done dis

Wants Canadian Pacific
TO Run National Railway
Lord Shaugl,nessy Also Pro-
poses Administration i'll Plan
10 Premier Mcighen

MONTREAL, April 24.-Administra-
ton and operation of the Canadian
National Railway by the Canadian Pa
cic is proposed in a letter from Lord
Shaughnessy, chairman of the latter
road, to Premier Meighen, which was
made public to-day. Lord Shaughnessy
disclaimed any attempt to create a
Canadian Pacific monopoly.
The chairman said that present opcr-
atons Of the roads made demand of
5000 900 day upon the government
without any compensating advantage.
His plan, he asserted, would eliminate
all danger of political interference, and
after payment of fixed charges of the
entire system, including dividends Of
Canadian Pacific preferred stock, a
total annual deficit of S5l 100 900 would
be arrived at. Add to this. he said. the
guaranteed dividend of the Canadian
Pacific common stock and it would then
amount 20 about $50 100000.
While he admitted shat this would
be little improvement on present con-
ditions, he said that if the average
operating cost of the combined system
could be brought to the Canadian Pa
cihc level it would represent a saving
of $56,000,000 The remaining deficit,
he declared, could be brought to eleven
or twelve millions, and this would
gradually be caught up with

WASHINGTON, April 24.--John r
Adams, vice chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, will be
elected chairman to succeed Post
master General Will II. Hays when the
committee NETS early in June, accord
ing to present plans. While there is
some opposition to Mr.. Adams, and
Elmer Dover, one-time secretary of
the committee, is regarded as an as
pirant, friends OF Mr.. Adams said to-
day they wee confident that he would
be elected.
The cSmmittee plans to hold a meet
ing about June 10. At that meeting
the resignation of Chairman Hays will
be received and it is the intention to
elect his successor. At one time there
was talk of letting things drift with
an acting chairman, bit the majority
Of the committee is opposed to this.
President Harding is understood to
be willing to have Mr.. Adams, who is
National Committeeman froL Iowa
chosen for the chaiffnansnic. Earlier
the President wanted Senator New TO
head the committee Senator New was
not willing to do so, inasmu.h as he
has a hard fight ahead in Indiana for
denomination. Charles y. Hilles, Of
New York. also was regarded favorably
by the White House, but Mr.. Hilles
did not want to become chairman on
account Of business affairs.
Mr.. Adams, as ce-chairman, is the
logical successor Of Chairman Hays,
according to his friends. and they
have polled the committee and have
found a large majority of that body
favorable to him.
At the time Mr.. Hays was elected
chairman Mr.. Adams was defeated for
the position himself by reason of at
tacks on him on the ground that he
was too friendly to Germany. 1t IL
unlikely, however, that these attacks
will be renewed. In the last campaign
he was in charge of the Republican
headquarters at Chicago and was given
credit for effective work.
Mr.. Adams is now in Washington
giving attention to National Commit
tee affairs. Elmer Dover also is here.
Presence of the two men has served
TO stir interest in the chairmanship.

over a proposed reduction in wages and
revised working conditions.
Inc government has indicated from
time to time that the nationwide ship
Ping tie-up threatened by the workers
on May |, when the present agreement
expires, must be avertcd at all costs.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover and
Secretary Of Labor Davis have both
been watching the situation closely,
the latter making it plain to the own
efs and employees that if al. adjust
ment is not reached within the next
SIX days he would have to take a firm
hand IN the matter. The Federal au-
thorities' unusual interest arises from
the TACT that the United States Ship
ping Board is responsible for four
seVenths of all ships flying the Ameri-
can flag.
The first of the conferences will be
held with the representatives of the
Marine Engineers Beneficial Associa-
ton, who will meet the owners at 10

ers have fatty rejected all suggestions
o. wage reductions and have countered
with SIX demands, including abolition
or the United States Shippinp BOARD

seamen's act and preference to union
applicants.
The employees have made the addi
tlonal stipulation that their six uoints
must first be decided before the waoe
question IS considered. Admiral Ben
son, chairman of the Shipping Board
IS IN favor of some readiustment in
'he matter OF wages, but has not com
