UNIONS HELD LIABLE
BY SUPREME COURT
Labor Organization Amenable to
Provisions Of Sherman Anti
Trust Law

Washington, June 5.'-Decldlng the
celebrated Coronado coal case, the
supreme court today held that labor
organizations although unincorporat-
ed, are amenable to the Sherman
antitrust act, and that under 1T such
organization may be prosecuted for
restraint of interstate commerce. The
court also held that labor unions are
suable. Chief Justice Taft in an
nouncing the decision did not indi-
cate any dissent.
The case which presented the cues
tions passed upon by the court was an
appeal by the United States Mine
Workers of America, district No. Il
of that organgization and the oftic-
ers, 27 local unions in that district
and their officers and 65 individuals,
some of the latter not members Of
any union, from a decision by the
United States district court Of Ar
kansas, approved by the circuit court
of appeals holding them guilty OF vio-
lating the Sherman antitrust act
during the coal mine strikes in Ar
kansas in 1914, and imposing damag-
es Of 100000, which were, trebled
under the antitrust law.
Labor leaders in Washington, in
cluding officers Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, while expressing
concern over the sweeping provisions
of the decision, declined to author
ize any statement in advance of
careful study of the findings Of the
court. They were particularly in
terested in that section of the opin-
ion which held that the treasury Of
labor organizations could betheld la
bic for damages caused by labor
unions.
The Coronado easeD wasstae nam
applied to one Of the most fam6us
proceedings to reach the supreme
court within recent years. Its fame
arose not only from the long period
it remained on the docket but from
it's Importance, involving as it did the
question of whether organized labor
as represented in the United Mine
Workers of America could be prose-
cuted under the Sherman antitrust
law for restraint of interstate COM
merce resulting from strikes.
The Coronado and Associated Coal
companies of Arkansas instituted in
the United States Mine Workers had
unlawfully conspired to suppress nom
union competition, and that the de-
struction of the property had been re-
sorted to, with attendant restraint Of
interstate commerce., to accomplish
that end. The decision of the court
dsmissing the suit was set aside by
the United States circuit court Of
appeals for the Eighth circuit, and
in the same court, on second trial,
before different federal Judge, the
Jury found that the destruction Of
the mine property was due to con-
spiracy to prevent the mining of coal
by non-union labor, and had resulted
in a restraint of interstate commerce.
The jury placed actual damages at
$500, 900, which were trebled by the
court under the Sherman law. The
award, affirmed by the circuit court
of appeals, was brought to the su-
preme court by the labor unions on
the ground that being incorporated
they could not be sued.

EXPECT RAPID DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE WAR FRAUD CASES
Warrant Issued for Head Atlanta
Lumber Co., Charged With
Dcfraudirg Government

Washington, June 5.-The war
frauds inquiry of the department of
Justice developed a mystery today
concerning the identity of the person
or persons who on Saturday swcre
out warrant for the arrest Of John
Lewis Phillips, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee Of Georgia,
charging fraud in execution Of war
contracts.
Commissioner Isaac R. HIT, who
on Saturday issued the warrant, de-
clined today to say who made the
complaint on which the warrant was
issued. 1t became known, however,
that four persons appeared at Com
missioner Hits office late Saturday
and that the warrant wac issued soon
thereafter.
At the department of justice sur
prise was expressed today. 'The de-
partment of justice is working in the
dark" one high official SAID. we
know nothing about it,
Likewise the district attorneys Of
flee professed no knowledge, and de-
clared that the warrant was not is
sued at It's request.
The warrant for the arrest of
Phillips, it was learned, is in the
hands of United States Marshal Ed
gar C. Snyder, and in case Phillips is
not located in Washington it will be
turned over to the Unitd States mar
shall in whatever district Phillips is
to be found. HIS home is in Georgia
and he is said to have an Office in
Philadelphia.
A phase of the case that added to
the mystery is that despite the de-
partment Of Justices denial of knowl-
edge of the matter, the United States
marshals Office was notified on Sat
urday to send two deputy marshals
up to the department of justice pre-
pared to act in connection with the
Phillips warrant.

Washington, June 5.-Issuance Of
a warrant for the arrest of j. L. Phil
lips, chairman of the republican state
committee for Georgia, charging
fraud in the execution Of war con-
tracts, led to expectation of further
rapid developments today as the spe-
cial grand jury investigating war
fraud cases entered the second week
of its deliberations. Phillips, as a
member of the firm of Phillips and
Stevens, shortly after the arnistice
obtained a contract from the govern
ment, as the agent Of conference of
lumber dealers, to dispose of surplus
lumber left from cantonment and
camp construction and other war de-
velopments.
Proceedings of the grand jury
which so far as can be learned has
yea to hand down its first Indictment,
have been yelled in secrecy, and Uni
ted States Commissioer Hit, who is
sued the warrant for Phillips, be-
vond confirming reports that it had
been issued has refused to discuss the
case. 1t has been generally reported,
however, that lumber contracts have
been the first to be considered by the
grand jury.
In recent speech in the house,
Representative Woodruff, Republican
Michigan, asserted that government
auditors had filed reports with the
department of justice in September,
1921, showing that Phillipsp and Ste
vens still owed the government under
their contract more than $1,S50,0OO.
While the contract called for the dis
posal of spruce, pine, hemlock and
fir lumber only, Mr.. Woodruff said,
the report chowed the firm had sold
more than so varieties, including
much valuable hardwoods.

sound audible at the time the pic
ture was TAKEN" Mr.. de Forest ex-
planned. "You can take the pictures
and sounds at the same time with
an ordinary movie camera if my in
vention, called "photion, is built in
the above objective. And you can
project film pictures and reproduce
sounds with an ordinary project
ing machine if photo electric cell is
built in it."
Both these attachments are used
together with de Forests audion am
prif1er, an earlier invention of his
which has made the home radio re-
ceiver possible. The .ventor ex-
planned that the "photion," which
photographed sounds, consisted of
a glass tube which, upon being con-
nected with the amplifier through a
high current transmitter, reproduc-
ed sound by means Of an intensive
violet light which, varying in
strength, according to the nature of
the sound, was recorded on the film
through a slit two milimeters wide.
-w The reproduction of sound was
made, possible through the photo
electric cell, an invention already
well known in scientific circles. The
sound was then strengthened by
means Of a megaphone hidden be-
hind the screen on which the pic
lures We're cast, lectures, music or
speech being reproduced in the
same way.
Mr.. de Forest has been working
on his invention three years, two
being spent in the United States and
one here. He applied for patents in
the United States three years ago
and in two weeks will return there
to perfect his invention in one of the
leading movie studios.

Says All Women Can Extend
Their Teens Over Into the
Fifties and Sixties - Is
Touring Country

LOS ANGELES.-Edna Wallace
Hopper is telling the world how to
be flapper at sixty-two.
She ought to know. For she's
sixty-two, looks twenty, weighs
SO pounds, wears knee-length skirts,
and hasn't bit Of gray in her bob
bed brown hair.
I'm touring the country" Miss
Hopper says, "to' impress on Amer
lean women that they can, by taking
care, eextend the appearance and
spirit Of their teens over into the fiji
ties and sixties. I use myself as
the example, and my message is
chiefly for the flapper to encourage
her in her sensible vanity"
Miss Hopper, who made her stage
debut in 1881, six months ago got
tired of her old face and had a sur
geon provide a new one by an opera
ton to remove sag by stretching.
Despite all my care, a few wrin-
kles had appeared" she said. They
didn't properly advertise my bub-
bling young spirits, so I had them
remedied. We look into the mirror,
see wrinkles, and we begin to act
wrinkled. I have just reversed the
process. A woman is as old as she
looks"
Miss Hopper continues to work at
keeping young every day, so age can
score no setback.
Here are some OF Miss Hopper's
beauty hints;
IT never allow water to touch face
or hair. It hardens and forms wrin-
kles. Every morning I anouint my
body with oil; then battle in cold
water; never take a hot bath.
II advise powdering the face and
the use Of a little rouge. I exercise
by my 10-minute oil rub-and by
dancing, swimming and walking.
MY meals are light. I never use
a pillow for sleeping. never drink,
and do not smoke"

NOTE Of BALFOUR
WAS BAD BLUNDER
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL

BY EDWARD PRICE BELL

LONDON, Aug. 15.-It is almost
universally admitted in London
that the Balfour note was the worst
diplomatic blunder committed by
the British government in a gen.
Grafton. 1t did harm in all direc-
tons, smothering Premier Poin-
cares belated reasonable initiative
'embittering ill-informed British
masses against the United States,
and causing every American who
read it to resent what he felt was
its injustice. But for the efforts of
private American citizens in Eu.
rope and the expressions Of power
full British newspapers it would
stand before the world opinion un-
challenged.
This statement may be made
without hesitation: If the British
people had been in possession of

Is certain from the editorial com.

words. this diplomatic document is
unworthy of the British people and
should not be charged to their ac-

1t has been pointed out hereto

government, in asking the United

sympathy with Lord Balfour's ap-

BUSINESS SYSTEM
HARDW|CK' s AIM

DALTON, Ca, Aug. 15.-Declar
ing that his one real ambition was
to give to the state of Georgia mod
ern business methods of financing it's
affairs, RELOCATING the old, antiquat-
ed system under which the state now
functions, Governor Thomas w.
Hardwick brought his campaign for
reelection into Whitfield county,
speaking to an audience of about $50
people at $3.50 o'clock Monday after
noon at the courthouse here. The
governor was introduced by his local
campaign manager, John Mitchell,
well-known young lawyer Of this
city.
Stating that he was entitled to an
endorsement Of his work as governor
met with the approval Of the people,
the speaker called upon his hearers
to forget the issues of the past and
concern themselves with the duties
of the present and the responsible
ties Of the future.
He urged the people to send to the
legislature representatives who
would pldge themselves to business
system for Georgia, one that would
put an end to graft by preventing it
before it was accomplished, system
whereby the affairs Of state would
BIO audited and the people could at
all times find out the financial con-
dition of Georgia, with any extrava-
gance or miSmanagement.
Governor Hardwick's speech was
largely on the lines of the one de-
livered earlier in the day at Chats
worth. He spoke of his method Of
financing Georgia through a critical
period by discounting the rental Of
the state road and making it up
with the gasoline tax. He urged the
retention Of the present tax equali-
zat:on law until graduated net in
come tax law could be enacted, the
stopping Of extravagant appropria-
tions without the money to pay them,
and tight curb on lawlessness in
Georgia.
He paid his respects to Clifford
Walker, who, he said, claimed to be
the candidate Of Senator Thomas
E. Watson, but this, the speaker in
sisted, was not true. He outlined Mr..
Walkers platform for a repeal Of
the tax equalization law without
provision for new taxing laws, ana
then scored him for his advocacy of
larger appropriations in his plan
to provide free school books, ) pay
pensioners more and appropriate
large sums for roadwork without a
bond issue.
The Ku Klux Khan he discussed
at length, insisting that while it's
principles were good, the masking
idea was all wrong. He said that
Georgia would not permit, so long
as he was governor, any secret So
ciety to meet and secretly consider
the acts of any person and then,
outside the courts, attempt to regu-
ate the conduct of the people.
The governor was interrupted with
applause a number of times, and
was cheered at the completion Of his
talk

Lee de Forest, Leading Ra-
dio Inventor, Displays
"Speaking Film" to Amer
lean NeWSpapernen
BY GEORGE WHITE

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, Augh 15.-The talk
ing film," the dream of Edison and
other world famous inventors, has
come true at last. Before q group
of American newspaperm Al Lee de
Forest, a leading wireless inventor
and one of the men who put the
radio with all it's marvellous possi-
bilities, in so many homes, showed
several reels of movies today in
which the photographed persons
actually spoke to the lookerson.
One of them even played a violin
and it sounded as though it were in
the same room, although the pic
lures and sounds had been filmed
several days before.
According to Mr.. de Forest the
outstanding feature of his invention
is that he is able to photograph
sounds as If they were pictures. A
"cut-out" of one of the films show
ed a standard size move strip per-
forated on both sides and the actual
picture in the center. The devia-
ton from the ordinary strip lay in
a two-millimeter wide reproduction
on the right-hand side of the film of
a criss-cross line running side by
side with the picture.
