LAW BASED ON
CLAYTON ACT Is
HELD TO BE VOID

Washington.--In n 5-to-4 decision,
handed down by Chief Justice Taft,
the United States supreme court has
set aside an Arizona statute which
prohibits the issuance Of injunctions
In labor disputes unless necessary to
prevent irreparable injury to prop
erty or a property right" Justices
Brandeis, Pitney, Clarke and Holmes
dissented.
The Arizona law Is similar 10 sec
ton 20 Of the Clayton act, passed by
congress in 1914. Chief Justice Taft
explained that the courts decision
does not invalidatc the Clayton law
because "the equality clause Of the
fourteenth amendment federal con-
stitution) does not apply TO congress
sional, but only TO state, action"
The case came before the court as
a result Of a boycott against a Bisbe
(Ariz.) restaurant, owned by William
Traux, who refused 10 grant an eight
hour day to employees. He was de-
MED an injunction in the Arizona
courts, which held that the law of that
state prohibits these wiits when prop
erty Is not injured, and that patron
age is not property.

LOCAL UNIONS VOTING
ON QUESTION OF CUTTING
4 ssA-e PRICE OF THE REVIEW

Local unions of the Twin Cities are
voting at their meetings on the propo-
Sition of the Twin City Federation of
Labor to change the bylaws in
manner that will permit of lowering
the subscription price of The Twin
City Review from $500 a year to
Sl.50, and reports so far received are
Indicative of the carrying out of these
plans.
A strong effort is being made to
have the unions support the paper
collectively-just the same as unions
transact their other business collec-
tively-and in this manner save the
very expensive item of making indi-
vidual solicitations and collections.
This Is simply another phase of the
collective bargaining plan of doing
the unions business. TO those unions
whose membership decides to support
The Review as union, the subscrip
uon price will be 10 cents a month,
payable to the secretary, who in turn
forwards the money to the secretary
OF the Federation. To others, the
new price will be S1.50.
This does not mean that the price
of The Review is reduced. 1t means
that if the unions adopt the plan
To- sufficient degree, it will be pos
slole to make this reduction. Other
wise the old price of $3.50 a year will
stand.
-. Unions not affiliated with the Twin
Oity Federation of Labor are includ-
&c, and are to receive the paper on
the same terms as are those affiliated
with the Federation.
beginning with the third volume
oi The Review, on January 10, the
SIZE Is to be increased to a seven
column. 22-inch page, which will add
LOO inches, or considerably more than
page, to its present size.

that in so doing they are not taking

Since the Chamber of Commerce

but one thing for them to do and that
is to invite labor to present its side

at Is gratifying that the president
has taken action which will release
Eugene V. Debs, and a large number
OF other wartime prisoners on
Christmas day.
"The labor movement has been
greatly interested in these cases and
has taken the view that these prison
ers should be released because, the
war having been long since ended, no
requirement of justice called for
further punishment. II Is an act Of
Justice that they should be freed.

don was not issued for that would

TAKES STEPS TO
LOWER CAR FARES

The Urbana city council has taken
the initial steps toward reduced street
car fares and better service, also for
lower gas, electric and heating rates.
Upon receipt Of the resolution from
the Twin City Federation Of Labor
some time ago for a five cent street
ear fare. Mayor Smith appointed u
special committee composed of K. NJ.
Storey, Jacob White and Attorney {.
Il. Finfrock. Chairman Storey Of the
committee, after several weeks study
and investigation. recommended at

ell:
First. That the council authorize
Il public hearing conducted either

the purpose of considering fares and
transportation service, the date for

quest. He admitted not being able TO
prophesy the possible result of such
hearing, but stated that 1t was rec
commended in fairness to all con
cerned. He stated further that de-

AGAINST DIRECT TAXES

WASHINGTON, JUNE E13.-Representa-
tive Caleb K. Layton, of Delaware,
yesterday introduced joint resolution
in the House proposing an amendment
to the constitution of the United States.
The resolution was introduced at the re-
quest of Thomas l.. Anderson, chairl
man of the Anti-Centralization League
of st. Louis, Mo-, of which branches
are being established throughout the
country.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, By the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate of the
United States of America in Congress
assembled (two-thrds of each house
concurring thereln) that the following
amendment to the constitution be, and
hereby is proposed to the States, to be-
come valid as part of the constitution
when ratified by the Legislature of the
several States as provided by the con.
stitution.
1.-THE Congress shall have no power
to lay and collect taxes on income or to
lay and collect any other direct tax,
except to defray the expenses of actual
war and to discharge any debt now ex-
isting or thereafter incurred in the
prosecution of war;"
sCpiCoChtotiNC Lhy toi ICsOlutlOIl 10
aimed at the growing tendencies in
Congress toward socialism, further
burial of States rights, and the power
to tax the people of the country, the
establishment of bureaus and commits
sions in Washington upon which the
people are taxed without their consent.
Under present practices of enacting
legislation by Congress, people of the
States cannot be protected in the mat
ter of taxes.
Representative Layton is one of the
few members of the House who sees
the danger of the ever-lncreasing
establishment of federal bure aus in
Washington, and the Capitalization of
government. Many so-called bureaus
are established at the instance of some
group or organization for political popu-
larity, and for further remaining in
office.
Representives Harry st. George Tuck
er and r. Walton Moore, members Of
the House from Virginia, authorities on
Constitutional law, agree with Repre-
sentative Layton of the growing dan
ger facing this country because of the
rapidity with which socialism is growing
in the enactment of legislation which
further deprives the States of their
rights and powers.

PRESIDENT PRODS CONGRESS

DRESIDENT HARDING is impatient
= with the tagging of Congress.
Hence he has informed the members
that the ship subsidy bill should be
passed, and if it is not Mr.. Harding
will call an extra session of Congress.
So there you are.
His note must have Jared the men,
bers. The last thing they desire is that
extra session. They want the present
session ended as soon as possible so
that they can return to their home dis
tricts and mend their fences. And
some of the fences at this time are in
rather bad shape.
An extra session would materially in
tertere with the plans of many a mem.
Der. One trouble has been that the
lawmakers at Washington, many of
them, have considered the President as
too easy, not likely to insist upon any
particular thing, but they will sing a
different song in view of the ultimatum
from President Harding.
The shipping measure is soon to be
reported to the House of Representa-
tives from committee, and the Presi-
dent urges that it be passed. 1t has
been almost disgrace the way the
country has neglected shipping. During
the war when advantages were flung
into our faces the country leaped to the
front in shipping. The ill wind for the
Allies was blowing some good for the
United States, and this country got
lead which it was thought it would sus-
tain. But with the end of the war and
the appearance of depression the
United States lost its advantages
Other countries encourage greatly their
shipping, and the United States should
do the same. Conditions, if it is possi-
BILE to do so by legislation. should be
evened up. We are compelled to COM
pete with Europe, and the proposed law
which President Harding urges would
help us to do this.
1t should be remembered that this
country with the increase of our manu-
factures will depend more and more
upon foreign trade-the expert trade.
If the country had merchant marine
which could carry a large proportion OF
the export trade the advantage to the
United States would be very great. We
should be protected against discrimna.
tion on the part of foreign carriers, ad.
vertise our goods and help to maintain
valuable routes which might lapse. The
proposed law offers several important
aids to our shipping. The United States
would have a merchant marine thai
could be proftably operated, and unless
our ships can be operated with profit M
permanent improvement may be ex
pected. The proposed shipping measure
will cost money, but the government
will be amply repaid for the outlay
The measure, should it become law
would, it is expected, stimulate worl
in the shipyards and help along very
materially the return to prosperity. =
