APPEALS COURT SAYS LABOR BOARD
 HAS NO STANDING
Pennsylvania Road Workers Cannot Get Back Pay Even
 Though Ordered.

Philadelphia, July 2o.-The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed equity suits brought by Sys- tenn Federation No. 80 of Shop Crafts men and the organization of clerks against the Pennsylvania Railroad for the enforcement of wage increases and working condition decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board, on the grounds that the charge of conspiracy made in the suits had not been proved against the carrier.
 The suit of the Shop Crafts Feder- ation was for a claim of $15,OOO,OOO back pay which, it asserted was due under a decision of the Railroad La bor Board. The sum was said to be based on the difference between the scale fixed in the national agreement made by the railroad administration during the war, and the scale paid by the company after the railroads were returned to private ownership.
 The Appellate Courts action con- frmed that of Judge Dickinson, who dismissed the suits in the Federal Dis trict Court several months ago on the ground that the courts had no jurisdic tion to enforce decisions of the Rail road Labor Board.
 They were not seeking enforcement of the Railroad Labor Boards decis ion. The organization asserted they were basing their action on charge that the company and it's officers were in a conspiracy to de>rive them of their civil and statutory rights as defined i'll the transportation act.
 The practical effect of a decision favorable to the employees organiza- tionsi however, would be to declare the labor boards decision enforce able, the courts opinion stated.
 This is an instance" the opinion said, where the machinery which the Congress set up did not work through to final decision and resultedt i'll no punishment except that of public opinion directed against the company by the announcement of the labor board that the company had refused to obey it's rulings, which were favor able to the employees.

A Labor injunction case, accOmpa- nied by features of a most extraorli- nary character, has recently been dis posed of in Massachusetts. liter the members of the Bakers Union in Springfield and Holyoke, Mass, had struck the bakeries of the Massa 2huetts Baking Company in those cities in April, 1923, they picketed the struck shops, carried banners, and D ycctted the corporation. An injunction was applied for by the corporation, through one of the ablest. attorneys who has handled injunction suits n the Bay State. Although picketing, banner carrying and the primary boycott were in force from May 1923, until tine spring of this year, when the strike was settled and a satisfactory agreement en- tered into, no temporary restraining or der was issued. This in itself Was re- markable in Massachusetts,, where in- functions to restrain p1cketing banner carrying and boycotting have Leen the oIdeI ol lhe udy III equllJ courts TOT number of yeats.
 More interest and unique, so far as the bakers strike is concerned, is the fact that no lawyer represented them in court, althought court hearings were held over a period of eleven months Instead of employing attorneys he strikers were represented by trade unionist, who had never studied law, and who, although an officer of his To- cal union, worked every day at his trade. This trade unionist, John F Gatelee, Business Agent of the Moving

1 Picture Operators Union, and Vice President of the Springfield Central Labor Council, succeeded in winning a brilliant and complete victory in type of injunction case which has practically without exception, been decided ad- versely to labor in previous cases in Massachusetts. And, not only this, but 1n addition to winning a legal victory, he guided the bakers during their strike so that this also was a complete sue cess.
 The very remarkable departure from previous methods in court representa- tion during an injunction case, was ac- companied by the preparation of an equally unique and exceptional state ment of labor's position" which it had been intended to place upon the judges bench immediately before the tempo rary injunction would have been is sued. As no preliminary restraining or der was handed down, this original and impressive statement which MT Gate lee had prepared was not given pub1i- city, until after the case had been fin ally decided in favor of labor.
 The details of this exce eptional ex- perience in dealing with the injunction problem, are of such importance that it has been decided to present a brief history of the case It is impossible, however, to do this in one short article. The amazing story will form the sub ject of several articles which are now in course of preparation

The Courts opinion is exactly what
 the striking shopmen have been saying all along. As for the Courts opinion that the Pennsylvania was punished by public opinion, that was no punishment at all, as the Pennsylvania has hide like that of a rhinOceros and public opinion didn't phase it in the least. II went right on fighting the shopmen despite the seedlings of the Labor Board. Labor men, however, know that The who laughs last laughs best and that in the end the Pennsylvania will regret its war on the shopmen.
 British labor realizes with American labor, that poverty-stricken farming population menaces the industrial worker. This is shown by comment in the annual report of the General Fed eration of Trade Unions of Great Bri- tain.
 Those who are compelled to study the causes of unemployment are purchasing power of the agricultural worker" says the report, continuing :: There IS an ever increasing disparity between the price of the goods he pro duces and the price of the goods and the services which he buys. It is said that the price of cereals has risen 20 Der cent. only, while the price of many things the agricultural workers huys or requires has risen by 100 per cent. Obviously the agricultural worker can not, in such circumstances, buy the quantities of textiles and other nlanu- factured commodities which he former ly purchased. Any real improvement in the position of the agricultural worker would react advantageously upon ether productive occupations"

Hot Bread Indigestible,
 Say Queensland Bakers,
 Who Win Change of Hours

ter bakers to supply hot bread leads to undue speeding up of work and that this competition was leading employers to seek a restoration of night baking, which has been prohibited in Queens land for nearly ten years.
 After Investigating the question of the health fulness of hot bread, T. w. McCawley, president of the Industrial arbitration court, decided not to prohi- bit sale of bread on the day it is made He held this was a matter for the Leg islature to act, on saying that the Leg islature may consider that the combined effect of considerations relative to pub lie health, economical production, the maintenance of day baking and the avoidance of speeding up, may justify prohibition of the sale of bread on the day of baking.
 Mir. McCauley, however, upheld the workers contention that 1t was desir- able to begin work at 8 o'clock in the morning, when most artisans in Queens land start work. He ordered that work i'll the bakeries should begin at 8 except on a day in which more than one days supply of bread is baked. He also ordered that the maximum work day on Sunday shall be seven hours and that the weekly number of work ing hours shall be reduced by one.

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., July 23.-In urg- ing change of working hours, union bakers of the state of Queensland, Australia recently declared that the change could be made if the delivery of bread on the day it was 1nanufac- tured was prohibited. This, it was con- tended, would be a move in the interest of public health, as it was asserted that hot bread is indigestible.
 The bakers were granted a change of hours, the award being made by the Court of Industrial Arbitration of Queensland on application of the Amalgamated Foodstuffs Union which sought, to have work in bakeries be- gin at 8 a. m instead of a. m. The employers opposed the change on the ground that hot bread for which there IS an increasing demand in Queensland, could not be delivered on the day 1t was baked if the workers began their daily toll at o'clock
 The workers argued that if the de- livery of bread on the day it was baked was prohibited, work could begin at 8 o'clock with advantage to the trade and to the public. They declared that hot bread, l. e., bread consumed on the day 1t is baked, not so easily digested as older bread, that efforts of the mas

Georgias state legislature, which condemned the proposed child labor amendment to the United States Con- stitution, has company
 The American Association of Flint and Lime Glass Manufacturers takes an inglorious position with the Geor- gia legislators in assailing the amend ment Both cameoufage their real req sons for fighting the amendment and both hypocritical1y pretend that their stand is in the interest of the child.
 This is the veriest bunk, which will deceive no one, not even the Georgia legislators and the glass manufacturers, limited as their intellests appear to be! What they both desire is the continued exploitation of children, though neither is frank and honest enough to declare it.
 The stand of the glass manufactur- CTS is particularly transparent and out rageous, as the glass industry has been notorious for its enslavement of child workers Years ago, the hideous ex- ploitation of childish glass makers was exposed and it took long, hard fight to force reforms. Apparently the glass manufacturers have learned nothing and they are still trying to turn back the hand of progress. Fortunately they will not succeed. Organized labor will see to that and with the progressive

 That the Pennsylvania railroad went scotfree despite its refusal to obey or ders of the United States Railroad La bor Board is pointed out in an opinion of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadelphia.
 The courts opinion was given in a suit brought by the shopmen's fedora ton and the clerks union against the Pennsylvania system to enforce wage increases and working condition deci- sions of the Railroad Labor Board.
 Judge Dickinson dismissed the suits on the ground that the courts had no to enforce decisions of the Labor Board. The workers appealed, saying they were not seeking enforce nent of the Boards decisions, but were oasing their action on a charge that he company had conspired to deprive hem of their civil and statutory lights" as defined in the Transporta ion Act. zl
 The practical effect of a decision fla vorab1e to the employees organization, however, would be to declare the La Dor Boards decision enforceable, the Court held.
