BOSSES UNABLE
TO RUSH BAR TO
CLOTH PICKETS
AffdaUits of Force
Too Indefinite

Hearing on the bill for an inJune-
tIon against the striking employees Of
the J. L. Taylor and Co., and the
international Tailoring company was
laid over by Judge Charles {, FoelI,
until this morning. The lawyers for
the clothing bosses wsoie blocked in
their effort to rush thru an InJunc-
tIon when William A. Guinea, attor-
ney for the AmaIsamated Clothing
Workers Union members, was upheld
In his charge that the affldavIts brot
In to support the bill for an InJunc-
tIcn were too indefinite.
The attorneys for the clothing man.
ufacturers are now scurrying around
securing afidavits in which the alb
surd charges of violence placed
against the strikers are stated in a
more specific form. M
Bill Is illegal.
Guinea insists that the bill filed
for an Injunction is invalid because,
contrary to law two separate concerns
are jointly asking an. injunction
against picketing in an Identical bill.
Judge Foell, much as he would like
to rule against the workers, may be
forced to decide that a new bill must
be drawn, which would necessitate
more delay.
The lawyers for the employers de-
clare that the injunction should be
granted in spite Of the recently pass
ed state anti-injunction law prohibit
ing the issuance Of injunctions for
peaceful picketing.
constltutionality Attacked.
Their claim is that the law is un-
constitutional. They declare that
Chief Justice Taft Of the United
States supreme court ruled similar
bill passed in Arizona unconstitution.
al on the grounds that it violated the
14th amendment to the federal con-
stitution.
This amendment states that mo
state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without due pro-
cess Of law, nor deny to any person
within its jurisdiction the equal pro-
lection OF the laws" It would not be
the first time that the constitution
has been twisted for use in the in
terests of the bosses if the anti-in-
junction law is thus declared uncon-
stitutional.
Attorney Guinea has reminded
Judge Foell of the importance of a
decision on the constitutionality of
the anti-injunction law, and it is thot
that briefs will be filed in arguments,
instead of a cursory oral agreement
before the court.

MASS. GOVERNOR
FIGHTS Street
CARMEN'S UNION
Strike Voted, Fuller
Would Initiate Cal

BOSTON, July 17.-Governor Alvin
7. Fuller Is living up to the bad opin-
ion the Massachusetts Federation of
Labor voiced Of him at It's annual con-
ventlon last summer. The convention,
held during the state eubernatorlal
campaign, branded Fuller as foe Of
union labor and cited his wartime ao-
tivlty In fighting a strike Of employees
In the Packard Motor Car assembling
plant Of Boston with which he was
connected as executive and heavy
stakeholder.
Today the employees of the Boston
elevated system seek an increase in
wages and Fuller issues statement
from the state house, censuring the
workers for their membership in an
outside" organization, meaning the
street Garments union of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and telling
them that they had good jobs at good
wages. Their wages, actually, are just
70 cents an hour-the men asking
an increase to 95 cents and the COM
pany calling for cut of seven cents
to IS cents an hour.
VIII Fight Union.
In an earlier statement the govern
or threatened that if the recent over
whelming vote for a strike were car
ried out he would do all he could to
prevent any striker from being re-em-
ployed.
At the same time the governor ad-
mitted that the men had the techni-
calities on their side In the immediate
issue on which the strike was voted.
The company had demanded change
in the arbitration machinery and the
men said they would strike If such
change were attempted. The meth
cd used for Ia years called for each
side appointing its own representa-
tive to an arbitration board of three,
the first two arbitrator to select a
third.
Foe of Labor.
The company's proposed change
called for less direct representation,
each side to select the other sides
representative from a list of Ave per-
sons nominated by that side. Under
this plan the Boston elevated system
would select the union representative
from five union nominees, and, the
men feared, the company would natur-
ally pick the weakest of the fve-the
one least desirable from the union
standpoint. The company at first said
it would stand pat for the change
but its latest word is that 1t will re-
consider it's decision. A few days
will tell the tale,
Meanwhile the judgement Of the
Federation on Alvin T. Fuller stands.
He is foe of union labor because he
opposes afiliation of the street car
workers with the general labor move
ment. And he thinks that more than
~ cents an hour is too much for an
elevated worker

Struggle With Right Wing.
This Industrial crisis comes on the
heels Of big struggle between the
right and left wings OF British labor
Several left papers have sprung up
lately. 1t is now reported that ]. H.
Thomas is bidding for Reynolds
Weekly and that John -Wheatley, for

him.
The capitalist papers are beginning
to link up the industrial crisis with
the alliance between the Russian and
British trade unions. This stuff, hoy
ever, has no terrors for the workers.
They will need all the assistance they
can get and no doubt, the Russian coal
miners will not forget their British
brothers when the big strike starts.

MAHON HOOTED
FROM ELEVATED
EMPLOYEES MEET

After forcing William d. Mahon,
president Of the international union
to leave the hall, members Of Local
30S Of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes, finally decided to accept the
terms of the Chicago Rapid Transit
company in face of the opposition Of
the faker Mahon to the the paltry In
crease of five cents an hour which
they demanded.
Mahon told them that the company
was justified in not granting the in
crease as the gross receipts did not
Justify raise at this time. He also
said that the acceptance of the terms
by the Surface Lines men created a
division in their ranks and made a
victory impossible.
These statements brought forth an
CRY protests. The men blamed the
officials for this division. II was
clear that they believed Mahon was
in cahoots with the traction magnates.
Mahon bitterly assailed the members
for showing opposition to his treacher-
GUS conduct and he left the platform.
He returned afterwards. The men are
very dissatisfied with the way their
leaders bungled the wage controversy.

To Act as Unit.
This follows the agreement between
all the building trades union made
about a month ago, in which all I'M
ions agreed to take common action
to enforce the unionization Of all
building projects In Chicago Altho
the bricklayers, plasterers, and some
others are working under the Lands
award, and the carpenters are not
affiliated with the Building Trades
Council, yet all agreed to act as a
unit in protection of the common in
terest.
The authorization given the presi-
dent of the Building Trades Council
was given in order to unity the diff
ferent crafts in the expected strike
action, as some Of the unions have
failed to keep IN touch with the coun-
Gil by reason of their delegates not
attending the meetings Of the coun-
ellis executive.

be injurious to the health Of the

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July IT.
"The Government is doing all that
can be done to prevent hard coal
strike" said secretary of labor,
James ]. Davis, today following a
three and one-half hour conference
with President Coolidge at White
Court, the summer White House.
Secretary Davis said that the situa-
ton was gone over thoroly but de-
clined to comment further. He stated
that he was sailing tomorrow for
England, to be away until August 20.
Secretary of commerce, Herbert
Hoover, long close student Of the
economics of the coal situation, will
be summoned to White Court next.
To him, In all probability, will be in
trusted the actual task of breaking
the strike, in the anthracite fields
should one take place.
Hoover and Davis have kept them
selves fully informed as to develop
ments at Atlantic City where the OPP
orators and, miners are deadlocked
over the identical differences that
failed of mediation in 1928.
At their disposal will be every pos
sible weapon of the federal machin-
cry. The president is determined
that If necessary he will do to the
miners what he did to the policemen
in Boston in 1919.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July 17-In
a heated discussion over wage in
creases, representatives of the miners
participating in the conference be-
tween anthracite coal operators and
miners today called on the operators
to submit figures showing "the sal
aries paid to coal company officials,
directors and high-priced lawyers"
The operators rejected the PROPOSE
ton, according to an official Of the
Mine Workers Union, declaring the
request to be irrelevant to the pur-
poses of the joint conference"
