by Act.
By the Associated Press.


William Burns. convicted of violat-
ing the California syndicalism act,
fled in the Supreme Court today
brief in support of his efforts TO have
the act declared invalid when used
to punish membership in The l. w. w
He advised the court that after be-
ing discharged from employment in
a lumber camp in the Yosemite Ma
ttonal Park for attempting 10 per-
suade fellow workman to Join the
order. he was arrested. prosecuted
and convicted for violating the
syndicalism law when his wallet was
found containing a card showing that
he was a member Of the organization.
Recognizing the right of the State
to enforce the law in the national
park, Burns contended hat the act
was invalid because 1t established one
set of standards and provided punish
ments for certain acts when perform
ed by those who advocated industrial |
or political changes, but that similar
ac-s when committed by persons sup
porting the maintenance Of existing
conditions were not punished.
He insisted that the law was un-
constitutional because 1t punished him
for membership in the 1. w. w. in
dependent of what may have been his
intentions in joining the organization
and participating in its meetings.
