Decision Of U. S. Judge
May End Judicial Tyranny
In Strikes, Olander Says

charged with law violation is placed
under injunction and deprived of
jury trial by being cited for contempt
of court. He is then punished for
violating the injunction. This pro-
cedure the judge holds to be unconsti-
tutional, and he is right.
Same Course Followed i'm Strikes
ut is exactly the procedure followed
in injunction cases against strikers
during industrial disputes. They are
frequently sent to jail by the equity
court without the intervention of
jury, although the contempt Of which
they were charged consisted of alleged
acts for which they could not be tried
in the law court without jury.
''If the Woodrough decision is
upheld" continues Mr.. Olander,
its reasoning must certainly be
applied TO labor injunctiOns, un-
less the courts take the utterly
ridiculous position that a boot
logger, known to be professional
criminal, has greater rights under
the Constitution than has the
wOrkingman who is seeking to
bring about improved working and
living conditions.
IF | understand the Woodrough de-
cision right, it holds, in substance,
that what the law declares to be a
crime must be punished by law as
crime and not in equity as contempt
of court.
Decision Upholds Rights of People
''0r, to put it in another way,
crime can not be changed into con-
tempt of court merely by the issuance
of an injunction. In plain language,
this means simply that the Constitu-
tion does not sanction judicial Jug
Cling with the rights of the people.

progress of this case"

Washington, d. C.-Abolition of
child labor, if necessary through adop-
tion of federal constitutional amend
ment, support of organized labor and
better wages and working conditions
for the greater security of workers
now and in their old age, was urged
by the Rev. William A. Bolger of the
University of Notre Dame, Ind, in an
address before the annual convention
of the National Council of Catholic
Women here.
Father Bolger surprised many of
the delegates to the conference by his
outspoken advocacy of national child
labor law, in the absence of state
legislation for the adequate protec-
tion of children.
Pleads for Children
"Children have right to live like
children and grow up healthy men and
women" he said. "What are the labor
laws of your states Find out, if you
do not know, and find out the chances
of improvement if the present laws
are not satisfactory. Do not be afraid
to speak out about this. There is no
reason to be scared even of national
child labor law. If the welfare of
children requires federal law, then
we must have one, and if an amend
ment to the Constitution is required
before we can have national child
labor law, then we must amend the
Constitution.

church left its members free to form
their own opinions, the church taking

Organization Drive Planned
In Needle Trade Centers
Health Center Nearly Wrecked, Unemployment Fund
Gone, Millions Squandered by Communist Misman-
agement, but Union Saved, Executive Board Reports
By International Labor News Service

BY International Labor News Service.
Boston-"The union has been saved,
but at the cost of some of the gains
of the last decade; on the ruins the
trade union structure is now being
rebuilt"
This was the spirit behind the ses-
sion of the general executive board
of the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union just held in this city.
Since 1925 the fight has been on.
The first year the Communist commits
sars, in control of New York, Boston,
Chicago, and other garment centers,
wrecked every union function they
could. The second year was consumed
in throwing them out. From now on
reconstruction must begin, was the
summary made by Morris Sigman,
president of the international.
Worst Stage Passed
Julius Hochman, vice president in
charge of the New York joint board,
where the struggle was the fercest,
views the situation as past its worst
stage. He said: "The Communists
are played out, and it is waste of
time to bother with them any longer.
They can do us no more harm Our
business now is to destroy the wormy,
scabby shops in our industry, and to
keep up union conditions"
Union drives were decided upon in
all the garment centers. At the same
time an appeal was sent out to needle
workers not to heed the calls to attend
Communist mob meetings" such as
that recently held in New York in
which 5000 miscellaneous workers
and Communists held a protest"
meeting addressed by the expelled
leaders of the workers and cloak max
ers' joint boards.
Health Center Menaced
The most recent union achievement
to be menaced as the result of the in
ternal warfare is the Union Health
Center. An SOS for aid has been
sent out. Enjoying an international
reputation as pioneer in the field
of workers health and hygiene, the
Health Center, with it's dental, X-ray
and medical departments, faces ex-
tinction. The general executive board
approved plan to finance the insti-
tuition with a loan of $25, 1000 until the
! locals can underwrite the institution
as before.
The Health Center has been in ex-
istence IL years. 1t has served $4,000
workers with medical advice and
treatment, health examinations and
dental work, at cost.

he himself lectured them from the
bench.

Duddelston, Muncie, administrator of
the estate of George Duddelston, in

Jackson to appoint a successor to
Dearth, pending decision on the i'm

Attorney Francis A. Shaw, deputy
prosecutor, counsel for the Muncie
Municipal League and former presi-
dent of the Muncie Bar Association,
testified to his presence in Dearth's
court when the newsboys were
marched in two by two and assem-
bled before the bench for reprimand.
Their papers had been taken from
them previously.
Shaw was for twenty-five years a
court reporter He had been trying
a case and Judge Dearth asked him
to remain and hear what occurred.
He took scratch pad and jotted

Ogle, Shaw declared.
Dearth then told the boys and
others present according to Shaw,
what an honest, hard working jurist
he was and pointed out that he had
handled 1000 cases. Quoting from
the article in the Muncie Post Demo
crat which blamed a murder on
himself and Mayor Hampton, be-
cause of lack Of law enforcement,
the judge continued according to the
Shaw notes:
''I want to take this matter up
with the Muncie Bar Association. If
I am dishonest they can have me
impeached. I am for law enforce
ment."

Salwasser drew from the witness
the fact that Dearth appeared before
the grand jury several times and
that he had not at all times been
sent for.

present case, former deputy prosecu-
tor, one time I<lan candidateN for
Attorney General of Indiana against
Arthur L. Gilliom, and attorney for
Alpha Holiday, with the grand
jury, was gone into.
Both Jester and Mrs. Hazel Car
penter, the following witness, testi-
fed that the jury did not want Ry-
man to handle the Holiday case as
he was an interested person.
Jester introduced a letter written
by the jury to Dearth asking for a
special prosecutor.
Dearth refused the request Of the
grand jury, it was alleged by both
witnesses, and dismissed them, al
though they were anxious to sit and
hear the case if someone other than
Ryman would prosecute it.

a group of boys were playing mar

up and a man with a raincoat on
stepped from the car and told him

that he would not hurt him.
Objections Overruled
Objections of Dearth counsel to
questions as to what the officer had
told the boys were overruled.
The boy then told of being taken
to the courthouse where he and
other boys were lined up in twos
and marched into the courtroom.
McKesson introduced a note writ
ten by Captain Ertel of the police
force to the boys father in which he
told the parent that it was not the
boys fault that he was not bringing
money home for the papers he had
purchased, because they had been
taken from him on the courts order.
Senator Edward O'Rourke, Ft.

showed that Dearth is alleged to

he did not ask for permission to

EAT No SWEETS If

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts to Get Rid Of
Toxic Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of
age, sex, color or rank. If not the
most dangerous of human affections,
it is one of the most painful. Those
subject to rheumatism should eat
no sweets for awhile, dress as warm
~ as possible, avoid any undue ex-
posure and above all, drink lots of
pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric
acid or body waste matter, and is
often generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t Is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
poison. from the blood and cast it out
in the urine; the pores of the skin
are also means of freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work; they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
toxic acid, which keeps accumulat.
ing and circulating through the sys-
nom, eventually settling in the joints
kd muscles, causing stiffness, sore
ness and pain, called rheumatism.
+ At the first twings of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table,
spoonful in a glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morn
ing for a week. This is halpful to
neutralize acidity. remove waste and
stimulate the kidneys, thus helping
to rid the blood of these rheumatic
poisons. =
