Mr.. Marcy. who is in Pasadena.
Calf, is one of the oldest chiefs in
the Armour organization in point of
service and one of the most widely
known grain men in America.
The Armour Grain Co. recently was
directed to pay approximately $1,000
900 to the defunct grain marketing
company by an arbitrator who heard
charges that records had been falsi-
fed and grain samples changed at the
time of the formation of the $20.000.-
900 cooperative project. in which the
Armour concern held 4S per cent of
the stock.
After payment of the debts OF the
defunct company, the remainder was
to be divided among the concerns in

baum Brothers and the RoSenbaum

APPEAL BY NEGRO
BEFORE HIGH COURT
Involves States Right to Exclude
Colored Families From Restrict
ed White Communities.
Copyright by Harris & Ewing.
By the Associated Press.

A States right to legislate against
negroes setting up homes IN restricted
white residential sections was argued
yesterday in the Supreme Court.
The case came from Louisiana on an
appeal by Ben Harmon, a New
Orleans negro, who had been pre-
vented under State and city statutes
from converting his home into a two
family fiat for negro families without
first obtaining the consent of ma
jority of the white persons who reside
in the community.
Harmon's counsel drew an analogy
between the Louisiana segregation
laws and those of Louisville, Ken
tuclSy, which, the attorney said, had
been held unconstitutional previously
by the court. Harmon contended that
under this decision the court was COM
.nitted to the proposition that States
and municipalities cannot control use
of property purely on racial grounds.
Under questioning by the court,
counsel defending the segregation
laws admitted that it was virtually
impossible to make any distinction be-
tween the Louisville and New Orleans
cases, but told the court changing
times necessitated a new or modified
Interpretation Of the problem.
The race problem, counsel insisted,
was becoming more serious and due
to Northern migration of the negro.
a modified position was necessary for
the North equally with the South.

CAUTION URGED
On Trade Unions in Start
ing Banks

Los Angeles-The indiscriminate
establishment of labor banks does not
impress the A. F. of L. executive
council which raises a warning note
against this practice in its annual
report to the A. F. of L. convention.
"In our judgment" the report
states, "the time has come to stop
expansion in the field of labor bank
ing until experience with those labor
banks already organized shall have
been critically studied and evaluated.
1t is unwise to experiment further
until we know exactly what policies
are safe and dependable"
Attention is called to the possible
manipulation of banks through holding
companies and the payment of large
commissions to these companies for
their services.
where holding companies are or
ganized the ownership of stock of the
bank becomes secondary to the stock
of the holding company" the council
says. Subsidiary organizations have
been used to make possible fnan-
cial policies prohibited by sound bank
ing rules.
Since the recent development in
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers' financial activities, more and
more attention is being directed to
the manner in which labor banks are
being financed and conducted. Each
failure, indeed each difficulty in which
a labor bank is placed, subjects the
remaining labor banks to careful
scrutiny of their policies and activ-
tiles"

STILL. TONGUES
Must Be Kept By Striking
Movie Men

Baltimore-Moving picture oper-
ators are in the fifth week of wage
strike.
Their wage demand, which ranges
from So cents to 81 week, is not the
reason for the fight, according to the
unionists, who claim that destruction
of neighborhood Il eatres is the COM
bine's objective.
An injunction prohibits the strikers
from mentioning the names of hostile
theatres. They can not ask for the
removal of Harry Custer, leading op-
ponent of the picture operators and
who was appointed by Governor
Ritchie as member of the state
board for examining applicants for
positions as moving picture operators.
"The smaller theatre owners are
deluded into the belief that they are
fighting for themselves, whereas they
are supporting league that eventu-
ally will weed out neighborhood
houses and establish the chain the
atre," says the Baltimore Federation
ist, published by the Baltimore FEEDER
alton of Labor.

Victory Of Illinois Miners
Furnishes Basis For National
Settlement Of Long Lockout

Workers of America. If they fail to
agree, they are empowered to select
a fifth man as arbitrator.
How Miners Won
The two great determining factors
in forcing settlement satisfactory to
the coal miners undoubtedly were the
perfect organization that the miners
have in this state and the policy pur-
sued of signing up with all operators
willing to accept the terms of the
union. A large number of mines
were in operation under union condi-
tions when the final big settlement
came. The strain from this whiting
process finally became too much for
the big operators, banded together to
break the union, and they were forced
to capitulate.

help to bring about amicable settle
ments. No definite code of industrial
