ALBANIAN HERO
NAMED KING OF
new MONARCHY
Dreams of Ahmed Zogu
Come True With Action
of Assembly.

BIZ United Press
TIRANA, Albania, Aug. 90
Ahmed zogu, the man who would
be king, has reached his goal.
The national assembly decided to
appoint committee today to frame
and report out a special urgency"
bill changing the republic to a
monarchy ara naming Zogu king.
1t is expected the bill will be passed
and Zogu proclaimed before the end
Of the year.
The dream, IF I were king" was
with zogu years ago when as a
youth of less than II, he sighed over
the unsettled condition of his coun-
try. Always an ardent patriot, he
entered, politics then. He carved
mis- career with his sword. AS a SOL
der of fortune he was a colonel
in the Austrian army at 10. At "a
he was premier Of his country. Now
at SO, he is about to be king.
Zoguy is a handsome man, the
idol of his people and physically the
typical ideal of a king. His hair Is
brown and his eyes blue. He wears
a tiny, close-cropped mustache and
his sloping eyebrows arch when he
expresses authority in a way that
makes men obey.
zogu is typical oriental ruler
imperious, of a powerful personality,
energetic and capable of quick de-
cisions. He is the hero Of many
native songs and ballads that re-
count his deeds and proves lin bat d
tie. In keeping with that charac-
ter he will take the name of King
Scanderberg III-naming himself
after one of the most romantic fig
ures of European history. Scander-
berg, THE Dragon of Albania, r"
freed his people from the Turks in
the fifteenth century and was one
of the bulwarks of Christianity IL
the east.

A New Labor Charter

The inquiry OF the Senate Judiciary Committee
into the abuse OF injunctons by Federal judges has
borne fruit in the introduction of bill that is a
veritabe charter of freedom for organized workers.
1t is designed to put al end to the growing prac-
tce Of the Federal bench in intervening in labor dis
putes at the behest of employers, and to protect
workers in the enjoyment of their constitutional lib
critics.
The original Shipstead anti-njunction bill stated
simply that equity should the right to pro-
tect only tangible property through injunctions,
which it was thought would eliminate most labor
writs.
This, however, was found to be inadequate and
new and detailed bill was prepared by Senators Nor
ris, Blaine and Walsh of Massachusetts.
The bill starts out with declaration of policy that
goes far beyond anything Congress heretofore has
considered This sets forth that workers should have
the right employers to organize, that they
should be able bargain collectively without coer
cion restraint and select representatives of their
own choosing
The bill infinitely describes the conditions under
which injunctions may may not be issued, and the
procedure courts must follow.
yellow dog" contracts are not to be enforceable
through injunctions Workers may give assistance to
others in labor disputes without hindrance They
not be enjotned from stopping work, singly or in
concert or from giving publicity to facts in labor
dispute through advertising, speaking or patrolling
Workers not be stopped by equity court
from meeting peaceably to organize promote their
interests in labor dispute where there is neither
fraud nor violence Restraining orders shall not be
issued charging conspiracy for doing the things
enumerated.
Union members and officers are not responsible for
acts of others unless they participate, authorize,
or ratify the acts.
Injunctions snail be issued only in open court on
testimony Of witnesses Substantial and irreparable
injury must be shown, there must be adequate
remedy at law and police officers must be unwilling
unable to protect property
Temporary lnjunctions may be issued in emer-
gencies but only for five days. The right of appeal
to higher court is guaranteed. Indirect contempt
may be punished only by jury trial
Congress will have no time to consider the meas
ure at this session, but the bill will remain alive for
action in December 1t will furnish the basis for the
fight of the progressives to curb judges, which is
labors main objective at present

Church Union In Sight

Sentiment in favor of union of important
Protestant denominations seems to be growing.
The Methodist Episcopal General Conference, at
its meeting in Kansas City, voted overwhelmingly
to open nego cations for a merger with the 2resby-
terians and Congregatonalsts.
The Presbyterian General Assembly will consider
the proposal at its meeting There have been similar
discussions among other denominations.
A referendum conducted by the Methodist church
showed that out of 021 cergymen replying, 1916 per
cent were in favor of the union.
The movement is probably the most significant
development in religion in recent years. 1t is not
to be expected that it will succeed without pro-
tracted discussion that questions of creed and
dogma will not intrude themselves, but the trend is
unmistakable.
1t is cheering to witness the passing of the spirit
of rivalry and to find church leaders less nsisent on
formulas. The advantages of a union are manifest,
particularly for sparsely settled communities
In place of many struggling churches with weak
congregations and underpaid pastors, we may have
a few vigorous churches able to exert genuine Spr-
itual influence
