MUST BE OBSERVED

Detroit, Mich.-Circuit Court Judge
Brennan ruled that a worker must
exhaust every law provided by his
union before he can seek legal re-
dress for an alleged wrong.
The decision is in line with innum-
cradle court rulings.
The court took this position in the
case of business representative of
the Operating Engineers Union who
was dismissed from his position. In
stead of carrying his case to the ex-
ecutive board of the international un-
ion, he rushed into the equity court
and asked for an injunction.

PARIS, Nov. 14-Edouard Her riot, ex premier of France, has re- turned from a lecture tour in Gen. tral Europe enthusiastic over the plan advanced by Aristide Briand to organize the United States of Eu- rope
 Easing his impressions particular ly upon his visits to Germany M. Herriot expressed his conviction that no really insurmountable ob- iections have come to combat the formation of an European fedora tion and that he is not alarmed over any idea that federation would result in a struggle between America and Europe.
 He argued that the Pan-Ameri- can conference has not prevented the republics of South America from collaborating with the League of Nations at Geneva and that Pan Americanism interferes neither with the United States nor the League. He added:

 M. Herriot said he found Holland, Belgium and Czechoslovakia par ticularly interested in the plan be- cause it was regarded as an im- portant advance for the consolida- tion of peace.
 As first step, M. Herriot favors the creation of permanent cen- tral organization which would study all economic questions that possess a vital interest for European na- tions, such matters as river naviga- tion, international traffic regula- tions, aviation and radio broadcast ing. He also favors single Eu- ropean post office system which was advocated so earnestly by the late Foreign Minister of Germany, Gus tav Stresemann.
