ASSAILS JONES LAW

Cumberland, Md. (ILNS) - The
Volstead act and the Jones law were
condemned at the 25th annual con-
vention of the Maryland State and
District of Columbia Federation of
Labor held here. A resolution de-
scribes the Jones law, which provides
for drastic punishment of violators
of the Volstead act, as "an act of
violence upon the law of nature and
common sense; an assault upon free
government which defeats temper
ance and moderation in the use of
alcohol"
Other resolutions passed were: Re-
questing President William Green, of
the American Federation of Labor, to
designate permanent representative
of the American Federation of Labor
in the state of Maryland and District
of Columbia; indorsing old age pen
sions and urging enactment of law
in Maryland to that effect covering
the entire state; urging congress to
provide sufficient revenue to maintain
the naval strength of the United
States as agreed by the Washington
treaty of 1922; condemning the action
Of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, for
having withdrawn it's $3,000,000

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-After
a gallant fight that has brought the
whole trade union movement into
action and in which scores of labor
witnesses have journeyed long dis

down all requests of VIGIL, the big

Secretary E. N. Nockels, of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, here

VIGIL has applied for full-time op-
Grafton on a cleared channel, with
$4,000 watts. 1t filed application also
for experimental work. It's entire
program of development was swept
down before the broadside of denial
that came from the commission in its
decision. The finding, as foreshadow-
ed, was that it was not in the public
interest to grant the requests made
by the one labor station in the entire
United States.

President Berry Takes Direct Issue With Horton
in Singing Letter, Which Assails Governors S
Course in Strike Holds Governor Responsible
For Trouble Anticipated in Textile Town.

Knoxville, Tenn. ILNS)-In a let
ter to Gov. Henry II. Horton, taking
the governor severely to task for his
attitude and actions in the Elizabeth
ton textile strike, George II. Berry
president of the International Print
ing -Pressmen and Assistants Union
charges that the state of Tennessee
is in effect acting as strike-b break
ing agency at Elizabethton, and that
the governor sent the troops to "in-
timidate and coerce" citizens of the
town and county
Taking direct issue with statements
made by the governor, Mr.. Berry also
charges that the sending of troops
to Elizabethton is endangering life
and property instead of preserving it..
To prove his assertion, Mr.. Berry
cites the peaceful conditions in
Elizabethton before the troops were
sent as contrasted with the present
bitter state of feeling in the com
munity.
Mr.. Berry also charges that the
governor has violated the state con-
stitution by sending troops to Eliz-
abethton, and refers to a statement
made by the executive as purely
unadulterated twaddle" In ending his
letter, Mr.. Berry says that he antici-
pated the presence of the troops will
lead to trouble and possible fatalities,
which he charges the governor will be
chiefly responsible for.
Governors Course disastrous"
Mr.. Berry's letter in part follows:

critical of the chief executive of our
state, but your attitude with refer
ence to the Elizabethton situation
makes it necessary for me to very
positively disagree with the course
you are pursuing, because it is erron-

reference to the sending of additional

sumed that you sent additional

OF an understanding arrived at as
between you and the head of the

undoubtedly advised that they propos-
ed to open the plants and start a
fight instead of pursuing a concilia-
tory attitude.
Nv. Since you sent additional
troops to Elizabethton, they have act
ed as escorts, they have become the

been miainformed and misIed, and
who have been, in part, intimidated

for the Bemberg Glanzstoff Corpora

thousand revolving East Tennesseeans

these additional troops which you
sent have gone into the highways and

would 50 many cattle. This is a fine
