The anomalous position OF the WASH
ington resident who, although citizen,
is denied voice in the governmental
affairs of his community, has come to
the fore IN connection with the taking
of the census.
Census officials took occasion today
to reassure Washington residents that
citizen who maintains legal residence
in one of the States suffers no abridge-
ment of the voting privilege in that
State merely because he is enumerated
as being a resident of Washington.
It was said that there have Deen a
few instances of persons declining tc
make the returns for fear that in being
recorded as residents in the dis
franchised District of Columbia they
would forfeit the right to vote back

LABOR IS DECLARED
UNITED ON PARKER
Green, First Hearing Witness,
Testifies on Opposition
to Judge.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
william Green, president OF the
American Federation of Labor. told
Senate judiciary subcommittee today
that all organized labor is united in
opposition to confirmation of Judge
John j. Parker of North Carolina as an
associate justice of the Supreme Court.
Green was the first witness at hear
ings of those opposed to the confirma-
ton of Judge Parker, who was named
by President Hoover to succeed the late
Justice Sanford.
Before Green testified, Chairman
Overman Of the judiciary subcommittee
considering the nomination introduced
letter from Gov. Gardner of North
Carolina and other North Carolinians
indorsing Judge Parker.
Righteousness Praised.
"I have never known any man."
wrote Gov. Gardner. who possessed
a higher or finer sense of righteous
ness and justice than Judge Parker
In my opinion, Judge Parker
enjoys the confidence and esteem of
an overwhelming majority of the peo-
pie of this State, irrespective of party
affiliations"
There is not, in my judgment, the
slightest basis in reality for the fear
expressed by one group of our citizens
that he would not, as a judge of the
Supreme Court be absolutely fair and
impartial in any case of controversy
which might arise"
Mr.. Green said labor was opposed
to Parker because of his decision up
holding an injunction restraining the
United Mine Workers from soliciting
membership in the Red Jacket Coal
d Coke Co. in West Virginia.
Attacks Coal Decision.
Reading from a letter he had ad-
dressed to members of the committee,
Mr.. Green said the injunction approved
by Judge Parker, lin effect reduced the
workers employed by these numerous
coal companies represented in the Red
Jacket Consolidated Coal and Coke Co.

dustrial servitude."
Trade union representatives were
were denied the right to talk to them
and to persuade them peacefully to
join trade union" he continued. "They
could not be asked to join a union and
in that way exercise the right of COL
lective action comparable to the exer-
else of the right to organize exercised
by those corporations which employed
them"
Senator Borah. Republican. Idaho,
questioned whether the Parker decision
was not in accordance with a decision
rendered by the late Chief Justice Taft.
Green disagreed. But Borah indicated
belief that it did concur.
81 am not passing judgment on the
Parker decision" Borah added.
Senator Overman also introduced let
tiers indorsing Parker from Plummer
Stewart of Charlotte, former law part
ner of the nominee, and from George
Roundtree of Wilmington, N. c.
Overman told Green he had letters
stating that 'labor's real protest is
against the Supreme Courts yellow dog
contract decision rather than against
Parker as an individual"
Tells Injunction Stand.
1--WE won't want to be placed in that
light" replied Green. I'VE believe
Judge Parker represents the views ex-
pressed in the Supreme Court decision.

mechanism OI the invention.
The metal disc was a special re-
ceiver for the deaf. transmitting its
inaudible vibrations to the wood.
BY biting the other end Of the stick
lightly the listeners could hear, and
TO two Of the auditors. at least, the
music sounded a. perfect as when
audible to the ear.
Professor Bedell said he perfected
the device in hope that it will be
useful for the deaf in listening to
talkies and radio. The receiver
would be placed on the backs Of
seats and the straw-like sticks would
cost but a trifle. They are ordinary
wood.
The sound vibrations pass direct
~ to the auditory nerves through
the bones No ear drums are need
ed. Professor Bedell said that only
destruction Of the auditory nerves
prevents hearing by the teeth meth
Cd. He adopted it after consulta-
ton with members by the medical
faculty at Johns Hopkins. who said
that about two-thirds Of the deaf
could hear by any other single
method.
The secret Of the new receiver Is
the power Of its vibrations. The
strokes are shorter than those IN
sound receivers. but they hit hard
er. The difference Is much lie
the famous six inches that some Of
Jack Dempsey's knockout punches
travelled as compared with the full
arm swings Of lesser fighters. The
short. hard sound punch transfer,

carrying quality. without distortins
the sound.
The instrument Is made To plug ir
