Sheriff Brazenly Describes
Casing Of Crowd Watching
Arrest of Strike Pickets

they were given hearing and fined
$40 each for unlawful assemblage and
disorderly conduct. This sentence
was appealed also.
Among those arrested in both
round-ups was the young girl organ
izer, Josephine Kaczor. After being
arrested at noon and released, she
walked right back on the picket line
and was caught in the evening round
up. When taken to Easton in the
evening police insisted upon finger
printing and photographing her for
the rogue's gallery despite the pro-
tests of the unions attorney.
At the crowded Jackson day dinner
held at the Penn A. C. Club in Phila-
delphia group of Nazareth strikers
marched in and insisted upon hand

sage protested against the actions of
the Nazareth officials. The county
where the strike is in progress is the
only one in the state that is entirely
controlled by the democratic party at
the present time. State democratic
officials promised the girls from Naz-
areth that they would give the matter

groups, which include manufacturing
metalliferous mining, quarrying, pub
lie utilities, Wholesale trade, hotels,
and canning and preserving, had few

FIVE-DAY WEEK
Is Success in 68 Per Cent
of Plants, Survey Shows

New York City (ILNS)-Of 270
manufacturing establishments in the
United States which operate on a
five-day week basis, 68 per cent find
the output the same or higher, ac-
cording to survey made by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board, an
employers organization. The figures
are: Ga per cent, output substantially
reduced; 25.4 per cent, output pro-
portiionately less; 40 per cent, no
change; 1872 per cent, increased out
put.
The 270 plants included in the sur
vey employ 218,000 workers. Leaving
out the plants of the Ford Motor
Company, they average 155 employees.
1t was found that non-continuous
process industries favor the short
week. Garment industries, printing
and lithographiing have widely adopt
ed it. In many cases, though, the five
day week is not all it seems to be,
as working hours have been rear
ranged so that the total labor period
is little less than for a full week
The survey neither approves nor
condemns the short week. 1t is held
that it is not suitable for all opera
tions; that it has distinct advantages
for others, and that it all depends on
individual circumstances.

BAY STAT LABOR
FOR COMPENSATION

Boston, Mass. (ILNS)-A state
fund for workmen's compensation in
surance, such as New York, Ohio and
other states with liberal workmen's
compensation laws now have, would
be provided under the terms of
measure filed with the clerk of the
tives by Representative Thomas H.
Carr, of Boston, for the Massachu-
setts State Federation of Labor.
The measure, which bears the sig
nature of Martin T. Joyce as legisla-
tive agent, also would provide an in
crease in maximum disability benefits
from $18 per week to $21 per week,
an increase in death benefits to a
maximum of $1,000, and further hos
pital and medical services and arti-
fetal appliances necessary in certain
cases of permanent injury.
"The BILL" Mr.. Carr said, "will save
the commonwealth of Massachusetts
100000 year which is now neces-
sary to maintain the present indus
trial accident board.
"The workmen's compensation bill
has, since its inception, been subject
to an influx Of amendments each leg
islative year. am confident that if
this bill is accepted by the legisla-
ture it will be remedial in it's nature
and will be saving both to employer
and employe. 1t will eventually give
to the workman that to which he is
entitled-a fair compensation COM
mensurate with the nature of his in
jury" . .f

An Oklahoma City Minister
Isn't Afraid to Tell "Open
Shoppers" Where to Get Off

Oklahoma City, Okla. (ILNS)-La-
Dor unionists and liberals of this city
are pointing with pride" to local
minister, Rev. Homer Lewis Shelter,
of the First Unitarian Church, whose
clashes with the open-shoppers in the
Southwest have won their unqualified
admiration.
Shelter recently preached a sermon
entitled "The Blood on Coal" based on
an investigation he made of the recent
disaster at McAlester, Okla, in which
81 men lost their lives. The minister
spent week at McAlester, where he
talked to miners, operators, public
officials, and other citizens, and even
went down a mine and loaded a car
of coal.
The sum of his interviews led him
to recommend:
/. Laws compelling installation of
safety devices, and the rock busting
of dangerous mines.
2. Amendment of the state consti-
tuition to permit workmens compen-
sation awards in death cases. CAL
though large payments for total disa-
bility are permitted, the state
strangely compels damage suits in
death cases.
3. Better protection, including pro-
lection for the Inspector who recon-
mends safety installations when the
operator does not want to spend the
money.
4. Reorganization of the miners
union.
On the latter point, Shelter laid
much stress. He had never lived in
mining field, and the ex-union miners
with whom he talked at McAlester
we've probably the first he had ever
seen, but he caught their arguments
at once.
Safety conditions, despite all the
laws and inspection, will not materi-
ally improve as long as there is no
pit committee to demand them. Min
ers with whom | talked told of shot
firing when men were at work, of rock
falls being ignored, of poorly insulat-
ed electric cables, and unprotected
wiring on cutting machines. Yet they
could not complain to the boss about

NEW STEEL COMBINE
WINS WELD PROCESS

New York.-The new $35O,OO0, 900
steel merger, built around the Repub-
lie Iron and Steel Company, won con-
troll of the revolutionary Johnston
process for electric welding of steel
tubing in Federal District Judge Gal
ston's court.
The effect of the decision will be
widely felt outside the steel industry.
as the process is used for the manu-
facture of tubing for the automotive,
furniture and many other industries.
Electric conduit tubing is an impor-
tant product. The patents involved
cover the method and apparatus which
permits the electric welding of the
tube at a speed of 65 to $50 feet a
minute, against an average of about
IL feet by older processes.

Nazareth, Pa. (ILNS) - Sheriff
John j. Snyder, of Northampton
county, Pennsylvania, told in court
how he had fired tear gas at crowd
of peaceful spectators with a pistol
of the very same type that Sheriff
Adkins, of Marion, N. c., used when
he provoked the bloody massacre at
the gates of the Baldwin mill. Sher-
iff Snyder, with the same calm that
characterized the North Carolinian,
explained that while he was arrest
ing seven young pickets at the Krae
mer full fashioned mill in this town
for the "crime" of picketing group
of townspeople gathered on the oppo
site side of the street to watch the
roundup. The sheriff told the specta
tors to disperse because he didn't
like to be watched while arresting
strikers. The Nazarenes wanted to
see the sights and moved to vacant
lot back of them, whose owner in
vited them to use his place as a
grandstand. Angered at this, Sher-
iff Snyder shot tear gas at the crowd
and forced it to. move on.
Twenty-six pickets in all were thus
arrested in one day in Nazareth,
where full fashioned workers are re-
sisting a "yellow dog contract" The
newly elected burgess, Joseph Full
mer, announced that only two pickets
would be permitted at the mill. The
strikers said that they considered this
order to be an invasion of their con-
stitutional rights and went out on
the line as usual The burgess ar
rested II girls and two lads. This
group was charged with disorderly
conduct and were fined $40 each. An
appeal was taken. In the evening
Sheriff Snyder came along and ar
rested seven more and threw his tear
gas bombs into the bargain. The
group arrested at night were thrown
into the smelly Northampton county
Jail until the next afternoon, when

the Kraemer employees to join the
out or strike in the plant. These facts
were clearly established in the evi-
dence brought out in the hearings on
the injunction and are not disputed.
The aim of the hosiery workers
organization in seeking to hold meet
ings in Nazareth and other points in
Northampton county was to arouse
widespread public sentiment against
the hiring of the A. R. Macdonald
detective agency to install these "yel-
low dog" papers and to develop an
understanding of the important civic
issues involved in the application of
the yellow dog" device as a means
of preventing organization of wage
ear1ers. This procedure is now ruled
out as being just as unlawful as the
means used by the West Virginia
miners.
The amazing implications of this
decision have not been lost on labor
leaders here who plant a statewide
campaign on this issue 1t is pointed
out that / will be possible in a few
years, without doubt, if the Stewart
decision stands, to make it legally
impossible to agitate for minority
political party or an unpopular relig-
ious sect in this commonwealth,
founded by William Penn to conse-
crate the most elevated principles of
human liberty in matters of consci-
ence.
One offshoot of this injunction mat
ter is the filing of perjury charges
against Calvin Hartzell. Kraemer mill
rperintendent, who admitted on the
witness stand that he had signed false
affidavits which were used to secure
the preliminary restraining order
from Judge Stewart. Another angle
to the situation is the fart that public
sentiment has swung so completely
over to the side of the strikers that
some 25 broad silk weavers in another
mill have come out on strike and seek
to join the United Textile Workers
Union.

Hosiery Workers Enjoined
In Sweeping Decision Seen
AS Big Danger to Union Labor

Easton, Pa. (ILNS) = Freeborn
American citizens may not agitate
against the use of the yellow dog
contract" by particular manufac-
turer. This, in the opinion of labor
unionists here, is the meaning of the
perpetual injunction handed down by
Judge r. G. Stewart, of Northampton
county, against Organizers Louis F.
Budenz and Earl White and the mem
bers of the Reading Branch of the
American Federation of Full Fashion
ed Hosiery Workers. The decision
makes permanent a temporary injunc-
tion granted on October g. The in
junction seeks to prevent the parties
named from in any way attempting
to assist in the organization of work
ers in the Kraemer full fashioned mill
of Nazareth, Pa, where some two
hundred odd workers are on strike
against the use of the yellow dog"
contract.
The judge in making his decision
restraining the organizers from va
rious organization activities speci-
fically condemned the campaign of
the union to create public sentiment
in Nazareth and Northampton county
against the use of the yellow dog"
document by the Kraemer Company.
Apparently it is permissible in
Judge Stewards jurisdiction to de-
nounce the yellow dog" document as
a shoddy device, which the courts, to
their shame, uphold, but this denunci-
alton must be in such general and
academic terms that it cannot be con-
strued to apply to actual use of such
document by particular firm. The
ruling by Judge Stewart, it is pointed
out, would mean that if some member
of the public would speak vigorously
against the yellow dog" document,
and, if as a result, some worker at
the Kraemer mill took these words to
heart and sought to quit work and
have his fellows quit with him, that
member of the public would be guilty
of melting to breach of contract.
Case Will Be Appealed
Judge Stewards decision, as report
ed in the press, refers to decisions by
the courts of Pennsylvania which up
hcld the yellow dog" contract. At
torneys consulted on the matter insist
that the higher Pennsylvania courts
have not yet had case in which the
validity of the contract was tested.
However, Judge Stewards ruling will
provide the necessary opportunity for
the Pennsylvania judges of the higher
court to take a position on this mat
ter The case will be appealed at
once.
The Nazareth suit provides a clear
~ different issue than was presented
to he supreme court of the United
States in the Hitchman case which
upheld the yellow dog" contract, law
yers point out. In the Hitchman case,
which came out of the mine districts
in West Virginia, the union organiz-
ers were accused of having sought
men secretly to join the union after
having signed "yellow dog" contracts.
In Nazareth the organizers of the
American Federation Of Full Fash
ioned Hosiery Workers did not ask
