CURB IS SOUGHT
ON INJUNCTION

A new drive to curb the use
Of Federal injunctions in labor
disputes will be made as soon as
Congress convenes, 1t was learned
today.
The Insurgent bloc, aided by
numerous Democrats and by
those Republicans who have the
endorsement Of organized labor,
will seek prompt action on the
anti-injunction bill, which the
Sen ate Judiciary Committee
approved as the last session
ended. This measure would limit
Federal injunctions, so far as
strikes and labor disputes are
concerned, only to the curbing Of
unlawful acts and to preventing
property damage.
The bill also included the Van
denberg proposal, drawn to pro-
tect newspapers and newspaper
men from the wrath Of Federal
judges. This section would allow
a change Of venue, and q trial
by jury, and would bar the Of
Tended Judge from officiating In
cases where a newspaper or news
paperman is cited for contempt
Of court. The same provisions
would apply to labor unions or
labor organizers cited for alleged
contempt.
The bill, originally sponsored
by Senator Shipstead, Farmer
L.aborite from Minnesota, was re-
written toward the close of the
last session by Senators George
w. Norris, Nebraska insurgent,
and John j. Blame, Of Wisconsin.
Their final draft constituted a
far-reaching effort to limit the
powers of the Federal Courts.
Ever since the judiciary has been
established, Federal Judges have
had the right to cite individuals
for contempt and then to act as
jury in the trial and to impose
sentence as. well. The Supreme
Court has constantly refused to
intervene in such cases or to set
aside such sentences.
The proposal to limit the use
Of labor injunctions has been
advocated for many years but
became a torrid issue when the
Senate was considering the NOM
ination of Judge John j. Parker,
of North Carolina, to the Supreme
Court. Parker's foes attacked his
judicial record, In which he had
issued several severe injunctions
against mine unions in West Vir-
ginia.

SEEK DAYLIGHT SAVING
Wilmington and Suburbs Will Get

Although the Legislature has
passed a bill to the effect that
Standard Time is the official time
for the State and although the
rural districts do not have it on
account of opposition of farmers
who say it disarranges their
schedules, the larger cities includ-
ing Wilmington, it is expected the
Daylight Saving Time will be the
rule Of operation again this Sum-
mer. Starting on the last Satur-
day Of April, and lasting until the
last Saturday in September, day
light saving time has been in use,
in effect in Wilmington for a num-
Der of years. The so-called volun-
tary daylight saving plan, in addi-
tion to being used in Wilmington,
with pleasure to workers of all
kinds, is used annually in Phila-
delphia, New York, and will prob
ably be used in Baltimore. No Of
ficial change of time is made in
the city time pieces, but the may
ors of these cities, usually arrange
for the earlier hours for municipal
offices and bureaus which desire to
work on the daylight saving time
basis.

The possibility that Congress

House Group to Act
House leaders showed d like
interest in the charges and the
special "AntfRed'' Committee,
headed by Rep. Hamilton Fish,
jr. tFs9 Of New York, will initiate
separate inquiry this week.
Fish revealed he would send out
committee investigators to learn
the identity Of the American
brokers who handled the Russian
account. He said he will sum
mon the brokers to the witness
stand to develop every angle of
the Russian campaign.
The Fish inquiry, though. will
be undertaken, not to halt gamb-
ling on the grain exchanges, but
to determine whether Soviet Rus

program in this country. His
committee ultimately may recon-
mend legislation to control Rus

country, or at least to set up
