HOOVERPATO
NOMINATION OF
JUDGE PARKER
Judicial Bias Claim Is
Made by Labor
Leader

WASHINGTON. April 14.-tP-
The administration Is standing
squarely behind the nomination OF
Judge John ]. Parker as an asso-
ciate Justice Of the Supreme Court
in opposition TO the objections Of
organized labor and growing antag-
onism in the senate.
The position Of the president and
the determination Of those opposed
to Judge Parker's confirmation were
accentuated today by three devel-
opments which set Washington
wondering II q repetition Of the
nomination OF Charles Evans
Hughes as Chief Justice was In
prospect.
Defend Parker
From the White House there came
last night q statement, prepared by
the Justice department, defending
Judge Parker against the criticism
Of the American Federation OF La
Dor, which simultaneously issued q
|~reiteration OF It's oppistion. In ad-
dition, IL was learned that Chair
man Norris of the Senate Judiciary
committee had decided to oppose
confirmation and might be joined
by Senator Borah.
Judge Parker's action In uphold
ing an injunction preventing the
united mine workers from organ
izing employees Of the Red jacket
Consolidated Coal and Coke com
pany was the subject of the state
ments OF both the justice depart
ment and the labor organization.
Followed Decision
The former commended that Judge
Parker had no freedom Of action IN
the case In question. that In his
decision he followed a previous de-
cision Of the Supreme Court. which,
the statement said, he was bound to
do.
The statement OF the Federation
signed by william Green. It's pres
ident. said 1T is uncomfortable that
a man who has shown such judicial
bias against the working people OF
the country, can be elevated TO the
highest judicial tribunal OF the
land"
Action on the nomination Of
Judge Parker was deferred for q
week today bv the senate judiciary
committee.

Judge Pippen ordered Story's re-
arrest on the bond forfeiture war
rants and directed that his new

Thus. in event Story Is again

Sayers summarized details IN an
agreement Story entered into with
the county attorney OF Denton
county relative to withdrawal Of
his appeal IN a five year conviction
for robbery II the Krum bank five
years ago. All other cases against
Story we're to be dismissed In con-
sideration or his withdrawal OF an
appeal and his serving the five
year prison term.
Hiding Out"
Sayers said he went to Denton
last week IN an effort to locate
Story and while there was advised
the convicted bank robber was
hiding out"
The cases against Story included
charges Of burglary, theft of $50:
arson. robbery with firearms. vio-
lating the anti-mask law, assault
TO murder, and accessory to muir
der.
Some body has made a large
amount of bonds fer Story in good
faith-but they made them for a
bad man." Judge Pippen told Say
ers. Il am going to forfeit all these
bonds. but II you arc able TO locate
him in a reasonable time perhaps
I shall not make the forfeitures
final"
