BARRIERS LAW
Is Upheld By State High
Court

Raleigh, n. C.-The North Caro-
lima BARRIERS act, providing for the
registration of BARRIERS and the reg
ulation and inspection of barber
shops, has been upheld by the state
supreme court.
The enactment of the statute, the
court declared, is a valid exercise of
the police power, and is not discrim-
inatory because applicable only in
cities having a population of 1000 or
more.
The court pointed to numerous de-
cisions by the United States supreme
court and other courts which held
that such classification is not unrea-
sonable when the statute applies
equally to all persons in the same
class, and that ordinarily the legis-
lature is the sole Judge of the classi-
fcation."
In reply to the claim that the law
creates special privileges by giving
licenses to BARRIERS, the court said this
is an exercise of the states police
power "for the protection of the pub
lie against incompetents and impos-
tors, and is in no sense the creation
of a monopoly or special privilege.
The door stands open to all who pos
sess the requisite age and good char
acter and can pass the examination
which is exacted to all applicants
alike"

ers demanding of the administration
that Parker be seated, not because
they loved Parker, but because they
demanded vindication for the yellow
dog contract.
The American Federation of Labor
stood against these interests.
The Parker case already has had
many complications and there will be
more
Senators who wanted to vote
against Parker, but who were driven
by White House pressure to voc for
him, resent the compulsion. Some of
them face campaigns this fall. They
know they must reckon with their con-
stituents and they are enraged that
they should have to face them with
the handicap of a pro-Parker vote
which they did not want to cast.
Still further in the future, it IS
worth pointing out, the next national
nominating conventions will come
along. Should President Hoover de-
eide to seek another term his nomina-
tion may, unless the issue is eclipsed
by something a great deal larger, be
made much more difficult of achieve
ment because Of the resentment aris-
ing cut of the pressure exerted for
Parker.
Big Business Lines Up
Big business-the union hating sec
tion of it-lined up for Parker and
unquestionably demanded Parker. The
president went the limit for Parker.
Labor stood against the whole array,
backing the courageous senators who
cast their votes for human progress.
Employers who own million and
quarter of yellow dog contracts which
bind that many workmen not to join
unions were fighting the fight of their
lives to protect those contracts
A great part of manufacturing in
dustry demands yellow dog contracts.
The moment the yellow dog contract
is put out of business these great en-
ployers are looking trade unionism in
The face as they have never had to
do since they discovered the yellow
dog by which their rights were
stripped away. That is why the Park
er fight was so bitter, so uncompro-
missing. Property rights were in
volved in employment relations with
nearly as many men as Pershing had
in France.

By CHESTER M. WRIGHT

Washington, D. c. GLNS) With
the defeat of Judge John j. Parker
as supreme court nominee, organized
labor scored the biggest victory in
years. Parker was beaten on the vel
low dog issue; that was the principal
issue upon which he was attacked in
the senate debate, and it was the
issue upon which the administration
sought to support him.
A fact of unusual Importance that
has almost entirely escaped notice is
the department of justice letter,
thrown in at almost the eleventh
hour, completely upholding Parker's
yellow dog decision. The Importance
of this is not in the departments
effort to support Parker, but in the
attorney generals blanket support of
Parker's position on the yellow dog
contract. Through its statement on
Parker the department of justice
placed itself on record as being for
the yellow dog contract to the limit.
Vote Was Al to 80
The senate vote of A. to 80 against
Parker, however, can not fail to find
reflection throughout the whole ma
tional judiciary machinery and in adj
ministration political circles as we'll.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
the yellow dog in the United States
is doomed because of the magnificent
and victorious fight waged by the
American Federation of Labor.
1t has been estimated that there are
1,125,000 yellow dog contracts in use
in the United States This is an esti-
mate and it must remain an estimate,
because there will never be any cen
sus figures on yellow dog contracts.
The million and quarter yellow
dog contracts constitute the reason
organized business demanded ratif-
cation of the Parker nomination with
all the power possible to use.
And that enormous flood of yellow
dog contracts are in the background
of the terrific pressure put upon all
republican senators by the president.
The White House demanded support
and the White House can punish
when demands are refused. Whether
it will do so remains to be seen.
Symbol of Great Struggle
The appointment, made at the out
set as political move, became a
symbol of the struggle between auto
cratic big business and democratic
progress - between property rights
and human rights.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers supports the yellow dog
contract. The National Foundrymen's
Association supports the yellow dog
contract. These two organizations
have made advocacy of the yellow dog
contracts matter of policy.
Operators of non-union mines use
the yellow dog contract. Anti-union
building trades employers in cities
that have so-called open shop move
ments support and use the yellow dog
contract.
The Parker case became a yellow
dog contract case, with tremendous
force of organized anti-union employ

Boston (ILNS)-The textile indus
try has been tried in the court of pub
lie opinion and found guilty of habit
ual disobedience of the laws of
economics, Henry p Kendell, presi-
dent of the Kendell Company, with
mills in the North and South, told the
National Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers here.
The same Indictment that organ
lied labor has made against the tex
tile industry was made by Mr.. Ken
dell, who advocated much of labor's
program for the cure of the evils of
the industry. He urged reduction of
hours without loss of wages, research
and advertising to lift the cotton in
dustry from its present depression.
Kendel outlined ten fundamentals
which he said the manufacturers
might well consider as ten command
ments for the cotton industry. First,
he said manufacturers must seek the
basic causes of the industry's troubles
and problems and second, these must
be faced and straight thinking done
to solve them.
Pay Must Be Maintained
Third and fourth commandments,
Kendell said, were:
"Thou shalt lift the industry out
of the long-hour, low-wage class, for
by so doing the gap between produc-
ton and demand viii be narrowed
and the move will be in harmony with
the trend of social betterment.
'Thou shalt maintain earnings of
employees, for the law of industrial
prosperity is the maintenance of pur
chasing power"
Other commandments urged by
Kendel included emphasis on good
management above all else, competi-

zell admitted had simply never taken
place.
eve have in the Nazareth case an
example of how far the Injunction
process has gone toward being a mere
automatic instrument in the hands of
anti-union employers" James E.
Kelley, secretary of the State FEEDER
alton of Labor, declared, in comment
ing on the arrests. "This injunction
not only goes farther than any other,
in forbidding all public discussion, but
it was granted in the face of the fact
that one of the affants admitted that
his affidavit was false, point by point.
In granting the injunction, the court
condoned perjury admitted from the
witness stand in its presence"
The injunction was recently made
perpetual by the court Of common
pleas at Easton, sitting en- banc, and
is being appealed to the state su-
preme court.
After Hartzell had made his dam
aging admissions, neither A. G.
Schmidt nor his brother, Victor, who
had also made similar affidavit to
that of Hartzell, took the witness
although they had originally
planned to do so.

Mill Officials Arrested
On Charges Of Perjury in
Nazareth Yellow Dog Fight

Nazareth, Pa. (ILNS)-Challeng-
ing the oft repeated habits of en-
ployers of making fanciful affidavits
upon which to support prayer for
an injunction the Nazareth strikers
have had Calvin Hartzell, president
of the Nazareth borough council and
general foreman of the Kraemer Hos
iery Company, arrested for perjury,
and A. G. Schmidt, president of the
company, arrested for subornation of
perjury. Alderman E. d. Waeg, of
Bethlehem, issued the warrant upon
the formal demand of Louis F. Bu-
denz, special representative of the
American Federation of Full Fashion
ed Hosiery Workers.
The alleged perjury and suborna-
tion of perjury were committed in
the affidavits on which the Stewart
injunction was granted. This injunc-
tion prohibits public discussion of the
yellow dog" contract.
On the witness stand in the injunc-
tion case, Hartzell admitted that the
made against Budenz were
false, and then went to testify that
he had been persuaded to make the
affidavit by President Schmidt, his
employer. The allegations in the
HartzeIl affidavit charged the calling

tion in creativeness, not on price

the spending of money to promote
active good will in the mind of the

Can Solve Own Problems
In further explaining his views,
Kendell said:
"The American textile industry is
in a position where it can correct its
own conditions. Our small percent
age of export means that we can if
we will balance more nearly our sup
ply with demand We cannot bring
about the balance as long as some
mills run 130 hours week; as long
as some mills take advantage of the
temporary curtailments practised by
their competitors; as long as the con
dition of sectional differences in hours
Of work is unrestrained.
We must narrow the gap between
production and demand. A recent
report issued by the National Asso-
citation of Cotton Manufacturers is
IN amazing corroboration of the ur
gent need of, not temporary curtail-
mcnt, but permanent reduction.
Cooperation or Coercion
"The industry has adopted pro-
posal to reduce day running to 55
hours a week and night running to
so, for it has been said that the only
way we can get anywhere is by grad
ual process. viii the plan be carried
through? 1t all depends upon the
capacity of our industry to cooper
ate, and upon willingness to do it as
well as talk about it. If it is impos-
si5le for the industry to reach solu-
tions of its problems by voluntary
cooperation, then we must get ready
for coercive measures from the out
side"
