JUDGE HELPS OUT
AFL RACKETEERS.
Won't Give Hearing to
Industrial Union

The Supreme Court of New York
in the person of Justice Black,
Thursday officially sanctioned rack
eteering in the American Federation
of Labor,
During the hearing in which Local
1888, Retail Dairy, Fruit and Grocery
Clerks, A. F. of L., presented argu-
ments to make the temporary in
junction it has obtained against the
Food Workers Industrial Union a
permanent one, Justice Black, re-
puted to be worth $2o,OO0,o0o, refused
to hear proof presented by the rev.
dictionary food workers lawyer to
the effect that Local 1913 was nothing
but racket, Black said, Local 1888
has a perfect right to enter into any
kind of an agreement with the En-
ployers' Association, even II that
contract has nothing to do with the
legitimate union activity and even
if the Employers Association has
already signed contracts with the
Food Workers Industrial Union.
At one point in the argument Jus
tice Black condoned the racketeerlng
of the A. F. of L. local by saying that
the local vas precisely like the I. r.
t. company union, Black thus I'M
Willingly admitted what the Food
Workers Industrial Union was trying
to prove, namely, that Local 1888 was
a company union intent only on
smashing the revolutionary Food
Workers Industrial Union.
The court clerk evidently DESTROYS
of preserving the sanctity OF Justice
Black, who is trustee OF the fash
ionable Calvary Baptist Church, re-
fused to permit a member-witness o.

STOP EVICTION OF
NEGRO TENANTS

NEW YORK.-Cases Of wholesale
evictions have been found out by the
Madison Square Branch of the Un-
employed Council. At SGT West 4sth
St., the landlord has given all the
tenants notice to move. The tenants
are Negro workers. The excuse the
landlord gives is that he intends to
install hot water system. Members
of the Unemployed Council who can
yassed the house found out that most
of the tenants are out of work or
work two days week, and are not
able to pay the RICH rents. The land
lord wants to get them out so he
can get tenants in at a higher rental
The tenants are being called to a
meeting to organize the house against
this wholesale eviction.

ments and are maintaining a firm

NEW YORK.-Police Commissioner

priving many of them of their jobs
because they are not American citi-
zens The new policy Of the Hack
Bureau, whereby the drivers license
are taken away, resulting in his be-
ing fired from his job. comes about
at a time when the taxi bosses are
increasing the hours and speeding
up the men.
The men are not even notified that
they should apply for their citizenship
papers. They are simply fired, after
the police department withdraws
their driving license.
The Taxi Weekly, organ Of the
taxi-bosses, in its June 22nd issue
admits that this policy was suddenly
sprung on the men and that many
of them are not notified. There are
about 1000 foreign-born taxi driv-
ers in New York city who are threat
ened with loss of their job.

estate under the wills of the
Henderson men.
It would be impossible, he as
serted, for Mrs. Henderson, under
her will, to have disposed of any
Of this property.
Suit to Protect Rights
It was her right to this prop
erty that Mrs. Wholean was seek
ing to protect when she brought
suit to prevent Mrs. Henderson
from giving to the Government
a home for its Vice Presidents:
The fact, however, that Mrs.
Henderson did not make pro-
vision for this distribution of the
old estate to Mrs. Wholean in her
will, cannot be held cause for
invalidation of the will, it was
asserted. Mrs. Henderson could
not, obviously, dispose in her will
of property which belonged to
Mrs. Wholean under the previous
wills, it is explained.
The course which the Wholeans
and other parties affected by the
wills will take has not as yet
been determined, although it is
certain that a contest will be
made on the last will of Mrs.
Henderson.
Six Wills Face Action
Should the last dated will be
refused probate, attorneys said
today, the question will return
to the next will. Should this
in turn be thrown out, the next
will will be considered and so
on until the six wills have been
offered for probate and one of
them accepted or all rejected.
# all of the wills were re-
jected, the estate of Mrs. Hender-
son would be divided under the

To LIBRARY

HAGERSTOWN, Md, July Is.
The Washington County Free
Library here reports that due to
unemployment it's circulation has
increased 5000 books per month.
The increase began in March and
has continued throughout the
summer, with the result that an
extra clerk has had to be put on.
Miss Mary L. Titcomb, the
librarian, finds that many of
the laid-Off read technical books
to improve their skill during the
unemployed period. Others, she
said, run to travel and adven-
ture, to take their minds off
their worries.
Because of lack of funds the
library will discontinue public
school work this year.
The library spent $1,000 last
year distributing books in the
high schools of the county. The
discontinuing Of this service will
be a serious blow to the sys-
tenn of education-the graphic
method-which is used in the
schools.

Major Buse was operated upon

while he and Lieut.. Col. James J.
Meade were on an inspection tour
of the artillery training camp at
Stump Neck, Md, where the
Tenth regiment of Marines from
Quantico and the Marine reserves
from Philadelphia are in training.

TROOPERS KEPT

RESERVATION
Supervisor Hedrick Backed
BY RockIand Business Men,
Who See Traffic Ills End

After a conference between
Col. Harry M. Coots, commandant
OF the U. S. Army post at Fort
Myer, Va, and Major R. l..
Foster, quartermaster at Fort
Myer, who has charge of military
roads there, it was indicated that
The jumbled Jurisdiction and
problems Of maintenance of sew
eral roads in Arlington county
would be ironed out in the
United States courts.
Courts Will Decide
While neither Major Foster nor
Colonel COOtS would make state
mentS regarding the blockade
that Arlington county authorities
nave thrown up about the post,
IL Is understood that the matter
mas been referred to the War
Department and will be presented
to the courts for settlement.
This action was taken after
Supervisor B. M. Hedrick, of Ar
lington county, had issued an
order prohibiting horse drawn
vehicles and solid-tire vehicles
from using county rounds. Mr..
Hedrick'S action was taken after
Federal authorities had refused
to maintain Federal roads in the
county which lie outside of the
Fort Myer boundaries.
This, in effect, would bottle
up the cavalry unit now stationed
at Fort Myer, leaving them no
inlet or outlet.
Hedrick Is Supported
-, Meanwhile, merchants of Rock
land, through which the cavalry
units pass on their way to and
from Washington, indicated that
they were in hearty accord with
the order of Supervisor Hedrick.
According to these merchants,
If the cavalry units are kept off
