UNIONS SCORE SWEEPING VICTORY
INFIGHT FOR RIGHTS UNDER N. r. A.
Recovery Act Makes Mandatory Rec
Ognition of Workers Right To
Organize Freely, Milwaukee Judge
Rules in Enjoining Shoe Firm.

MILWAUKEE Organized labor
scored a big legal victory here in a
fight to maintain its right of collec-
tive bargaining under Section IA of
the National Industrial Recovery Act.
Circuit Judge John J.. Gregory
granted the application of labor for a
temporary injunction against the
Simplex Shoe Co., and ordered the
company to cease interference with the
right of its workers to organize into
unions of their own choice and to bar
gain collectively through union Off
GERS. The case vas brought by the
Wisconsin State Federation of Labor,
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union
and employees of the Simplex Co.
Judge Gregory's decision expresses
the belief that jurisprudence must
take cognizance of the changing tenor
Of the times and interpret the law in
terms of social growth and economic
progress.
Outstanding features of the decision
are the declaration that workers have
property rights" in industry and it's
championship of "outside" representa-
ton of the worker.
The court discards as "too narrow"
any limitation to mere tangible, ply
steal property" "The spirit and con-
text of the labor code permit of a
much broader Interpretation" the de-
cision says.
Judge Gregory goes into the inher-
ent disadvantage of individual work
ers, if pitted against the employer.
ut must be apparent" says the de-
%cision, chat bargaining individually
the worker is at a great disadvantage.
The employer is naturally better train
ed by knowledge and experience in
the field of bargaining than the aver
age employee. The part of the en-
ployer's regular occupation, while the
average worker has neither the edu-
cation nor the experience to enable
him to drive a good bargain unassist-

"The individual worker, compared
with che employer, has not the knowl-
edge of the whole field of wages and
working conditions upon which to
base his conclusions as to what is a
just OF wen a possible wage for the
employer to pay"
The decision then goes on to say
that the Recovery Act meets this dis
advantage by giving to the workers
the right to bargain collectively, which
benefit to workers compared with

rights formerly accorded them. The
NRA 49,. has not only sanctioned in
principle but made mandatory upon

WASHINGTON. - The fifty-third
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor here, by unani-
nous vote, declared a boycott of Ger
man goods and steamship services, the
boycott to be continued until the Ger
man Government recognizes the right
of the German workers to organize
into trade unions of their W choos-
ing and ceases its persecution of the
Jewish people.
The conventions action vas taken
in approving a report of the Execu-
tive Council in recommending a boy
colt and followed stirring addresses by
President William Green and Selma
I'M. Borchardt, delegate from the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers.
The convention declared the boy
colt is "strictly economic and non-po-
~litical, free from governmental influ-
ences and does not contemplate or call
for support or encouragement of the
government Of our country or any of
its agencies. 1t must not be directed
against any individuals in our own
country, regardless of their national
ity, ace or political beliefs and af-
filiations."
Union Movement Destroyed.
President Green presented informa-
ton showing what has happened to
the German trade union movement
since the advent of the Hitler dictator
ship. He said the information indi-
Gated the destruction, the absolute an
Inhalation of one of the finest trade
union movements ever established by
the workers in any country under the
sun.
"a situation of that kind is most
extraordinary, and because it is ex-
~traordinary it requires extraordinary
treatment" he declared, adding:
owe love the German people, We
love the German trade unionists, and
it is because we love them and admire
them that | feel, as l think most of
you feel, that it is the duty Of this
convention, the stern duty Of this con-
v%ention to make such a strong declara-
ton as will hearten and strengthen
and encourage our German trade I'M
%ionists and their splendid officers who
have led them so we'll and who have
administered their trade unions affairs
so ably"
Mere Protest Not Enough.
President Green told the convention
the reports on the Hitler campaign
of violence against trade unionism
were shocking and that protest by
American labor was not sufficient.
at is not enough under extraordin-
airy conditions of this kind that we
merely voice our protest." he said.
"That is not sufficient because it car
ries little weight, but l say to you,
my friends, that if we declare that
the people of America will refuse to
buy your goods and ride on your
ships, we then strike at the heart of
this terror.
Let the word go to Germany that
there is one great movement in Amer
lea that will protest against the per-
secution of our trade union represent
tatives in any land, wherever it may
be. l believe such a declaration will
encourage and hearten and strengthen
the morale and the purpose and the
determination of our German trade
unionists abroad to fight for the re-
establishment of the trade union move
ment in Germany"
President Green's address was EN-
Enthusiastically cheered, while the dele
gates rose and the boycott was APP
proved by a loud chorus of "ayes."

NOT WHAT HE MEANS.

F. Scott Mcbride, General Superintendent of the Saloon League, who is heading the fight in Washington State against repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment tells the voters if Washington refuses to ratfy the resolution I've will win" and the nation will remain dry Of course he doesn't believe any such thing Dr. Mcbride isn't foolish. He is man of intelligence He had to be to succeed the late Wayne B. Wheeler chief strategist of the Dry forces and to hold the job after he had obtained it. What he means is, if Washington State rejects repeal this month it is unlikely that the resolution can become effective this year. That might possibly result if Washington should go dry which isn't at all likely If, however the wet leaders, through overconfidence, should lose the State it might be possible that ratification would not become effective until next year That is the worst that could follow dry victory in the Evergreen State.
 Twenty States have voted on the resolution for repeal Twenty States have ratified it at the polls. The twenty first State Arizona, votes tomorrow. While the drys are fighting hard there to stem the tide the of opinion is that it will be the twenty-frst State to turn thumbs down on National Prohibition.

WHY 3.2 AIDS REPEAL.

When Congress endeavoring to fix the alcoholic content of beer to nicety, one question which arose was the possible effect of repeal Of the Eighteenth Amendment. It suggested that beer restored to it's former strength 1t might be popular enough to head off the demand for the Twenty-first Amendment. Again when the States raced to be the first to allow its sale, the feeling persisted some wet circles that the public would stop there
 But the parade for repeal has borne out the prediction of MT. James J. Farley and MT. Jouett Shouse The question at the moment IS whether any State will deny repeal.
 Viewed at this stage the reasons why the sale of beer has aided the of repeal are several. Certainly the most intelligent former Drys know that orderly purveying beer has thnned out the beer flats and liquor joints. It has radically re- duced the sale of bootleg liquor. It is common place that Americans have not got drunk on beer, neither have they disdaned it.
 Probably the most important effect on the public mind of legaizing the decimal point is the visual demonstration that the States can set up control of beverages without the return of the saloon. That bogey has been laid We find various States modi- flying regulations in the belief that the more regu- lations are liberalzed the rackeeerng shall have.
 very considerable former strength of the Anti
  earnest and sincere desire for temperance and morality. The swing of this preponderant element from the Eighteenth Amendment to the Twenty first Amendment surely has been encouraged by the orderly sale of beer. State regulation is seen as better than laws which encouraged the illicit traffic
 In Alaska, where the National Prohibition Act and the Alaska Bone Dry Act were combined by the law enforcement agencies in effort to prevent the sale of liquor failure to achieve the object was commonplace as was failure to enforce the Ma tonal act all the country. The liberal regula- tons of the Territory governing the sale of beer have done more for temperance and morality than the other two laws have been able to do since their enactment. The successful administration by the Territory of three point two beer ought to be siff- cient justification for Congress to pass Delegate Dimonds bill repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Law, and to authorize the Territory to regulate and control the sale of liquor after the Twenty first Amendment is adopted

Tax Yields.
(New York Times. )


 For the first time since the fiscal year ended on June 30 the Treasury has published detailed figures of it's revenues for 193233. The various else taxes adopted year ago by Congress as a substitute for general sales tax made a disap- pointing showing. Compared with an estimated yield of $6020O0 000 they actually brought in only $325 100000 Of score more of new imposts, the tax of 10 per cent safety deposit boxes the Ionly one to measure up to expectations, and this is not entirely cause for qualification, since the increased of deposit boxes doubtless Tn part a by-product of the hoardng of currency in progress last Fall and Winter Taxes electrical energy, oil pipelines and the sale of automobile trucks and accessories, gasoline matches soft drinks toilet preparations and candy yielded from one-half to four-fifths of the amount expected. The others fared much worse, with the tax on grape concen- trates and similar ingredients of home brew falling furthest short of the desired mark and bringing in less than onefourteenth of the official estimate
 While the showing made for the whole year is thus disappointing, sharp improvement during the last three months is evident. Returns from Iall of the principal excise taxes during the final quarter from April to June, contemporaneously with the increase of business activity, and this improvement has continued into the present month. Moreover of revenue has been found lin the tax on beer and receipts from the various stamp taxes, particularly those imposed the transfer of stocks and bonds have substantially exceeded the Governments estimates In conse- quence, the Treasurys receipts this month from miscellaneous internal far exceed those of July last year amounting to $79O00oO0 for the first eighteen days of the month compared with $24,- 100000 in 1892.
 Meantime expenditures in both the ordinary and emergency budgets have been reduced by about one third and the deficit on July 18 stood lat $15O,000000, against $3l90O0,000 the same date last year. deficit of moderate size is normal lin July, even in years when the Government suc- ceeds in balancing its budget, since the Treasury receives in this month quarterly instalment of income taxes to help meet it's expenditures.

The Blanket Code.
(BoSton News Bureau.)

It is frankly measure which the Com mander- Chief now hands to the army of Amer- can business to carry out for the last five months of this year. Only insignificant units and among women such individuals domestic servants, are exempt. And just frankly it is a bold or even desperate measure to meet what Gen. Johnson has termed crisis"
 The blanket code voluntary act in which, however, all expected to agree, represents a sweeping extension of what it had first been hoped to achieve piecemeal But as often in warfare, time was of the of the battle Gen. John sons own chart, showing production rising but pur- chasing power tagging, made clear to him the immediate commander and to the generalissimo the vital need of prompt action. Hence this new, almost universal strategy.
 The separate codes came flowing in fast, it is true, though many of them seemed prolix and cumbersome; but the net result to date dis appointing to the strategists. Output seemed to be largely stimulated in spots but the question seemed still to finger whether the orders causing that expansion not largely just anticpatory with thoughts of both rising costs and prices. That is, there seemed to be inherent in all this circulatory process considerable lack of real conSumptve de- mand Therein may lie the urgent significance of Gen. Johnson's battle chart
