Dumb Players
Held Best in
Contract

LONDON QN.S). - Promi-
nent British players cannot
make up their minds whether
or not contract bridge should
be a dumb game,
The question, Should bridge
be played in silence?" was hotly
debated at the first British Ma
tional Bridge Congress held at
Bexhill-on-Sea. There were
speakers for and against the
motion but no vote was taken.
]. w. Meares, well-known
player of Chichester, was all
for silence. He said:
1T would be a far better
thing if we were all deaf and
dumb in contract. Whether you
want to or not, you are bound
to pick up an immense amount
of information from the inflec-
tions of the voice when players
call.
"1t is almost impossible to
keep a level poker voice all the
time. think it would be much
better if we had an indicator
for all calls"

MUSEUM FREE;
SCORNS DIMES

NEW YORK.-Depression, a
scarcity of dimes and a desire to
amuse and educate his fellow
Harlemites have all contributed
to the decision of Captain"
Charles CasSell, curio collector
and proprietor Of Seagoing Char
lies Museum, to throw open the
doors of his establishment to the
public without exacting any
charge for the privilege Of e6-
amining his 40-year collection.
A bright new sign bearing the
legend Admission Free" now an
nounces to those who pass the
corner of 127th Street and Sew
enth Avenue, that they are in
vited to come in and look around
without paying for their welcome.
Evening is the best time to visit
the museum, for the electric
lights show off the curios much
better than the gloomy daylight
that manages to penetrate into
the basement where they are dis
played.
AS you approach the museum
you are greeted by a sign that
invites you to Come Down and
Shake Hands With Seagoing
Charlie" But if the weather
happens to be warm you will find
the former seaman sitting near
the curb on his Oriental teak
wood chair holding onto the
leash of Jimmy Walker" his pet
crocodile, named after the former
Mayor who once paid a dollar to
be shown the collection.
If you enter the museum Cap
tain Charlie will come to you for
that promised handshake. If the
handshake is a hearty one you
will be shown everything and
have the history of each curio
related as it is displayed.

Tracys letter to Johnson said:
eve have read with amazement,
and not little dismay, the code for

HOLDS STRIKE
Justified and Judge Denies
Injunction

CChicago (ILNS)-Employers who
come into court with "unclean hands"
are not entitled to an injunction
against striking workers, Judge Harry
M. Fisher in circuit court held in the
case of the La Mode Garment Com
pany, which sought to enjoin the In
ternatinoal Ladies' Garment Workers
Union as the result of strike of 400
employees.
Judge Fishers decision held, in eff
feet, that conditions in the plant of
the La Mode Garment Company justi-
fled strike The decision was be-
lieved one Of the first of the kind on
record.
Holding that the company officials
did not come into court with clean
hands, Judge Fisher refused to issue
the injunction. He ordered the COM
pany officials to live up to their MIRA
code and institute 40-hour week and
minimum weekly wage of $12
"The question to be determined is
whether the complainant comes into
court with clean hands" Judge Fish
er's decision read. II find that un-
fair wages, unreasonable hours of la
Dor, unhealthy working conditions,
ETC., are directly connected with this
suit
"True, the conduct of an employer
which causes a lawful strike does not
Justify lawlessness on the part of
strikers. But in equity the complain
ants own hands must be clean if he
is to prevail against those who in
jure him"
Judge Fisher also pointed out that
the prevailing conditions in this
plant violate the spirit of the Ma.
tional recovery act"
The decision was handed down un-
der the Tuley act, which provides thai
both parties accept the courts deci.
sion as final and waive right to ap.
peal to higher courts.

Playing Square With All Men


dependent on each other. Neither
can be wholly for himself.
In playing square a man usually
lays his cards on the table face up
and works on the merit system. That's
the manner in which each side to the
industrial controversy can get any
where. The way things are going is
not encouraging. Square and honest
dealings make for square and honest
prosperity.
Cooperation and square playing
make for good times and peace and
desirable conditions. Under such line
Of action there is chance to cut the
Gordian knot Of industry and hard
times.
Radicalsm never got man much.
1t is dramatic and full of play-acting
but the curtain goes down on the act
and soon the performance is forgot
ten. Sometimes it is disastrous pas
time. Most often it merely muddles
up the waters of industry.
The world has had enough strife
for years and years. We are all more
or less in rut. We must get out
How? By each pulling in varied
directions? We1l never get any
where by such means. After all, the
experiences of life prove that hon
esty is the best policy. 1t is the only
safe remedy for our industrial ills
