What is wrong with Mime
apolis? Doesn't she believe in
law and order? Doesn't she
want her officials to do their
duty?
Last spring, during the truck
drivers strike, when poorly
equipped policemen were club
bed and badly beaten, when two
volunteer policemen were kill
ed, little was heard from the
public. There were few pro-
tests. The city council did no.
thing, so far as I know. But
labor spokesmen boasted Of rid
ding the city of "rats" and ex-
horted the rioters to- further
violence, should efforts be made
to resist their illegal stopping of
traffic.
How different now after an
other riot! With police better
equipped and profting by the
experiences Of the first strike,
the rioters this time took the
beating. And what a storm of
protest has followed! Unions
are demanding impeachment Of
the mayor and removal Of the
chief of police, petitions are be-
ing signed by thousands, we are
told, and the city council has
arranged public hearing.
Is this characteristic of Min
neapolisf IF SO, what a fertile
field for the communistic agita-
tors who have been sent here.

LABOR CLAUSE
|NNRAACT

HOT SPRINGS, Va, June 16
0.NS0-Labor provisions in the
NRA, assuring. the freedom Of the
individual worker to join what
ever labor organization he de-
sires, were assailed today as un-
constitutional by Henry I. Harri-
man, president of the U. s.
Chamber Of Commerce.
In a statement issued in con-
nection with the meeting here Of
the industrial advisory board,
Hartman declared:
"The right Of an employer to
employ whom he will and Of an
emplOye to work for whom he
will, provided a suitable bar
gain can be made, Is . prop
erty right protected by the Fifth
and the Fourteenth Amend
mentS to the Constitution.
TT would seem that sub
division 2 Of section IA is un'
constitutional and that an en-
ployer does have the legal right
to say to . prospective emplOye
4 shall not employ you II you
retain your membership in, or
join, a specific labor union
"While at first thought this
may seem like rather q harsh
legal provision, the history OF
American industry has well
proved the merit Of the free
and unhampered right to seek
employment or to give employ
ment; and it should be remem-'
bered that the converse is true,
and that If an employer has the
right to say to an emplOyc, 4
will not employ you if you are
q member Of the A. F. of H.
the emplOye on his part has q
right to say to the employer,
Il will not work for you unless
