Allison, Van Ryn In

Wimbledon, England, July s.
(UP)-Wilmer Allison, Austin,
Tex, and John Van Ryn, Philadel-
phia reached the finals of the
mems doubles by defeating the
newly selected English Davis Cup
combination of Pat Hughes and
c. D. R. Tuckey, As, GA. 6-2, So.
Hopes for All-American final In
the mems doubles were blasted
when Jack Crawford and Adrian
Quist of Australia defeated Don
Bulge and Gene Mako of Califor-
mia, 90, 1911, 6-3, in the second
semi-final. The first semi-final
was won by Wilmer Allison.
Greater experience, superior
teamwork, better balance and a
slight edge in all-round ability en-
abled Allison and Van Ryn to elm
mate the British tandem with conf
parative ease. However, Hughes
and Tuckey staged brilliant rally
to win the first set coming from

WAGNER BILL Is
SIGNED TODAY
BY PRESIDENT
Praised By Labor Forces
OF Northumberland
By Employers

Washington, July SUPP
President Roosevelt today signed
the disputed Wagner Labor Rela-
tons bill, hailed by organized La
Dor as Magma Charta" bue con-
demned by many employers as a
breeder of trouble.
Fundamentally, the new act at
tempts by national law to guaran-
tee labor the right to organize as
it pleases and to bargain collective
ly. 1t clarifies and expands the
guarantees formerly in NRA Codes
under Section IA of The Recovery
Act.
Sought by labor for two years,
the bill sponsored by Senator Rob-
ert T. Wagner, D., N. Y, was
rushed through Congress by large
majorities following downfall OF
the codes, which left Section Ia
imperative.
The act is based on the fedora
power to regulate matters in OF
affecting interstate commerce, q
power which apparently was
sharply restricted by the Supreme
Courts MIRA decision. Considered
by many lawyers to be of doubtful
constitutionality, the new law is
certain to be attacked in the courts
by industrial interests.
Unfair Labor Practices
In an effort to protect labor in
organizing and bargaining collec-
lively, the act defines the follow
ing unfair labor practices and
sets up a three-member national
labor relations board charged with

JUDGE MASCOLO
WILL NOT KEEP
COURT WAITING
Man Held for Federal
Agents Was Discharged
in Court Today

Declaring that city court is not
run for the convenience of agents
of the, federal government, Judge
Edward Mascolo today refused a
request for a second continuance
in the case of Joseph Lopez, "a,
of 81 West 112th street. New York,
who had been held since Tuesday
night for passing counterfeit
bill. When the state had no evil
dence to offer against Lopez this
morning, Judge Mascolo gave the
accused discharge.
The situation was unprecedented
in cent city court history. In the
past. the judges have almost auto
matically granted requests for con-
tinuances In cases involving federal
charges. Hence, this morning 1t
was expected that the court would
nod its approval to the request
made on behalf of the government
by Prosecutor John d. Thoms that
the case be postponed for hearing
till next Tuesday.
Judge Firm In Decision
II am not going to hold this man

Judge Mascolo. ION Wednesday l

the federal men knew that and

fair to KEEP this man locked up
here till next week because the
government is not ready to go
ahead with its case. II there is a
case against this man, let it be pres
scented now. or I'll discharge him."
The judge then granted a request
for q five-minute recess during
which Prosecutor Thoms consult
ed police officials and attempted In
vain to contact federal men.
After the recess, Judge Mascolo
said: This man can't raise bonds

BY FREDERICK KUN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, July g.-(UP)-Great
Britain, rebuffed in Continental Eu-
rope, may eventually seek support
of the United States and Japan in
its efforts to prevent ansItalian war
on Abyssinia, unofficial sources re-
ported today. What action can be
taken, officials hesitate to discuss.
But there is increasing talk of an
effort to impose economic penalties
on Italy if Benito Mussolini insists
on his war. It is reported here
that the government has decided it
can not act alone to invoke or exc
cute any measures stronger than
ones against Italy.

action may be agreed on among
