to a nearby store, buy few black
walnuts for a dime, or even as high
as quarter, and by planting them
in some place on your grounds have
a tree of your own. 1t is a tree
that has greater range OF territory
than any other species in the United
States!
Besides, its timber has greater value
than any other species on the market,
as the demand for black walnut in
cabinet work has never been over
supplied.
The trees are ornamental, as they
come into foliage early, and retain
1t until late into the season. They
grow to be tall and straight, and
next to the pecan, are the fastest
growing hardwood east of the Rocky
Mountains. The finest gun stocks are
made from the wood.
There are still to be seen many

rived from eating the delicious meat

The walnuts are an arlstocratlc
group of only 10 species. And, be-
lieve it or not, there is not one black
sheep among them. They are proud
lot, and each species can boast OF
valuable wood, sweet, edible fruits
and a form that is beautiful the year
round.
In America, the forests have four
species. One grows in California
one in the Southwest and two in the
eastern half of our country.
The beautiful leaves grow alter

of 10 to Is leaflets. They are yellow

Autumn.
In May, the flowers arrive at the

staminate ones in catkins to 6
inches long, on the wood grown the
year before. The pistillate female)
ones are on the new shoots and. in

COURT ATTACK
On Anti-Injunction Bill
Scored as Plea For
Sweatshop

Trenton, N. j. lILNS)--A bitter
fight between labor and employers
associations in New Jersey over the
bill to limit the use of injunctions IN
labor disputes reached startling
climax when the highest judicial Of.
ficer Of the state, Chancellor Luther
A. Campbell, issued statement at
tacking the bill and claiming that it
would completely prostrate and rem
der impotent' equity courts.
The national committee on labor
injunctions, New York city, at once
condemned the chancellor's pro-
nouncement as incredible and shock
ing" and lacking restraint and dis
cipline" The committee pointed out
that the bill 50 bitterly attacked was
already a law in Is states and was
modelled after the federal Norris
La Guardia act Of 1881.
The bill has been passed by the
New Jersey assembly by vote Of
SO to II and favorably reported by
the senate committee on miscel-
laneous business. The true signifi-
cance of the chancellor's statement
was made obvious by an enthusiastic
comment on it by Merritt Lane, legal
spokesman for employers in labor dis
putes in New Jersey.
Contradicting Chancellor Camp
bells opinion, the national commit
tees lawyers declared, Noting in this
bill makes legal what has hereto
fore been crime. Nothing in this
bill does other than regulate and limit
the use Of the single legal instrument
Of injunction. This legislation m
wolves no special privilege to labor.
It's sole end is to correct special
abuses suffered by labor in the appli-
cation Of general rules
"The chancellor's final appeal the
memorandum concluded, is to those
who would attract other and more
industries to New Jersey. To this
end he would set aside the personal
rights of working men. What sor-
did plea for the runaway sweatshop
and from the highest judicial officer
Of the state! What brazen invita-
ton to the unscrupulous employer to
impose upon New Jersey workers
with the blessing Of the chancellor's
conscience, a condition that is rem.
iniscent of Involuntary seryitude. \.

NLRB DECISION
FOR OIL WORKERS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
National Labor Relations Board has
found that the Bell Oil and Gas Com
pany, Grandfield, Oklahoma, dis
charged three workers last Septem-
Der because of their activities in Local
258 Of the International Association
Of Oil Field, Gas Well and Refinery
Workers of America.
The decision orders the oil COM
pany to cease and desist from discour-
aging membership IN Local 258 or
otherwise interfering with its em-
ployes in the exercise OF their rights
20 self-organization. The company is
ordered to reinstate the three dis
charged workers, with adjusted back
pay from the date of their discharges
The complaint, as originally served
on the company last November BY
the boards Fort Worth regional Of
flee, named four other workers az
having been discharged because of
union membership. The decision dis
misses the complaint as to these four.
The board also dismissed the COM
plant in 50 far as it alleged that the
oil company management had refused
TO bargain with Local 258. On these
latter two points the decision sustains
the report Of R. Z. Guthrie, the Trial
Examiner, who conducted the hearing
lin the case at Wichita Falls commenc-
ing December 20, 1885. The opinion
of the board that the three workers
were discharged for union activity is
Ia reversal of the report of the trial
examiner, who held otherwise.
