Big Increase in Democratic
Registration Recorded in
California.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The amazing increase in Democratic
registration in California indicates the
huge job which confronts the Republic
cans if they are to carry that State
in the presidential election next No.
vember.
The registration figures for six Of
the largest counties in the State give
the Democrats a total of 1,l81 .402
The Republican registration. on the
other hand, is 777,482. Los Angeles
and Alameda in the past were Repub-
lican strongholds. Today the Demo-
cratic registration in Los Angeles is
735,7s9 to 468,72O for the Republicans.
In 1882 the Los Angeles Republican
registration was 608,593, while the
Democratic registration was 43s,o3s.
Republican leaders in Congress from
California today shook their heads
over these figures. To some of them
they indicated a sure Roosevelt VIC
tory, barring q tremendous change
in sentiment.
State Situation Reversed.
In 1882 the total Republican regis
tration in California was approxi-
mately half million greater than the
Democratic registration. Today the
situation is almost reversed. In 1882
the State was carried by Roosevelt by
more than 100000 over former Presi-
dent Hoover.
Senator Hiram johnson, Indepen-
dent and Progressive Republican lead
er in California for many years. sup
ported the candidacy of President
Roosevelt in 1882. Although the Sem
ator declined today to make any state
ment of his position in the coming
presidential race. it is generally be-
lieved he will be found in the Roosevelt
camp again. If he is, it seems almost
certain that the State will be lost to
the Republicans.
Some of the Republicans from Cali
fornia attribute the great increase in
Democratic registration to the fact
that so many people have been on re-
lief Others assert that good many
of the Johnson Republicans are now
registered as Democrats. Senator
johnson does not come up for re-elec-
ton for another four years

Nv The Associated Press.

Renewing his contention that q
board similar to that found in Bruno
Richard Hauptmann's home was sold
by a Bronx lumber firm a week after
Hauptmann's arrest, Arch w. Loney,
P. w. A. material expert, said today
he had asked friend to inspect the
records and interview employees of the
National Millwork Lumber Corp.
Declining to give the name Of his
representative, Loney said he was an
executive "of one of the largest con-
Germs of its kind in the country" and
would try to find a man named Boyer,
who originally told Loney there was a
record of the sale.
Oficials of the lumber company yes

action. Boyer, he added, is a present
or former employe of the company.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Rev. w. H.
Hickman, president of the Greater
New York Conference of Seventh Day
AdventiSts, said in response to a query
today that Rev. D. G. Werner, spir-
itual adviser to Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann, has been unfrocked.
He declined to state the cause of
the removal but emphasized that Mr.
Werner's relationship with Hauptmann
was not responsible.
While the denomination approves
the action of any Of its ministers act
ing as spiritual adviser to convicted
men, the conference does not approve
declarations by the ministers as to
their guilt or innocence" he explained.
But, he added, Mr.. Werner's decla-
rations of belief that Hauptmann was
unjustly convicted played no part in
the custer. On Mr.. Heckmans desk
lay copy of a magazine carrying an
article by Mr.. Werner on the Haupt-
mann case.
Mr.. Hickman declined to state when
the removal took place or what officers
of the church had participated.

LABOR INJUNCTION
RIGHT IS DENIED
Employers Ruled Barred
From Hating Act in
Inferior Courts.
BY WILLIAM S. TARVER.

Ruling coincidentally in four sep
arate cases, Justice Jesse C. Adkins in
District Supreme Court today denied
the right of employers to secure in
functions from inferior courts to halt
applications of the national labor re-
lations act.
He refused to rule on the challenged
constitutionality of the act except as
to the provision guaranteeing workers
the right sto organize and to bargain
collectively without domination or in
preference from the employer, which
he held to be valid.
The provision in the act for review
by Federal Circuit Courts OF Appeals
for decision provides an adequate rem
edy at law to all who are disposed to
oppose the statute on constitutional
grounds, and therefore the equity juris-
diction of Federal District Courts
should not be invoked in injunction
proceedings, Justice Adkins asserted.
Remedy Held Adequate.
Pointing out that the act provides
for enforcement of orders of the Labor
Board by the appropriate Court of
Appeals, and until the court has en-
tered such an order, no ruling by the
board has any legal force, Justice Ad-
kins said, this remedy has been held
adequate in the past as to the Federal
Trade Commission and other similar
bodies created by Congress.
Refuting contentious that the act is
wholly unconstitutional, the judge re-
lied on the much-cited case of Texas
& New Orleans Railway Co. VS..
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks for au-
thority that Congress may constitu-
tionally provide for the unimpeded
organization and collective bargaining
of employees.
He said that it was necessary In the
four cases to rule only on this part OF
the act, which is included in sections
7 and 8 co of the statute.
In answer to arguments that hear
ings and elections conducted by the
board would cause irreparable injury
to employers through interference with
operations, a loss of good will, and ex-
pense of preparation of defense. JUS
tice Adkins held that these are not
sufficient grounds for injunction.
Company Activities Alleged.
The case concerning which Justice
Adkins wrote his memorandum opin-
ion, the principles of which We're ap-
piled to the three other cases decided,
involved an injunction petition by
Heller Bros. Co., operator of fac
tory for the manufacture of files and
other small tools at Newcomerstown,
Ohio.
The company was charged by the
board with sponsoring the formation
of a company union and with interfer-
ing with the rights Of its employees to
self-organization.
