 Is Being Written

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 9. - New Deal hosts rolled into this city today in a colorful convention array shouting and cheering for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and jeers for another one-time party nominee, AL fred E. Smith.
 A barrage of scorn, sarcasm and rldicule fell in Smiths direction for his statement last night asking that Roosevelt and his policies be re- pudiated at the convention opening tomorrow.
 It is very noticeable that the delegates to the Democratic Nation al convention have no intention of following Smiths advice.
 F. D. R. Dominates
 Roosevelt will be in complete dom nation of the convention, and this IS conceded without any hesitancy
 The Party platform is being written at the White House.
 The Administrations proposal to change the Party nominating rule is expected to triumph easily.
 Full Faith Pledged
 Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, of New York, repledged full faith in Presi- dent Roosevelt and said the Smith group expressed the sentiment of only handful of Democrats"
 Harmony, Unantmtty
 Talking harmony and unanimity. tie Democratic leaders began as e rly as last Saturday afternoon to file into the convention city.
 Chairman of the Democratic Ma tional Committee James A. Farley told the newsmen that a two mil lion dollar campaign fund will be sufficient to re-elect President Roosevelt and that the committee expected to get at least half of the sum from the five thousand nomin- ator allies when Roosevelt delivers h.s eepto nee speech next Saturday night.
 The platform is anticipated to contain 2,OO0 words.

New Tax BiU Estimated toProduce Eight Hundred
 Million DOIlars in Income

WASHINGTON, Jun 22.-The tax bill which was sent to the White House last Saturday afternoon by Congress, is estimated to produce eight hundred million dollars in new income.
 The principal feature is the tax of eight to fifteen percent on all corporate income with a supertax of seven to twenty-seven percent on the undistributed corporate income.
 A special provision was made for small corporations by allowing seven percent undistributed tax to apply to the first ten percent or first five thousand dollars or un- distributed earnings whichever was greater Corporate dividends in the hands of stockholders would be sub ject to four percent normal income tax in addition.
 The bill retains the existing ex- cess profits and capital stock taxes but with the rate of the latter cut from $40 to $1 per $1,000 of stock.
 The bill established an entirely new principal of taxing corporation income as it bears heavily on the income which is not distributed to stockholders
 One section of the bill imposes eighty percent tax on persons de- scribed as "unjustly enriched by nonpayment of the old AAA process sing taxes.

Right to Picket Wins Two
Decisions

Two decisions recently handed down by the
Supreme Court Of Wisconsin re-affirm the right
of workers to picket during industrial contro-
v~ersies. Both of the cases involved issues not
usually found in labor disputes.
The first case involved the right of unions to
picket a place of business in an undertaking to
persuade the management to unionize its work
ers when there are no disputes between the en-
ployer and his employees. 1t grew out of the de-
mand Of the business agent of the Milwaukee
Furniture Mems Union that the American Fur
niture Co., designate the union as the bargaining
agent for their employees after the employees had
voted negatively on the proposition. The store
refused to do SO.
The union reported the concern as unfair to
organized labor and picketed the plant. The
lower court upheld the right to picket. The fur
niture company appealed to the Supreme Court,
which upheld the union.
The other case involved a still more unusual
method. Two locals of the Tile Layers Pro-
tective Union in Milwaukee had a controversy
with Paul Sem, a contractor who refused to
employ none but union labor and also refused to
quit work personally. The union members pick
eted Senn's home. The lower court held the
picketing was legal under Wisconsin law. Sem
appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which
upheld the decision of the lower court.
In rendering the decision of the Supreme Court
Justice E. T. Farley said "the requirements that
the employer personally refrain from working
with the tools of the trade is important and vital
to the craftmen affiliated with the defendants
unions, becasue the practice sought to be pre-
vented can SO readily affect wages and hours of
labor"
Pointing out that Sem has every right to run
a non-union shop if he wants to and that "he is
not obliged to yield to the persuasion exercised
upon him by the unions" Justice Farley added
THE act Of peaceful picketing is a law
full form Of appeal to the public to turn its pat
ronage from appellant to concerns in which the
welfare of the unions is bound up"
These two decisions by the highest judicial
authority in Wisconsin clarity considerably the
right to picket non-union plants and the resi-
dencc Of anti-union employers.
Montana labor news., 1936-07-23

he was told that he had not Exhaust
ed the resources of the state courts
Accordingly he applied to the superior
court of Marin county, appealed to
the court OF appeals, and then to the
California supreme court. All this was
mere routine, and it was understood
that each court would decide against
him. 1t is also taken for granted that
the California supreme court, when it
finally gets the briefs and hears the
arguments, will likewise turn the appli-
cation down. All this is merely pre-
p~aration for John F. Finery to argue
the case in Washington, on the grounds
OF violation OF the 18th Amendment,
with a clear slate behind him.
The protracted hearings have, how
ever accomplished some definite results
OF their own.
The parade OF broken-down agents of
the frameup gang; the open confession
of Draper Hand, former police man ;
the damaging admissions wrung from
former Dist. Atty Charles M. Fickert
and his one-time assistant, Edward
Cunha; the straightforward stories of
the five Preparedness Day defendants
themselves; and the feeble r~ejoinders
of the states witnesses have built UP
an impregnable story OF what really
happened before and after the explo-
sion in 1916.

Grafton of Labor and the United Rubber Work
ers of America by armed thugs at Gadsden, Ala,
the arrest, filming and running out of the com
munity Of men engaged in organizing tenant
farmers and share troopers in Arkansas, and the
use of spies and firearms by many anti-union
corporations to handicap workers in their legi-
innate efforts to unite in unions for their mu-
tual protection.
The transportation of strike breakers across
state lines with the intention of using them to
break up picketing, which Congress recently pro
hibited by Federal statute, also offers a field
which the committee will undoubtedly be requir-
ed to explore.
The Senate gave the committee only $4,000
to fiance the investigation, but the lack of funds
will be supplemented by assistance of investiga-
tors from the National Labor Relations Board
and the Department of Labor, both of which bod
les. already have amassed large amounts of in
formation in connection with settling labor dis
putes and administering the Wagner Act.
An important element in the committees
probeis the fact that it has authority to go to
the bottom of things and make recalcitrant I'M
ion smashers toe the mark and reveal the facts.
In this connection the Senate gave the committee
power to subpoena witnesses, books and papers.
Refusal to do so would render witnesses liable
to prosecution for contempt Of the Senate.

up, the La Toilette Committee is evidently in

Work for La Toilette Committee

The continued efforts of un-American EN-
ployers to prevent working men and women
from the exercise of their inherent rights to or
ganize in bona fide unions seem to be mapping
out a busy season for the Senate Education and
Labor Committee in its nationwide investiga-
ton of the extent to which some persons under
take to deprive other persons of their civil rights.
Senator Hugo Black, chairman of the Senate
Committee, appointed Senator La Toilette to head
the inquiry. The other members of the group
are Senators Louis Murphy Of Iowa and Ebert
D. Thomas of Utah. The resolution adopted by
the Senate specifically ordered an investigation
"of violations of the rights Of free speech and
assembly and undue interference with the rights
OF labor to organize and bargain collectively"
This broad scope includes such outrages as the

Butler Steps Off On The
Wrong Foot

General Smedley d. Butler is to be
congratulated on the excellent work
he has done for peace, and particul-
arly for exploding the notion that Jap
an could effectively attack the United
States as Mr. Hearst and Bernard Nc
Fadden have been a%ssiduously teach
ing. However, in the June 9th issue of
Bernard MacFadden's LIBERTY, Cen
eral Butler made the mistake Of per-
hitting the use Of his name to an at
tack on the peace organizations of Am
erica. This was undoubtedly written
with the best of intentions; neverthe-
less, it is evidently based on hearsay
and is quite remote from the facts in
important particulars.
Butler stated that "There are a hum
dred or peace societies operating
in America, most of them with head
quarters in Washington, d. c., and pro-
badly several hunderd miner groups"
Only four peace organizations have
headquarters in Washington. Actually
there are only twenty-seven national
peace organizations; and probably
some 300 local peace councils or COM
mittees.
He said also: "Where are they get
ting all this money, running into mil
lions?" Peace organizations, outside
the Carnegie Foundation, which has a
large endowment and operates very
co~nservatively in several countries.
spent last year not over $500,000.
The General also stated that "We
