Workers Locked Out
For Joining Union

Indiana, Pa. (ILNS) One hundred
workers in the Indiana Textile Mills
Co. have been locked out of their
jobs for joining the American Fedora
tion of Hosiery Workers, Herbert w.
Payne, state representative Of the
federation, reports. He said 81 per
cent of the mill employees are union
members.
Payne characterized the mills as the
No. l sweatshop of the country He
said wages We're SO per cent below the
union scale, which is the standard
scale even in non-union mills. No mill
in the country pays lower wages,
Payne said. He also declared the
firm operated as hours a week in
contrast with the 40 hours prevalent
in the rest of the industry.
Charges of violating the labor dis
putes act by interfering with the EN-

zens many benefits, according to re-
ports by the town officials.

STOCKTON
Fire Fighters Win Right To
Organize

Stockton, Calf. (9FLNS After a
bitter fight waged by the organized
employers here to have the newly
elected city council reprimand the fire
fighters for joining the International
Association Of Fire Fighters and af-
filiating with the Stockton Central
Labor Council, the city fathers
promptly tabled the reactionary pro-
posal.
The resolution condemning the fire
fighters declared "that the formation
of local chapter of the International
Fire Fighters Association, an affil-
late of the American Federation of
Labor" was "inimical to the best in
terest of the city of Stockton as a
whole"
The anti-labor resolution was sup
ported by City Manager Hogan, who
admitted the fire fighters had a legal
right to organize, but criticized them
for exercising it.
President Walter w. Mahoffey, of
the Stockton Central Labor Council,
opposed the position taken by Mr.
Hogan with vigorous statement cit
ing the number of cities in the United
States and Canada where the firemen
are organized with large benefits
in efficiency for the fire departments
After receiving the Central Labor
Councils strong support of the right
of the firemen to enroll in the or.
ganized labor movement, the city ia
theirs tossed the anti-labor resolu
ton on the table with resoundine
! thud.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1886
THE DoUBLE.BARRELLED IVA

THE DOUBLE-BARRELLED IVA
Two points need to be kept in mind
on the IVA decision Of the supreme
cout, and one of them is usually neg
lected.
The supreme court upheld the right
of the federal government to make
and sell power at Wilson Dam. That
is all to the good-as far as it goes.
The decision was to /; only jus
tice McReynolds dissenting. And JUS
tice McReynolds, in the judgment Of
all workers who have watched his
course, believes in government Of the
people, by the courts, for the cor
porations. He has only one divine
attribute: he is the same yesterday,
today and forever.
The other point is more obscure
and may be more important. Four JUS
tees of the supreme court held that
the court should dismiss the case
without hearing. They held that the
preferred stockholders who brought
the suit had shown no case in the
lower courts. They had proved no
injury, presented no evidence that
warranted hearing They should be
thrown out Of court altogether
On this point, the vote was five
to Brandeis, Cardozo, Stone and
Roberts holding that the case ought
to be dismissed; the other FIVE insist
ing that the case be heard.
This marks decided difference
in the court as to the ease with
which a corporation or aggrieved
stockholders of corporation may at
tack the constitutionality of law.
According to the majority Of the
court, almost any excuse will do. Ac-
cording to the four justices who dis
sented from this view though not
from the final disposition Of the mat
ter, the validity of an act of congress
may not be challenged except by per.
sons with refnite proof Of definite
injury.
This is the statement Of layman
but it seems to cover the case.
All Washington observers agree
that the IVA case is far from set.
tied, and anticipate fireworks wher
the real settlement comes.

Strike of Mill Workers

Gaffney, S. c. (AFLNs)-Four hun

Drinking herring oil to ward off tuberculosis has been brought to light by reliable story that comes out of Kodiak. A fisher man over 12 years ago was going into a decline, bearing all the earmarks of tuberculosis. He began drinking herring oil, kept it up steadily and he is now in full strength. Herring oil, pro- perly produced has been known to show in laboratory tests less than one per cent of moisture and impurities.
