BURKE FOR 6YEAR
PRESIDENT TERM
Time Favorable for Action,
Says NebraSkan-Plans
Amendment.
1y the Associated Press.


OMAHA, Nebr., December 5.-Sen-
ator Edward r. Burke, Democrat, OF
Nebraska said today he contemplates
introducing at the next session of Con-
gress q constitutional amendment pro-
posal to give Presidents Of the United
States six-year term, with no re-elec-
ton privileges.
IF such an amendment is not intro
duced by others favoring six-year
terms for Presidents, I will do so and
urge quick action on the proposal" the
Senator said.
This appears to be very favorable
time for such action. The country has
just witnessed the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt by a tremendous ma
jority. I believe President Roosevelt
would favor the amendment"
Senator Burke resigned as Nebraska
Democratic national committeeman
last August. He explained he felt he
could not give blanket approval" to
the New Deal, but still supported Presi'
dent Roosevelt for reelection.
He said today he believed the pro-
posed amendment would be great
step forward in the direction OF good
government.
There would be no first term dur.
ing which a President would have tc
devote a good share of his time tt
thoughts of reelection, thus permit
ting him to give fuller time to develop
ment Of his program"
Burke added that he might incor'
porate in his proposal a provision
lengthening the terms Of Representa-
tives from two to four years.

JUDGE BANNED USE
OF BANNER
Case Involving Stella Beau
ty Shop Case now in Min
nesota Supreme. Court
By CARL O'SHEA

MINNEAPOLIS. - The casec
which the Supreme Court of Min
neapolis is soon to review-invol-
wing the conviction and sentencing
to four months lin Jail of Joe
Voorhees,, business agent for the
Independent Union of All Work
ers in Austin, Mimi, for violating
an injunction issued to prevent
the bannering of beauty shop
involves an issue which is of The
utmost Importance to organized
labor from coast to coast. Should
the Supreme Court uphold the
right of a Judge to issue an in
junction restraining union from
bannering a shop or plant, organ
lied labor would overnight lose
one of the most vital weapons in
it's slim arsenal for use against
labor-hating employers.
The case as it has developed
has been a most interesting one.
For three years, the independent
Union of All Workers, with its
chief locals in Austin and Albert
Lea, has been a union bulwark in
the most reactionary section OF
Minnesota, the rich southern agri-
cultural area. The I.U.A.W. has
not been sslNoassf--! in unionizing
the packing plants in these COM
munities-it has also organized
other industries, such as the truck
drivers, retail clerks, mattresses
beauty shop operators, ETC.. Appar-
emily the local business men are
bitterly opposed to granting union
conditions to their workers. When
a beauty shop operation set up a
branch in Austin, few months
ago, leased to a woman called
Stella, the fight began on the
Austin Union.
The union had already organi.
zed the other beauty shops in
town. While reaching an agree.
ment on union rates, a minimum
set of prices had been agreed I'D.

would bring union wages to the

INJUNCTION AGAINST AUSTIN
UNION LEADER CONCERNS ALL LABOR


presented to Stella, who stalled
around for several days and then
had her attorneys get out "a, new
injunction against the union. Ju-
dge Peterson said that the new
contract had changed nothing.
Union pickets judged the injunc-
ton illegal, as it was in direct
contravention to- the Minnesota
Anti-Injunction Law, and continu-
ed their bannering of the unfair
beauty shop, which threateed to
bring anarchy into the trade. On
Oct. s, McCourt and, sVoorhees
were suddenly. arrested on war
rants, though neither had parti-

time have those actually doing
the bannering been. molested, nor
has there ever been any violence

of a doubt that the business in
terests were out to ''getS''t1e I'm

SPANISH WORKERS
DETERMINED

terday-on July 17-that General
Franco seized Morocco and began
the conquest of Spain by his Fas-
cist army. The intervening period
has been marked by successive de-
feats of the Popular Front CO.
vernment, which, despite the mar
velous heroism of the Spanish
workers, has demonstrated its
utter inability to initiate the re-
evolutionary tasks which history
demands of it.
With relentless hammer blows,
Francois counted-revolutionaries
have driven back, back; for the
past twelve days. Madrid itself
has been murederously besieged.
Fearful for their lives, govern
ment officials fled the capital last
week and established headquar-
tiers at Valencia, 100 miles east
of Madrid; there it sits in per-
manent session, receiving hourly
reports from the Emergency De-
tense Committee in Madrid. Az
ma, head of the government, an
nounces that the Cortes (parlia-
ment) will be shortly summoned
to Valencia.
The achievements of the work
: ers of Catalonia (where the work
ers, not the Republicans" are in
power) stand out in sharp con-
trast with the defeats of TIE Pop
ular Front government. 1t is the
Catalonians workers who have sup
piled a steady stream of planes
and tanks to- the Madrid defend
ers. Last Wednesday when it
seemed Madrid would fall, it was
the Catalonian workers who rush
ed large reinforcements. into de-
Tense positions alosg the MANI
aners River at the northeast Of
Madrid and drove back the Fas-
cists. Appearing with the Cata-
lonian work-sOldiers was an inter-
national army of workers from
Poland, Belgium, Germany, Italy
and France.
On Thursday an insurgent avia-
tor deserted to the Popular Front
government with German plane
loaded with bombs announcing
that Germany was flying planes
directly to the Spanish Fascists,
crossing France at night. He said
many Germans and Italians were
serving in technical posts with
the Spanish Fascists. The day be-
fore, the International Non-lnter-
vention Committee, sitting IN
London, acquitted Russia Of all
charges placed by Italy that Rus
STA had given any aid to the
Spanish government.
During the past week, the
fighting has been carried on in
the third dimension-that is, in
the air over Madrid. The Fascists
have had the better Of the air

government having the edge in
bringing down opponent planes
The government has finally estab-
lished an air base near Madrid
with 70 pursuit planes equipped
with from two to four machine
guns each. On Monday, the Moori

foothold in the northwest section

THE W ORLD
IN REVIE W
By JOEL SEIDMAN
Labor Economist and Educator
Instructor at BrOOkWOOd
Labor College

ANNDOA - c3~~Ne5N
The Supreme Court has agreed
to hear arguments on the consti-
tutionality of the Wagner Labor
Relations act. Before many
months pass, we may expect d
decision holding that measure un-
constitutional.
In itself that will be small loss.
The measure is so poorly drawn
that the cuort, if it so desired,
could hold it constitutional, and
by Interpretation make it practic
ally valueless to labor.
What is important, however, is
that the right of congress to le-
gislate On social and economic
questions be established. With
court as reactionary as the pres
ent one, this will have to be done
by constitutional amendment. Of
the various amendments thus far
proposed, the Farmers and Work
ers' Rights Amendment (S.J.R.
249) is by far the best.
It is also important that labor
learn to draft effective legisla-
ton. There is no excuse for pre-
senting to congress such loosely
drawn measures as the Wagner
act.
In the past labor has typically
waited for some liberal legislator
to draft a bill, and then it has
given uncritical support. This ex-
plains why so many measures,
Enthusiastically hailed by labor,
urn out to be of little value.
Labor will never make. legisla-
i've progress until it learns to-
lraft its own measures, using its
'wn technical staff for that pur-
pose.
SLOW POLITICAL PROGRESS
In this campaign the American
labor movement has made slow
and painful political progress.
Labor's Non-Partisan league,
formed by group of unions to
campaign for Roosevelt, repres-
ents the old non-partisan policy
of the AT. of L. carried out with
vigor. One may disagree entirely
with the non-partisan point of
view, and yet rejoice that at least
labor has actively stirred itself in
this campaign,
1t would have been far more
hopeful, of course, had the league
anywhere supported labor candi-
dates or nominated candidates Of
its own. Even in New York, where
its adherents formed the Ameri.
can Labor party, it failed to de
this. This failure makes it unlike
ly that '-~~U'nA labor party vii
ever grow out of this particular
effort.
And yet there has been politica
ferment in the ranks of labor tina
is all to the good. The masse.
have been stirred with politica
enthusiasm-and perhaps, having
had one last fling at supporting
old party candidates, they may a
the next election nominate candi
dates Of their own on a genuin
labor party ticket.
