Federal Court Refuses
To Enjoin Big Employer

New York City (ILNS) A federal
court has again come to the aid of
big employer The United States
Circuit of Appeals, ruling without an
opinion, refused the National Labor
Relations Board a temporary injunc-
tion under which Remington Rand
Inc, large manufacturers Of office
equipment, would have been restrain
ed from unfair labor practices and
would have had to re-employ work
ers dismissed in violation Of the Wag-
ner act.
The court filed memorandum in
which it expressed reluctance to un-
settle conditions at the plants in view
of the apparent peace now prevail
ing. 1t pointed out that hearings
were scheduled in the fall on the petit
tion of the National Labor Relations
Board for permanent injunction.

Police Careless With Truth
If the objective of Senator's La Fol-
lette and Thomas was to give the
largest possible number of Chicago
policement chance to perjure them
selves, they carried out their maneu-
yer with Napoleonic skill. And the
policement seized every chance, and
seemed proud of themselves. Law
renee j. Lyons, one of the group, at
a temporary lull in the questioning
looked up at some men standing near,
grinned and queried:
"How'm | doin'?"
They hadn't the heart to tell him.
Later, he identified a club in a police
mans belt as "a crease in his pants I"
Later still, he was asked what the
police did to help the injured after
the ruction was over.

were still in pursuit er-er-not in
pursuit, just advancing"

Value of Unions

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) Labor
organization and collective bargain
ing have served to raise the economic
standard of American workers, the
Rev. ]. w. R. Mcguire, told the In
stitute of Industry of the National
Council of Catholic Women, meeting
here. Father Mcguire said:
IF labor was left to the free forces
of competition, it would soon destroy
itself. There are many reasons why
unionism and collective bargaining
have benefited the laboring ranks, but
the most important reason is the eco
nomic one"
Father Mcguire also termed union
ism the greatest weapon the worker
has to combat Fascism and commu-
nism.

BIG TEXTILE MILL
Ordered to Cease War On
UniOnism

Washington, ID. &. (lLNS)-The
National Labor Relations Board has
isued an order requiring the Moores-
Vile Cotton Mills of Mooresville,
North Carolina, to cease and desist
from discouraging membership in
Local 1921, United Textile Workers
of America, and from in any manner
interfering with the exercise of its
The ruling calls on the company to
offer reinstatement to eight workers
whose union activity moved the com
pany to refuse them unemployment
after strike in September, 1885.
The board holds that the eight work
ers have not lost their status as EN-
ployes, and the company is accord
ingly ordered to make good their loss
in wages, minus any amounts earned
by them during the period since the
strike.
The Mooresville Mills manufacture
approximately Is per cent of the
towels made in the United States.
It's annual gross sale of towels,
dress goods, flannel and other cotton
fabrics are approximately three mil
lion dollars.
The boards decision takes notice
of the disastrous effects on commerce
caused by labor controversies in the
cotton textile industry. A board ex-
hibit reveals that ninety-four strikes
and lockouts, involving issues similar
to those involved in the Mooresville
strike, took place in the cotton textile
industry in 1884 and the first seven
months Of 1885. These controversies
involved 290,154 men and resulted ir
3,958,891 man-days of idleness. The
decision states:
"The cotton textile industry is one
which is singularly characterized by
constantly recurring labor strife
Vicious competition has brought low
wages and long working hours to the
workers employed in that industry
To improve their wages and working
conditions, employees have attempted
to organize but their efforts have fre
quently proved unsuccessful. Inter
ference with organization activities
by employers, and the failure Of EN-
ployers to recognize the organizations
of employees, have been constant
source Of unrest"

Witnesses Called By La Toilette Committee Stick
To Stories They Acted in Self Defense, Despite
Pictorial Evidence Giving Lie to Testimony

Washington, D. C. ILNS)-The
renewed hearings of the La Toilette
civil Liberties committee help to ex-
plain why Chicago has such a high
crime record. Part of it must be due
to the incredible, impenetrable stu
pidity of Chicago police.
In one day, four Chicago police
officers were on the stand. All of
them knew that the committee had
the reports of outside observers, some
of them trained observers, on the
Memorial Day massacre in South
Chicago. All of them knew that a
moving picture film in the hands of
the committee told the whole story
in a way that no verbal denials could
shake. Most of them were shown in
dividual pictures which utterly con-
tradicted their testimony.
Yet man after man repeated and
stuck to the obvious fake that the
police were attacked by strikers, and
acted in self defense! Their stories
would not have fooled 12-year child
but they stuck to 'em.
Workers Called "Reds"
Some of their replies deserve to be
preserved in a library of imbecilities.
Cant Janooc Moonn., oe +bo o+l,
and goth precincts in Chicago bore
down heavily on Communism" in
fact, he had the whole "mob" Of
marching workers communists"
They're anti-government, an they
re gettin' money from Russia he
declared. In another answer to ques-
tioning, he said that the strikers, be-
ing communists, wanted to beat up
the police.
James P. Altman, police commits
sioner of Chicago, who declared that
he fully approved everything the po-
lice did that day, was asked why he
inquired into the political affiliations
of the members of the mob"
Il didn't ask for their political of
filiations," said Altman. Il just
wanted to know how many of them
were communists"
Makes Damaging Admission
Capt. Thomas Kilroy, in charge of
the area where the trouble came, act
ually testified that the police fired in
the air. He admitted that he dubbed,
ACROSS THE BACK, man who was
threatening him. La Toilette showed
him picture, and asked him when he
thought it was taken.
Right after the trouble started"
said Kilroy
Then how do you account for the
fact that the crowd is so far away
from the police.?" asked La Toilette.
"You don't see single man, not
in uniform, who has his face toward
the police, do you?" La Toilette per-
sisted.
But when his attention was called to
three policemen, with drawn revolv-
ers, Kilroy said it looked to him as if

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

Minneapolis, July 13-During
the summer there are a very few
hot hours during each day. These
are hours in which no woman
leaves the cool of her home unless
she must To rest during these
hours is the real thing. Afternoon
rest adds years of youth to a wo-
mans life. There are many wom-
en-, however, who cannot rest.
They are too active to sleep during
the middle of the day. For these
women 1 suggest relaxation in. the
form of knitting or crocheting.
They or their daughters will need
sweaters next winter. A fashion
able sweater to make for the cold
days to come, is one of Swiss in
spiration. The sleeves are long and
close fitting. The body Of the
sweater is nodded to the figure.
When the knitting or crocheting Is
finished take few bright colored
yarns and embroider or cross
stitch small figures or flowers
around the neckline, on the should
er caps and the sleeve cuffs. If
you prefer, do a small allover de-
sign Of flowers.

total about 80 billion dollars, 36k
billion dollars Of which have been
issued by the government. These
bonds are held nearly altogether
by banks and wealthy individuals
and corporations as a reserve. I
have pending an amendment to
the constitution permitting the
taxing of all future public bond is
sues but as such proposal has
been constantly before Congress
for the past fifteen years without
action being taken I am not overly
sanguine Of success.
Farm Loan interest Bill
At the time this is written the
President has not acted upon the
bill to continue the 81 percent
rate on Federal Land Bank loans
and to reduce the interest rate on
Commissioner Loans from five to
four per cent. The measure has
passed both houses of Congress
and I hope it will receive early
presidential approval. The farm in
debtedness is about 91a billion dol
lars so this legislation would save
the American farmer 95 million
dollars in interest next year. The
Presidents objection to the legisla-
ton is that it would cost the gov
eminent about 81 million dollars
in revenue for interest but to offset
this let me call attention to the
fact that the Federal Land Banks
showed a net profit of 81 million
dollars last year so the effect of
the legislation would be to give
the farmer money at cost and this
should be done without further de-
lay.
Senate Debating Court Bill
The Senate has finally taken up
the bill to reorganize the Supreme
Court and it promises to be a
knock-down, drag-out fight. The
bill now before the Senate is a
compromise proposed by Senator
Robinson and provides for the ad-
dition of four new justices at the
rate of one for each calendar year
for each justice, who, having at
tanned the age of Is years, and
having served at least ten years on
the Supreme Court Bench, fails to
retire or resign upon attaining the
age limit. AS I see it, the compro-
mise is just as Objectionable as the
original proposal because it would
enable the President to gain com.
plete control of the last independ-
ent branch of the government as
Congress is already merely a
sounding board for the Executive
branch. A subservient Judiciary
plus a subservient Congress would
in effect give us a one-man gov
eminent and that is unthinkable.
My guess is that some sort of COM
promise will be put throgh as the
leaders in the Sen
ate have resurrected an old for
gotten Senate rule which is goinG

fore ineligible and we are not per.
sonally interested in the coachs
poll; but we are deeply interested
in the players poll. 1t is an easy
way to repay the players for the
credit they have brought their
state and university.
Last year, you will remember
Babe LeVoir, Minnesota's quarter
back, scored the first touchdown
ever scored by either side in this
All-Star spectacle. Unfortunately
however, the ease with which LIE.
Voir scored brought about the ulti-
mate defeat of the college side.
II knew between halves" said
Bernie Bierman, that we might
be beaten. The boys had scored SO
easily in the first half that they
believed they could win as they
pleased. I heard them shouting,
Well score two more next half.
These guys are easy I knew then
there would be a let down and my
worst fears were confirmed. The
boys went back into the game ov-
er-confident, played sloppy, care
less football and could not pull
themselves together when they dis
covered it was going to be harder
than they expected"
1t is true, however, that a col
lege squad that keeps its head and
plays hard has better than an even
chance to beat the professionals
In any event, it is one of the fin,
est spectacles in sport and the
chances to participate in it is ar
honor to be cherished. Also, it is
an honor that it is our duty to bes

Time Marches On
The summer is gradually slip
ping away and there is no immed-
late sign Of an adjournment before
Labor Day. Little of vital import
ance is being accomplished by the
Congress. Business in general Is
becoming increasingly alarmed at
the general lack of a leadership
which would remove the suspense
that hangs over the country and
this alarm, coupled with apprehen-
sion as to the administrations fu
ture attitude toward labor, has
hindered business and slowed up
trade in many sections of the
country. Business must be assured
of some permanent policy on the
part of the administration before
conditions can become settled.

Discomfort Breaking Up New Deal

Cured during the last few months

center public interest, but the
most vivid form of common inter-

and workers everywhere see grave
danger in the attempt of labor die
tators to enforce their edicts on
large masses of our people. This
common danger is the interest
which now binds the people of all
states in the battle which is start
ing against Communism and rad
icalism of all kinds. The people are
