COURT PROCEDURE IN TALK
ON SENATE FLOOR TODAY
Vandenburg Plans New
Child Labor Amend
ment Move

WASHINGTON, Mar. 80. (UP)
Sen. X. d. Mcclellan, D., Tenn,
charged today on the floor of the
senate that the United States su-
preme court shrouds it's procedure
in un-American secrecy and that
it fails to observe the rights of
litigants in deciding whether it
will hear the appeal Of cases.
McKellar's speech had been an
ticipated by supporters of Roose-
velt's supreme court reorganiza-
ton plan Us they were encouraged
by weekend radio addresses by
four southern governors, cham
pioning the administration propos-
ais.
The other highlight in sena-
torial circles today was the an
nouncement of Senator Vanden-
burg that he will introduce new
child labor amendment which
would limit and prohibit child la
Dor under 16 years Of age.
Sen. Robert NJ. La Toilette, p,
Wis, said in view Of checks of
senate sentiment he felt certain
that the presidents judiciary re-
organization proposal would pass
substantially in their present
form. He declined to predict what
the vote would be although it was
understood that checks by other
administration supporters showed
"about 81" senator's favored the
plan.

GREEN CONDEMNS
SIT DOWN STRIKE

WASHINGTON, March 20. -
(UP).-President William Green
of the American Federation of
Labor, last night condemned the
sit-down strike as illegal" warn
ed sharply that it would bring
permanent injury" to trade
unionism and called upon workers
to disavow it as an economic
weapon.
In a statement making public
for the first time the Federation's
position on sit-down strikes, Green
said bluntly that they would not
be supported by public opinion
and ultimately would force en-
actment of legislation providing
for compulsory arbitration, incor.
poration Of labor unions and
other "repressive' laws.
al therefore publicly warn la
Dor against this illegal pro-
cedure," he said. "Both person
ally and officially | disavow the
sitdown strike as part OF the
economic and organization policy
of the American Federation of
Labor" =, ,
Green's statement conceded
with publication of an analysis by
the legal department of the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers holding the sit-down strike
to be "illegal." The analysis was
made, the association said, after
Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins publicly had stated that the
sit-down strike has not yet been
proved to be illegal.
Citing several reasons why the
sit-down is illegal" the associa-
ton outlined four possibilities for
recourse by employers:
/. Self help by ejectment, using
no more force than is necessary.
2. Criminal actions for trespass,
conspiracy, extortion, forcible dis
seizin and malicious injury to
property.
8. Civil action for damages.
4. Injunctions to restrain IL
legal conduct.
Copies of the analysis were
sent TO all members of the asso-
citation. 81.
The Federation's position on
the sit-down strike was made
public by Green fewer than "a
hours after President Roosevelt
had conferred with congressional

Quarter will be "fully as per cent

can Automobile association an
nounced last night.

cities in the south are on the list
of major cities reporting an in

is necessary to prevent a 1887 &C
cident toll that will be the worst
in the history Of the automobile"
The association is making prep
arations for the southern traffic
safety conference opening here
April 5. ..
"While all southern cities are
not included in the list Of 13l ma
jor cities throughout the country

RAIL LAW COMPANION
TO THE WAGNER ACT

WASHINGTON. Mar. 20. (UP)
Tho United States supreme court
at It's FIRST opinion session In two
weeks today upheld the validity Of
tho Railway Labor Act Of 1884,
which was q piece Of companion
legislation to the Wagner Labor
Boasd Act, In les decision In q suit
involving tho Virsinisn Railway
Co., and its employees.
The court ruled that the act,
which was passed under the com.
meres clause Of the constitution,
was a proper measure to protect
interstate commerce from inter.
ruptions due to labor disputes.
1t was also indicated by this de-
cision that "back shop" employees
were properly included within the
legislation.
This question was specifically
raised by the Virginian Railway
company.
The decision, which vas unani.
nous, also served to uphold col
lective bargaining provisions Of
the Railway Labor Act.
This phase of the act had been
challenged by the carrier as an
invasion Of its right of contract.

A new battle of stamps has arisen
in Washington, this time over the
"demotion" of Gen. Robert E. Lee
on the new accent army stamp
showing the Confederate comman-
der and Gen. "Stonewall" jack
son. Only two stars of q Civil
War lieutenant general, instead Of
three of a full-fledged general, APP
pear on Lees collar, as this pc
ture of part of the new stamp
reveals. It's a rank outrage, say
admirers of Lee, to "break" the
great general on stamp that's
supposed to honor him.
