NEWSPAPER GUILD
RAPS PUBLISHERS
Haywood Broun Declares
Union Will Be Governed
by Own Decisions.
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
NEW YORK, July 1.-The Ameri-
can Newspaper Guilds president. Hey
wood Broun, said in a statement yes
teroay the guild would be governed
by the decision of its own convention
rather than that of the publishers. y
In Chicago Tuesday, SOS publishers
representing II associations con-
demned the closed news and editorial
shop as menace to freedom of the
press.
They might have stated their case
much more briefly-'We are against
the guild'-and have covered the
ground" said Broun in formal state
tween the closed shop and the guild
shop
Economic Issues Declared Involved.
The publishers declared they were
treating the problem of newspaper
labor relations as matter Of journa-
listic and public principle, not as an
economic issue"
To that portion Of the Chicago reso-
lutionS, Broun replied: 1t is mac
curate to say that economic issues are
not involved The American News
paper Guild was formed to better
wages and working conditions of news
paper men and women and to raise
the ethical standards of the craft
The guild has always felt that the
guild shop mot the closed shop was
necessary to achieve and maintain
these goals. The publishers in their
convention have undertaken to criti-
Cize the organization of the guild, its
leadership and many of its decisions
expressed in the recent st. Louis con-
vention.
Likened to Girdler Position.
The guild was not formed with the
primary object Of pleasing the pub
fishers. In effect the newspaper pub
fishers are holding to the philosophy of
Tom Girdler president of the Republic
Steel Co.. who has refused to sign
contract with the Committee for In
duStrial OrganiZatiom.
They seem to say that they will deal
with union only if it is properly led
and they reserve to themselves the
right to decide what is proper"

BITTER FIGHT ON
IN THE HO[YLAND
British Attempts to Settle
Dispute Between Jews
And Arabs

Jerusalem July (AP)-Bitter op-
position among the rank and file of
both Jews and Arabs toward Britain's
proposed surgical operation" on Pal
estine was considered in some Brit
ish circles today as the forerunner Of
possible united front of Jews and
Arabs.
The British royal commission pro-
posed last night, the Holy Land be
divided between sovereign Jews and
Arabian states with few British
Mandates over the holy cities of Jeru-
salem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem.
Both Arabian and Jewish masses
were astounded today at, the radical
solution of the British government of
their problem. It was suggested that
the age-old revivals would embark on
an attempt to work out their prob
lem around the council table.
Among the stern-faced population of
two races which heard last nights
report in Hebrew and Arabic, were
many listening to a radio for the
first time in their lives.
It was generally thought that the
commissions plan-subject to League
of Nations approval-was something
sensational in hitherto unheard of in
the history of the strife torn country.
While a strong undercurrent of OBJ
position formed, no disorders had been
reported.

10y a. HASt% FIX VIII.
Raleigh, July 8.-The decision of
Chairman Frank L. Dunlap and Of
the State Highway and Public Works
commission to post notices in all of
the prisons and prison camps inform
ing the prisoners that whipping of
prisoners is still permitted by law and
can be used as a method of punish
ment in the prison system was reach
ed in the belief that this action would
put the prisoners on notice, improve
prison morale and thus make it I'M
necessary to use the lash except in
extreme cases, Chairman Dunlap said
today. There are indications, however
that there is some back-tracking and
something of locking the stable door
after the horse has been stolen in this
action, according to some very au-
thentic reports that have been current
for some time. Some observers also
believe that there are some very de-
finite traces of prison division poll
tics involved in the whipping notices
incident.
Chairman Dunlap maintains that
so far as he knows, there have been
no more prisoners whipped within
been chairman of the highway COM
mission, than before he took over
that office, He also maintains that
the only reason it was decided to
publish the notice to prisoners of the
adoption of new prison rule permit
ting the whipping of prisoners, was
because in many prison camps and
units the prisoners had gotten the
idea that the law permitting the lash
ing of prisoners had been repealed
and that it was now against the law
for any one to whip them.
"The adoption of this rule permit
ting whipping merely puts the pri-
soners on notice that the law adopted
back in 1917 is still in effect and that
prisoners can still be whipped when
the offense seems to justify it," Chair
man Dunlap said. According to this
law which has been in effect all this
time, and which has been envoked
from time to time all along, a prison
er may be whipped on order of the
chairman of the highway commission
or such a person as he may desig-
nate"
This same law also provides that
"a hours must elapse between the
time a prisoner commits an offense
and the administering of whipping,
that the whipping must be done in
the presence of the prison physician
or chaplain and that it must be adj
ministered by some one other than
