The Cherry Tree
Where We Hotchet Out
The Truth
. BUSINESS MINDS
. MODERN MACHINE
q STORM TROOPERS
. STILL ARREST JEWS

A business news agency reports
that in the background of many
"business minds" is the idea that as
soon as prosperity returns, the old
normal" longer work days will be re-
stored
This is a delusion on the part of the
business minds" Such an idea is con-
trary to progress.
Once shorter hours are established,
whether by law or by organized work
ers, there will be no going back to old
standards.
Interests that even dream of restor-
ing former long hours do not realize
what has happened and is happening.
Progress means shorter hours and
higher pay, in line with industry's in
creased productivity, as repeatedly
pointed out by organized labor.
Business" or other "minds" yearn-
ing for longer hours may rest assured
there will be no return to old condi-
tions.
The modern industrial machine cam
not any longer function and hold to-
gether under the rules of 1929.
Some think it can, but they are mis-
taken.
There must be progress, in accord
ance with the principles of democracy.
If we can save democracy we can go
on, as we should, to build finer and
happier civilization. -
The ideas of the people are pretty
sound, if only special interests do not
turn their steps backward.
The best insurance America can
have against going backward is
strong American Federation of Labor
not just lot of unions, but great
network of unions knit together with
in the American Federation of La
Dor.
If employers and some others can
keep unions apart they can check
progress. No worker should be fooled
about that.
A united labor movement is the one
thing that America needs above every
thing else. With that we shall 90
steadily forward
"Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad"
The old Greek proverb comes to
mind when reading the news from
Nazidom the last few days.
Storm troopers arrested 1000 Jews
in one night in Berlin. A quota has
been established for Jews in high
schools; there are 5000 in Vienna
high schools now, and the quota is
$50.
1t is openly boasted that every
Jewish shop will be closed or taken
over by the end of July.

JUDGE VETOES COMPULSORY WORK

THE legal power of a United States Court
whose function is to enforce the American
Constitution and laws, to compel members of .
labor union to work was recently considered il
Philadelphia by Federal Judge Oliver b. Dickin
son, who negatived the proposition.
The matter came before Judge Dickinson or
a petition of the New Bedford Fish Company OF
New Bedford, Mass, for an order restraining the
American Federation of Labor United Seafood
Workers Union No. 203S4 from refusing to handle
it's shipments in Philadelphia until the firms at
torney looked up legal precedents.
The union the court was told, refused to touch
the firms products because of labor dispute in
New Bedford which the attorney for the concern
contended affected another company AS a result
of the unions action it was alleged that forty
barrels of mackcre spoiled in Philadelphia
In considering the application for the in
junction Judge Dickinson expressed doubts that
any court has the power 'to make a man work if
he doesn't want to-.
"Wc don't ask that" counsel for the New Bed
ford firm answered. "We want an order on the
union not to discriminate against us. 1t is hand
ling the fish products of other people, and we are
entitled to the same consideration"
Not to be caught by this sophistcation, Judge
Dickinson retorted: But it all comes back to the
go to work.
Answering the speclous reasoning of the firms
counsel asking for delay in the final action of the
court until legal precedents could be examined
Judge Dickinson said: Il don't think you'll fino
any
The Court and the attorney for the company
discussed at length the difference between I;
mandatory order to work and 4 restraining or.
der to stop discrimination" But Judge Dickn.
son adamant in his conviction that the pur
pose of the injunction was to force members OF
a labor union to work. He found no authority
either in the Constitution of the United States
or in the statute law to enforce compulsory labor
on the members Of labor union. His position
was buttressed by the provisions Of the Norris
LaGuardia Injunction Act definitely restricting
the power Of Federal judges to issue njunctions
in labor disputes.

IN CONVENTION

\ TONDAY morning at nine o'clock delegates
1Vl from the various local unions affiliated with
the National Brotherhood Of Operative Potters
will meet with the national officials of the organ,
Aation in the jefferson Hotel near Atlantic Cty's
famed boardwalk to thoroughly discuss the prob
lens confronting the trade.
The progress made during the past year will be
reviewed in the Officers Report and plan of
action mapped out Tor the coming year.
A large number of resolutions, submitted by
the locals, will be taken apart and put back to-
gether again in committee meetings before they
are given to the convention for consideration
Every angle will have been studied so that no mis-
take, detrimental to the organization, will be al
lowed to go through because of slip-shod methods
Resolutions pertaining to working conditions
and wages, which are passed by the delegates
will be submitted to the manufacturers at the
conference later in the year when representatives
of both groups meet around the table to talk over
their mutual problems sanely and sensibly.
The National Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters is a great organization, made great by the
fine leadership they have enjoyed and by the calm
deliberate and panstaking work of it's delegates
in convention. Delegates are faced with hare
work. but many years of success proves they
are equal to the task before them.

A DECISION OF MUCH
SIGNIFICANCE
(FrOm the Typographical JOurnaD


A recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court declared un-
constitutional city ordinance which
prohibited the distribution of circulars
because "it strikes at the very found
alton of freedom of the press by sub
jecting it to censorship and license"
The decision asserts that ''the liberty
of the press is not confined to news
papers and periodicals. 1t necessarily
embraces pamphlets and circulars"
This decision is of greater import
ance than to many is apparent. Those
employers and city officials who have,
with unnecessary force or drastic
punishment, interfered with union
pickets and sympathizers whose only
"crime" was the distribution of cir
culars setting forth unions side of
a labor controversy henceforth may
do so only by challenging the authority
of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Upon too few occasions has the
daily press seen fit to give equal pub
licity to the cause of unionists as is
granted employers in times of labor
differences. When union men and
women attempted to use the only out
let of printed publicity left them OBJ
solete city ordinances have been re-
vived or new ones passed outlawing
this harmless method, and police or
hired stooges have manhandled the
distributors in the fashion popular
lied by Hitler.

William Gibbs McAdoo, Senator
from California, is in the news on two
counts. One, he is a member of the
committee which will look into the
alleged political uses of relief; a warm
subject in a campaign year. Two,
the wild cries of anguish now coming
from railroad circles cannot help re-
minding countless people of the days
of the World War, when railroad man.
ayers bungled their business SO badly
that the government had to take over
the roads and put Brer McAdoo in
charge.
McAdoo was born in Georgia, rs
years ago next October. He studied
law and practiced it a spell-no am
bilious young Southerner escapes that
destiny. But he gained nationwide
fame by putting through the first tun-
nels under the Hudson River.
He became Secretary of the Treas
ury under President Wilson; and it fell
to him to supervise the starting of the
Federal Reserve System. Then we SO
into the war; and the railroad system
turned to chaos. 1t seemed as if
every railroad yard was clogged. The
French army reduced it's rations once
and the Italian army twice because
the food supplies couldn't get to the
ports.
Then the government took over
land McAdoo carried through. The re-
suits speak for themselves. And rail.
road workers will not forget that they
got from McAdoo increases of wages
which it would have taken strike to
wiring from the proprietors.
McAdoo was the leading candidate
for many ballots at the Democratic
convention of 1924 in New York; but
the convention at last named John w

turned Roosevelt's majority into q
Landslide at the convention in Chicago
in 1882.

The American Medical Association
is riding for fall that is likely to
hurt. At the meeting of the House
of Delegates-the governing assembly
of that body-at San Francisco, the
president, DR.. Irving Abel of Louis

Four delegates from four states in

AS samples of the way Miss Roche
can swing an ak on reactionary doc

nual rate Of AT per cent higher for
acute illness and 81 per cent higher
for chronic illness than corresponding
rates for families with incomes of

"The annual days of disability in the
non-relief population with incomes un-
der $1,000 shows a rate more than
twice that of the higher income
groups"
The third of the nation that is ill
fed, ill-clad, ill-housed is particularly
ill-doctored, despite the fact that doc

In a recent radio speech, Senator
William H. King of Utah pointed out
that in the opinion of many people, the
stupendous appropriations being made
by our government for military and
naval purposes are inconsistent with
our professions for world peace, for,
he stated, cit is obvious that if this
nation with no menacing foes expends
billions for ornaments, the people of
some other countries may regard our
course as hostile to other nations and
tainted with imperialism.
"The choice before the world today
is cooperation or conflict, peace or
war, progressive disarmament to that
end or a mad race to increase both Of
fensive and defensive weapons. 1t is
not sufficient merely to think of
peace" he concluded, 1--WE must organ
ize for peace. We must not be caught
in the coils of militaristic and navalis-
tic forces which, if not controlled by
civilized nations, will precipitate the
world into a devastating war, de-
structive of civilization"
