mination Of the contractual relation

Mr.. White was principal witness for
the company. Louis Leonard, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Amalgamated,
and two steel strikers also testified.
Policy Of Fair Dealing"
Our first policy is one of fair deal
ing with the men," Mr.. White said,
reading then from printed statement
Of labor policy to the effect that the
company would bargain collectively"
with representative of any group of
employees. First responsibility for en-
ploye relations. he read, was vested
in departmental heads
With particular emphasis he read a
provision that employees we're to be free
OF coercion from any source" and
that employees not desiring to be rep
resented by any one need not be 80
represented.
Senator La Toilette then asked Mr..
White to reconcile this policy with a
speech by Mr.. Girdler before a meet
ing OF steel magnates in New York
City
The excerpts from the Girdler speech
follow:
I'VE are not going to recognize the
Amalgamated association (of iron,
steel and tin workers, nucleus of the
g. w. o. c. or any professional union. ="
Mr.. Girdler added that he hoped
any other steel official considering
such . step would get it out Of his
mind. because it will only make it
harder for the rest of u.s.
I have little farm with a few
apple trees and before resign my
self to dealing with John Lewis will
go back there to raise apples and po-
tatoes," Mr.. Girdler continued.

CLAW MACHINES
BAN IS UPHELD
Appeals Court Holds They
Are Games of Chance
and Not of Skill.

Claw machines are not games Of
skill and therefore cannot be operated
legally here. the United States Court
Of Appeals decided today in Affirming
District Court ruling in a test case
filed by Mrs. Freda Boosalis.
The appeal grew out of the loss by
Mrs, Boosalis, 1900 Park road NV.
of a replevin suit which followed
seizure Of three machines In the Shore
ham Drug Co.'S store more than q
year ago.
The proprietor of the drug store
was charged with a law violation. but
the charge subsequently was dropped
Mrs. Boosalis, owner Of the machines.
filed suit to recover them. claiming
they were games of skill She is re-
ported to have owned 40 of the 800
machines once operated here.
Player Has Little Control.

the higher court said. Ito detail the
evidence introduced in respect to the
4uCoCAol& W41CUAlCA VI A1oC Cl1C AAdIAl41lCo
operate as gambling devices. Sun. :,
it to say that in respect of playt
operating a machine according to
directions, the evidence was uncon-
troverted that, except to the extent
that he could. by turning the locator
handle. suspend the claw in the vicin-
ity of the desired article. the opera
ton of the machine was beyond his
control
1T was further uncontroverted that
even if the claw were suspended imme-
diately over an article there are
chances that the claw may not strike
the article j.. that If it does strike
the article it may not grip the article.
or, having gripped the article, that
it may slip of, without in any way
moving the article, or that, if it does
lift the article the article may drop
off before reaching the chute, or may
be knocked of by some other articles
in the way. So it was put by the trial
Judge and, we think, accurately"
Designed to Favor House.
Continuing, the Court of Appeals
added:
There was evidence in the case
which tended to esta blish that an
experienced player, going beyond di-
rections. could, by rapidly spinning
the locator handle after the claw
had seized an article and moved 1t
upward. cause the boom to carry
the claw and article more swiftly
than it otherwise would to q point
over the chute; and that this de-
creased the chances Of the articles
being dropped on the way, so that
such a player would have substantial
success in obtaining an article once
1t had been grasped by the claw.
But the appellant can not escape
the force of the statute because
player may, by going beyond the di-
rections upon the machine. achieve a
skill resulting in substantial success in
obtaining articles once they have been
grasped by the claw. 1t would over
strain credulity to conclude that the
appellant set these machines up to
be operated beyond directions and In
a manner which would enable skilled
player to get valuable item Of mer-
chandise for nickel. Obviously the
machines were adapted, devised and
designed to operate in favor Of the
house"
The case was argued for the Gov
ernment by Assistant United States At
torney John j. Wilson.
