CHICAGO, ILL.,, July ga Fedora.
Court ruling that an employer may
discharge workers who seize property
IN sit-down strikes appeared headed
today for Supreme Court review.
The decision was rendered last night
by the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals.

lions Board order finding the Fansteel

labor practices and directing rein
statement of 80 men discharged. Feb
ruary II, 1887, when they occupied the
tompany's North Chicago plant.
Belief was expressed in informed
Washington quarters that the board
would appeal. Charles Fahy, general
counsel for the N. L. r. B., com.
n1ented: THE reasoning Of the board
was correct; that of the majority OF
the court WAS incorrect"
Director Takes Issue.
Leonard c. Bajork, regional director
Of the board, also took issue with the
courts findings. Van A. Bittner, re-
sional director Of the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee, said he ex-
pected the Government will amply
take care of the situation"
The workers status at the time they
occupied the plant as strikers was the
principal issue.
The court majority, Judges Will M.
Sparks and Walter c. uLindley, held
the workers had lost their status as
employees when the company dis
charged them and hence there was
10 longer a majority of petitioners

Cause for DISCHARGE.
. 1T is urged by the board that the
commission of crime by strikers does
not preclude their right to bargain
with petitioner" the majority opinion
said. This we admit, provided they
Still are employees and represent ma
iority of all.
What we hold is that there was
Just cause for discharge, it was exer-
cised, and those who have not been re-
employed are not employees and were
hot at the time of the findings and
order of the board"
In a dissenting opinion, Judge
Walter E. Treanor contended the
strikers remained employees for the
duration of the strike He also said
Illegal acts by employees did not give
the company right to unlawfully
defy the Labor Board
The courts majority said: "It can
not be denied that an employer is
warranted in discharging his employees,
and severing that relationship when
they take and retain exclusive pos
session of his property against his
will"

Germans Seen Softening.
Some London circles felt the talks
between Chamberlain and Won Dirksen
and between Lord Halifax and Capt
Wiedemann indicated considerable
softening" of the German attitude.
But this optimistic belief appar.
emily found no counterpart in Paris
where the feeling was reported that
the German gesture" of peace might
be an adroit move by Hitler to sep
arate France and Britain.
This French opinion persisted in
some quarters despite the much
advertised solidarity of the Anglo
French position, which King Georges
visit to Paris was widely said to have
strengthened.
Some French observers argued this
way:
If Hitler's peace" moves are turned
down by France and Czechoslovakia,
what Is to prevent the German chan
cellor from saying, We'll, I made a
definite attempt to obtain a peaceful
solution to this problem and since
you will not accept it, I wash nv

VXTHEN Charley Yates Of Atlanta
wv won the British golf cham
pionship a while back he was the
second native son to capture that
honor and gave that city all but two
of the worlds major golf titles. Only
the Professional Golfers Associa-
ton championship and the Western
Open crown have escaped Atlanta
golfers over span of Is years.
1t all started in 1909 when George
Sargent won the U. S. Open and
the Canadian Open three years
later. Then Alexa Sterling had
an impressive run of victories, TAX
ing the Southern Women's cham
pionship in 1915, 1916 and 1919. She
also took the United States Wom-
ans championship in 1915, 1915 and
1919.
Bobby Jones began to add luster
to Atlanta's golf reputation by win.
ming the Southern Amateur title in
1917, repeating in 1920 and 1922.
The holder Of probably more golf
titles than any other mortal, Jones
has to his credit the United States
Amateur, which he won five times;
the U. s. Open, which he won four
times; the British Open, three
times; and the British Amateur,
once, in addition to many tourna-
ments of lesser importance.
Other Atlantans who have helped
make the city the worlds golf CAPT.

Southern amateur championship in
1921 and 1928, Watts Gum who also
took this title in 1928 and won the

Southern Women's title in 1887 and

he said, no country in the world had
as yet worked out a method for deal
ing with the most acute unemploy-
ment situation in the history of the
world.
He noted that public works ex-
penditures had worked better in
Sweden than in this country, be-
cause the Swedish government had
been able in recent prosperous
years to put on heavy taxes and pay
OF its borrowings. He said the
Swedish method was being given
close study. The President warned
that the prosperity which vast out
lays for rearmament appeared to
have brought to European nations
was unsound. When the munitions
plants close down, he predicted, the
nations of Europe will find them
selves weaker in an economic sense
than ever before. No nation, he
argued, could spend its way back
to prosperity by laying out vast
sums in unproductive goods like
weapons of war.

this decree, according to officials,

there were $50 convictions on espi-
onage charges in 1887. This year
such convictions have averaged
nearly four week.

NEVENTY-FIVE years after they
~ faced each other in deadly con-
flict, some 1000 old soldiers gath
cred in friendly concert to celebrate
the great Battle of Gettysburg. The
Stars and Stripes and the Stars and
Bars flew side by side on the once
bloody field, and the veterans of
the Northern and Southern armies
that fought there in one Of history's
biggest battles wandered together
over the hills and meadows or sat
in their tented city, exchanging REM
iniscences and renewing old friend
ships.
The war department had done ev-
erything possible to make the now
feeble old warriors comfortable and
safe, and the Pennsylvania National
Guard and Boy Scouts attended
carefully to their every want. There
were feasts, parades, and military
displays in plenty, but the veterans
were not called on to do the enter
tanning. They were the entertained.
In the Gettysburg National Mill
terry park, comprising the battle
field, had been erected beautiful
peace memorial, and President
Roosevelt was there to dedicate it
on the afternoon Of July 8. At
the top of the monuments shaft is a
burner for natural gas that sup
plies "The Flame Of Eternal
Peace" This was kindled by the
President as the climax of the days
celebration.
There were no re-enactments of
battle scenes. The observance was
all of peace, and peace and harmony
of all the land breathed all through
the talks made by Mr.. Roosevelt
and other speakers.
From a common platform Com
mander-in-Chief Overton H. Mennet
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and Commander-in-Ch Chief John M.
Claypool of the United Confederate
Veterans spoke to their comrades.

Baseball men will tell you it
wouldn't be such a miracle, after
all, if these two Ohio teams should
finish first in their respective cir
cults this year. They almost did it
once before, missing each other by
only one year. Cincinnati won the
National league pennant in 1919 and
Cleveland won the American league
flag in 1920.
Both teams have been on or near
the top since the season began. Both
have added some sensational rookie
players who have been factors in
their rise. Both showed their
strength by the number of their
players selected on the All-Star
teams this year. Cincinnati came
up with five-Catcher Ernie LOm-
bardi, Pitchers Wander Meer and
Derringer, First Baseman McCor-
mick and Outfielder Goodman.
Cleveland drew three-Pitchers Al
