Most Unjust Judge

Ever the most anti-labor judge usually
tries to cloak his prejudice behind specious
legalisms and professions of impartiality.
But Judge Homer Fuller threw off the judi
cial mask almost completely in the Maytag
strike case at Newton, Iowa, and revealed
himself as a common strikebreaker.
The Maytag Co., seeking to impost a 10
per cent wage cut, secured an injunction
against its striking employees, which denied
them their legal rights under the Labor Re
lations Act and violated the constitutional
guarantees of free speech and free assembly.
Instead of protecting the workers against
this violation Of their legal rights, Judge
Fuller imposed fines of $500 and six-months
jail sentences upon Pres. James B. Carey
and other representatives of the United Elec-
trical, Radio & Machine Workers Union for
continuing ordinary strike activities.
Then, as if to make perfectly clear that he
was more concerned with breaking the strike
than upholding the law, Judge Fuller attend
ed a union mass meeting and offered to parole
these union officers and see that they did
not have to pay their fines, if they would call
off the strike and promise there would be no
further strikes at the Maytag plant.
The union officers have naturally refused
to betray their membership at the behest of
a strikebreaking judge, and the CLIO will take
every possible legal step to protect the work
ers' rights.
But this glaring judicial assault on labor
calls general attention to>a growing tendency
Of employers to use prejudiced courts to de-
prive their workers of the right to organize
and strike.
In addition to the scandalous invasion Of
labor's rights by the authorities in Jersey
City and New Orleans, we have the spectacle
of Judge Gothic in New York denying to the
striking employees of the Busch Jewelry Co.
their legal right to picket, and Of Vice Chan
cellor Berry Of the New Jersey Chancery
Court declaring that the absolute right of
property takes precedence over the qualified
right" of workers to free speech when they
seek to organize.
In mobilizing to resist all such invasions of
labor's rights, the CIO is not only protecting
the workers it represents but is also defend
ing the whole cause of democratic liberties
which all true Americans hold dear.-The

In an effort to help farm butter
manufacturers prepare their produce
to meet this order, paper manufac-
turers have prepared a special carton
labeled Montana Farm Butter"
which will meet the requirements of
the state besides making it a more
attractive product. The specially
prepared carton on hand resembles
the above cut and can be procured
in two color combinations, red and
white or green and white. There is
a de-waxed space OF one side left
for the name of the manufacturer,
which is a state requirement. If the
local printer does not wish to stock
these cartons, they can be procured
through the Dairy Division of the
State Department of Agriculture.
These cartons should not cost the
producer of butter over 81 per hun
dred, including the addition of the
name and address of the manufac-
turer.
The Dairy Division has had a num-
Der of calls from farmers making
butter who are anxious to procure
cartons. These requests have been
referred to firms in the state that
have on hand a supply of plain car
tons. Those who favor a plain carton
will be able to procure them from
any paper company in the state.
'If the product merits the con-
%sideration of the consumer at all, it
cannot help but increase its own
sales when prepared in a neat, sani-
tary and attractive CARTON" stated
B. F. Thrailkill, chief of the Dairy
Division of the State Department Of
Agriculture.

The War Aims of Loyalist Spain

The following is a summarization OF the
thirteen-point declaration of policy of the
Spanish Republic issued on May l, 1898, by
Premier Negrin:
Independence

and complete integrity of Spain; a Spain
entirely free from all foreign interference,
whatever it's character and origin.
II. The liberation of our territory from the
foreign military forces of invasion and from

The CLIO in the South

The South was described by President
Roosevelt as presenting "the Nations No.
economic problem" in his message to the
recent Washington conference of Southern
Spokesman called by the National Emergency
Council.
eWe have an economic unbalance in the
Nation as a whole" he said, "due to this very
condition of the South"
Reports submitted to the conference
showed that though richly endowed with
physical resources and having % per cent
of the Nations people, the South has only
16 per cent of the tools with which people
make their living; that more than half of the
rural South in 1886 made less than $765,
while many thousands have incomes as low
as $500; and that along with lower economic
standards go a lesser share OF educational and
other social advantages.
The recently passed wage-hour law is a
step in the direction of remedying this eco
nomic unbalance, by raising the wage and
living standards Of the most depressed sec
tons of the working population.
But it is a very modest step indeed. Th
Strengthening of labor organization will be
necessary to make even this law effective
And only a powerful union movement will
raise the standards of most of the workers,
so that they enjoy a fairer share of the wealth
with which the South is endowed.
The most encouraging of recent news for
the South, therefore, is the announcement by
Chairman Sidney Hillman of the Textile
Workers Organizing Committee that the
establishment of wages and hours admins
tration will be followed by a general organi-
cation DRIVE throughout the South.
The CLIO is already the predominant labor
movement of the South, having a solid base
ii all the major industries such as textiles,
oil, steel, coal mining, etc. 1t is also making
notable Roadway in the Gulf ports and in the
city Of New Orleans.
It is through the CLIO that southern work
ers and the South generally have most to
look for in the way of raising economic
standards, for their own benefit and for that
of the whole country.
The CLIO has grown in the South as a
southern movement. The absurdity Of the
propaganda Of ~labor-baiters and sWeatshop
manufacturers who try to picture it as an
alien and pernicious importation, is easily
shown by reference to the already substantial
achievements in the South Of the United
Mine Workers, the Oil Workers international
Union, the Textile Workers Organizing Com
mittee, the Steel Workers Organizing Com
mittee and other CLIO unions.
These unions have brought higher wages,
have lessened the differential between North
and South, and have produced more civilized
industrial relations in every community
where they have become established.
The forthcoming organizing drives of the
CLIO in southern industries represent a con
s~tructive contribution to r%emedying the
economic unbalance' of which President
Roosevelt spoke, in the interests of both the
South and the North. They should receive
the active cooperation of all people of gooc
will who have their country's interests al
heart.-CIO NeWS.

Seeks Accurate Presentation
OF Tuberculosis Data.

To the Editor of The STAR
The District Health Department, in
making an analysis of tuberculosis death
rates in 46 cities, says:
1T is interesting to note that San
Antonio, Memphis, New Orleans, Balti-
more, Cincinnati and Birmingham,
which were all among the 10 cities with
highest rates, all have large colored
populations According to the 1880
census, the colored population of San
Antonio, which had the highest tuber-
culosis death rate in 1887 of any of the
46 cities studied, constituted less than
per cent of the total population; Mem
phis and Birmingham each had 38 per
cent colored.
It is evident that wherever these high
death rates prevail, the large" colored
population will be blamed, whether such
population constitutes per cent or 38
per cent of the total. If the colored
group were actually responsible for the
high tuberculosis mortality rates of San
Antonio, which have so long been at
tributed thereto, that group would have
long since become extinct. Tubercu-
losis is serious problem, and if it is to
be fought effectively the truth must not
be concealed. ROBERT H. HOILEY.

Pedestrian Control

The District Commissioners have
set December 20 as the date for a
public hearing on proposed regula-
tion of pedestrian traffic. They
have drawn up two suggested regu-
lations for the purpose of discussion
at that time-prohibitio of pedes-
trians crossing in the middle of a
block and regulation of pedestrians
crossing at intersections whether or
not the corner is controlled by lights
or police.
These proposals were adopted after
study of regulations in fifty-six
cities by the director of traffic and
other District officials. They found
that nine cities prohibit crossing in
the middle of blocks, twenty-nine
cities and the same number of States
require pedestrians to obey signals
at intersections, twenty-five States
forbid crossing between intersections
when lights control adjacent corners
and thirty-one States allow pedes-
trians to cross anywhere when there
are no signals, but give motor traffic
the right of way.
The action of the Commissioners
brings Washington a step nearer to
the solution of one of its major
traffic problems, particularly in view
of statistics presented by Traffic
Director Van Duzer showing that
more than half Of the accidents
involving pedestrions occur between
intersections.
The matter is now up to the citi-
zens. Their views are asked and
their cooperation is necessary if the
toll of death and injury is to be
reduced. Any form of pedestrian
control must be cooperative, on the
part of motorists as we'll as of pedes-
TRANS. Persons on foot crossing a
street legally must be given their
right of way if numerous individuals
are not to be driven to unlawful
crossing
Every pedestrian must learn his
responsibility. But he must be
yielded his full rights. Perhaps one
solution would be a slight lengthen-
ing of the time for clearing controlled
intersections and for the more wide
spread use of the arrow system of
lights in the congested areas.
Whatever regulation is adopted,
however, the motorist and pedestrian
alike must bear in mind that the
fundamental purpose of any control
measure is to define precisely the
rights and obligations of each.

Beyond the Law

The mistrial in the Warning case,
unfortunate in itself, points to a
deplorable weakness in our lava
situation in which a man charged
with one crime can plead another
crime as his defense without being
prosecuted for the second offense.
The Warning brothers and a tax
consultant were tried for a con-
spiracy to violate the income tax
laws. Explaining the failure of the
Warnings to pay certain income
taxes, it was asserted they were
engaged in the numbers racket and
therefore had found it expedient to
pay large sums to policemen for
'protection."
AS every one knows, the operation
OF numbers game and the payment
OF bribes to police officers are both
crimes. Yet, because of a legal tech
nicality, there can be no prosecution
on either count on the basis of the
facts brought out in the tax trial.
The law requires the prosecuting
authorities to prove the corpus
deficit" body of the crime. In
the bribery matter, for instance, it
would be necessary for the district
attorney to show that money had
been paid to particular policeman.

be identified, the Warnings cannot
be tried for that offense despite the
fact that several witnesses testified
in the income tax case that the
Warnings had admitted making such
payments.
Undoubtedly the legal technicality
here involved has served a useful
purpose on other occasions, but in
this case it seems an unreasonable
barrier to the administration of
justice. Some revision of our law
appears in order-at least to the
extent of making it impossible for
an alleged offender to plead one
crime, for which he cannot be pun
ished, as defense to another crime
of which he stands accused.
