Military Steps
STRIKERS IGNORING
ORDER FROM COURT

DIES MONIES, Ia, June 28.-
OUP)-Gov. Nelson G. Kraschel
hurried back to Iowa from Wis
consin vacation resort today to
decide whether to send national
guardsmen to Newton, Ia, where
$50 Committee for Industrial Or
ganization unionists have been
barricaded for five Gays in the
Maytag Washing Machine COM
pany plant.
Sheriff Earl Shields of Jasper
county and Mayor Geo. E. Camp
bell of Newton requested the
guardsmen last night "for the
good of the community"
Shields indicated that he would
ask to have the troops aid in evict-
ing the sitdowners from the plant.
"The situation is beyond our
control" he said.
Newton police said there has
been no violence at the plant and
that the conduct of the sitdown-
ers and pickets has been "order-
ly." =
"There are several hundred per-
sons here that want To go back to
work and several hundred more
who are holding the plant" Sher-
iff Shields said. Newton is such
a small place and so many per-
sons are affected by the strike that
I felt it was necessary to call for
outside aid"
The governor was advised Oh
the request at Trout Lake, Wis,
where he has been mentioning.
He notified his office that he would
return to Des Moines Immediate
ly.
az will make an immediate in
vestigation on my return and will
take such action as may be neces-
sary to protect the rights OF all
parties involved and to restore
law and order in Jasper county"
he said.
The sitdowners are members of
the United Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers union: They
barricaded themselves in the plant
last Thursday, ostensibly to pre-
vent some 600 workers who have
signed "back to work" pledges
from returning to their jobs. The
factory employs 1,400 men nor
mally.
Operations were suspended May
9 when the workers refused to
sign a new contract calling for a
10 per cent wage cut. The old
contract between the union and
the company expired April 1.
A week ago, the company OBJ
tanned an injunction restraining
members of the Clio from tres
passing on company property and
from interfering with employees
who wished to return to work.

all agitators who represent them

The procedure, Grosch said,
when all nine men have been ar

lima to go into competition with pri-
vate business, we'll be here the rest
of August" said the WadesbOro law
maker who led the fight against the
revenue bond issue bills in 1887, a
fight which resulted in amending
them to a point where many Senate
proponents voted against them and
which led to their flat rejection in the
House.
"On the other hand, if the munich
palities introduce a bill which will en-
able them to take advantage of PWA
grants for such purposes as would
not put them in business, they ought
to get authority to issue their reve-
nue bonds" he added.
In short, it appeared from the
Taylor attitude that only drastic
changes in the measure from their
1897 form will assure them of passage.
Secretary Pat Healy, Jr., of the
MUM League, has expressed confid-
ence that Governor Clyde r. Hoey
will favor the passage of a revenue
bond issue authorized measure; but
the governor has so far committed
himself no further than to say that
proposals for local units would be
"open for consideration"
The revenue bond bills were enacted
in 1885, but when they came up for
1eenactment in 1887 they met with
opposition which finally brought
about their virtual defeat, the House
refusing to concur in the emasculat-
ing amendments tackled on in the Sen

GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE
BONDS AND MAKE GIFT

Raleigh, Aug. 4.-The Federal gov
eminent will not only provide As per
cent grants through PWA, but will!
buy good" revenue bond issues of
North Carolina municipalities if the
special session of the legislature will
enact legislation permitting local
units to issue bonds of this kind for
self-liquidating projects, H. G. Baity,
special engineer of the Public Works
Administration for North Carolina,
said today.
Few of such issues would be "good
buys" said State Treasurer Charles
Johnson, head of the Local Govern.
ment Commission, which would most
likely be called upon to approve any
such revenue bond issues.
Both Baity and Johnson agreed,
however, that there should be legis-
lation permitting local units to issue
revenue bonds for purposes which are
sound and seem to be good PROPOSE
tions from the point of view of being
self-Iiquidating in fact.
Mr.. Baity said that his experience
while the revenue bond act of 1885
was in force was mot happy one"
as only comparatively few units at
tempted to take advantage of the act,
and those few were mostly small units
which could not show that the pro-
iects would yield sufficient revenue to
make investment in the bonds a safe
one.
Mr.. Johnson pointed out that in the
case of waterworks construction of
extension most municipalities have al
ready pledged the receipts from water
rents up to the very limit and that
it would generally be impossible to
show there would be a sufficient in
crease in rents as result of the inn
provementss to pay off the increased
indebtedness.

tween a county and state, he said,
as there is between a state and the
federal government. A local United
States grand jury, he added, can't UNI
idertake to impeach the president, and
neither can a strictly local grand jury
undertake to impeach a governor; it
takes Congress to investigate a presi-
dent and State to investigate a gov

Legislature vs. Court.
This sounds like fairly good reason
ing.
Governor Earle submitted it to the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the
Supreme Court gave him the ha-ha.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court
essentially Isl Republican-left over
from the days when the G. o. p. was
solid in Pennsylvania. It's view was
that Pennsylvania laws did not bear
out the governors contention.
Accordingly Earle called the legis-
lature into extra session to fix the law
to suit his requirements, and the leg
isiature did it. 1t was his kind of a
legislature. True, the legislature takes
UP the investigation. But is it likely
IndI d legislature WHICH Was So amen
able to his wishes will find against
him as to "extortion and coercion" of
lesser officials for political purposes :"
Unfortunate Juncture?
In short, Earle's argument is quite
convincing.
Nevertheless, he employs it at a
time when it quite distinctly is to his
own advantage.
What he says is all right; the only
criticism is of the moment when he
said it.
