JAPAN IS SLOWED a.

Advance Is Retarded by
Severe Fighting and
River Overflow.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, June 24.-The Japa-
nese advance up the Yangtze River
toward Hankow slowed to a snairs
pace today as result Of severe fight
ing and an overfiowing river.
Forces on the north bank of the
Yangtze. fighting to attack obstructive
boomS across the river at Matowchen
and kiukiang, reached Yentang in
Anhwei Province. Since the capture
OF Tsienshan a week ago, this unit
had advanced 9 miles and was ap-
proximately 10 miles from Kiukiang,
l35 miles downriver from Hankow, the
provincial capital
Chinese said two dominating hills
on the south bank near Tikiang, 300
miles from Hankow, changed hands
twice in the last two days.
Take One Hill in Charge.
japanese finally took one hill by
bayonet charge, but Chinese re-
pulsed attacks on the other.
The overflow of the Yangtze at
several points between Anking and
Wuhu in the battle area was said by
Chinese to be interfering with Japa-
nese advances, but had not yet reached
serious proportions.
The Japanese fleet continued to shell
shore positions above Anking and to
sweep the stream for mines.
Foreign sources said 100 Japanese
marines were killed and 20 injured
when a navy launch in the area
struck a Chinese mine Thursday.
Among the casualties were a japanese
news correspondent and a photog-
rarher.
Large Areas Recaptured.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek waded
knee deep through mud and water in
flooded zones 300 miles north, near
the Yellow River, and recaptured large
areas almost abandoned by the

JOHN MORRISON. LABOR
UNION LEADER, DIES

New York, N. Y. (AFLWNS1.-.
John Morrison, prominent in the or
ganized labor movement for more than
half century died at his home, 585
West End Avenue here, June 19 at the
age of "a. The immediate cause of
his death was lobar pneumonia.
Mr. Morrison was president of the
Carpet Weavers International Union
in the Eighteen Eighties. Since then
he had been associated with the trade
union movement in many capacities.
He was friend of the late Samuel
Gompers. For many years he had
charge of advertising for the Ameri-
can Federationist, official organ of
the American Federation of Labor, and
various union publications in the
building trades.
Those who were privileged to know
him will keenly regret his passing. He
was a true friend who advised justly,
assisted readily, adventured boldly, de-
Tended courageously and continued as
friend Interchangeable through the
years.
mental principles of organized labor
and our democratic institutions-fel
that any industry or any industrial
system which employs men, women
and children under sub-standard work.
| ing conditions affects not only the
workers, themselves but the public as
we'll. He lived to see fair industrial
standards greatly improved and laws
enacted to protect public health and
the workers in industry.
| The memory of his untiring and un-
selfish devotion will serve as an in
spiration to those coming along in the
labor movement today. Trade union
lists deeply lament the ending of a
career of such exceptional ability use
fulness and value-a man whose every
thought and interest was centered in
the progress of Organized Labor.
Mr. Morrison was born in New York
City on February 20, 1864. He is sur
vived by nephew, Joseph Moran, and
several nieces.
Many prominent labor leaders from
all parts of the country, including
President Green and Secretary-T Treas
urer Morrison Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, attended the funeral.
The many floral tributes spoke mutely
but effectively of the high esteem in
which he was held by his friends in
the labor movement.
Funeral services were held at St.
Gregory's Catholic Church where a
solemn requiem high mass was cele-
brated.
Interment took place at St. Johns
cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y.

FACES DISBARMENT BECAUSE
HE is A LABOR ATTORNEY

Washington, d. C. QLNS).-Solici-
tor General Robert H. Jackson has
made the plain charge that the Amer
lean Bar Association is trying to dis
bar Edward Lamb of Toledo, Ohio,
"because he is labor lawyer" In his
personal capacity, Mr.. Jackson says,
he will continue to serve on the de-
fense committee formed by the Natl
onal Lawyers Guild to fight the dis
barment proceedings against Lamb.
Lamb, counsel for the United Shoe
workers of America, charged in court
at Portsmouth, Ohio, that he and his
clients had "been hijacked by the
court"
"If l had been presiding at the
case," wrote Jackson in the letter now
given out, "AND WE'RE NOT CON-
SCIOUS OF HAVING PROVOKED
SUCH LANGUAGE, l should hold a
counsellor in contempt, and fine him
appropriately, and commit him until
the fine was paid.
"Mere contempt of court has never
been considered cause for disbarment.
Hot words, even to Judge, do not
usually deprive one of his livelihood. y
He pointed out that Elihu Root had
been cited for contempt of court in
his defense of Boss Tweed, but that
he was not driven from his profession.
"In Lambs case, however," goes on
Jackson, "the court allowed the time
for appropriate remedies for Lambs
contempt to pass, and the Bar Asso-
citation then proposed disbarment
which would drive Lamb from his pro-
fession for his life, and deprive him
of his livelihood
81 know of no adequate explanation
of this fierce and vindictive proposal
EXCEPT THAT LAMB is A LABOR
LAWYER.
81 shall defend the right Of any
member of our profession to appear
habitually, if he desires, in labor
causes, and the right of man at the
bar to become labor lawyer as wei
as to be corporation lawyer"

plight This Congressional District is
to a great extent, as dependent upon
tariff protection as any Congressional
District in the United States. If your
own Congressman will not aid you in
securing that most essential tariff
protection, then you especially, are
more dependent upon the success Of
the BUY AMERICAN movement than
many other sections of our country.
"We still live under representative

"Mr. Chairman, fellow workers and

We can maintain those standards only
SO long as the employer who employs
union men can sell his products at a
fair price.
