criminal prosecution of all who interfere with
organizing activities by violating workers
civil rights.
There are many other cities in the United
States where Hague's methods have been
used, and are still being used, in more or less
degrees, to check union organization. Labor
may therefore go forward with new courage
in all these places, exercising its full constitu-
tional rights with the assurance that there
are legal methods to secure the punishment
of those who seek to deny it these rights.
For the whole American people there is
also a victory in the Supreme Court decision.
CLIO resistance to the near-Fascist dictator
ship which Mayor Hague sought to establish,
has led to this r~eaffirmation Of our democratic
liberties in unmistakable terms. 1t consti-
tutes a timely answer by America to the
Fascist reaction which is threatening the
world today.

The United States versus Hague

The decision of the United States Supreme
Court against Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City represents a splendid victory for the
CIO-and for the American people. Its con-
sequences may be far-reaching.
The CLIO asked no special privileges of the
Supreme Court. All it asked was that work.
ers who seek to organize be granted the
same rights of freedom of speech and free
dom of assemblage as the constitution guar
antees to all American citizens.
Mayor Hague denied these rights to the
workers of Jersey City. Clio organizers were
seized and run out of town. Union meetings
and leafet distribution were prohibited.
Unionists were held in Jail without charges,
and a campaign of intimidation was con-
Quoted to prevent the workers organizing
in the CLIO.
In unfolding the injunction which forbids
these practices on the part of Mayor Hague,
the Supreme Court has also upheld the
validity of the federal civil rights statutes
as applying to such cases.
This means that workers whose civil rights
are violated by Hague and his imitators in
other cities and states, are assured of legal
redress through a number of different chan
nels. 1t also means that criminal as well as
civil suits may be brought against all who
violate these rights.
The CIO is therefore in a position to ask
the Department of Justice to begin the

The Signal to Advance

There is great cause for encouragement
in the reports made to the recent meeting
of the executive board Of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations, and in the decisions
of the assembled representatives of the mil
lions of workers organized in the progressive
labor movement.
The CLIO board reviewed the accomplish
ments of a sound and growing movement,
which has survived all the problems of de-
preston and all the attacks of its enemies,
and which is now in a position to advance
to new gains for American labor and Ameri-
can democracy.
The board gave the signal for this advance,
by authorizing extensive organizing cam
paigns in a number Of industries whose work
ers do not yet enjoy the full benefits of
unionism which the CIO has already brought
to many other mass-production industries.
The CLIO board also voted to take the lead
in legislative campaigns for real security for
the aged, for adequate provision for the I'M
employed, for civil liberties and for other
pressing needs of the American people-be-
sides intensifying its efforts in defense of the
Wagner labor relations act and other exist
ing social legislation.
An examination of the actions of the board
will show that American labor has in the
CIO a champion that has just begun to fight.

C. Jenkins, superintendent of the

he completes 80 days rest he will
be able to again take up the posi-
ton as superintendent of the Lon
don prison farm. AS stated, he is
now resting up with his home peo-

spend a month with them, and is
showing improvement He plans
with his wife to spend about two
months in Florida.
The many friends of Mr.. jenkins
will be glad to learn that the state
of his health is such that specialists
think he will recover, and that if
his health is better, he at the end
of 90 days, will take up his duties
again as head of the London prison
farm
