Bridges Hearing Ends;
Doyle Refuses 10 Talk

SAN FRANCISCO-(FP)-As an
anti-climax following the windup of
the Harry Bridges deportation hear
ing, the elusive Stanley M. (Larry)
Doyle arrived in San Francisco and
was sworn for a tatement-which
he refused to make. Doyle then
went into federal court to learn
whether he must testify openly or
secretly.
Annoyed by the failure of the red
batting lawyer to come promptly
from Minnesota in answer to a de-
fense subpoena, Trial Examiner James
NJ Lands had unexpectedly brought
the hearing to an end at the start of
the 10th week. Lands scored
Doyle's complete disregard for the
properties of the law and his lex
treme unpatriotism"
The trial examiner arranged for
Doyle to make deposition when he
did arrive. He also gave both sides
six weeks for submission of final
briefs which are to be not only an
ANALYSIS of the hearing but also argu-
ment on the exact meaning of "affili-
alton" as opposed to membership in
an organization.
The big sensation of the final days
of the hearing was the affidavit OBJ
tanned in Salem, Ore, from AL Ross
er, former aide of Dave Beck, north
west chief of the init. Bro. of Team
sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers (AFL). Rosser, who is serv-
ing a prison term for arson and ter
rorism, said that the teamsters'
union had given at least $l,250 to
Police Capt John Keegan of Port
land for investigating Bridges and
smaller sums to Larry Doyle and
other individuals.
Rossers statement was supported
in direct testimony by Jack Esta-
brook, who is now secretary of the
AFL teamsters and warehousemen
in Oregon. Union books showing the
transactions could not be produced,
because Keegan's own men seized
them in a raid in February 1888.
Estabrook also said he had met
IR. P. Bonham, Seattle immigration
bureau director, in 1897, and that
Keegan had told him he and Bonham
we're working hand in hand" He
had paid $1,000 to Keegan on one
occasion on Rosser's order, and the
next day gave him $3.50 more through
William Brown. On the stand Kee-
gan had testified that Brown got the
$3.50 but that he ordered him TO re-
turn it. Estabrook said he never
got it back
'Why Capt. Keegan should take
the witness stand down here" said
Estabrook, "and swear under oath
that he never took any money from
me is more than I can understand.
I should think he would be proud
of the fact that an organization had
contributed money to help him in
vestigate subversive activities"

PhotO-EngraverS Progress

The constructive growth and achievements
of typical union affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor are Illustrated in
the well-documented report of Edward j.
Voz, president of the International Photo
Engravers' Union Of North America, to the
fortieth annual convention of the union re-
Gently held in San Francisco, California.
The unions membership enjoys a steady
growth, now totaling II, ,500 compared with
8625 ten years ago.
Agreements negotiated with employers are
the basis Of the unions policy for achieving
shorter hours, higher wages and improved
employment standards. Mr. Volz's report
reveals that agreements either consunnmated
or pending cover 48 cities. Twenty-Five per
cent Of the membership have the 35-hour
work week, As per cent have the 3712-hour
week, and the remainder have the 40-hour
week. The fve-day week has been secured
for practically all of the unions members.
Wage rates range from weekly minimuns Of
$50 to $65 for day workers and from $3.50
to $78 for night workers.
The Photo -Engravers' Union is notable for
the financial assistance given to its unem-
plOy6Q uleluDSIS. OuIluS bIle last year lIle
locals paid 81 ,154, ,95005 in benefits to their
members who were without work; for the
last decade the unemployment benefits have
averaged over $1OOO,OOO per year.
The local unions also paid $23,81519 in
sick benefits and $51 ,665 in death benefits.
In addition, the International Union expend-
ed $36, ,44805 for strike and lockout benefits,
$18,017 for tuberculosis benefits, $24 400 for
funeral benefits, and $121, ,53713 for insur-
ance premiums on group insurance for its
members-a total of $2OO,4O218. The com
bined benefits paid by the International
Union and the locals for the year totaled
81, ,430, ,83242
With regard to finances the report of Sec
retary- Treasurer Henry F. Schmal indicates
that the officers and members Of the Union
need not lie awake nights worrying as to
how they are going to meet their bills. After
paying out total of 1888, 7657O during the
year the Union had a surplus of $315, ,38029,
all either deposited in banks or invested in
gilt edge securities.

The Washington Scene

WASHINGTON. ~ (FP) - Some
Americans will make a nice piece
of change out of a European war
despite U. S. neutrality, but those
Americans aren't you and you and
you The working men and women,
in fact, are already being docked.
This is not a guess. The Bureau
of Labor Statistics reports that food
prices have increased II per cent
since war broke out. In other words,
the dollar that the housewife spent
for groceries last August was worth
only 85 cents on Sept. 8.
Since the average workers family
spends about one-third Of its income
on food, the price jump means a
total wage cut of 5 per cent or more.
The mechanic who was earning $45
on Aug. 81 still brings home $45 in
money, but the $15 that went for
milk and groceries is worth only
$1275 now-or probably less by the
time you read this.
Chief increases were noted in the
prices of sugar, flour, lard and pork
chops Sugar was up is to As per
cent; flour rose as much as go per
cent
That there is no real justification
for these price boosts-that the ex-
ira profits are grabbed up by specu-
lators, manufacturers and large dis
tributors-doesn't help the consumer
at all. 1t has always happened that
in period of rising prices, wage
increases trail far behind
What can be done? For one thing,
cooperatives can help. During the
last war the cooperative stores re-
fused to participate in profiteering.
They have no incentive to profiteer,
since their purpose is to get goods
to the consumer as cheaply as pos
sible. This is an excellent time to
expand the scope of the consumer
cooperative movement.
Aggressive unionism is perhaps
the most important factor. While
sugar prices soar, the supply is be-
ing curtailed by a lockout of 1,700
workers at the Long Island City
and Edgewater, N. j., plants of the
Natl Sugar Refining Co. Those two
plants alone can produce 100000
pounds of sugar daily. And the
company has refused a CIO offer
of arbitration.
In Paterson, N. j., a traditional
battle-ground of organized labor, the
Textile Workers Union (CIO) an
ticipated initiation in a new con-
tract just signed for broad silk
workers. The agreement can be
reopened for wage boosts in the
event of initiation. It won't be long
now before the union negotiators
knock on the company's door.

one of the greatest comebacks of

their first defeat in Is games, VIM

A total of 318,241 persons saw
the eight games and in all cases
save one-the EaSt-West contest
the favorites were victorious. In
addition to Texas Tech, Oklahoma
and Duke also had perfect records
ruined. OF the three, Duke, which
hadn't even been scored on all
season, came closest to winning.
Ruffa Boots One
A field goal by Tony Ruffa early
in the last period had put Duke
ahead 80 and with 40 seconds left
to play, the Trojans scored a
touchdown. The final stab was a
bullet pass from Doyle Nave. a
substitute all season, to Al Krueger,
sophomore end. The victory ran

straight. The largest crowd in his
tory-93 ,000-saW it.
TCU, trailing 10 at the half
came back brilliantly to beat Car
negie. O'Brien, unanimous ALL
America quarterback, lived up to
his reputation by pitching one
touchdown pass, setting up an
other score through the air and
kicking a field goal. He heaved a
16-yard pass to Clark in the first
period that put TCU on the Tech
four yard line, and on the second
play afterward, Sparks scored.

SoOners DisappOint
Oklahoma was probably the big
gest disappointment of the day.
The Sooners made only 25 yards
rushing and SO passing against
Tennessee before a crowd of 80, ,19l
largest ever to see a sporting
event in Florida. Bob Foxx and
Walter Wood made touchdowns for
Tennessee in the first and last
periods and Captain BoWden Wyatt,

St. Mary's led 300 when Texas
Tech cut loose with passing at

last period. Utah's power was far
too much for the New Mexico in
the Sun Bowl.
The hero of the East-West game
was Billy Patterson of Baylor who
pitched touchdown passes of 81
yards and IA yards to Jim Cough

West it's first victory since 1885.

Football fans of the nation are
