A VERDICT AGAINST A UNION

Federal District Court jury, in Phil
adelphia, recently returned verdict of
$237,31O.85 against a branch of the
CLOS American Federation of Hosiery
Workers as an outgrowth of seven-weeks
sit-down strike in a hosiery plant there in
1887.
AS the case was brought under the
Sherman Antitrust Act, the Court en-
tered verdict for triple the amount stated,
or Still, 1926. = !: ..s<r -
It is easily recognized that this case,
if upheld upon appeal, will become one of
the most important in Labor history Il is
the first in which Labor union has been
held liable for damages during a sit-down
strike. While no execution of judgment
will be attempted until after the appeal is
heard, the 10000 members of the union
branch fear that should the verdict be up
held, assessments will be levied against
their pay envelopes to settle the judg-
ment.

HOW TO LIVE LONG

Readers of The Citizen who find life
interesting and wish to live long time
will be interested in the health advice of
DR.. Malcolm MacEachern, of Chicago.
The Chicago surgeon says that every
body should work eight hours, play eight
hours and sleep eight in every twenty
four. Moreover, people eat too much,
worry too much and overlook teeth, tonsiI
and appendix infection.
The doctor urges a balanced diet. He
would end worry, which retards the func-
tons of vital organs. It may be compare
lively easy for most people to secure a
balanced diet, but the prescription lend
worry will give many individuals a
harder job.
We are not expert in the affairs of
medicine, but, nevertheless, we suspect
that the Chicago surgeon has the key to
good health and long life.

FORCE ALONE WILL STOP HITLER

When Hitler came to power in Ger
many the Saar basin was the focus of pos
sible international trouble.
After plebiscite, by which France
abided, the area was returned to Ger
many. Three months before Hitler had
said, in the Reichstag, that once the ques-
ton was settled Germany was willing
and determined to accept the Pact of Lo-
earno-onee expected to assure peace in
Europe.
One year later he sent German troops
into the Rhineland, almost precipitating a
war and, again in the Reichstag, declared,
eve have no territorial demands to make
in Europe"
In 1885 he said, Germany has neither
the wish nor the intention to mix in in
ternal Austrian affairs, or to annex or
unite with Austria
In 1887 he said: 81 wish to announce
that the era of so-caled surprises has
been concluded
About year later he threatened the
almost-captive Schusschnigg to capitulate,
under martial threat, and marched his SOL
diers into Vienna, annexing that country
to Germany.
Then he said: Germany wants only
peace. She does not want to add to the
sorrows of other nations. - 30 Z, ----'
Shortly afterward he pushed the
Sudeten question to the fore and pursued
it until September, 1888, when at Berch-
tesgaden he amazed Mr.. Chamberlain by
expanding his demands and when the
powers forced the Czechs to yield, assured
the British Premier that this was "the end
of Germany's territorial claims in Europe"
Less than six months later he took adj
ventage of defenseless Czechs and an
nexed their entire nation, although its ter
ritory was supposed to have been guar
anteed'' as a result of the cession of the
Sudetenland.
Last week he advanced again and &C
quired Memel.
Because his word is worthless and his
assurances valueless the world naturally
wonders what he will attempt next. No
longer does he parade behind formula of
uniting Germanic peoples now he works
on the need of Giving peace"
No one knows where Hitler will stop
but everyone knows that it will take armed
force to stop him. Consequently, the only
question for the nations Of Europe to de-
termine is where they will draw the line
against surrender and let the Fuehrer
march against line of steel.

of this hemisphere. There is
general acquiescenee in the be-
lief that if Great Britain and
France are defeated, it will only
be a question of time before the
United Stetes is confrontd with
war in defense of its historic
position on this side of the At
lantic.
The testimony of former Secre-
tary of State Henry L. Stimson,
before the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, illustrates the
idea. This former republican of
fetal urgd that the United States
assert tine right to name and boy
colt the aggressor in a foreign
war. IF l saw dangerous sit
uation approaching step by
STEP, he said, Il wouldn't wait
until it killed off the last nation
that stood between us and safe
ty before taking economic action.
Upon this statement will come a
bitter battle in Congress where
the entire question of neutrality
is being threshed out.
Mr.. Stimson takes the position
that the present neutrality act
has created the belief abroad that
the United States is insensible to
cruelty and aggression and that
our people are too timid to per-
NIT the Government to make de-
cisions which might offend pow
erful nations, although necessary
to protect the future interests of
the country. He insisted that the
present law has encouraged ag-
,gession and that it should be re-
P4led so that the, President, upon
e outbreak of a war, could name
the aggressor nation and BAN COM
merce with the country that vio-
lated its treaty with us.

he thought the United States
should take the field with "other
democrac;es" in the event of a

The foreign policies of the
United States are far removed
from those that existed when the
fighting began in Europe in 1914
Upon that occasion. President
Wilson made his plea for neu-
trality, sin fact as well as in
name, and even up to the par
ticipation of the United States in
the struggle, he made valiant eff
forts to bring about a peace with
out victory, which, he thought
might adjust conflicting claims in
Euroupe on basis which would
lead to permanent peace.
Today, in the United States
there is no neutrality in spirit in
regard to affairs in Europe. The
overwhelming sentiment of the
people of this country is against
Germany. This antipathy in
cludeS, to a lesser degree, Italy
and Japan. Whereas, in 1914, few
Americans understood the diplom-
acy that preceded the World War,
today they have watched the
lines form. The difference is seen
in the official attitude of the ma
ton, with President Roosevelt
openly denouncing the methods
of Germany. His annual mes
