inequalities Cited in
Ruling N. L. R. B. Has
Sole Authority

In an opinion bearing on the
present controversy over whether
the Wagner Act should be amended,
the United States Court of Appeals
for the District-composed in the
majority of New Deal appointees-
today ruled that regardless of in
equalities and the fact that in some
situation employers have no remedy
under the National Labor Relations
Act, the Labor Board is the sole
agency to settle disputes concerning
rights of representation.
This opinion came as the appellate
court instructed District Court to
dissolve an injunction in which a
c. 1. o. affiliate was enjoined and
an A. F.. L. union favored in dealing
with H. Zirkin & Sons, Inc, fur
shop.
In a section Of the opinion bearing
on the controversy whether the
Wagner Act should be amended to
give an employer specific authority
to ask the Labor Board to order an
election among his employees, the
court said:
Hits Injunction.
In one section of the opinion bear
ing on the present controversy
whether the Wagner Act should be
amended to give an employer spe-
cif1c authority to ask the Labor
Board to order an election among
his employees, the court, composed
in the majority of New Deal ap-
pointees, said:
THE union which believes itself
to represent majority may have
no incentive to apply for an elec-
ton; and the union which appar-
emily has less than a majority may
resist an election, at least until it
is satisfied it has won over enough
to constitute majority. 1t is clear
further that in such a situation there
is no remedy for the employer under
the National Labor Relations Act
That act makes no provision for
invocation of the election and certi-
fication powers of the board by an
employer. The result is an inc
quality before the law as between
an employer and employees in this
particular, namely, that while the
employer has a substantive right
to carry on his business, he lacks a
legal remedy for protecting the
same against injury through the
struggle of competing unions, even
though he be Indifferent as to the
choice of his employees between them,
whereas the employees in respect of
their substantive rights of self or
ganization and collective bargain
ing are afforded a protective remedy
under the election and certification
powers of the board"

HORTA, the Azores, March 27.-
The 42-ton American flying boat
Yankee Clipper, carrying the largest
number of persons ever to fly the
Atlantic in heavier -than-air ma
chine, glided smoothly to a landing
here at 11:06 am. (8:O6 am. E.S.T)

transoceanic survey flight from

The 74-passenger flying liner, with
81 crewmen and technicians aboard,

and 80 minutes.
This was at an average speed of
l65 miles an hour. The ship had
left Baltimore at 2:34 pm tE. S. t.
Sunday.
Capt. Harold E. Gray. in COM
mand of the ship. said, 1T was the
most comfortable kind of a Journey"
After a stay here, at which Horta S
facilities as base for such large
craft will be studied. the trip will
be continued to Lisbon, Portugal;
Marseilles, France; Southampton,
England. and Foynes, Ireland.
Il don't expect to take off for the
rest Of the trip for a few days." Capt
Gray said, but the exact time de-
pends on developments and weather
reports.
1T was an easy landing today,
with calm sea and summer sun
shine and fair west wind. None
Of us were tired after the long, but
pleasant trip"
The clipper alighted in the chan
mel on a CLASSY sea and TAXED into
the harbor as Horta authorities and
the people cheered. She tied up at

High Court Blocks
Boards 'sSuit for Freedom

Sam Beard. Washington gambler,
today was blocked in an attempt to
get out of Atlanta Penitentiary
when the Supreme Court refused to
review a ruling of the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals denying writ of
habeas corpus.
Two sentences of one to three
years each were imposed on Beard
here in May, 1886, after his estab-
lishment in the 900 block of G
street was raided.
One was for setting up a gaming
table, the other for keeping a place
for gaming. He contended, in seek
ing the writ. that this was double
punishment covering the same Of
fense, and argued, too, that his con-
viction was illegal because it had
been obtained through wire-tapping
The habeas corpus first was de-
MED by the District Court of the
Northern District of Georgia, and
this finding then was affirmed on
appeal.
Beard was eligible for parole a
year ago, but did not apply: with
time off for good behavior. his SEN
tence would be completed in the fall
of 1910.

NEW YORK, March 27.-A new
and deadly mosquito immigrant
who hitch-hiked from Africa was
described in a Rockefeller Founda-
ton report today as greater po-
tential menace to western civiliza-

DR.. Raymond B. Fosdick, presi-

the invader-the malaria bearing
anopheles gambiae species-had
killed 10 per cent of the population
in sections of the state of Ceara
in Brazil
DR. Fosdick said the foundation
had set aside 100000 in 1899 to
fight the mosquito plague, which he
said had caused $4,000 malaria cases
in the Jaguaribe Valley of Brazil in
1893, striking down 80 per cent of
the residents.
In some parts crops were not
planted and salt production was
greatly reduced because of lack of
