PITTSBURGH, March 27.-A new
independent movement for Czecho-
Slovakia got under way today in this

nation was founded.
Czechs, Slovaks and Carpatho-
Russians. the three nationalities for
whom the nation was originally
formed, forswore internal differ

that was written here on May 80,
1918.
Wendell Stephen Platnek, presi-
dent of the National Slovak Society,
who was one Of the youngest of the
conferees in 1918, was elected presi-
dent Of the new movement by ac-
clamation last night.
He was given a mandate to Or
ganize similar movements through
out the United States and to call a
national convention before May Is
in Washington at which a perma-
nent organization will be established
to fight for the resurrection Of
Czecho-Slovakia.

CLEVELAND. March 27.-Presi-

United Auto Workers convention
today that serious attention should
be paid to organizing Canadian fac
tories and the Ford Motor Co.
If we don't maintain a strong
union in Canada our automotive
plants are going to migrate there"
said Mr.. Thomas, standing beneath
a portrait of John L. Lewis. The
organization of Ford is the biggest
problem we have to face today"
Mention of Homer Martin, leader
of rival faction. brought boos from
the rear of the hotel ballroom.
Union officials estimated $50, 100
more than expected, were present
as election maneuvers went on be-
hind the scenes. Mr Thomas, only
opeloly avoWed candidate for the
presidency, faced a threat in a re-
ported movement supporting the
present secretarv-treasurer George
Adde's, for the office
Prominent in the election scene
were Richard T. Frankensteen, un-.
derstood to be candidate for Sec
retary- treasurer. and Walter Reu-
ther, leader of the 3,000-member
Detroit West Side local.
A movement was reported to
force an election at the opening
session today, instead of at the
close of the convention. This would
assure election of five vice presi-
dents under the present union con-
stitution, before action is taken on
a Constitution Committee Endorsed
change providing for only one vice
president.
Philip Murray and Sidney Hill
man, c. I. O. vice presidents. were
expected to confer with leaders in
an effort to forestall a clash over
union control.
In his presidents report, made
public before the opening of the
convention, Mr.. Thomas placed the
c. I. O.-U. A. w. membership at
100000, and that of the Martin
faction at 15.947 temporarily af-

The basis for the courts inter-
vention in this field has not been
any explicit provision of the Con-
stltution," he said.
The judicial history of this doc
trine Of immunity is a striking il
lustration of an occasional tend
ency to entrust unwarranted in
depreciation upon the Constitution
and thereafter to consider merely
what has been judicially said about
the Constitution. rather than to be
primarily controlled by a fair con-
ception of the Constitution. Judicial
exegesis is unavoidable with refer
ence to an organic act like our
Constitution, drawn in many par
ticulars with proposed vagueness so
as to leave room for the unfolding
future. But the ultimate touch
stone of constitutionality Is the
Constitution itself and not what we
have said about it
No Action on Strecker.
Justice Frankfurter prefaced his
opinion by saying he deemed it ap-
propriate to add a few remarks"
in view of the fact that important
shift in constitutional doctrine was
being announced.
The court adjourned without act
ing on the case involving the at
tempt of the Labor Department to
deport Joseph G. Strecker-an issue
that is considered of great i'm
portance because the department
has delayed deportation proceed

Our shotgun army is one of peace dor everyone
but the ducks; the armies of Europe killing men,
as it seems to be open season on the species again

Another thing in order to give everyone fair

straight up couple of shots 655 will have all the

while before the opening hour especially If you've
been crouching the cold mud for any length of time
But to jump the gun is to be unfair to hundreds OF
fellow hunters who want to observe the law
Set your watch before you leave town; hold youl
fire until o'clock; then be careful every time you pull

AS the European war progresses, the United States
will become increasingly subject to the operations of

while America endeavoring to remain aloof from
the first World War and present circumstances por-
tend that there will be this time
The successful maintenance of our chosen role
will depend largely upon the efficacy of the United
States espionage organization first in safe
guarding national interests and later after the
pected enactment of the cash-and- carry neutrality
statute in safeguarding also the manufacture and
export of vital war materials That the latter will be
easy matter is indicated by the peacetme instances
Of sabotage in California aircraft plants engaged in
the manufacture of planes for France and England
The United states, however is vastly better pre-

been placed upon organized basis Early last spring
arrangements made to coordinate the activities

nation with an ideal spearhead for combating the

These preparations minimize the likelihood that

a basket social, their first social
event of the season. The social

Jay Smith, paid top prices for their
favorites.
The highest amount paid was for
basket donated by the Twentieth

was awarded the market.
A basket by Mrs. Sigurd Olson
was voted the most beautiful. Mrs.
Olson also won SIS prize.
Entertainment for the evening
consisted of bingo games and pro-

the baskets and the supper which
followed, the remainder of the eve

Not All War Boom
cleveland Plain Dealer


Steel production in the Cleveland Lorain district
has jumped twelve points and stands at 80 percent
of capacity the trade journal Iron Age reports This
boom rate for Steel where production very rarely
approaches actual 100 percent and anything above
60 to 70 percent is mighty good business. For the
nation the operating rate is II.
The squirt in steel brings the Great Lakes carryine
trade to what promises to be the busiest fan in te
years Boats long out of use are hurriedly brought
into commission to bring down more ore before ice
halts navigation.
The steel activity is paralleled in many other lines
Farm prices are down a bit from last weeks hysterla
levels but experts figure that the years farm income
is likely to be billion higher than recently seemed
probable.
The war is likely to get the credit for most OF
this acceleratng tempo of recovery. But not all OF
it is due to Mars. few weeks ago pessimists were
so occupied in holding their heads and bemoaning
the uncertain outlook" that most of them did not
observe the steady increase in business activity during
July and August. The traditional summer slump was
lacking.
Thus while war conditions abroad have given a
sudden impetus to industries such as aviation,
good part the present gratifying increase in BUSH
ness has more wholesome foundation. Recovery was
on the march America before the Naz legons tegan
