n. |. R. B. Denies Unions
Claim for Closed Shop
By the Associated Press.

oS tne Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board ruled yesterday that the re-
fusal of an employer to grant his en-
ployes a closed shop while bargain
ing in good faith was not an unfair
labor practice under the Wagner
Act.
On the basis of this finding. the
board dismissed charges that the
Adams Brothers Sales Book Co..
Topeka, Kans., had refused to bar
gain collectively with the Topeka
Typographical Union CA. F.. of L.
The board found that the COM
pany bargained in good faith with
the union in 1888 until the union
called a strike because the employer
refused to agree to a demand for the
closed shop in the composing room.
Since the respondent Company
negotiated in good faith" the board
said, "its failure to agree with the
union on all terms did not constitute
an unfair labor practice"
The board also dismissed a charge
that the company Disseminated
against employees because of their
union membership.
1t found, however, that John
Adams, company president, and
Walter Fits, composing room fore
man, had made "anti-union state
ments" which constituted interfer-
ence with the employees right to self
organization.
On this finding the board ordered
the company ito cease interfering"
with It's employees right to organize.

Witness Stand
Not a Very Fine Lady,
Bund Fuehrer Tells
Court at Trial
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The pro-
ceedings in Fritz Kuhn's larceny
trial were pointed sharply today
toward the witness stand appearance
of Mrs. Florence Camp, one-time
golden angel" of the bundfuehrer S
transcontinental correspondence, but
now considerably fallen from his
grace.
Il thought Mrs. Camp was a very
fine lady. but I found out she isn't"
Kuhn remorsefully admitted yester-
day after the prosecution had read
into the records three of Kuhn's
letters to her studded with protesta-
tions of undying love.
That remuneration of the blond
divorce capped a double recanta-
ton by the red-faced bundfuehrer-
an admission that he had lied to
Mrs. Camp in 1888 by telling her
he had divorced his wife in 1884
(he's still married) and an admis-

yesterday morning that he never
had told Mrs. Camp he was divorced
The State has announced Mrs.
Camp will be called, as a rebuttal
witness against Kuhn, who Is &C
cused of stealing money from his
German american Bund.
The appearance of the letters OBJ
viously was the cause of Kuhn S
turn against the woman he said he
loved with my whole soul and
body" When Assistant District At
torney Herman Mccarthy asked
when Kuhn found out Mrs. Camp
isn't a very fine lady," the bund
leader replied:
Il found out right now"
He had lied. he said, to shield Mrs.
Camp, as well as himself.
