FEDERATION OF
LABOR PROTESTS
Accuses Justice Dept. of
Inconsistency In Anti
Trust Laws

Washington, Nov. 23.-(UP)-The
American Federation Of Labor to-
day inferentially accused the de-
partment Of justice Of inconsistency
in seeking to enforce antitrust laws
against AFL afilliates while arguing
against their application to Con-
gress Of Industrial Organizations
unions.
AFL President william Green
made public a letter to Attorney
General Frank Murphy in which he
declared that Asst. Atty. Gen. Thur
man Arnold's invocation OF the anti
trust laws to prosecute labor unions
for alleged restraints OF trade in
the building industry Constitutes a
grave perversion Of the law and
runs directly counter to the clearly
expressed intent Of the congress OF
the United States when 1t adopted
the Clayton act"
Commenting on the recent indict-
ments Of Building Trades union Of
ficials in Washington and st. Louis,
Green said he might mention" that
he had been informed by his gen.
eral counsel, Joseph A. Padway, that
Arnold had told Padway that he
was preparing a brief for the gov
eminent "upholding the content lion
Of a CIO union In the Apex hosiery
case that 1t could not be sued for
damages under the antitrust laws.
In the Apex case the American
Federation Of Hosiery Workers
(CIO) lost q $711932.55 judgment
for alleged damage to Apex property
and business during o lengthy sit
down strike In 1897.
Neither Murphy nor Arnold would
comment Immediately on Green's
charges.
Green corltended that congress had
expressly directed exemption OF
labor unions and farmers organi-
cations from provisions OF the Clay.

ton Of a just order in society whose
disruption has brought the world to
Its present pass. /" We plead for
spirit of calm deliberation In our
nation.
Perhaps the most appalling thing
In modern warfare is the fact that
Its tragic sufferings are visited not
only upon combatants, but as we'll
upon women and children, the weak
and the infirm, young and old. No
longer 90 armies alone march in bat
tie, but whole nations are modified
for total and unrestricted warfare.
Peace With Justice
Peace with justice is the stated
objective Of combatants in the pres
ent strife. But no peace can en-
dure unless justice be tempered with
charity. Peace achieved throughout
outright victory and defeat may cas-
lily be nothing more than an armed
peace. We recognize that the sane
tity Of international contracts must
be restored but there must be first
a sanctity In the contract itself,
generated by free negotiation and
free acceptance. If force is made
the instrument of acceptance of a
contract, then force Is inevitably
invited as an instrument of rejec-
ton.
"As the steward Of great gifts
from divine providence, our nation
has the moral task to minister to
the common welfare of the people
Of the Western Hemisphere, espe-
cially through the preservation Of
peace and the cultivation and pro-
motion of those high moral princi-
pies which give vigor to political and
social life"

pointed out that except for food
the squatters have no overhead, and

During the course Of the raid on the
village which had sprung UP on the
old golf lots, 1t was recalled, sew
eral Of the men told police they had
jobs as skilled workmer In local fac
tories.
Many Theories
Theories that the squatters gain
ed their money In less respectable
ways were also advancved, gambling
being the most prominent. Breaking
and entering was also given as q
possible way In which the men got
mone7 when 1t was recalled that
one Of the sqrarters presented In
court today was involved In a break
case some months ago.
Police said 1t was unlikely, as Is
popularity believed, that the squat

Supt. Roach said some Of the men
have become permanent fixtures in
the community, and he observed
that q few Of them were left-overs
from, the last raid on the shanty

Where Will They Go?
1t is believed that the men will
disperse to various cheap boarding
houses IN the city and use theii
board money until spring comes
round again. Then they will prob.
ably look for farm work, or odd Jobs

of minister OF national economy Blu
joiu because Of opposition to his
suggested changes in the country's
foreign trade policies.
No official reason was given, how
ever, for the resignation of the cab
met, and 1t was announced simply
that members of the royal council
would meet with King Carol at the
palace this afternoon to consider the

No Thyssen Property
Berlin, Nov. 23-(UP)-Reports
published abroad that Germany has
confiscated the property of Fritz
Thyssen, Ruhr iron and steel mag
nate who was credited with aiding
to put the Nazi party In power, were
denied by the ministry OF propa-
ganda today.
Reports that Thyssen's property
has been confiscated are absolutely
untrue" the ministry said He is
not now at his residence In Duessel-
dorf. He may be in Switzerland"
Zurich dispatches this week con-
firmed that Thyssen is at Locarno,
Switzerland, with his wife and one
child. In letter to the United Press
the man who organized the Great
German Steel trust said that he
had left Germany because of sit
uation created by his opposition to
the present war and the policies OF
the Hitler government. Thyssen IN
dictated that at a later date he would
amplify the reasons for his break
with the Reich authorities. Mean
while, he planned to remain in
Switzerland indefinitely, a voluntary
exile)

This, the newspaper said, meant
the virtual annexation of Holland,
Belgium, Rumania and part of Jugo-
