Parents Keep Vigil
For News Of Sons
Fate on Sea Flight
Hopes Based on Smiths
Ability to Win in
Body Clipper
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, w. Va, May 30
Tommy Smiths parents kept an all
night vigil beside their radio and
telephone hoping every minute for
word their adventuresome young son
had escaped death on trans-At-
lantic flight they tried in vain to
halt.
Eye-sore from their struggle to
keep awake through the long watch,
Mr.. and Mrs Harvey Smith chung
resolutely to their faith in the ability
of their third-born to win out with
his Baby Clipper plane.
While frightening hours brought
no confirmed report of the flyers
fate, the stolcal mother prayed she
still would be able to dispatch this
cablegram penned soon after Smith s
takeoff:
Congratulations, Tommy. Please
come home by boat for my sake. ,
Having no advance notice, the
60-year-old parents were amazed
when informed early Sunday that
Smith was poised in Maine for his
effort to span the ocean.
Phone Connection Too Late.
They told of trying to reach him
by telephone to plead that he
abandon plans for the fight, but
Smith had been gone an hour when
they finally got connection.
I'VE know Tommy is down now
but where is our job" sadly de-
clared the father, a prominent at
torney who looks like a Southern
colonel with his white hair and
goatee.
The mother, just recovered from
q serious attack of influenza, sat
quietly by the radio with face drawn
last night as Smith talked for hours
TO nelghbors and newsmen of the
boyhood exploits of his son.
One thing sure would make me
the happiest father in the world
a telegram from Tommy that he'd
landed in London and for us to meet
him next week in New York at the
dock" he said in a tired, low voice.
Proud of his sons record and a
close follower of his aerial activi-
ties. Mr.. Smith doubted that the
baby clipper" was the small plane
reported to have come within 100
feet of land at Saint Bees. England.
Not An Impulsive Move.
Il know Tommy and if he ever
got down as low as 100 feet to
ground he would have landed" as
serted the father.
The transatlantic flight was not
an impulsive move on Smiths part,
disclosed Mrs. Smith.
Tommy made the flight for eX-
perlmental purposes" she declared
He told me this spring that some
one owed it to the light plane indus
try to make an experimental flight
across the Atlantic in light plane
He had abiding faith in the per-
Torrance of light planes"
She always has been "a little
frightened" about her sons aerial
ambitions. While on vacation in

flight at the age of 10, Mrs. Smith
recalled. He had IS spending

eve of his 10Th birthday at Miami,

scribed by associates as having a
natural instinct for flying.

go to the battle-ground on Georgia

What was the battle fought
there a reporter asked timidly.
Comdr. Kline looked up quickly.

said sharply. I'VE all fought there.
Out at the battle-ground are buried

He looked away for a second, then
turned quickly back.

The car pulled away from the re-
viewing stand and the screaming
siren of a police motor cycle escort
sent the younger uniformed men
scurrying for cover. Make way,

LET PEOPLE VOTE ON
WAR, SAYS SEN. BONE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-A ma
tional referendum whereby the people
would themselves vote to go to war
is "only one part of a whole legis-
lative and educational pattern" de-
signed to keep America at peace, Miss
Dorothy Deter, executive secretary
of the Women's international League
for Peace and Freedom, told a Sem
ate judiciary subcommittee.
"By itself it could have little value, y
she said. "But as single part OF a
whole peace pattern, it has tremendous
value and can help to create the di-
rection and trend of American foreign
policy"
Florence Brewer Broeckel, associ-
ate secretary of the National Council
for Prevention of War, argued that
the war referendum would be extern
sion of the principles of democracy.
Senator Bone, of Washington, joined
Senators La Toilette, Nye and Capper
in support of the referendum.
"If the people want to vote to COM
nit suicide" he said, "let them be
their own executioners. God never
made man smart enough to be their
Judge and executioner. And not even
the grace of God can save people
who want to commit suicide"

Labor Again Wins Right
To Picket Non-Union Firm;
Union May Use z Pickets
Decision Modifes Injunction OF Cuyahoga County Com
mon Pleas COurt-Three-Judge Court Hands Down
DecisiOn-Cleveland Restaurant Owner Is Plaintiff.

Crosby restaurant in October, 1897
when it was refused recognition. The
common pleas court issued a strong
injunction against the union in Jan
uary 1898, restraining members from
any picketing activities.
In the decision modifying the in
junction, handed down May 25, the
three judges held that the union was
entitled to two pickets at the main
entrance of the restaurant and one
at driveway entrance, 'for the pur-
pose of informing the public that
Crosby's do not employ union help"
The order restrains the union from
"coercing" employees of the restaurant
and from interfering with the free
entrance and exit of guests"
Attorneys for the plaintiff con-
tended in the original injunction suit
and in their appeal to the Supreme
Court that the union should not be
allowed to picket the restaurant in
asmuch as no employees of the res
taurant were members of the union.
The modified order handed down
last week followed precedents estab-
lished in similar cases, Representative
Blum said.

Labor Relations.

(By A. E. of L. Weekly News Service)
The Importance of the universal ac-
ceptance of collective bargaining by
those who own and control industry
was emphasized by Otto S. Boyer, of
the u. S. National Mediation Board,
in speech before the convention of
the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks at
Toronto, Canada. Declaring that col
lective bargaining must be made to
work if democracy is to work, Mr..
Boyer said:
"The fact that in many industries
in Canada and the United States we
still have a long way to go in the
direction of establishing labor rela-
tions on sound basis puts at the
disposal of our two democracies one
OF the greatest opportunities to or
ganize their industrial and economic
activities, so that the people Of these
democracies will never fall for the
brand of social salvation offered by
the dictators."
