NLRB'S WORD final ON FACTS.
SUPREME COURT HOLDS in APPEAL

WASHINGTON-( FP)-Courts hav'
no right to overrule the national labo
relations board because they do no
agree with the boards findings of fact
the supreme court held here in un
animous decision directing the circui
court of appeals to order the Water
man Steamship Corp. to comply will
an NLRB decision
At the same time, the court, in an
other unanimous decision, strongly
condemned the conviction of four ne
groes in Florida and pledged itself tc
protect those who might otherwise
suffer because they are helpless, weak
outnumbered or because they are non
conforming victims of prejudice and
public excitement"
Both decisions were written by Jus.
tice Hugo L. Black and were without
dissent
The Waterman case, involving the
discharge Of members of the National
Maritime Union (CIO), was one of the
cases upon which the AFL relied to
prove that the NLRB was biased in
favor of the CLIO. Before the senate
education and labor committee the
AFL had cited the words of the circuit
court decision declaring that the
boards finding was based on "mere
suspicion"
"The circuit court of appeals failure
to enforce the boards ORDER" the
supreme court said, resulted from the
substitution of its judgment on dis
puted facts for the boards judgment
and power to do that has been de-
MED the courts by congress
Whether the court would read the
same conclusion as the board from
the conflicting evidence Is immaterial
and the courts disagreement with the
board would not warrant the disregard
of the statutory division of authority
set up by congress-"
The supreme court, reviewing at
length the findings of the board in
the case, said that the boards find
ings 'are supported by evidence which
is substantial"

the decision declared, that courts not
encroach upon this exclusive power of
the board Ito determine the facts) if
effect is to be given the intention of
congress to apply an orderly, informed
and specialized procedure to the COM
pick administrative problems arising
i'll the solution of industrial disputes"
The Florida case involved the con-
viction of murder of four negroes,

Charlie Davis, and Walter Woodward,

labor demonstration each Saturday
the weather permitting.
A statement of the changes pro
posed by the Associated Industries tC
be made in their agreement with the
Retail Clerks Foodstuff employees was
read The proposed changes included
an open shop contract, no regulation
as to working hours and an agree
ment that labor would not use its
economic weapons of boycott and
picket against the individual members
of the Associated Industries. AS one
party so aptly expressed it, An insult
to the intelligence of labor only ex-
celled by the insult resulting to those
who would propose such changes and
still lay claim to honest thinking and
intelligence. The body recommended
that the clerks reject the proposal in
its entirety.
A committee was selected to work
on arrangements for holding monthly
mass meetings with the object in view
of increasing the fraternal relations
of all the different groups and furn-
ishing a medium for labor education
and group endeavor to all of the mem
bers of organized labor, their friends
and families in this vicinity.

Soviet Oil
Continued From Page one)

Continued From Page One)
British-French war against Germany
Russia.
British French investments in Their
newly bought Turkish partisanshiI
will serve two important purposes:
l. A pro-ally Turkey lies across the
archaeological overland route, block
ing the realization of an old German
imperial ambition.
g. Turkey is the corridor through
which an attack upon the Rumanian
casus sources of Soviet oil can best
be directed.
Early in February news dispatches
from Syria, Egypt and Turkey con-
tanned the first semi-official news of
the army of the Orient that was being
gathered under the command of Gen.
Maxine Weygand (French) and Gen.
Archibald Wavell (English). The
French army base is Syria. The Brit
ish base in Egypt.
The arrival on February ~ of a
large contingent of Australia-New Zea-
land troops added to the strength of
the Near East armies. The number of
men and the amount of material un-
der French-B ritish-Turkish command
are of course secret. Turkey is sup
posed to have $4,000 troops. Wey-
gand is reported to have 275,000 and
to be making preparations for another
100000. British forces in the Near
East must number more than 100000.
The army of the Orient will contain
at the very least a million men.
There are reasons to believe that
the Turkish French-British armies are
being concentrated for a thrust at the
Baku-Batum oil pipe line and the So
Wet oil fields in and near the eau
casus. The most important oil-pro-
ducing center outside of the Americas
lies in Caucasia. British-French au-
thorities would naturally welcome an
opportunity for it's control.
Germany and Russia are both de-
pendent upon Caucasian oil. Military
occupation by the Allied armies would
strike a hard blow at the German
Soviet economic front.
Should Germany continue to work
with the Soviet Union, there are only
two practicable channels through
which British French offensive
against Russia could be directed. One
is Finland. The other is Turkey. If
the Allies are planning drive on
the Soviet Union, Turkish participa-
ton will be invaluable.
The strategic nature of oil and of
the Black sea both played their part
in the bargain that has transferred |
hundreds of millions of British-French |
money to Turkey in exchange for |
Turkish participation in a war to lib |
crate Rumanian and Caucasian oil |
from nazi-soviet control. Incidentally |
such move, if successful, would in
crease the British-American monopoly |
of the worlds oil supplies to almost
1000.

After five days, the court records
showed, under circumstances cal
culated to break the strongest nerves,
the stoutest resistance" one of the
men signed a confession. This con-
fession was not to the liking of the
state district attorney and the man
was questioned" for an additional
day
ITO permit human lives to be for
feited upon confessions thus obtained,

quirement of due process of law a
meaningless symbol" the supreme
court held.

clared, mo more solemn responsibility

liberately planned and inscribed for

A NEW FRONTIER

son. Not so long ago she was ardent
ly anti-war and anti-fascist and the
Lord knows what else. More recently
she has become noted for being a
great analyst of propaganda. Doro-
thy Thompson, in fact, is the ulti-
mate horrible example of what | have
been warning against in these columns
since the beginning She is the per-
son who can disembowel everybodys
propaganda but her own. To me,
Dorothy is at once very sad and very
funny She skates nimbly over her
thin ice; and the thinner it gets the
more nonchalant she becomes, the
more she resents anyone's implication
that it isn't ten feet thick. Dorothy
is, in fact, miracle girl: For long
while now she has been skating
around in the thinnest, purest air, with
no ice in sight
For instance, her recent column
about John Chamberlain statement
on the youth problem. Chamberlain
said youth weren't listening to any
one who couldn't promise them jobs
Miss Thompson pointed out quite cor
rectly that Hitler's success was gained
largely by offering the youth jobs. 1t
is high ~ improbable that John Cham
berlain was unaware of this, or OF the
rest of the answer, which was that
Hitler offered the German youth first
a piece of hokum-the promise of a
greater Germany and security against
Bolshevism-and threw in jobs as a
sort of bride. What Chamberlain
meant was that American youth have
reached the stage where they are be-
ginning to insist on jobs without the
hokum.
But Miss Thompson couldn't stop
with one error Shed no doubt heard
that youth were beginning to disap-
prove the second World war and warn
the British empire should go under
against American participation, even if,
So she squared off to attack that.
First she delivered herself of a quaint
bit of scholarly wisdom about the old
religious dictum, "In the beginning
was the Word" This, said Miss
Thompson, means that language is
necessary to thought, and that when
we have words we have thinking and
henc ereasonable action. Don't tell,
but that old religious dictum was the
first name-calling device. The Word
was mystic and inscrutable; it laid
the seal of sanctity or damnation
it was applied; and of course
precluded all thought of any kind).
But anyway, Miss Thompson said
youth should not condemn this war as
an 'imperialist" war because she for
one knew thta it was "revolution-
ary'' war as WE'LL and that the out
come would not see one stone of cap
talism left upon another. AS for
American participation; tush, there
wasn't chance. But youth must
choose between the victory of democ-
'acy britain and France) or the vic
DRY of dictatorship Germany and
Russia Miss Thompson
lidnt say whether the downfall of
capitalism made her sad or happy, but
the was much concerned about the
vouth being misled
And there you are: The legions of
light against the legions of darkness,
md Miss Thompson on a white horse
You see what can happen to an expert
analyst?

EMPLOYED ZINC MINER
HELPS Wife BEAR
BABY IN HEN COOP

WASHINGTON -FP)- Senatorial
inquiry into the plight of miners in
the tri-state zinc and lead mining
areas was demanded here by Presi-
dent Reid Robinson of the -Interna-
tional Union of Mine, Mill and Smelt-
er workers (CIO).
Robinson pointed to the story of a
miner who was forced to live with his
wife and two children in a 10 by
Y foot chicken shack although en-
ployed. The miner, lacking money
for a physician, acted as midwife
when his wife gave birth to baby
in the makeshift quarters
Four hours after attending the birth
of his child, it was reported, the miner
had to hurry off to his job.
1--WE have been trying desperately
to alleviate these conditions" Robin
son wrote to Senators Wagner d., N.
W and Murray 3D., Mont.) "but find
that it is impossible unless the gov
eminent will take some action"

GIRDLER COMPANY
UNION STAGES STRIP
TEASE SHOW IN YMCA

GADSDEN, Ala.-(FP)-How Tom
Girdler's Republic Steel Corp. used
five naked women to build up attend
ance at company union meeting was
revealed in affidavits made by men
who saw the performance.
The meeting, called by the Republic
Steel Employe Representation Plan,
was held February in the Y. M. G. A.
building at the plant Business was
disposed of within a few minutes and
the five entertainers from Birming-
ham were then introduced to the 200
men present.
| Cheered by leaders of the company
union, the girls first danced across
the stage, removing their clothes one
piece at a time as the applause in
creased Finally they had nothing
left except shoes and necklaces of
costume jewelry.
Then, donning cellophane garments,
the girls engaged in a dance which
reliable observers said was calculated
to arouse the baser instincts of the
company unionists. Some of the men
became so enthusiastic over this phase
of the Employe Representative Plan
that they leaped to the stage and
served as partners. Their interven-
ton resulted in considerable wear and
tear for the cellophane.
The girls were introduced by name
by D. s. Campbell, who is employed
in the Republic office. Among those
present was William Alexander, COM
pany cop, whose commission requires
him to enforce he law against indie
cent shows just as if he were city
cop.
Copies of the affidavits and photo
graph of one of the girls IL action
are being forwarded to Washington
for the attention of the senate and
house committees investigating the
Wagner act and NLRB.

Timber Growing
Faster Than Cut

Minnesota timber is now growing
faster than it is being cut, according
to reports by officials of the state
forestry division. This is complete
reversal of conditions which have
prevailed in the state during the past
so years, it is claimed, and in face of
the fact that more than $500 active
timber permits are in force, employ
ing about 10000 men cutting and
hauling state timber to market. This
does not include operations in pri-
vately owned and Federal forests.
Since April l, last year, 1,116 tim
Der permits have been issued by the
division, the records of the division
show. During 1889 total of 49,
653, 1899 board feet were offered for
sale at public auction by the division
in Lake, Cook, Itasca and Koochi-
ching counties, at an appraised value
of S73,O12.79. Of this 17,143,63l
board feet were disposed of at an
appraised value of s55,6O7.44.
Law Amended.
The 1889 session of the legislature
amended the state timber law so that
all green timber no longer must be
sold at auction to the highest bidder,
but that amounts appraised at $3.50
or less can be sold for cash at private
sale, but for not less than the ap-
praised price.
Under this act, the division last
year sold a total of 1851 ,266 board
feet and $3.50 Christmas trees. The
total receipts were $38,19144. In
addition to this 15,598,643 board feet
of dead-and down timber were dis
posed of, for which the receipts were
$12,226.SO.
In his annual report to Director
H. C. Weber of the division, j. G.
Gannoway, forester in charge of tim
Der, states that the state now has
2,500,000,000 board feet of timber,
most of which is fully matured or
over-matured, which must be sold
if the state is to receive the maximum
income. He also states that the divis-
ion is swamped with applications to
buy both green and dead-and-down
timber under the new act, but be-
cause of lack of funds and high cost
of administration, the division has
been able to make only about Is
percent of the green timber sales for
which applications have been re-
ceived
According to officials of the divis-
ion, the bulk of the logging today is
done by small operators who employ
from five to 20 men in their camps,
and the lumber sawed by small port
able mills mostly. Only two mills of
any size remain in operation in Min
nesota at present-one at Virginia
and one at Redby.
