AntPcketing Laws Land i'm Ash Can as Court Declares
Two Laws Unconstitutional. Rights of Labor
Picket Lines Compared to Property Rights.
tWNU Servlce)

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). Or
ganized labor's right to picket was
upheld in two emphatically worded
decisions by the Supreme Court on
Alabama and California anti-picket-
ing laws.
The court declared the two laws
unconstitutional on the ground they
violated fundamental guarantees of
free speech and free press.
Justice Murphy, newest member of
the court, wrote the two opinions.
Justice McReynolds, die-hard conserv-
ative, was the only dissenter.
"The safeguarding of these rights
to the end that men may speak as
they think on matters vital to them
and that falsehoods may be exposed
through the processes of education
and discussion is essential to free
government" Justice Murphy said in
his opinion on the appeal of Byron
Thornhill, a union member, from an
Alabama state law.
Peaceful Picketing Upheld
Peaceful picketing is means of
disseminating information within
that area of free discussion that is
guaranteed by the Constitution, y
Murphy said. The rights of labor on
the picket line might be compared, he
added, to the property rights and
business rights of employers and must
be protected as carefully.
The Alabama case involved picket
ing of company in Tuscaloosa
County. Thornhill, president of an
A. F. of L. union of creosoters, asked
a non-union worker not to return tc

payment. If she is not age 65 at the
time of his death, she will become
eligible when she reaches age 65.
Thus, if the workers primary in
surance payment is $50 month, his
wife, at age 65, receives $15 and there
would be $45 month for the two.
At the husbands death, his widow
would receive $22.50 per month.
If a wife or a widow has worked
on a job covered by the law, and can
qualify at age IS for insurance pay
ments of her own which are greater
than what she would receive on ac-
count of her husbands earnings, she
will get the larger amount.
Allowances for Children
If the worker dies fully or cur
rently insured, leaving a widow under
65 years of age with one or more
young children in her care, the widow
would receive her three-fourths of the
husbands primary insurance payment
until the youngest child is 16, or 18

work during strike. 1t was agreed
the picketing was peaceful but the
Alabama courts sustained the law
under which Thornhill was convicted
of 'loitering and picketing."
Labor Supported Appeals
In the California case John Carlson,
"a Clio. member, was convicted
after carrying a banner before a
tunnel project.
Appeals by the two men have been
supported by organized labor. Joseph
A. Padway, general counsel of the
A. F. of L., recently appeared for
Thornhill, while Lee Pressman, gen.
eral counsel of the c. l. O., spoke for
Carlson. Both attorneys fought the
contentious that prohibition of pick
citing was a correct use of police
power.
Justice Murphy felt that the Ala
bama and California cases were SO
much alike that only one needed ex-
haustive comment. He chose the
Thornhill, or Alabama, case.
The Alabama law, Justic Murphy
commented, had been construed by
the state courts to stop one man from
walking slowly and peacefully along
with sign.
"Area of Free Discussion"
"In the circumstances of our times
the dissemination of information con-
cerning the facts of a labor union
dispute must be regarded as within
that area of free discussion that is
guaranteed by the Constitution" he
asserted. at is recognized now that
satisfactory hours and wages and
working conditions in industry and a
bargaining position which makes
these possible have an Importance
which is not less than the interests
of those in the business or industry
directly concerned.
''The health of the present genera
tion and of those as yet unborn may
depend on these matters, and the
practices in single factory may have
economic repercussions upon a whole
region and affect widespread systems
of marketing"

Mardi Gras Season
OPENS as New Orleans
Also Marks Battle
Louis Johnson, Present
For Speech Today,
Attends Boil
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-The
Mardi Gras season officially opened
tonight as the Twelfth Night Revel-
ers reveled at a glittering ball IN the
municipal auditorium.
But as if that wasn't enough the
city also began three-day Andrew
Jackson celebration on the site Of
the battle of New Orleans.
Assistant Secretary of War Louis
Johnson, here for a Sunday Jackson
address, was an honored visitor at
the Twelfth Night ball.
Balls will be held nightly hence
forth until the carnival's climax in
the revelry of Mardf Gras Febru-
ary 6.
Display in Old Quarter.
The Twelfth Night Revelers' af-
fair falls on the traditional date of
arrival of the three wise men at
Bethlehem. The day was generally
observed in French and Spanish
quarters of the city.
Vieux Care (old quarter) shops
displayed costumes of Fiji Islanders,
Knights of the Round Table and the
old favoriteScowboyS, Indians and
ballet dancers.
This display is, perhaps, more sig
nificant of Mardi Gras than the be-
ginning of the balls, for only a few
hundred participants and few
thousand spectators can enjoy even
the largest ball, but the hilarious
masking among the populace on
Shrove Tuesday itself is what makes
Mardi Gras part of the life OF New
Orleans.
Visitors as Many as Usual.
Hotels reported advance registra-
ton indicated as many visitors as
usual for Mardi Gras, despite the
fact that it comes this year only six
weeks after the huge influx for the
Sugar Bowl sports series.
The Jackson program commemo-
rates the l25th anniversary Of the
battle of New Orleans. Boy Scouts,
National Guardsmen, Regular Army
troops and school childrens organi-
cations are participating. A dinner in
remembrance of Gen. Jackson's re-
turn to New Orleans 100 years ago
will conclude the program Monday
night at the Historical Museum.

Hopes for Victory
Voiced by Rivals
In Louisiana Race
Politicians Soy Jones
Has Best Chance
To Unseot. Long
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6-Con-
trasting claims of victory came from
Louisiana's gubernatorial candidates
tonight as they prepared for the
final full week of campaigning be-
fore a primary which observers say
will determinate the fate of Long
ism" after an 11-year sway.
Gov. Earl K. Long, brother of
the late Senator Huey P. Long,
headed toward New Orleans from
freezing North Louisiana with the
prediction that on primary day,
January 16, he would carry the
city by $4,000 votes and all but
10 of the So outer parishes.
Sam H. Jones, Lake Charles at
torney, running on reform" plat
form and with a promise to purify
State politics and officeholding, ex-
pressed confidence of victory as he,
too, turned toward New Orleans,
where 10000 voters usually cast
about q third of the total vote.
Absentee Ballots Mailed.
The first votes were cast today
In the form of absentee" ballots
which began to be mailed to Baton
Rouge.
Mr.. Jones is conceded by poll
ticianS the best chance of unseat-
ing the younger brother of King
fish" Long, but three other candi-
dates continued active campaign
ing, with at least two equally con-
fldent of victory.
These were State Senator James
A. Noe of Monroe and James H.
Morrison, Hammond attorney, who
said today Jimmy Morrison will
be so far in front on January 16
there won't be any second primary"
Vincent Moseley, Opelousas attor-
ney, and fifth candidate hasn't
claimed victory.
Surveillance Becomes Issue.
Federal surveillance of the pri-
mary to detect any frauds such as
have been charged in some recent
Louisiana elections became an elec-
ton issue when Mr.. Noe took ex-
ception to Gov. Longs criticism of
Assistant Attorney General O. John
Rogge, who had invited public as
sistance in detecting frauds at the
polling booths.
Gov. Long said Louisiana didn't
need Mr.. Rogge to run" the elec-
ton, and said his forces didn't need
to Ste2i an election.
"Mr. Long may not need Mr..
Rogge to watch the vote on the
18th, but the people of Louisiana
do" Mr.. Noe said on the stump.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune
and New Orleans States tonight
came out for Mr.. Jones election,
saying he was the man best quail
fled and equipped. Earlier this
week the New Orleans Item declared
for Mr.. Jones, saying his election
was the "surest, easiest and cheap
est way to retire the State machine
from the power it has abused"
GO. p. to Hold Primary.
Further complicating the unpre-
dictable political situation, the Re-
pubncans have decided to hold a
primary January 16. It will be the
first held since the primary law was
enacted after "carpetbagger days"
The Republican primary will be
held only in 81 New Orleans pre-
cincts and out-State precincts,
however, as the Republicans could
Oro1v Yn1ISter five 0r more repiSfQred
Republicans in these precincts. The
total number of Republicans regis
tered in the 81 precincts was 709.
