ANTIUNION LAWS RULED INVALID BY
STATE COURTS in OREGON. CALIFORNIA

Salem, Ore (ILNS). - Oregon's
drastic anti-picketing law, scathingly
denounced by organized labor as an
attempt to destroy the effectiveness of
unionism, was declared unconstitu-
tional here in a 5-to-1 decision by the
State Supreme Court.
The decision reversed three Judge
Circuit Court in Portland, which held
the law valid.
All labor joined in fighting the law,
the legal battle being conducted by
the American Federation of Labor,
Congress Of Industrial Organizations
and railroad brotherhoods.
The high court declared it must fol-
low United States Supreme Court
decision last spring which held Ala
bama and California picketing statutes
were invalid because they violated the
rights of free speech and free press.
Labor Halls Decision
The Oregon court said: "The Su-
preme Court has, in the cited cases
(i. e. California and Alsbama), an
nounced broad construction of the
guarantees of freedom of speech and
the press, and applying this concep-
ton to laws aimed at picketing has
held that publicizing the facts of
labor dispute in peaceful way
through appropriate means, whether
by pamphlet, by word of mouth, or by
banner, is within the liberty of COM
munication which is secured to every
person by the fourteenth amendment
against abridgement by state"
d. E. Nickerson, executive secretary
of the Oregon State Federation of
Labor, said he understood "that pro-
ponents of the measure cannot appeal
to the United States Supreme Court
since no federal rights were involved" !"
"We really ought to declare holi-
day." he added.
Paul E. Gurske, federation presi-
dent, commented: at is a great vic
tory and comes after an unrelenting
fight of nearly two years"
Two Big Legal Victories
Under the law, passed in 1888 by
referendum vote, picketing was con-
fined to a bona fide labor dispute be-
tween an employer and more than half
of his employees. The act forbade ju-
risdictional strikes and outlawed and
curtailed political and Embarrassing ac-
tivities of union labor.
1t provided that violators might be
sentenced to county jails and fined up
to $1,000.
Organized labor fought the law
from the beginning, seeing in it an
attempt to destroy unionism as an
effective force for the betterment of
wage earners' conditions.
The decision on the Oregon law is
one of two big legal victories for la
Dor, which are causing rejoicing in
labor ranks in all the Pacific Coast
states. 1t followed ruling by the
California Supreme Court, holding
that courts have no right to enjoin
picketing, provided it is peaceful and
honest.
California Ruling Sweeping
The California court also held that
labor's right to unionize plant is
paramount to an individuals right to
refuse to join union and fatty ruled
that union shop contracts are legal

While daytime skirts have been get

Housewives can keep in trim right

of exercising will take out the kinks,
pep up the personality and streamline
the figure. All the current magazines
are full of outlines for reducing and
corrective routines, but for simply
keeping in trim and timber, there is
nothing quite so good as the old-time

Secondary Boycott Legal

4-Closed shop contracts are legal.
5-"The secondary boycott is law
full, and the fact that a union intends
to institute boycott does not make
the picketing illegal"
e." "Picketing without strike is no
more unlawful than strike without
picketing."
1.-THE public ultimately pays the
full cost of every labor dispute and
better relations must be established. y
8-Workmen have the right to en-
gage in concerted activities for the
purpose of collective bargaining or
other mutual aid for protection"
9-The state labor code was up
held, in effect.
The decision was given in what is
known as the Howard case, in which
an automobile company sought to en-
join an A. F. of L. auto salesmen's
union from picketing the sales office
in an effort to win union shop con-
tract.

Women in Industry

A woman chemist with the aid of
two male associates in the Bureau of
Home Economics, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, has discovered a method
of sterilizing wool fabrics which has
proved a boon to hospitals and dry
cleaners. Existing methods, such as
boiling and heating under pressure to
destroy organisms proved unsatisfac-
tory, so from much experimentation
it was found that by placing the wool
fabrics in standard dry-cleaning SOL
vent and heating it, it could be ster-
ilized without damage to the fibers.
American women, who long ago won
their battle for suffrage, will be in
terested in the fight being made by
the women of Mexico with labor
women playing a leading part, to win
the right to vote.
Congress enacted a law which, it
was hoped, would give suffrage for
the election just passed. But only two
of the required % states had ratified
the measure.
Now, with election out of the way,
the fight has been renewed Already
the new Congress has been put under
fire. The Mexican branch of the Union
of American Women submitted let
ter demanding that the legal action
be completed.
Now that suffrage can have no eff

For Better HOmemaking

Green is one of the most restful
colors in interior decoration. The
light tints should be used for the walls
and the deeper shades for the floors
or draperies. But do not combine
blue-green and yellow green in the
same room as they are not happy
combination.
Protect your porcelain enamel sink
and drainboard with rubber mats if
you would make it last and remain
free from discoloration. Once porce-
lain is marred then practically nothing
can be done to remedy the damage.
If you use a powdered cleanser see
that it is free of grit. But sure to
protect your sink from acid fruit juices
which will ruin the finish.
