Cleared by Court
In ViqiIanfe Case

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. II. (UP)
The Red River Lumber company
of Westwood was cleared today of
charges it had sponsored vigilante
activities against union organiza-
ton during many turbulent months.
The United States circuit court of
appeals denied a plea of the ma
tional labor relations board that
the lumber firm be held in con-
tempt for its alleged failure to OBJ
serve a court order issued Feb. 6,
1898. directing it to cease inter-
ference with labor organizational
efforts of its employees.
Presiding Judge Curtis D. Will
bur wrote the decision, in which
Justices Clifton Mathews and Albert
Lee Stephens concurred.
The court held the lumber COM
pany had ''in the main" complied
with a labor board order and in
at least two counts should not be
held in contempt.
On a third count which concerned
the discharge of two employees. the
court ordered attorneys to file briefs
and affidavits within 10 days where
after the matter will be taken under
advisement.
"The nature of the charges of
contempt indicates it is unnecessary
10 proceed further with the charges
so far as they relate to the alleged
disturbances of the peace" the de-
ciSion read.
Nothing is to be gained by max
ing a technical ruling with regard
to the sLfficiency of the allegations
OF the petition to charge violation
of our order where it is clear in
the light of the affidavits before us
that it will be useless to proceed
further with the charge of con-
tempt growing out of the alleged
breaches of the peace"
The labor board had alleged the
company ''incited, assisted and en-
couraged vigilantes" in Westwood
for the purpose of union interfer-
ence. The court held board attor-
neys had failed to establish a basis
for the contempt order sought.
Specifically the board alleged GER
tain employees of the company, also
acting as law enforcement officers,
had either participated in this
activity or had refused to act the
part of peace officers when neceS-
sity arose.

The Red Lion gasoline used by
each of the competing cars was
purchased by AAA officials from a
regular independent dealer. The
Lion Head motor oil was also pro-
cured in the same manner by the
officials and was identical TO the
product any motorist may purchase.
A week prior to the run, every
one of the cars was turned over TO
American Automobile association
officials at Gilmore Stadium where
a small army of official mechanics
went TO work to ascertain that each
car was identical to that which
any motorist could purchase. Mo-
tors were taken down, gas lines
checked, carburetors examined.
Officials were so particular during
the early phase of the run that
each car was subjected to a mini
mum Of 234 separate examinations
before the final seal of approval
as to stock car status was awarded.
