DON'T CONFUSE
A.F.L. and CLIO. Both Have
Stdte. County and Munic-
ipdl Employees Unions

There is confusing publicity in the
daily press about labor organizations
in the State and local government
employe field. There are two organi-
cations operating in this field with
similar titles. One is the American
Federation of State, County, and Mu-
nicipal Employees, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor; the
other is the State, County, and Mu-
nicipal Workers of America, affiliated
with the G. |. O.
The first named organization, the
American Federation of State, Coun-
ty, and Municipal Employees, is reg
ularly established and chartered in
ternational union of the American
Federation Of Labor.
1t was chartered in 1886, and at the
present time has organizations estab.
lished in approximately 500 commu
mites in 80 States.
1t is fine American Federation OF
Labor organization with good leader
ship, and should not be confused with
the State, County, and Municipa
Workers of America &C. l. o., which
is confined almost entirely to New
York City, has membership of 1900
or less, and, according to press re
ports, is dominated by Communists.
The American Federation of Labol
press should clearly differentiate be
tween these organizations when an!
references is made to them.

.Anti-Picket Law
Voided By Court
Reno Ordinance Hit by State
Supreme Court In
Final Decision

Reno, Nevada. - Organized labor
here and throughout the State are
jubilant over the decision of the Ne
vada Supreme Court holding invalid
the Reno anti-picketing ordinance.
The decision of the Supreme Court,
handed down on November 21, upheld
the right of labor to engage in peace
full picketing and thus ended one of
the most controversial issues before
the court in many years.
The Reno anti-picketing ordinance
was educated by the city council in 1892.
In July, 1897, certain Reno labor
organizations set the stage to test the
Iconstitutionality Of the ordinance. At
THAT time Charles Reel and Alvin
Rae were arrested and charged with
picketing local wholesale grocery
concern. They were found guilty in
the Police Court and thereafter ap-
pealed to the District Court.
At this stage Of the proceedings
the Reno Central Trades and Labor
Council took over the defense of their
case and employed Lloyd V. Smith,
Reno attorney, to carry the case
through the courts. The case was
argued before the District Court on
February 21, 1888. Attorney Smith
argued that the ordinance was uncon-
stitutional because:
/. 1t infringed upon the right of
personal liberty as guaranteed by the
State and Federal Constitutions.
2. 1t was an unreasonable and OPP
pressive restriction of the freedom Of
| speech.
3. 1t restricted the right freely to
assemble.
4. 1t was contrary to the public
policy of the State of Nevada as that
policy was declared by its statutes.
5. 1t violated the provisions of the
National Labor Relations Act.
Hon. Thomas F. Moran (since de-
ceased), then Judge Of the District
Court, entered judgment on June 2
1898, setting aside the Police Court
convictions and holding the ordinance
to be unconstitutional on all five points
urged.
The City of Reno took the case to
the Nevada Supreme Court on writ
Of review where the case was argued
and submitted for consideration March
16, 1899.
In July and August, 1899, several
union members were arrested for
picketing. They were represented by
Attorney Lloyd V. Smith and released
on habeas corpus proceedings.
The Supreme Court, by its decision
entered in Nevada, held that the city
ordinance in so far as it prohibited
peaceful picketing was unconstitution
al and void, and thereby guaranteed
to labor the right to peacefully picket
in the State of Nevada.
This decision, according to Attor.
ney Smith, is final and cannot be re.
viewed by any court.

Newark, N. 1.-THE expected union
battle between the A. F. of L. and the
c. |. O. for control of workers in the
building trades loomed as a bitter
fight to finish last night following
a meeting of the Essex Trades Coun-
Gil at the Newark Labor Lyceum.
Frank O'Connor, of the Building

Neuwirth Brothers, operators OF
the B. & N. Tire company, SIC
North Third street, said last week.
This firm is exclusive local dis
ltibutor for the famous General
tire.
The confusion built up in the
public's mind about tire prices and
quality, the emphasis placed upon
bargain tires instead of on tires
that are safe to use under modern
driving conditions, and the actual
Misrepresentation of down-grade,

up the current confusion about the

unprecedented low prices and in
creased trade-in allowances for

are making this fight-putting our
special prices on first-line tires on

into u store, whether they buy
from us or from any other tire
dealer in town., to insist on first

They declared that there are two
questions every tire buyer should
ask before making a purchase.

ca SIS this the grade that comes
on new cars?"
They pointed out that General
tires temporarily being sold at the
greatly reduced prices, are the
finest tires that money can buy
