IMPORTANT LABOR VICTORIES

I ABOR has good reason to rejoice over sweep
- ing decisions by the Oregon and California
Supreme Courts, uphoding union rights including
the vital right of peaceful picketing.
An important feature of the California decision
was uphoding Of union shop contracts as legal
and the courts declaration that, "An employer
has no constitutional to right conduct his business
rs closed non-union shop
Both decisions are of national significance and
interest, probably heralding similar decisions else
where, as they were based fundamentally on re-
cent United States Supreme Court rulings up
holding peaceful pcketing. The Oregon decision
was especially important, as the anti-union law it
Illed was advocated nationally by union-hating
interests and led to attempts to pass similar laws
m other states. The few that were passed were
not as drastic as the Oregon monstroSty.
1t is worthy Of note that the Oregon victory
was won by united action Of all labor, the A. F.
If L., ClO and unatfiliated railroad unions joining
IN the two-year fight to have the law held uncon-
stitutonal.

MEXICO NOW SEEKS U. S. LOAN

A FTER years of grabbing more than billion
:, dollars worth of farms, ranches, railroads,
factories mines and oil properties made productive
with American money, initiative, brains and en-
..ergy, Mexico is broke. This was inevitable. In
stead of increasing wealth by dividing it, Mexico
has learned that you destroy it by dividing it.
=, Now that she has destroyed her wealth created
with foreign brains and private capital, Mexico
. initiates novel way to recOup herself. Her poll
ticians know that private capital will not come to
her in view of their destruction of private
capital So they set themselves down for to think
and they've thought up scheme in wink. 1t is
so simple Since there are more suckers in the
United States, they say to themselves, why not
go after Uncle Sam himself?
Knowing that the old gentleman is an easy
mark when properly approached they send one
of their bright young men to Washington as their
borrower. He is none other than Antonio Espinosa
de los Monteros, Under-Secretary Of Finance. He
also is Harvard University graduate and gradu-
ate of Harvard Law School where he was reported
!. to be disciple of Felix Frankfuter now Justice
of the United States Supreme Court. He also is re-
ported to be a close friend Of the famous Tommy
Corcoran. Thus he can open doors closed to most
people.
Will he get loan of 25 or so millions of u. S.
taxpayers money for Mexico? No on the out
side yet knows. But he is working hard and per
hape is making headway. His persistence makes
our heavily burdened taxpayers fear the worst
Senor Espinosa de los Monteros and those Of
fcials in Washington who give him aid comfort
and encouragement either ignore or forget the
facts that:
" government loan to Mexico, in the face of
her refusal to pay for return the properties of
American citizens which she has grabbed would
serve to put an apparent stamp Of y. 5. official
approval upon the WrOngdoing of her politicians
81 and thereby tend to encourage them in their way
u wardness which brings misery to the Mexican
people and creates serious defense problem for
q. the United States;
- government loan will not solve the funda-
mental problem created by MeXicos sociastic
spree. It's solution lies in MeXicO'S adhering to
the principles of simple justice
. What is most needed is for Mexico to alter hel
course of grabbing foreign-ownod property and
thereby stimulate the flow Of private capital Gov
ernmcnt loans will be only drop in the bucket
: as compared with MeXico's capital needs.
And finally that the purpose for which the
press reports she ostensibly seeks the loan is to
trple-track and rehabilitate the railroad across
the Isthmus Of Tehuantcpec over which she could
ship oil grabbed from u. S. citizens and sell it tC
Japan Meanwhile Japan shakes her fist in Uncle
Sans face.
D.. One taxpayer cannot help believing, consider
ing her record and her purpose, that Mexico should
not be loaned l.. s. taxpayers money until such
time as her politicians give ample and concrete
proof OF their intention to become good neghbors,

Government BY Assassination

(From the Electrical Workers JournaD
Leon Trotsky, represented the op-
position in Russia. He was crotchety,
unreasonable, scheming old man, of
high nuisance capacity, but his death
by stealth nevertheless remains a
black blot on the pages of history. 1t
dramatizes, too, the whole obscene and
wicked Russian system.
Trotsky was horribly murdered by
supposed friend. The murderer
wormed his way into Trotsky's con-
fidence, and into the bosom of his
family in a land far away from Rus
sia. The murderer was a Stain agent
who felt the greatest repugnance for
his task. Why then, did he do it ?
He did it to save his mother. Stalin's
secret agents informed the murderer
that, unless he completed his horrible
Job, they in turn would destroy his
mother. Could any web of intrigue
be more rotten than this!
What to do with the opposition is
the gist Of political science. In de-
mocracies, the opposition is allowed
to have its say. Under relationships
the opposition is not only silenced anC
driven out, it is hrutally and wickedly
slain. In Trotsky's assassination, the
whole uncivilzed Russian system is
laid bare, and held up to view. 1t is
repugnant to all men Of good will.

WHAT NEXT?

An improved "Klystron," a gen.
orator that sends electrical power
through the air was demonstrated
recently before engineer pro-
fessors at laboratories of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring CO., in Bloomfield, n. J.
The generator was hailed as bring
ing the wireless transmission OF
electricity a step nearer to prac-
tical application, such as prOvid-
ing power for illumination and
domestic uses in homes. Visitors
were given flashlights to which
was attached a short wire anten-
ma, and as the generator poured
out it's micro waves, focused
through space with the aid of
six-fOot horn, the bulbs were light
ed as though they had storage
batteries in them.

Hershey Chocolate Corporation and
Local 464, Bakery and Confectionery

A corporation spokesman said the
hourly wage increase will make up for
the difference in working time. The
old contract called for a 42-hour maxi
mum work week.

! COMMENT ON WORLD
: EVENTS

War has not brought a stop to
British labor progress. During twelve
months of conflict, membership OF
British unions increased substantially
the annual report of the British
Trades Union Congress general coun-
Gil reveals.
The council told the annual meeting
of the congress at Southport that
membership of affiliated unions had
increased in 1889 by nearly 100000
and that the gain had continued in
the nine months from the first of this
year until the opening of the con-
gress in early October. Aggregate
membership at the beginning of 194C
was 4,S64,S51, the council report said
British labor is on the march, wal
or no war. The report and labor's po.
sition of prominence in the present
government makes this clear and re-
fleets credit on the spirit, intelligence
and leadership of Britain's organized
workers.
X X X
In the introduction to the report
the general council comments on la
boris position in the nation and in
dustry, emphasizing that the trade
union movement is in the forefront OF
the battle which will determine the
course of history. 1t says:
"The position of the trade union
movement in industry, and it's repre-
sentative capacity as consumers as
we'll as producers has never been
more fully acknowledged. That power
has been welded wisely and well.
"We have acted as great natl
onal movement for the protection of
our members, but we have not forgot
ten that power brings responsibilities
and at such a time of national crisis
those responsibilities to the nation
have been inflexibly pursued"
X X X
Then the general council shows that
it is looking to the future by warn
ing that the general friendliness now
felt for the labor movement may not
last indefinitely and urging continued
efforts to strengthen the movement.
eve do not imagine" says the
council, "that in less critical times
which will assuredly come, all those
who now acclaim the efforts of trade
unionists, will always be so favorably
disposed toward us. So while we are
advancing we are not overlooking the
consolidation of our ranks"
The report does not forget the rank
and file of workers, paying tribute to
their determination and fortitude in
the following words:
"The workers of all grades are Civ
ing all they know to the task of pro-
viding the means whereby the mer
in the forces can raise an impenetrable
barrier to the Nazi hordes and in gooo
time pursue the path to victory.

An important section Of the report
summarizes the activities of the gen.
eral council on matters arising direct
ly out of the war.
Full details are given of the ma.
chinery of consultation with the gov.
ernment departments. Members OF
the trade union movement are serving
on a great many committees of this
character. The object throughout, the
| report points out, "has been to carry
out the policy laid down by successive
congresses to preserve and extend the
rights and functions of the trade
unions, while supporting the nationa
| resistance to NaZi aggression"

ANDREWS EASILY
OUTPOINTS LASKY
Jimmy Bell Decisions Billy
Cooper in Semi-Final at
New Haven

New Haven, July 10.-Willie An
drews, local lightweight, had an easy
time with Lloyd Lasky, New York
Hebrew, in winning the decision In
the eight-round star bout on Dick
Gray's fight card at the White City
Stadium last night, when 1900 fans
saw the UNDERGRAD take the play
away from the top bout.
Lasky wasn't a match for An
drews, who despite the fact that he
was in with a shorter and light
hitting opponent, wasn't anywhere
near as impressive as the week pre-
vious when he drew with Johnny
Mack.
The only knockdown Of the fight
came in the fourth round when
Lasky dropped from q right to the
stomach landed at close range. The
chunky New Yorker stumbled as he
attempted to reach the rangy An.
drews, and with the exception Of
the fifth and seventh rounds when
he rushed Willie, was he able tc
land with any success. Both weighed
1874 1-2.
Jimmy Bell, 149, local Negro
belted out a decisive victory over
Billy Cooper. 146. Phoenix, Ariz., ir
the eight-round semi-final. Cooper
started like a whirlwind, but 1t was
more than two rounds before Bel
turned him into a breeze.
Cooper shot lefts and rights al
Jimmy's head in the first two heats
but slowed up under the winners
steady left-hand attack which was
scoring both to the head and stom-
ach. Although there were no knock
downs, Bell staggered Cooper sew
eral times, and cut the losers left
eye in the third.
Benny Cartagena, 1879, New York
and Jackie Murray, 142, Bellaire, O.
stood toe-to-toe for six rounds anc
when 1t was all over referee Buddy
Howard called 1t draw. However
Murray made a great bid for vic.
tory in the final round, but at that
found himself on the floor at the
bell.
Murray was dropped for no.
count in the fourth, but came back
to make a bid In the sixth. He
absorbed considerable punishment ir
the third, fourth and fifth.
Art MacAlpine, 1859 Ia, Spring
field Negro, won on a technica
kayo over Jimmy Weed, 1853 IL
New Haven, in the fourth round Of
a scheduled six. Weeds left eye
was cut Just before the bell endec

fused to allow him to come out fol-
