nCIothing Stores Pickefed
In Union Contract DISPUTE

Twelve downtown mems clothing
stores were being picketed TODAY
by representatives of the Amalpa.
mated Clothing Workers of America.
Local No. 1l8. while negotiations
over wage provisions in a new union
contract remained stalemated.
j. Bernard, business agent of the
union, an affiliate of the Congress
OF Industrial Organizations. said the
employers refused to meet demands
1or wage increases. More than so
tallors and other clothing workers
are affected by the walkout.
The employers. in a formal state
ment, said: Since the C. I. o.
union in 1887, organized the en-
ployes in our shops we have con.
slstently supported it. We have
given increased wages annually and
the union has been secure in the
knowledge that its members and no
others were employed in our shops.
(Former contracts have carried
closed shop clauses.)
BY their insistence upon wage
increases which we can not posi-
bly, give at this time the union puts
itself in the position of seeking to
destroy those employers who have
befrlended it. We reiterate
that We are and always have been
ready and willing to renew the
unions contract which expired
April 25."

Confidential Report
Shown by Legislator
To Spur Defense
Hobbs Says 1t Reveals
Propogondists Tell U. S.
Seomen Not to Fight
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tHt AsSOClAteQ fTtSS.
Confidential Navy reports of at
tempts to subvert fighting men" of
the United States were used by a
House member yesterday to urge
speedy Senate action on legislation
to curb such activities.
Representative Hobbs, Democrat.
of Alabama, slspping down a thick
document before a Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee, said this "confden-
tial Navy report shows that naval
vessels can't be moored in some ports
here without swarm of propaganda
lists telling our fighting men that it's
wrong and un-Christain-hke to
fight"
Recent collapse of internal de-
lenses of European nations were
cited by both Representative Hobbs
and Representative Smith, Demo-
crat, Of Virginia, author of the bill
already passed by the House. as rea-
sons for prompt Senate action.
The Virginia Representative said
his bill would make it unlawful to
interfere with discipline in the
armed forces; require the deporta-
ton of aliens, including members of
the Communist party, advocating
overthrow of the Government; and
require flngerprints for all aliens
entering or visiting this country.
Opposition to broad terms of the
bill was voiced by Miss Mary E.
Bodkin, Washington, who said she
appeared for the Descendants of the
American Revolution.
She said restrictive" provisions
OF the measure were a concerted
attack upon the civil rights of all
citizens as we'll as alines."
John F. Finerty, representing the
American Civil Liberties Union, tes-
titled that provisions of the bill were
clearly unconstitutional"

Law Too Expensive,
Institute Delegates
Are Told al Banquet
Dean Dickinson Calls
For Continued Attack
To Correct Condition

The law is too expensive, Dean
Elmer Dickinson of the University
Of California school of jurispru-
dence told the American Institute
OF Law delegates at their banquet
last night, adding that it creates an
intolerable situation. The insti-
tute today closes the three-day ses-
sions of its 18th annual meeting at
the MayfloWer.
Dean Dickinson, defending the
legal profession from other lay
criticisms that the law is too slow
and too technical, said that he
hopes most lawyers will come soon
to realize that the law costs too
much
1T is not" Dean Dickinson said,
that lawyers as a class are filled
with avarice or lacking in public
spirit. Quite the contrary.
Points to Causes.
ut is that lawyers find themselves
caught unwittingly, and frequently
unwillingly, in system under which
the more competent brethern COM
pete to serve those who can afford
to pay while marginal lawyers
serve, and too often exploit, those
who cannot afford to pay.
LAS Prof. Llewellyn and others
have reminded us. most Americans
are without adequate legal service
because they lack the mans to pay
for such service.
ut is superfluous to suggest that
such situation is unwholesome
in any country, that it is intolerable
under popular government.
Advises Continued Attack.
"The problem is being attacked on
an ever-w widening front. We must
press on with courage and vision.
In short, we must be true to the
ideals of profession dedicated
to public service"
The banqueters heard also from
former Senator George Wharton
Pepper of Pennsylvania, president
of the institute, and Judge Learned
Hand of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals for the second
circuit.

Other oil men here for the l1th

said any needed stepup in produc-
ton could be made to keep pace
easily with the manufacture of air
craft.
AT present, the industry is making
about 10000 barrels of aviation gaso-
line daily. About 100000 barrels
are in storage. In recent months.
about one-fourth of production has
been exported.
One refner predicted present pro-
duction could be stepped UP five
times with only minor plant ad-
justment.
Refineries more Flexible"
John Day, secretary manager OF
the Western Petroleum Refiners' As
sociation, said refineries were more
flexible" today than they were five
or ten years ago. Some motor fuel
now being produced would be suit
able for training planes, with high
octane gasoline needed only for the
swift fighting and bombing ships,
he added.
Other officials pointed out that in
the event 100-octane gasoline were
needed for all planes, additional
refining facilities required could be
constructed and in operation long
before factories could make the
ships.
