TWO STATES USE LASH

Another unsuccessful attempt to in
duce the Maryland legislature to repeal
that states law permitting flogging SEN
terces for Wife-beaters serves as reminder
that only two states of the Union have such
law. the other being Delaware.
There has been long series of battles
in Maryland for repeal of the lash law, the
last being defeated in the house of dele
gates by the close vote of 50 to At. WOm-
ems organizations in the state are generally
opposed to discarding the law, and they
have had sufficient influence to block its
repeal.
In practice, the execution of the law
in Maryland is not very severe, and few
Wife-beaters are sentenced to receive more
than five lashes, while many escape with
jail sentences only. The manner of adj
ministering whippingS is largely left to the
disposition of sheriffs, and the culprits are
not tied up to whipping post.
Delaware's law is more vigorously en-
forced, and from five to 60 lashes are pre-
sclbed for a wide range of offenses from
petty thieyery to assaults on women.
Advocates of whipping argue that it is
q powerful deterrent to brutal husbands,
who shrink from the punishment itself as
well as from its attendant publicity and
disgrace. Opponents say it does not make
men less brutal, and that jail sentence is
equally effective. While whipping as a
punishment was formerly employed in a
number 81 states, it is row generally looked
upon as degrading to those who nflict it,

TO SAVE HARRY BRIDGES

The forces of organized labor in this
country will be doing themselves no service
il they heed the appeal of Go President
Phillip Murray fora nationwide campaign
of union men to help save Harry Bridges
from deportation.
Whatever Bridges may have done in
his capacity as a Communist his fragrant
violation of passport regulations and his
contempt for the laws Of the United States
are matters Of public record which union
men or anyone else viii! find it difficult to
wash away. He will make poor martyr.
Kew West union men in the past few
weeks have given good demonstration of
the strength which organization brings
when it is wisely used. Within short
period of time. most local carpenters have
won a 20 per cent increase in pay and es-
tablishod a closed shop to ensure the col
lection Of their dues.
Ir both matters they have had the APP
proval Of government officials and their
orderly closed shop election Monday made
it mandatory for the construction company
where they are working to accept their YER
dict -
Operating as they are under federal
administration mere favorable to organized
labor than any in the history of the United
States, unions here and throughout the
country are in position further to
strengthen their position. No one expects
them to- bear the entire brunt of the defense
load without protesting if they feel they
are on the short erd of the profits division.
The distrust which many citizens of
the United States feel for organized labor
in general and the CIO in particular is not
lessened, however, by q campaign such as
the one to save Bridges.
Local workers, affiliated with the A.
F. of L., which has made no similar appeal,
are unlikely to take part in the campaign.

Last year we saw a few catbirds

but this year all the birds we see
are. sparrowhawks sitting al2ne
on city house gables; an occasion
al large hawk in vacant lot; and
the buzkards clrcling over the Gig
Gunp. Why small birds are ab-
sent seems a mystery Local peo-
pie ascribe it to the city cats and
the custom Of trapping every
small bind that appears. We
doubt if this is the zeal reason.
for it seems the same all down
