dictment in this case disclosed sit
uation in which common laborers
were forced into union which holds
no elections and over which they
have no control. This was followed
by jurisdictional warfare against an
other union organized under c. I.
o. charter which threatened to
crush small lumber yards"
AS a result. Mr.. Arnold continued.
lumber retailers were placed in a
perilous situation" If they complied
with the demands of the A. F. L.
union, he amplified they would in
cur retaliatory action from the C.
I. O.; if they supported the c. I. o.
union they would be unable to get
lumber and thus be forced out of
business.
The Government has been wag-
ing war on jurisdictional strikes
along with other forms of restraint
in lengthy campaign to end abuses
in the building industry Mr.. Arnold
emphasized that while the juriSdic-
tional strikes prosecutions would of
necessity have to be dropped that
this does not mean that we will

Supreme Court Ruling
Brings DISMISSED Of
JurisdictionuI Coses
BY J. A. FOX.

The Government today abandoned
its efforts to prosecute unions for
turisdictional strikes. The Justice
Department said no other course
was open in view of the decision
by the Supreme Court a week ago
holding that the A. F. L. Carpenters
Union was immune from criminal
action under the Sherman Antitrust
Act for fostering strike and boycott
in, a row with a rival union over
slfocati of work.
The Governments action was dis
closed in a statement from the de-
partment announcing that an order
had been entered in the United
States District Court for the south
ern district of New York diSmiSSing
the antitrust prosecution against
the Interna tional Longshoremen
Association and others charged with
conspiring TO restrain the movement
of lumber handled by C. I. 0. men,

The Supreme Court decision
voided an indictment against VIII

officials of the Carpenters Union
accused OF bringing about a tle-up
at the Anheuser- Busch Brewery in
81. Louis as the outgrowth Of fight
with the Machinists' Union, another
AT. L. affiliate. The court said the
Norris-La Guardia Act and other
statutes provided a special exemp-
ton for labor under such circum-
stances.
The LongShoremen's Association,
two local unions a teamsters' local
and II individuals. including Joseph
P. RYAN. head of the longshoremen,
were involved in the New York case.
The Government said the defend
ants, in an effort to compel retailers
to employ only members of A. F. l..
unions. stopped all deliveries of lum-
Der to retailers whose employees be-
loneed to the C. I. o. This was
done. it was explained. by refusing to
load lumber at the dock or haul it to
the yards of offending retailers and
by using threats of force and vio-
lence to prevent others from doing
So AS result of this restraint. the
Government contends, more than
$4,000, 900 worth of lumber was tied
up in the last three months of 1899.
Thurman Arnold, head Of the
Antitrust Division of the depart

Suggesting that invasion of the

Mayor added:
II personally believe if England
holds out an invasion Of Europe will
not be necessary. The people of

The Italian people do not want TO

and that's what they are going to
be if they don't break away from

Dictatorship Powers Denied.
Replying to the argument of some
critics of the measure. Senator Bark
ley declared that the bill docs not
remotely set up dictatorship" only
conferring on the President such
powers as are deemed necessary in
the midst of a great and unprece-
dented emergency"
He called it absurd to say that
the President can or would be so
lacking in judgment as to deprive
the United States of essential de-
fenSe articles in order 10 lend, lease
or give them to some other nation"
Observing that some opponents of
the bill had demanded a statement
of war aims from Britain and her
allies before new aid was given.
Senator Barkley inquired why de-
mands were not also made for a
statement of the axis war aims.
Il cannot but help look with sus-
picion upon the position Of those
who insist that the victims declare
their war aims while making no such
demand of the aggressors. he said.
