ADVERTISERS DESERT
N0N-UNION "TIME, !"
life" PUBLICATIONS

Chicago, Ill.-At the regular meet.
| ing of the organization committee OF
Chicago Printing Trades Unions last
week H. w. Matheson, executive Sec
retary, reported that more than Is pei
cent of the advertisers in the non
union 'Time" and ''Life" magazines
have removed their advertising since
the nationwide campaign was started
against those publications. He also in
formed the committee that the drive
to cut down the circulation Of "Time'
and Life" was meeting with wonder
full success.
'sTime" and Life" are printed by
the union-hating R. R. Donnelley &
Sons Company Lakeside Press, Chi
cago, against whom a nationwide
campaign is also in progress. The
anti-Donnelley campaign has been en-
dorsed by the American Federation of
Labor as well as all state federations
of labor.
In an effort to excuse their patron
age of the non-union Donnelley con-
Germ the publishers of "Time" and
'Life" are spreading misinformation
to the effect that there is no union
printing office properly equipped to
produce their publications. The unions
contend that there are number of
union houses throughout the country
that are better equipped than Don
nelley to handle the publications.
"Newsweek," Omitted States News"
"The New Republic" and "The Ma
ton" are union printed magazines and
they have features similar to ''Time"
"Click," Friday" Look" and "Pic"
are also union printed and they have
features similar to Life" If your
doctor, dentist, barber or other ac-
quaintances are patronizing Time"
and '1ife," ask them to switch to any
of the union magazines named above
Inc organization committee Oh CHl-
cago Printing Trades Unions, 130 n.

pleased to send you a supply of Cir
cular No 81 for distribution in your

BROWDER THE
CRIMINAL

(From the Washington Daily News)
The Communists, of course, will
yowl that the Supreme Court has now
become party to a capitalist con-
spiracy to railroad Earl Browder to
jail. They have no case.
Browder broke law of the United
States. He travelled to Russia on
American passports obtained by false
statements. The purpose of his jour
ney was contrary to the best interests
of the United States. In Russia a
crime of this sort would long since
have been punished by liquidation of
the criminal. Here Browder has been
permitted to remain free for many
months, meanwhile being candidate
for President, while he sought by use
of fne-spun legal technicalities to es-
cape punishment The Supreme Court
has swept those technicalities aside.
Maybe the four-year prison term is
unfortunately severe, in that it may
create unthinking sympathy for Brow
der. He deserves none. The fact is
that he is going to prison, not for be-
ing a Communist leader, but for being
a criminal His followers who cry that
he is being punished because he is a
radical are really contending that rad
icals should have special privilege to
commit crimes with impunity. The
Supreme Court and the American peo-
pie take no stock in such an argument.

Altmeyer Says Defense
Must Not Injure Labor

Arthur ]. Altmeyer, chairman of
the Federal Security Board, speaking
at joint conference Of the New York
tuberculosis and Health Association
and the tuberculosis Sanatorium Con-
ference of Metropolitan New York,
denounced the argument that the ma
tional defense program would require
curtailment of newly won rights of
labor"
He said that to curtail labor rights
and abandon social insurance, public
assistance and health service would be
like trying ''to find steel for the tur-
rets of the ship of state by prying a
few plates off the bottom"

Small Income Families Buy
One-Third Of FILA Homes

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Three

New Shah Of Iran
Cedes All Fathers S
Wealth 10 State
General Amnesty Decree
Also Is Prepared for
Political Prisoners
By the Associated Press.

| BY tne ASSOCIATED PreSS.
TEHERAN, Sept. 18.-Iran's new
21-year-old Shah has decided to
cede all the possessions of his
fabulously rich father as gift to
the nation, the government an
nounced today.
! The new ruler, educated
Mohammed Shah Pahlevi, also has
prepared general amnesty decree
for all political prisoners of the
regime of his abdicated father, it
was announced
The former Shah, Reza Panfevi a
one-time Cossack cavalryman, re-
putedly was the richest man in Asia
when he gave up his throne this
week because he would not play
ball with Britain and Russia. The
Allies accused him of aiding the
Axis.
Had Vast Bank Accounts.
Almost all of Mazanderan Province
was his private holding, and the
revenue from monopolies, hotels,
motor transport and many kinds of
stores and factories bulged the royal
purse. Vast sums were banked in
his name in the United States and
England.
This great wealth was amassed
as he was undermining the ancient
Persian kingdom, installing modern
methods of production and trans
portation wherever possible
Seizure of Reza Pahlevis property
was actually decided on at secret
parliamentary session prior to the
taking of the oath yesterday by
the new shah who promised to rule
as a constitutional monarch.
| The former shah's account of 81
100000 tomans in the national bank
was Immediately attached to pay
government salaries. The new gov
ernment's program to reduce un-
necessary taxation. trim the budget
and abolish the corrupt sale of state
property to private individuals was
approved.
The British Legation said 1t had
received authority from London to
recognize the new shah. Moscow's
dItiCuue was not ll1lIneQlaCeIy clear.
Difficulties Ironed Out.
Difficulties attending the Russian
British occupation of Teheran, in
cluding Soviet detention of Italian
Minister Petrucci for several hours.
were reported today to have been
ironed out at a joint staff con-
ference.
Red troops arrested Petrucci last
night and held him until the British
Legation intervened.
Soviet detachments were ordered
to withdraw from a machine-gun
factory so that British brigade in
the joint occupation, ordered with
the announced purpose of hasten
ing Iranian compliance with peace
terms, might bivouack there.
The British had to camp in
desert gully 7 miles from town last
night because the Russians con-
trolled all roads and refused to let
their Allies pass without Maj. Gen.
Novikov's direct command.
Members of the British Legation
and British nationals were unable
to reach their homes in suburban
Shemrun until the Soviet general
gave instructions to the highway
guards.
