Initiation Already Here,
Says A. F. Of |. Survey

Warning that imitation has al
ready arrived, Labor's Monthly Sur
vey, published by the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, declared yesterday
that price control is essential to pre-
vent further upward surge in the
price spiral. Without a curb on
prices, I'VE shall without the shadow
of doubt be forced in chaos.
where eventually totalitarian control
will be urged as the only way out"
it warned.
Denying that wage increases are a
major cause Of rising prices, the
Survey opposed the establishment of
wage ceilings as means of stopping
wage advances. In four industries
automobiles. cotton goods, lumber
and petroleum-Wage increases have
added 2 per cent to total costs this
year, as compared with price rise
of 1872 per cent, it said.
Even the small increase in costs
due to rising wages has been largely
offset by expanding production and
savings in overhead" it continued.
Actually, an average price increase
of less than per cent would have
been enough to compensate for this
years wage increases. Yet in some
industries, due to higher material
costs, speculation, proflteering and
other causes, prices have skyrock-
eted. 1t is not the price rises of 2
per cent, or even per cent in a year
that spell imitation, but these sky
rocketing price increases of 20 per
cent or more"

Los Angeles Times
Fights Contempt Verdict

BY the Associated Press.
The Los Angeles Times contended
yesterday before the Supreme Court
that prescribing all comment on
judicial proceedings until finally
terminated would constitute a cur
tailment and abridgement of the
right of free speech"
In a brief filed preparatory to
oral arguments tomorrow, the news
paper urged the tribunal to reverse
its conviction on a charge of con-
tempt of court growing out of the
publication of comment on court
cases before a final settlement.
The California Supreme Court, up
holding the conviction in the Los
Angeles Superior Court, ruled that
a guilty verdict was justified when
there was reasonable tendency"
that the work of the courts would be
impeded by published comment.
1t was contended by the news
paper, however, that a contempt
conviction was justified under the
circumstances only when there was
a clear and present danger" of in
terfering with the administration of
justice.
