Court Rules kRLB

Discrimination Cited

WASHINGTON, April 2S.
(UP) = The supreme court
today ruled that the National
Labor Relations board can
require an employer to hire
men who had been denied employ
ment because of their union con-
nections.
The court modified a second cir
cult court of appeals decision anc,
sustained an NLRB decree requir-
ing the Phelps Dodge Corp. to hire
two men at its Bisbee, Ariz., copper
mine. These men had been refused
jobs during an expansion of opera
tions because of their union affilia-
tions.
The board had contended that
the circuit courts decision, in fa-
vor of the company, in effect legal

The company asserted that the
boards position was an unconStitu-
tional invasion of the liberty of

making of contracts for personal
services and thus unionize all in

Justice Felix Frankfurter read

At Berlin Nazis emphasized that

Jack Harris waved a confident
hand to Forrest Ferguson.

ed. He referred to the location OF
FORESTS home north of Holtville,
where he was expected for dinner.
Jack stayed at the golf club for
a brief period before following his
Z host and during that time received
even more directions from MIS-.
Evelyn Sharp.
Then he started out, still as con-
fident as prizefighter always tells
the press ahead of time.
After some maneuvering over
country roads Jack decided he had
reached the proper house. 1t an
swered Forests description. There
was the chicken ranch and all. The
door was open and Jack could see
a table set and waiting inside.
He marched boldly in, sat down
at the table and shouted:
Come on, let's eat. I'm here!'
A woman whom Jack had never
before seen appeared 1t was doubt
full which was the most startled.
1t went without saying that the
woman had never before seen Jack.
It was Mrs. Eldred Ferguson and
Jack was definitely in the wrong
'pew. But you can't upset a Harris
for very dong, so Jack made a
fumbling departure and journeyed
bit farther down the road to
where Forests home is located,

No Pay Off
There was no little envelope in
RRs mail this morn ing containing

tentative than to proceed with the

of the revelation, RR hasn't the
foggiest notion.
With our own eyes Sunday after
noon we saw MIS-. Harlan frymlre
and another attractive young lady
more or less expertly climb through
a window into a residence on He'll
avenue.
Why? Reader you've got us. This
is a long guess, but RR figures the
other young lady might have been
MRS. Jack Anderson and the home
the Anderson rancho. Husband
might have gone off with the key.
But that's purely supposition.
