Former Ford Official Tells
Of Forcing Out Workers

BY the Associated Press.
NEW. YORK, April 28-Elliott Lee
Murray, a former assistant superin-
tendent at the Ford Motor Co. S
Edgewater IN. J0 plant, today de-
scribed methods he said were used
in getting rid of employees suspected
of union activities. He said he was
instructed to "be a diplomat" in
such actions Mr.. Murray, who left
the company's employ in 1888 and
now is in business at Navasota, Tex,
was a witness before the National
Labor Relations Regional Board
hearing charges that 26 company
employees were dismissed for union
activities.
Asked by Martin 1. Rose, board
counsel, to describe instances of the
diplomacy" Mr.. Murray said that
if a man were suspected of belong
ing to the United Automobile Work.
ers &C. I. o., foreman were instruc-
ed to give orders to force the man
down the line"
This instruction. he explained,
meant that work was to be piled up
on the man in question so that he
was unable to keep up on the as
sembly line and had to follow the
car down the line to complete his
operation.

CoIored Passengers
Ruled Entitled 10
Same Rail Facilities
Accommodations Must
Conform to Those for
Whites, Court Holds

Earlier Court Story on Page A-1)
Colored passengers making inter-
state railroad trips are entitled to
the same class of accommodations
as those furnished members of the
white race in States which have
separate coach laws, the Supreme
Court held today.
The litigation developed from the
election of Representative Mitchell,
colored Illinois Democrat, from a
Pullman, in the enforcement of the
Arkansas separate coach law, in 1887.
Representative Mitchell was ira
Yelling from Chicago to Hot Springs,
and after he had been "forcibly
elected from the Pullman, he was
compelled to complete the journey
"in a Jim Grow car with second
class accommodations" he charged.
This" the court said in unani-
nous opinion read by Chief JUS
tice Hughes, was manifestly a dis
elimination against him in the
course of his interstate journey, and
admittedly that discrimination was
based upon the fact that he was a
Negro"
A complaint that the House men,
Der filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission was dismissed.
Saying the commission had recog-
niZed in the past that ''cOlored per-
sons who buy first-class tickets must
be furnished with accommodations
equal in comforts and conveniences
to those afforded to first-class white
passengers" Chief Justice Hughes
added:
1--WE find no sound reason for the
failure to apply this principle by
holding the discrimination from
which the appellant Representative
MitchelD suffered to be unlawful
and by forbidding it in the future
The Chief Justice said that be-
cause there was but single Incl
dent was not a justification of the
treatment of the Representative.
The court assumed, he said, that
the chief reason for the Interstate
Commerce Commissions action in
diSmissing Representative Mitchell's
petition was the comparatively lit
tie colored traffic"
But the comparative volume OF
traffic, he added, cannot justify
the denial of a fundamental right
of equality of treatment, right
specifically safeguarded by the pro-
visions of the Interstate Commerce
Act. The case goes back to the COM
mission for proceedings in con-
formity with the decision.

Jurv Convicts McCreu and ~
Of Detroit Graft Conspiracy

who sat as one-man grand jury to
investigate charges that graft had
been paid for official protection OF
illegal activities.
Three months of testimony was
heard by the seven women and five
men on the jury. Principal sensa-
ton of the trial came when Harry
Colburn, former chief investigator
for McCrea, and a co-defendant,
changed his plea to guilty, then tes-
titled for the State that he received
and turned over to the former prose-
cutor more than 100000 in graft
collected from gamblers and brothel
keepers. McCrea denied that he re-
ceived any of this money.
Originally 33 persons were named
as defendants. Circuit Judge Earl
C. Pugsley of Hart, appointed to
preside at the trial, dismissed

A proposal that Congress dig
down" to impose income taxes on
persons with smaller incomes than
are now taxed was given Congress
today by M. L. Seidman, chairman
of the New York Board of Trade
Taxation Committee.
Mr.. Seidman, witness for public
interests, suggested to the House
Ways and Means Committee that
income tax exemptions be $500 for
single persons, $1,000 for married
couples and $3.50 for each dependent.
Present law allows exemptions Of
$500 for single persons, $4,000 for
married couples and S400 for each
dependant.
The Treasury, in suggestions for
raising $500 100000 in new revenue
proposed no change, but suggested
new system of SurtaXeS which
would boost the tax payments of all
present income taxpayers.
Mr.. Seidman contended that fail
ure to lower exemptions would per-
nit three quarters of the national
income to escape" the increased
taxation. He described lowering of
exemptions as "a bitter pill to swal-
low politically and added the line
of least resistance is in additional
hidden excise taxes"
John v. Lawrence, general man.
ager for the American Trucking As
SociationS, told the committee that
increase of the Federal gasoline tax
by cent to 21a cents a gallon would
possibly curtail use of motor vehicles
and reduce revenues.
Mr.. Seidman opposed a proposed
tax. of 2 cents on each bank check,
suggested a revamping of the eX-
cess profits tax rate schedule and
changes in exemptions for corpora
tions and urged that even if rates
must be raised don't let us pre-
tend to tax excess profits when, in
fact, we are taxing normal profits"

The agreement recommended by
Mr.. Hillman would provide for ad-
justment of grievances without

ment was worked out recently by a
Pacific Coast zone shipbuilding con-
ference and now is being considered

of industrial production is more
vital to democracy than the pro-
duction of ships Mr.. Hillman told
the conference.
"Oul Nation is now engaged upon
the largest shipnuilding program in
the history of the world
The program will require 1890 900
man-years of labor, he asserted, and

contracts already authorized will
demand the equivalent of a years
work by 100000 men.

Earlier Story on Page A-1O

A crisis in the Nations soft
coal situation was apparent late
today, with steel production fall
ing, some railroads laying of
workers under a fuel shortage
and many defense plants feeling
the pinch. Latest report was
that to President Roosevelt from
Gov. Saltonstall of Massachu-
settS, who informed the Execu-
tive that interruption of all New
England's defense production
and railroads was inevitable"
unless the Nations coal mines
are opened at once.
While it was indicated after Pres
ident Roosevelt talked over the soft
coal situation with congressional
leaders that he was considering some
action to end the work stoppage,
here was no intimation what might
be done.
Before a Senate committee Ed
ward F. McGrady. special labor
conSultapt to the War Department,
asserted that a continued shutdown
would place the entire defense ef-
fort IN grave Jeopardy. He was
talking to a special committee in
vestigating the progress of national
! defense which also heard details Of
the coal wage dispute from John L.
Lewis. president of the United Mine
Workers &C. I. o., and representa-
tiveS Of Northern and Southern mine
operators.
Lewis Expects Success.
Mr.. Lewis testified today that
he believed soft coal miners "are
going to get the 40 cents" wage in
| crease they are seeking because
Southern operators opposing it will
! get discouraged and We will get the
increase"
/ An argument over a wage diff
ferential has kept soft coal mines
in the eight-State Appalachian area
closed since April /.
( Senator Connally, Democrat, Of
/ Texas inquired. IF you don't get
your 40 cents there won't be any
| coal?"
| No, Senator" responded Mr..
Lewis Il wouldn't let even you put
words in my mouth No, in my
/ opinion we are going to get the 40
cents. I believe that as time
goes on they (the Southern opera
tors will get discouraged and we
will get the increase"
Questioned on Attitude.
Mr. Lewis told the Senate Defense
/ Investigating Committee that
Northern financial operators who
! flguratively call themselves South
erners" were committing "a great
economic outrage upon the South"
by opposing the new wage con-
tract.
Senator Connally later said he
wanted TO know whether it was Mr..
Lewis attitude that the Nation could
not have coal unless the Accent in
crease were granted and Mr.. Lewis
declared: If you are hoping that
is my attitude it is a vain hope"
Mr.. Lewis declared that ANY
Schoolboy can see that this (coaD
situation is extremely serious"
"Soon," he added, the railroads
won't have the coal to haul coal II
the mines reopened."
Declaring that small coal opera
tors follow the leadership of larger
ones. Mr.. Lewis said that if the
PocOhontas Fuel Co. and the Island
Creek Coal Co. would agree to the
new wage contract then the whole
South would follow them"
He added that if the Government
would guarantee that Southern
miners would be given enough food.
