Savings Won't Help Workers
No provision is made for the EN-
plOyeS to share the benefits of con-

ton of the expense of maintaining dual
facilities in each city, the Journal
says. 1t adds:
"If savings are made by the intro-

only to those employees entering the

Election Provisions Bad
"But the provision which will really
upset the morale and efficiency of the
telegraph industry during this crucial
wartime, is the requirement for a ma
tiOnal election of employees of the con-
SOlidated carrier within 30 days after
the merger. After four years of Organi-
Zation work, the employees of both com

ION March Is the general issue was

Supreme Court
Rehedring On
Anti-Picketinq

New York City QLNS).-The Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union has just
filed in the U. S. Supreme Court a
brief supporting petition for re-
hearing of the Texas case in which
the court recently upheld an injunc-
ton forbidding the Carpenters and
.IoinerS Union of Houston, Texas,
from piclleting local cafe.
The A. G. l.. L. brief signed by
OSmOnd X. Fraenkel, New York attOr-
ney, says the Supreme Court decision
that the Carpenters Union could not
picket the cafe because the dispute at
issue did not involve the cafe itself
constitutes a serious limitation on free
dom of speech. 1t also points out that
the decision opens the door to a flood
of cases in which courts will be obliged
to pass upon conditions where picket
ing is permissible. The Carpenters
Union had picketed the cafe because
the owners house i'm another part of
Houston was being built by nOn-llmiOn
labor
The A. c. l.. L. holds that so long
as picketing is peaceful and the public
order is not disturbed men have the
right to carry signs anywhere, just as
they have the right to speak their
minds. The brief contends that the
Supreme Court decision, based upon
the nOn-eXistence of business rela-
ton between the Carpenters Union and
the cafe, introduces new and I'M
tenable criterion for free speech.
