Court Rules In
(Continued From Pa9e One)

in which it was alleged that union
officials were "feathering their nests
from initiation fees and dues payments
from out-oftown workers seeking en-
ployment at the time of the Worlds
Fair.
Specifically, the Argus article re-
counted the alleged experiences OF a
young man from North Carolina who
was supposed to have received we'll
paying electricians job and who was
said to have paid a stiff price privately
to an unnamed official of Local ). The
alleged money, the McMullin column
stated, probably never appeared on
the unions books. Evidently the rank
and file of Local 3 are not aware of
the practices INDUCED in by some OF
their associates"
Upon publication of the column the
union instgated libel action against
Westchester Newspapers, Inc, Nc
Mullin, and the Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate, which sold the column to
the Argus as IA syndicated feature.
After the action was brought, the
defendants made Il motion in the New
York Supreme Court to dismiss the
unions action on the ground that libel
is personal action and that under
the law trade union, as an lncor-
Dorated col lection of individuals,
could not sue. Justice lSidOr WaSSer-
vogel before whom the motion was
argued, ruled against the defendants.
The case was carried through the
Appellate Division and up to the Court
of Appeals, where the unions suit was
finally sustained.
The Monday, Sept. 2S, issue of the
statement which reads in part as
follows:
THE article in question was pub
lished as part of Il syndcated feature
service to which this newspaper had
subscribed for number of years prior
to July 3, 1899. 1t was received by the
newspaper as part of such service III
the regular course of its business and
was published in good faith, without
any malice Whatsoever towards the
union or its officials and in the full
belief that the statements made in it
were true and that any opinions eX-
pressed i'm it involved matters of pub
lie Importance, We're fair and were
based upon actual fact.
"Naturally, under the circumstances
the Westchester Newspapers, Inc, al
the time of publication had no personal
knowledge of the incident involving
[ he young man from North Carolina
1t is now only fair to state that since
he institution of the foregoing suits
by the union and its officials, the news,
paper caused an investigation to be
made which failed to SubStantiate thc
charge involving the young man from
North Carolina" ...
The case against the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate and McNlullin, who
were not parties to the settlement, il
still pending in the courts.

Turning Elm Away

This is what every businessman some day looks forward to-turning 'em away from his doors because he can't take care of the crowds of customers We'll, that's what the Public Utilities Commission is doing now for the bus lines of the state. Recently E. Irvine Rudd, chief engineer for the PUG, suggested that more defense workers drive their cars to work instead of using the busses or other means of public transportation. It's the smart thing" for them to do, says MT. Rudd.
 His theory is that war workers are utl- izing the busseS, trolleys, and railroads, 50 that they can use their cars for pleas ure driving That may be so in some in- stances, but it isn't everyone today who can even save up enough gasoline for any sort of pleasure driving. And since it has become so difficult to obtain fuel a great many car owners have refused to be seen driving their cars on what may look like pleasure trip to their friends or neighbors. They don't want to be classified as unpatriotic on this score.
 Of course there's more to MT. Rudd's plea than this. In urging war workers to use their cars he requests that they be filled with fellow workers all the time. A full car travelling back and forth from one neighborhood will be running patri- otic course It must be pretty obvious to most of us that before the summer is over about the only cars being seen on the roads daily will be those of defense work erg Others simply won't be able to secure ra1ioning cards that will enable such daily trips And we don't think the prob lem of the public utilities will be any less then than now.

Selected Poem
MY BACKYARD VACATION

(By Charles L. H. Wagner in the Boston PosD With the kiss of southern breezes calling me to Natures founts, can picture woodland vistas can vision snow- capped mounts. But alas, I needs must curtai not for me such summer bliss, shall rusticate this season but far travel shall miss. Tn my back yard garden browsing shall get Vaca- tion thrill And perchance will learn from Nature how to aug ment poets skill I shall listen to the whispers of the ants on apple tree They shall teach me how to labor and in work be
 trouble-free. shall watch the robins bathing in the shallow And the catbirds call I'll mimic when he thinks that he's alone shall botanize the garden study secrets of plant life, And sweet flowers shall inspire song triumphant over strife. Tn the glistening dew of morning shall lave my
 troubled brow As weed mundane tomatoes shadowed by an apple
 bough; Tn the sprouting beans and carrots shall glimpse Gods age-old plan That makes growing things the answer to the life that we call man. Mayhap this shall be summer worth to me more than pure gold If the mysteries of being to my plastic soul unfold I shall bless the adverse currents of the winds of need and stress, For they'll bring me wealth of vision and increase my souls largess.

Worth a Trial

The decision of city officials to shift the waiting station for west bound busses from East Main Street to the south side of the Green on West Main is probably being acclaimed by those merchants who for years have been begging for just such relief. Whether or not the experiment is continued depends naturally on public reaction and the status of traffic in and around Exchange Place. However, the move is a good one in that it removes bus terminal from busy commercial section.
 It has been increasingly obvious during recent months that the bus situation was getting worse instead of better. By this we mean that congestion and traffic pile ups were occurring in those sections where there were apt to be lines of busses awaiting passengers or discharging them. The condition won't improve, because more and more people are going to de- pend on busses in the future as private cars are relegated to garages for want of tires and fuel.
 The East Main Street pile-up between the Center and Phoenix Avenue has long cried out for relief. The shift to the south side of the Green may not be the ultimate solution, but certainly it is an effort to correct bad situation and deserves every consideration from the bus-riding popu- lace. Concessions and sacrifices will have to be made on every side if we're to emerge from this war unscathed. If few inconvenience in travel and our mode of life are our only scars we shall indeed be most fortunate.

Selective Service adopts-as rumor says 1t will-some scheme similar to that en- bodied in the Taft resolution approved by the Senate. This urges that local draft boards divide Class III registrants into four classifications A fifth is implicit in the situation.
 First, some 100000 men whose de- pendents are parents, brothers and sis ters. Second, about 2,760,000 married men who have no children. Third, around 2,050,000 husbands under 30, with de- pendent children Fourth, the II 800, 900 older married men with dependent chil- dren.
 And, finally, the men from each of these classifications who would be de- ferred to the last because they are en- gagged in genuine war production where they could not be replaced without injury to the industrial program. Properly, Con- gress has not forced Selective Service to follow detailed instructions. But these proposals seem so completely logical and humane that we believe General Her. shey's organization must give them ser- iouS consideration.

Men With Dependents

The enormous demands upon this na- tion's manpoWer are bringing us face to face with the necessity for re-examin- Ing the philosophy underlying Selective Service. Up to noW it has been possible to pull numbers out of fishbowl, match them up with men, grant deferments &C., cording to broad and none too definitely stated principles, and get all the soldiers we need without seriously disrupting the nome economy.
 But the Army, some time this year, will pass the highWater mark set in the first World War Simultaneously war indus tries need millions more men to produce armament, munitions, and the other par aphernalia of fighting. There are only about 25 million men in the country be- tween the ages of IS and 45. Unless the axis can be beaten sooner than seems possible, we talk about putting 10 million men into uniform.
 We may have to take two out of every five American men in the prime of life, in such way as not to destroy the indus trial setup without which those 10 mil lions would become defenseless fodder for axis shells and bombs. We want to take them, as well as we can, so as to do minimum of damage to family ties and to create minimum of hardship to act ual dependents. But we can't get 10 nil- lion men of fighting age without dipping heavily into the ranks of those who have legitimate dependents
 That, of course, is why Congress pro- vided higher salaries and dependency gratuities for those called into service. But this will not prove sufficient unless

You can't keep good man down. That's the motto of Alfred N. Phillips, Jr., of Stamford who has been much in the states political limelight of past years. He has been mayor of his native Stam- ford for several terms and also served a term in Congress A little later this month he'll be on active duty in the U. s. Army But with all that and not knowing where he's apt to be in the next few months he plans to be candidate for mayor on the Democratic ticket if he can procure the nomination. The present city executive, Mayor Edward A. Gonnoud is also Dem- ocrat, so if MT Phillips sticks to his guns he'll have to make primary fight of it. All of which probably won't please the Democratic organization of Stamford, but may please friends of Capt. Phillips who has plenty of them here and there around the state.

Another Union

After all the evidences of organized labor's business-as-usual attitude during this war, it is pleasure to find another item for the credit side of the ledger-an item concerning deeds, not hifaluting words that stop short of sacrifice for de- mocracy The International Ladies' Gar ment Workers Union, with more than 100000 members, an outstanding oppon- ent of Communism in labor ranks, has some 10000 idle members in New York, center of the nations garment industry.
 So it's executive board, with too rare realism, has voted to waive peace-time wage scales, and work for Uncle Sam for less Patriotism is combined with common sense. The government will save money, employers can operate their shops, union- iStS will have work

With more and more salvage drives coming up it's interesting to note what R. c. Rolling, president of the National Piano Manufacturing Assn. has to say of the situation. He points out with consid- erable emphasis on the figures that there must be half a billion pounds of scrap metal in the basements and homes Of American families with pianos. Obsolete pianos, instruments that are taking up space but are not being used, those rel egated to store-rooms or cellars are price less for their store of metal In them may be found an average of 160 pounds of cast iron, 36 pounds of brass, 5.5 pounds Of copper wire, 40 pounds of steel. If it's an old piano it'll run more than that. And there are 2,800,000 obsolete pianos in the country

supremacy. But this man who al- ways boasted that he took in the whole of a situation failed to con- slider the overwhelming wickedness of the city: which was in reality the biggest thing in the whole outlook, the fatal factor that was to prove his undoing and to bring his sell fishness to 1t appropriate reward. Back in the hills stood his uncle, Abraham. Here was g thoughtful man. He preferred the freedom of the hills to the stifiing bondage of the city. He felt he would rather live amid the wholesome condition of the hills than to dwell in place where he and his children would be constantly subjected to moral cor- ruption. And so he chose the un- selfish way, and by 50 doing found that he soon was walking amid the blessings of God.
 The worldling who is always look ing out for Number I makes over again the mistakes that Lot made. Greed and selfishness SO fill his eyes that he overlookS the main chance, which is always some loving gift from cod.

Press Comment
DERBY'S AMAZING RECORD (New Haven Register)

A news announcement reveals that there has been no motor vehicle fatality in the city of Derby in four and one-half years. That is 8 remarkable situation. Ordinarily around 30 or 40 cities of Derby's population or over come through a year without single traffic fatality. To keep this up, however, for four years and halfway into the filth, Is unexcelled for this state, and un- usual in the extreme for the country.
 A good record can be partly &C., cidental, speaking of accidents, even as a bad record can be. In case of sustained performance, however, 1t seems fair to guess that through effort in the past there has been established 8 healthy respect for regulations and characteristic traffic flow which absorbs the occa- sional -conformists and holds them to safe conduct in spite of themselves.
 It is a record to be proud of. A host of cities will not anywhere ap- proach it even with gas and tire rationing taking half the cars of the streets and shrinking the mile- age of the remainder.

already in existence aren't get ting enough tin scrap to keep them running at full load.
 That is the sort of mastermind- ing. that has botched the record of the Bureau of Industrial Con- servation from its start.
 HIGH-PRESSURE BOYS
 Here is another gem of master minding.
 Spurred by barrage of com- plaints, Rosenwald and Cabot fin- ally decided they had to do some thing spectacular and do it fast. They hit on the idea of nation wide governmental financed adver- tising campaign to boom the falt- ering scrap collection programs.
 Weeks were spent drawing up plans. After which, the advertis- ing program was turned over to the firm of Hill & Knowlton. This is the same firm which the Senate Civil Liberties Investig- ating Committee criticized so severly for conducting an anti labor campaign on behalf of uniOn-f fighting steel companies.
 But that isn't all. WIPE insiders say that Hill & Knowlton have called in to assist them James Sel- wage, former National Manufact- urers Association publicity man, who recently departed from a $25-a-day Navy Department job while. under hot laborite fire. It was charged that Salvage, while working for the Navy, secretly raised money from business men to finance a campaign against the Presidents war labor policies. Copyright, 1942 by United Featur
