Pagara ell pueblo con gusto, dijo ell re-
presentante Clement, del condado de Pr

cuanto sabe que ell dinero Sc invertira en-

aprobadO en- definitiva, exteriorizando su
disgusto, por cuanto estima que no debe
invocarse la infelicidad de los humildes
para apoyar maniobras politicas.
Tenemos ell sagrado deber de amparar
a los a~ncianos pobres y socorrerlos de ma
nera e%fectiva, no con $40 o $50 mensuales;
pero abordando ell problema directamente,
no con nuevas cargas a los cigarrillos.
Cada obrero fumador de cigarrillos
debera abonar anualmente, bajo ell nuevo
impuesto, veintenas de d6lares.
Con menos dinero, y un impuesto re-
partido entire todos, Sc socorreria a los an
cianos con mayor efectividad.
La "excusa" del auxilio a los viejos pa
ra sobrecargar a los trabajadores que flu

La Bolita tributa millones de pesos
anuales a los "politicos infl~uyentes" Y los
individuos que estos ~utilizan para cobrar
ell b%arato".
Algunos senoreS Sc llenan los bolsillos

Jpor que no Sc trata de ~adecentar la poll

D. {. Court 10 Operate
With 5 Jury Panels
For Criminal Cases
Aim Is to Reduce
Docket Before Sturt
Of Summer Schedule

In an effort to reduce the GRIM
lnal docket before beginning its re-
duced summer recess schedules, Dis
trict Court this month for the first
time in Its history will operate with
five jury panels in the criminal
divisions.
The five panels, Of 26 persons
each, were chosen yesterday before
Justice Matthew F. Mcclure. Five
Judges will sit in criminal trials
during the month.
While up-to-date statistics for
the criminal cases to come before
the court had not been compiled,
a total of 329 defendants were
awaiting trial on May %, accord
ing to the United States attorneys
office records. OF the total, ap-
proximately 100 of the defendants
were in Jail, pending trial.
These figures compare with 242
defendants awaiting trial on May
81, 1942.
Yesterday, United States Attorney

termination to reduce the number
of criminal cases as rapidly as
possible.
Records of the civil branch of
District Court showed a total of
1.096 civil cases which were on the
calendar prior to April 30, await
ing trial on May 20. They are di-
vided into 357 jury cases and 739
non-jur cases. The 1895 total is
427 fewer cases than were pending
trial on June l, 1912. A total of
5000 civil cases was disposed of
from July l through May 20, the
records showed The majority of
civil non-jury cases are' divorce
actions. .,
Both jury and nom jury cases in
the civil branch of the court are now
brought to trial in less than half
the time it formerly took, it was
pointed out by John H Sullivan, as
Slgnment commissioner.
AS of October, l, 1912, Mr.. Sulli-
van said in a report, II months
would elapse between the time a
civil jury case was placed on the
trial calendar and the time it finally
reached trial. AS of April 30 of this
year, only five months would elapse,

Hull Declares China
Will Defeat Japanese
When Aid Increases
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary of State Hull last night
expressed confidence that as more
weapons become available to China,
the Japanese will be swept from
Chinese soil.
In statement commemorating
the anniversary of the Mukden in
cident of September 18, 1881. Mr..
Hull said that in many quarters this
date was regarded as the beginning
of the present life-and-death strug-
gle throughout the world.
"China's struggle has been and is
our struggle-the struggle of the
peace-seeking nations against the
forces of aggression"
Recounts Jap Aggressions.
Mr.. Hull recounted how the Jap
snese occupied Manchuria and at
tackled Shanghai. Despite the Chi
nese desire to avoid a general con-
f1ict, the japanese refused a peaceful
settlement and in July, 1887, re-
newed their attack on China by en-
gaging Chinese troops near Marco
Polo Bridge west of Peiping.
Following that attack, Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek declared that
if the limit of endurance had been
reached, I'VE cannot do otherwise
than resist"
The Chinese people, Mr.. Hull said.
have stood stanchly behind their
armies and under circumstances of
great economic privation and physi-
cal hardship have continued bravely
to oppose the enemy.
Cites Japanese Losses.
Large japanese armies have been
engaged and contained in North,
Central and South China and their
casualties and expenditures of ma
terials have been great.
They have won battles and they
have lost battles, but they have since
1888 made in China no substantial
net gains.
To their repeated offers of a
compromise peace the Chinese have
consistently refused to listen.
Long having refused, against
odds, to be conquered, China has
made, is making and will continue
to make, important contribution
toward the common cause of victory
over aggression and of establishing
conditions Of peace, freedom and
security through cooperative asso-
citation and action on the part of
the United Nations and united
peoples" Mr.. Hull said.

On Wednesday, May 5th, 194S, the National Labor Relations Board conducted an election of shipyard employees of the Bethlehem-Hign- ham Shipyard, Inc, located in Hingham, Massachusetts, very near to the Fore River Yard of the Bethlehem Steel Company in Quincy.
 AS a matter of fact the A. F. of L. and the c. I. o. have charged that the Independent Union at this plant is the same Independent Union which is at the Fore River Yard. There were charges filed agaist the Independent Union and other tactics resorted to which would have delayed an election for a considerable length of time.

Election At Bethlehem Hin gham
 Shipyard Won By Independents

Thereupon the Independent Union made a surprise maneuver and withdrew from the ballot. After this the c. I. O. also withdrew from the ballot which left the workers to either vote for the A. F. of L. or against it.
 The Independent Union con- ducted an intensive campaign and all of it's members voted against the A. F. of L. with the result that the A. F. of L. was defeated by al- most two to one and the Independ- ent Union continued as the choice of the workers there.
 The Independent Union victory at Hingham closely parallels the decisive defeat sustained by the c. I. o. at the Fore River Yard in Quincy last year.

Workers Favor Strike Ban In Defense Plants

According to a Gallup poll taken in important vital production areas including New England, 72% o& the workers favor law prohibit- ing strikes. The percentage of union members also in favor of such a law was 64%. Nevertheless the c. I. O. has been strongly opposing action by Congress in Washington to forbid strikes. Intelligent work CTS are unable to reconcile this position with their no-strike pledge. especially in view of the fact that every single working day there are strikes called by the C. I. o. in War Plants.

"A meeting of the delegates of the East Coast Alliance of Inde- pendent Shipyard Unions of Amer ica was held at the Hotel New Yorker recently. Tn the absence of Frank Draminski, who was con- fined to the Home Memorial Hos- pital in New London, and was the elected delegate of the Independ- ent Union, together with Harold Cruise, Arthur c. Ward, vice-presi- dent of the Union, accompanied President Cruise to the conference.
 At the conference reports were received on the activities of the Alliance in Washington concerning shipyard working conditions along the whole east coast.
 From the reports given by the various delegates it Is apparent that the Independent Unions in the shipyards along the east coast are becoming bigger and stronger constantly.
 Plans were discussed and formu- lated concerning amendment of overtime provisions and rules in the shipyard industry. The Ali ance is working to secure amend ment of the overtime rules so that workers will not lose overtime

C. |. 0. War Plant Strikes Continue

Although the c. I. O. continues to boast about it's no-Strike policy during the war, most peculiarly C. I. O. strikes in war plants con- tinue unabated.
 At the Ford Motor Company in Detroit where strikes have become a habit it is apparent that the c. I. O. there is completely unable to handle the situation.
 Actual violence was witnessed at the Bendix Aircraft Corporation plant in New Jersey recently, where the c. I. o. union is at- tempting to wrest bargaining rights from the Independent Union and has been pulling workers out on strike even though the National Labor Relations Board is handling the case.
 The c. I. O. steel workers last week tied up a war plant in Hamil- ton, Ontario, because of strike based only upon union certification and not any wage or working con- ditions.
 Aother New Jersey C. I. O. strike ended last week after a walk-out holding up Army and Navy con- tracts for several days. The strike was supposed to be a protest against delay of the War Labor Board in acting upon an agreement after it had gained company ap- proval.

"INDIES" GET OVER 5000 INCREASES IN SIXTY DAYS
More False CIO Wage Claims

The IUMSWA (CIO) is again trying to fool local workers about higher wages in other shipyards even though it is generally known that shipyard are stabilized and frozen in all places.
 It now claims that in the Bethlehem Yard in Bal timore huge weekly pay is received and refers work ers to shipyard publicity in New York newspaper showing pictures of workers and quoting big pays re- ceved.
 When the smart workers figure it out they notice right away that the salaries quoted for 56 hours of work which calls for 68 hours of pay. They also also we-known that at that shipyard in Baltimore there contract work running number of weeks and that when a contract is finished in particular week that weeks pay will take in not only the reg uar weekly wage but also the incentive money over period of weeks The real facts that they have exactly the general top rates of $120 hour in that yard in this yard and in all other yards along this coast

when they have good reason for being absent from work.

"I saw these things with my eyes . saw men cursed and spat upon !. 1 saw them cubbed beaten kicked because they would not join strike which they had not wanted and which had no reason for being except as of forcing them to join the c. l. o.
 "I talked with wives who threatened with violence if their husbands did not quit work with mothers who told that their might not back alive if they persisted in staying the job.
