Daily Worker to prove that
Communists favor political ac-
ton and are against reaction
aries such as himself. Then the
report points out that the CIO
set up the Hillman committee to
lead its political action drive.
Therefore, Dies finds, the CIO
Political Action Committee is
red front.
Dies lists the names of the ma
tional and regional leaders Of
the Hillman committee and
charges that CIO members
have no choice but to make
their financial contributions to
this Hillman-Communist con-
spiracy." He alleges that the
committee is backed by the
power of government" and
weeps bitterly for the workers
who suffer from "tyrannical
taxation"
In the summer of 1912 the
Natl. Federation for Constitu-
tional Liberties distributed a
printed letter to all congress
men calling attention to the un-
American activities of the Dies
committee and its chairman.
Scores of liberals and trade
union leaders signed that letter
men and women from many
states and many walks of life.
So Dies prints the names of the
individuals connected with CIO
organizations who signed that
letter. Some 10 names are in
cluded, many of whom have no
connection whatsoever with the
Hillman committee.
Charges Red Front
Died did not dare charge
these 10 persons with being
Communists, but he employed
the very method he complained
of in his broadcast-smear by
indirection. Approximately L.
500 names of individuals and or
ganizations are indeXed in the
Dies report.
AS to Chairman Hillman him.
self, Dies carefully notes that he
does NOT allege that Sidney
Hillman is Communist or
Communist sympathizer," but
Dies points out that Hillman
was born in Russia; that the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
in 1922 received enthusiastic
congratulations from Russia,
and that the N. Y. Post, 'the
journalistic voice of the Ameri-
can Labor Party" editorially
charged that a conspiracy exists
between the Communists and
Hillman "to seize the ALP"

TIRE SITUATION
is SERIOUS

Most critical stage of the tire stu
alton will be reached during the com
ing three months, ]. J. Mahoney OF
Denver, regional tire examiner, in
formed Montana tire dealers and in
spectors in a series of statewide
meetings during the past 10 days
He said that of the 1,114,875 truck
tires requested each month during
October, November and December for
military and lend-lease use, SAG, 900
per month were all that could be de-
livered, while the Office of Defense
Transportation estimated a need of
674,522 tires per month for civilian
operation and secured 100000 during
each of the past three months.
Need for the utmost conservation
of truck tires was stressed by Mr.
Mahoney. ut is of vital importance
that truckers, farmers and all other
drivers of trucks recap their tires
while the carcass is still in good con-
dition," he stated while synthetic
production is very good tire building
equipment is short, as is manpower,
and times required for production is
triple that of former production with
crude rubber. Truck tires of popular
sizes are only 35 to 40 per cent eff
cient in comparison with pre-war
tires"

Lower Court
Continued from Page one)

ter Conservation Board could be
deemed a citizen, Judge Denman
wakes critical of corporations for
their efforts to remove cases from
state to federal courts, stating in his
opinion:
In this circuit, and no doubt else
where, corporate defendants use the
fiction to transfer cases from the
state courts, where their opponents
are entitled to verdicts on votes of
eight, nine or ten jurors, to the un-
animous vote of the federal tribunals.
Many more than those so transferred
are those unjustly settled under the
pressure Of the threat of transfer
from the lesser jury vote of the state
courts of the vicinage to the distant
federal courts, often requiring a
change or addition of counsel and al
ways the expense of travel of parties
and witnesses and the discomfort of
living away from home.
I'm more recent years in the metro
politan centers, the smaller neighbor-
hood stores in which the housewife
markets and shops have become parts
of chains of stores owned by foreign
corporations, of which the profits of
such homely local transactions are
their sole detectives. AS was humor-
ously stated by Judge Yankwich, "A
woman slips on a banana peel in
corner grocery and lands in the fed
eral court In the particular situa-
ton of the judges jest, her nine-vote
jury would be sitting in the state
court house less than a block away.
The wrong done her would be all in
a very parochial setting; only distant
is the distribution of the corporate
dividends, all, quite likely, to the citi-
zens of the same state living on the
more pretentious streets of the same
city.
at seems clear that, in very pro-
found sense, the litigant dragged by
the foreign corporation from nine
vote jury to a unanimous jury is as
much denied the equal protection
of the law" as he was in his removal
from the common law of the state to |
the federal general commercial law"
of Smith V. Tyson, 16 Peters, 1, IS.
All that was said in Erie Ry. V. Temp
kins, 304 U. S. ga, rs, about the fic-
ton of federal general law applies
to the corporate citizen fiction in di-
cases. Indeed the argument
for a federal commercial law has
more respectable support than the
egal absurdity of the holding that,
.hough stakeholder in no way is
party to his corporations contract,
in a suit against the
on the contract, the cor
Doration is not being sued but all its
against none of whom
can plaintiff have judgment"

SENATOR MURRAY
TAKES STEPS TO
AID F. S. FAMILIES

WASHINGTON. - Sen. James e
Murray announced today that the
Farm Security Administration has as
sured him that the families occupy
ing tracts as tenants will not be re
quired to move from their homes for
one more year, or until permanent
solution of problems now confronting
that agency has been reached. Sen.
ator Murray interceded with the Farm
Security Administration when mum
Der of families in Sheridan county
appealed to him to protect them from
being dispossessed because they were
unable to qualify as purchasers.
Under the terms of the Bankhead-
Jones Farm Tenant Act, the F. S. A.
is proceeding to liquidate by sale to
tenants or others the various tracts
under its supervision. The current
Department of Agriculture appropria-
ton bill, passed recently over the
protest of liberal members of both
houses, requires that all Farm Secur-
ity projects must be liquidated as
expeditiously as possible. In carrying
out the mandate of this law, the F..
S. A. has been pressing sale of the
various units in it's projects. .
Senator Murray was assured by Ad-
ministretor Hancock that in those
cases where indebtednass in the fam
lily made it difficr or them to quail
ify as purchasers of the units, addi-
tional time will be given and the fam
lilies will not be dispossessed by sale
of the units to others for at least an
other year.
The Farm Security Administration
believes that relief through adjusting
the Indebtedness of its tenants is
the only feasible means of assisting
these project families, but points out
that it does not have authority under
existing laws to make such adjust
ments. Administrator Hancock as
sured Senator Murray that regional
directors of Farm Security have been
instructed to permit project families
who are eligible to purchase farms
except for the presence of indebted
ness, to remain on the property, I'M
der lease for another year pending
further observation or until a perma-
nent program has been worked out.
This relief will solve the problem
confronting many Farm Security fam
lilies in Montana, Senator Murray
said
