now to delay still longer consideration

Washington (FP). - A long black
record of deliberate defiance of the
authority of the federal government
and the National Labor Relations act
has been piled up by Montgomery
Ward & Co., second largest mail order
house In the country.
The current dispute runs back to
June 16, 1912, when the National War
Labor board assumed jurisdiction on
the recommendation of a triparte
panel.
Montgomery Ward is fighting the
United Mail Order, Warehouse and
Retail Employees (CIO) over con-
tract covering some 1000 employees
in it's Chicago warehouse, mail order
house and retail store.
The WLB on Nov. 5, 1912 unani-
mOusly directed the company to in
clude in it's contract with the union a
maintenance of membership clause,
with Is day escape provision re-
vocable check-Off, arbitration Of dis
putes and no-strike, no-lOckOut
clause.
The company signed a contract with

these provisions Dec. Is, 1942 only
after it was directed twice by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to comply with the
WLB directive.
Following the expiration of this two
year contract, the WLB after public
hearing ordered the company to eX-
tend its terms pending a determination
by the NLRB of the unions repre-
sentatiOn rights.
On April 5, 1914, after a second pub
lie hearing, the WLR was unanimous
in ordering the company to comply
with this order. The two industry
members joined with the public and
labor members in approving it.
On April II, 1914, the WLB again
unanimously, voted to refer the ques-
tiOn to President Roosevelt for appro-
pirate action. At the same time the
employees walked out on strike in
Chicago.
President Roosevelt acted on April
%, ordering the strikers to return to
work and the company to comply with

Nashville, Tenn. (FP).-The same
passed polltaX repeal act that was
later killed by Memphis Boss Ed
Crump's supreme court reversed itself
and turned down another proposal to
wipe out this mortgage on the ballot
box.
Yielding belatedly to criticism from
some authorities that the state now
ranks 18th among the states in educa-

pass Il bill raising the salaries of its
low paid teachers $50 month for
eight months of the year. 1t refused,
however, to make the raise effective

This action brought to a head the

When both AFL and CIO modified

northern California employers decided
not to touch it and certain COP lead

endanger Republican control of the
state in the national elections.

Tribune Weeps For
Thirty Hitler Lovers
Publisher McCornick's Pal
Gives Nuzi Salute And
Boasts She Is Fascist

Chicago (FP).-It'S shame the
way the government is pushing those
patriotic nationalists around.
That's the way The Chicago Tribune
sizes up the trial of 30 alleged Hitler
lovers in Washington, including Pub
Usher Robert II. McCormick's pal,
Lizzie Dilling, author of the Red Net
work, bible of seditiOnistS.
Arthur Sears Henning, who is cover
ing the sedition trial for the Tribune,
was so chummy with the Dilling-
Washbuln- Smythe crowd that the
court bailiff let him into court as a
defendant when other correspondents
were barred.
Mrs Lois Lafayette WaShburn, who
gave the Nazi salute and bOasted that
she is Il fascist, is remembered in Chi
cagO for saying at a public forum that
"after the revolution, we will shoot
all CIO union leaders against a stone
wall" She included the president OF
the CIO in her angry denunciation of
speech dealing with the labor press.
Don't you worry about the labor
press she told the speaker. There
won't be any labor press when we get
through with you. You fellows will all
be lined up in front of stone wall,
too"
You could almost hear the guns
barking as she talked in shrill stac-
cato tone.
