TEXAS ANTI-UNION
LAW BEFORE u. S.
SUPREME COURT

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-The U.
S. Supreme Court recently heard re-
argument in the appeal of R. j.
Thomas, president Of the CIO United
Automobile Workers of America
found guilty of contempt of court for
violating an injunction prohibiting him
from soliciting union membership at
Houston, without first obtaining an
organizers card as required by Texas
law. Argument in the case was first
heard last spring by the Supreme
Court. Reargument was set in order
to permit the Department of Justice
to answer free speech questions raised
by the court.
Thomas, announcing his intention
to test the constitutionality Of the Ii
cense law, addressed meeting Of
workers of the, Humble Oil Co. at
Houston Sept. %, 1943 and solicited
membership in the oil workers union.
A preliminary restraining order was
issued the day previous to the an
nounced meeting. Thomas was SEN
fenced to 3 days imprisonment and
$1O0 fine.
The Texas Supreme Court upheld
the conviction on the ground that the
regulation of labor unions is a prop
er exercise of the police power of
the state.

New York City.-The role of AM
erican labor in helping to reestablish
democracy firmly in Italy highlighted
discussion at the Columbus Day din
ner of the Italian-American Labor
Council, attended by $500 workers, at
the Hotel Commodore.
Another feature of the dinner was
the radio address of President
Roosevelt and Premier Ivanoe Bonomi
of Italy. Luigi Antonini, Vice Presi-
dent of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, presented the
Italian American Labor Council S
-Four Freedoms Award" to President
Roosevelt. The award was accepted
in behalf of the President by At
torney General Biddle.
The labor speakers were Mr.. An
tonini and Matthew Woll, Vice Presi-
dent of the AFL and chairman of the
Labor League for Human Rights.
Mr.. Woll stressed the need for help
ing Italy in the task of her political
and economic rehabilitation as an es-
sential element in the larger problem
of re-establishing stable worlc
equilibrium. Making allowances fol
the primary consideration required BY
the military situation, Mr.. Woll sale

will then consider the NWLB state
ment, draw up one Of his own and, in
turn, pass the whole works on to the
President.
This time-consuming process is ex-
pected to delay any possible decision
by the President until after election.
AFL and CIO leaders have protested
against such delays.
The resolution adopted by the pub
lie and industry members of the Board
said:
"The board is not sufficiently in
formed as to the possible effects of
modification of the Little Steel for
mula on the price structure and on the
national economy generally to war
rant assurance that any modification
could be made consistent with the
stabilization needs of the country and
with the provisions of the act of Oct.
2, 1872 (as renewed by the Economic
Sterilization Renewal Act of June,
1944).
"The board will, therefore, not in
clude in it's factual report to the Pres
ident any recommendations for action
one way or the other with regard to
the Little Steel formula"
Earlier the board voted down, 8 to
a, an AFL resolution placed before it
that the President be requested to is
sue an Executive order (which will
realistically adjust the wage stabili-
zation policy of the Government with
the increased cost of living and permit
employers and employees to effectuate
the newly established policy by vol
untary agreement without submission
to the NWLB."
The labor members, pointing out
that the board had had before it for
more than year specific requests for
modification of the Little Steel for
mula, asserted that "time and again
the board has given to the workers of
America clear indication that when
evidence was presented to it the board
would take these requests under con-
sideration and would make appropri-
ate recommendations to the President
based thereon"
They recalled that on March %,
1914, the board had said that it could
recommend change in the Little
Steel formula if the formula created
"gross inequities."

Labor's Roll in Relief to Italy
Stressed at Columbus Day Dinner
Hope Expressed That The Aid Promised Italy By United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Program viii Come

nize that the record of the Allies in
relation to Italian civilian affairs is
one of failure in important respects,
a failure which we hope will not be re-
peated elsewhere in Europe"
He expressed hope that the aid
promised to Italy by the United Ma
tions Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
ministration through an appropriation
of $50,00O,000, and the more recent
survey of the situation in that country
ordered by President Roosevelt would
prove the beginning of a more ade-
quate policy.
Mr.. Woll emphasized the desire of
the AFL to help restore democratic
trade union movement in Italy and in
all countries where unions have been
destroyed by the Germans, saying that
the revival of free trade unionism was
essential in rebuilding democracy in
all countries. In this. connection Mr..
Woll mentioned the program Of the
Free Trade Union Committee created
by the Labor League for Human
Rights, relief arm of the AFL, calling
for raising fund of at least 81, ,000,-
900 to help finance the work.
In his address Mr.. Antonini told Of
his observations during recent trip
to Italy.

Labor Members Charge Board Has Failed In It's Duty

"This is tantamount to an admis-
sion by the public members of the
Board that they are not competent to

bers hotly countered.
The net effect of the action--or in
action--of the Board will be to delay

Como Need
Some Dough?

We've still got big job ahead,
but some day it will be finished
and We'll all be heading back-to
%hat?-a farm, a business, or to
buy home and settle down?
Loans for these three purposes
are available to veterans who served
on or after f6 September 1910 and
before the end of the war. and We're
discharged under conditions other
than dishonorable, after active ser
vice of 80 days or more, or because
of service-incurred injury or disa-
bility
There are no set rules for every
type of loan, but generally speak
ing, the loan must be used for the
purpose for which it was obtained;
the veteran must be able to afford
the payments; the price must be a
reasonably normal value; the prop
erty useful; and for farms or bus
mess loans, the veteran must have
enough ability and experience to be
pretty sure of making a go of it.
The Administrator of Veterans
Affairs will guarantee up to SO per?
cent of any such loan, provided
that the amount guaranteed does
not exceed total of $4,000 The in
tereSt on the guaranteed amount
for the first year will be paid by the
Administrator. Loans so guaranteed
bear interest of not more than AZ
per year, and must be paid up with
in twenty years. When it is neceS-
Sary, a second loan may be guar
anteed, with interest of 1T6 more
than the interest already being paid
on the existing loan. The total
amount guaranteed on both loans,
: however, can not exceed the $4,000
limit, and most conform to- the
other requirements.
Applications must be made within
Two years after discharge or Separa-
ton or two years after the end of
. the war whichever is lateD, but
in no case more than five years
after the end of the war.

ministration or ask your Personal

WINGED FURY PROTECTS INVADERS
Aborfive
Norway
Adventure
BY UNITED PRESS

AS superbly- trained Allied in
vasion troops swarmed ashore
today observers recalled rue
fully the makeshift little British
force which made abortive land
ings in Norway four springs
ago.
Outnumbered five to one,
without artillery, mechanical
equipment or adequate aerial
support. the invading columns
were hammered m rcilessly
wherever the Germans willed.
Answering Nazi-ridden Nor
ways call for help, the British
landed one force at the little
towns of Namsos north of
Trondheim and another at An
dalsnes to the south. They hoped
to pinch off the ancient port and
use it as a base for operations
in central Norway. Simultane-
ously far to the north, another
British unit went ashore at
Narvik. the arctic outlet for the
Swedish iron mines at Kiruna.
But the action was doomed to
be one-sided from the start.
Nazi bombers harassed Allied
troops necessarily, bomb i n G
their bases and communication
lines and Notwithstanding their
advancing soldiers, unprotected
by effective anti-aircraft fire.
German tanks and armored cars
sWooped down on Allied contin-
gents virtually unchallenged.
On May 2, three weeks after
tn landings, Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain told Com
mons that lowing TO German To-
cal air superiority" it had been
found impossible to land Brit
ish tanks and artillery. The or
der for the evacuation of the
Trondheim area, he said, had
been given.
Resistance continued for some
weeks at Narvik, but early in
June it, too, had to be aban-
doned, completi ng Britain's
most stunning invasion failure.
