Supreme Court Bars
Writs for RAILWAYS
Refusing Arbitration
BY the Associated Press.

ny the ASSOCIATED PreS9.
The Supreme Court ruled today
that a railroad is not entitled to a
court order restraining striking en-
ployes from committing acts of vio-
lence unless the carrier first has
made every reasonable effort" to
settle the labor dispute.
Justice Rutledge delivered the
unanimous opinion, which set aside
a Federal District Court injunction

gineers and f1remen from commit
ting acts Of violence against the

ing conditions, including what the
railroad termed "feather-bedding"
union rules.
Noting that the NorriS-La Guardia
Act on issuance Of injunctions pro-
vides that no restraining order
should be granted unless every rea-
sonable effort" had been made to
settle the dispute, Justice Rutledge
added:
The question, broadly stated. is
whether respondent (the railroad)
made every reasonable effort to
settle the dispute, as the section re-
quires. On the facts, this narrows to
whether its steadfast refusal to agree
to arbitration under the Railway
Labor Acts provisions made the Sec
ton operative.
I'VE think it did, with the conse-
quence that the Federal courts were
deprived Of the power to afford in
junctive relief and respondent was
remitted to other forms of legal
remedy which remained available.
Respondent was subject to the
Railway Labor Act. Its provision
and machinery for voluntary arbi-
tration were available Resort to
them would have been a reasonable
effort to settle the dispute.
Clearly arbitration under the act
was a method, both reasonable and
available, which respondent refused
to employ, not once but repeatedly
and adamantly."
The court also ruled, 7 to 2, that
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in acting on a proposed merger
Of motor carriers, may relieve the
companies from the requirements of
the Federal antitrust laws.
Justice Rutledge delivered the de-
cision which upheld proposed

common carrier of property by motor
vehicle in the United States"

Gen. Bradley, who is so, succeeded

Correspondent Hal Boyle thus de-
scribed him:
HE is thorough, shrewd, thrifty
of his mems blood and lives, a mas
ter of military tactics and as natu-
raj personally as one of his native
Missouri cornfields.
He does his job the way farmer
would-always the simplest way. I
watched him work at the front for
more than a year and I never have
heard a soldier or a correspondent
say word against him. That
makes him unique"
Gen. Bradley received major cred

Corps into Bizerte, Tunisia He
took over from Gen. Patton when
the Americans were shifted north.
One Of the Army's best infantry
commanders, Gen. Bradley is tall,
thin and rather reserved. His fel-
low officers regard him as great
tactician.
The general was graduated from
West Point in 1915. An athlete at
the Military Academy, he has ex-
celled many enlisted men in physi-
cal endurance. Associates said that
often during maneuvers in Southern
States he ran through obstacle
courses, swinging across ravines and

II the war against Germany
extends well into next year, these
officials point out. casualties will
continue heavy and American
farms again will be called upon
to furnish substantial numbers OF
men for the armed services. This,
combined with demands for labor
from war industry, they warned,
may well create a serious farm
labor situation in 1945.
SHIFT IN L. s. DIET
The farm labor situation was
brought into sharp focus as the
agriculture department revealed a
shift in the American diet during
the first quarter OF 1945.
The department said more milk,
cottage cheese. eggs, fish. mar
garine. dry peas. cereal products,
apples and pears will be available.
There will be reduced supplies of
meat. poultry, butter. evaporated
milk. potatoes, fresh vegetables
and probably lard.
WAS l945 farm labor pro-
gram is based on the assumption
that about the same amount of
labor will be available as during
1914. and possibly more.
LABOR CASH AVAILABLE
Congress supplied S20.000.000
for the farm labor program next
year in the first supplemental APP
preparation bill which was signed
by President Roosevelt last week.
