1862 allegedly lost at Jimmy s
Place" described as a gambling re-
sort at BladenSburg road and East
ern avenue. was delayed this morn
ing in Prince Georges County Cir
cult Court by defense moves. Trial
had been set for today.
The suits were filed in December
l943. One was brought by Harry
Wilson, 81, HyattSville, who said he
lost the money at gaming tables
operated by the defendant, James
H. La Fontaine, and Charles Price -
The companion suit was brought
by Wilson's former employers, Fred
H. Ugast, John w. Lyles and Milton
E. Groome, operators of the Capitol
Service Stations, 100 block of New
York avenue NV. They claim the
losses represent funds embezzled
from the firm.
After attorneys for both sides told
the court they were ready for trial
today, Defense Counsel Charles Hall
and Frank Ford won a motion to
separate the cases, and the Wilson
suit was ordered renamed to the
Montgomery County Circuit Court
The court then set next Tuesday

Score Union Royalties

Royalty payments eXacted from
industry by unions may bring dis
aster TO the national economy. Of
ficers of the United States Chamber
of Commerce warned today as they
sent out to the membership ref
erendum on a resolution supporting
pending legislation to outlaw all
such schemes
The chambers board of directors
noted a recent startling instance
of the exaction by labor leader
and union against business en-
terprise of a royalty per unit on
sound recording in the musical
field"
A similar eXactlon. the members
were told, has been sought per
ton unit by labor leaders on coal
production against the operators
of that industry"
The directors said: These eX-
actions are not wages, but extras
going to union leaders or into union
treasures or trusts and not going
to the employees direct or subject
to their direct control
1t was added that such eXac-
tions, if tolerated, would represent
in effect a scheme of private taxa
tion-a scheme in which the taxes
would be levied, collected and used
not by government, but by private
individuals
A bill by Senator Bailey, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina prohibiting
royalty payments to employers rep
resentatives. is before the Senate
