SHUTS Government
Charge rs With
Aiding Strike

PRETORIA, South Africa -
(NNPAl - The issue was defin-
itely joined last Friday between
the SHUTS Government and Left
Wing elements, including the Com
munist party, when a johannes
burg magistrates court imposed
relatively heey fines on forty-six
defendants accused of having aid
ed and abetted the strike" of
$4,000 native workers in the Rand
gold mines last month.
The miners ceased work last
month with the support of white
Communists, demanding a daily
wage of So instead of 80 cents.
Mining companies invoked action
by the police and in five days the
movement had ended.
The immediate sequel was the
arrest of fifty-two persons on
charges of conspiracy and incite-
ment and the simultaneous laun-
ching by liberal sympathizers of
a drive for $4,000 to assure ade-
quate defense. On prosecution,
the charges were modified to mere
aiding and abetting, and forty-six
of the accused, by mutual consent
pleaded guilty. The six others
are being discharged.
In light of these circumstances
nominal penalties had been ex-
pected. But the court imposed
fines of $50 or two months i'm
prisonment with hard labor on
thirty-four of the accused for
having distributed pamphlets and
5000 or two months in Jail with
hard labor on eleven Communists
for having aided the strike. In
each case approximately half of
the penalty was suspended for one
year.

For 3.Year Term on PUG

The Senate late yesterday con-
firmed the nomination of James H.
Flanagan for another three-year
term on the Public Utilities Commits
sion, without debate or opposition.

Thursday, at which his reappoint-
ment was opposed by a spokesman

tion raised was that Mr.. Flanagan
lacked intimate knowledge of the
taxicab business.

Nevada, Joined spokesmen for citi-
zens' associations in indorsing Mr.

Copeland Execution
Stayed 10 October Is

Justice Alexander Holtzoff of Dis
trict Court yesterday granted stay
of execution for William Copeland,
81, colored. convicted murderer, from
August 6 to October 18, pending in
stitution of further legal steps by
his counsel, James j. Laughlin.
Copeland was convicted in May,
1914. of flrst-degree murder in the
fatal shooting of Mrs. Dora M. John
son, 43, colored, in February of that
year. He was found guilty in third
trial after two mistrials.
Mr.. Laughlin yesterday entered
a motion in the Court of Appeals
asking leave to file a petition for
rehearing in the appellate branch
He also asked that the case be re-
manded to District Court for fur
their proceedings in that court, and
II these requests were denied, that
the mandate of execution be de-
layed so that he again could ask
the Supreme Court to hear the case.
The conviction has been upheld
by thu Court of Appeals and the
supreme Court had once before re-
fused to hear the case.
Among other grounds mentioned
in the motion for remanding the
case to District Court, Mr.. Laughlin
challenged the legality of the jury
panel which heard the case on the
ground that poor people were not
called for jury service" Mr.. Laugh
lin said this was forbidden by a Su-
preme Court decision.

Testing Laboratory
Ban Again Faces
D. {. Bill Conferees

House and Senate conferees once
more must settle the fight the House
Appropriations Committee has car
ried on successfully for more than
a decade-to prevent the District
Highway Department from operat-
ing its own testing laboratory.
This year those in charge of the
regular annual appropriations bill
for the District succeeded in getting
that measure through both houses
without the customary House rider,
prohibiting use of any funds to op-
crate the laboratory.
Later, however, the House Ap-
preparations Committee revived the
rider and attached it to an urgent
deficiency bill. Late yesterday the
House refused. by standing vote of
IA to 81, to take the ban out of the
deficiency bill.
Unless the Senate succeeds in
eliminating it, the District must
continue having its testing done by
the Bureau of Standards, instead of
running its own laboratory.
Representative Horan. Republi-
can, of Washington, led the fight
yesterday to let the District use its
laboratory. He was acting for
Representative Stefan, Republican
Of Nebraska, a close student of Dis
trict legislation.
Mr.. Horan told the House that If
the District government had been
permitted to use its laboratory dur
ing the years the prohibition has
been in effect, the city would have
saved $1OO, 900.
