done by the House, which would

Hearst Paws NMU
$4,000 in Libel Suit

NEW YORk.-A check for $4,000
closed the books on the CIO National
Maritime Unions six-year fight against
the Hearst press. Walter Winchell and
the Andrew Jergens company for IL
belious statements.
Receipt of the check from the
Hearst corporation brings total dam
ages won by the union in the case to
$4,000. Last June the Jergens com
pany. which sponsors Winchell's
broadcasts. settled for $4,000 and the
union used the money to establish its
leadership-training schools.
The unions action was brought in
New York supreme court July 3. 1910,
following a broadcast by Winchell
and subsequent publication in the New
York Daily Mirror of charges that
NMU members were sabotaging Amer
lean ships. The case appeared on the
supreme court calendar for trial sew
eral times. NMU President Joseph
Curran explained. adding:
although Winchell frequently says
that there are hundreds and thousands
of people who sue him for libel but
appear in court. this time Win
chell, in order not to appear for trial,
agreed to settle the lawsuit along
with the Daily Mirror and paid $10,-
900 to the union
Curran said the victory by the
NMU in this cast is a victory for the
entire American labor movement. RAJ
do commentators and columnists are
returning to their prewar attacks
against labor and support of the un-
~ion-busting program OF the National
Association of Manufacturers. This
case proves that labor can win when
it fights persistently against all its
enemies-whether they are on the ra
do. in the press or in official posi-
tions-and continues that fight relent
lessly.'

The court said il was all right for
pickets To advertise their strike TO

company.
Union attorneys are appealing the
decision. II came in a l9-page report
after a month of hearings on the
company's request for an anti-picket-
ing injunction.
1T is our conclusion the court
said. that by the great weight of au-
thority in Ohio it is unlawful to pur-
sue any course Of conduct the sole
purpose of which is to induce breach
OF contract. This principle of law is
equally applicable to contracts cover
