Upholds Press
Free Speech

The United States Supreme
Court Monday upheld newspap-
ers' right to criticize the courts.
The seven justices reversed a
contempt conviction against the
Miami (Florida) Herald and its
associate editor, John D. Penne-
kamp, growing out of two edi-
torials and a cartoon published in
1914.
The opinion was based upon
the question whether the edi-
torials and cartoon were clear
and present danger to the adj
ministration of justice.
In the courts ruling, Justice
Frankfurter wrote that a free
press and an independent judi
ciary are necessary to a free So
ciety and that one Of the potent
means for assuring judges their
independence is free press.
Criticism must not feel
cramped, even criticism of the
administration of criminal JUS
tice. ." he continued.
Justice Murphy said that free
dom of the press includes the
right to criticise and discourage,
even though the terms be vltrlo-
lie, scurrilous or erroneous
Justice Rutledge said IF every
newspaper which prints critical
comments about courts without
justifiable basis in fact, or with
holds the full truth in reporting
their proceedings or decisions, or
even goes farther and mistakes
what they have done, were sub
Ject on these accounts to punish
ment for contempt, there would
be few not frequently involved
in such proceedings"

the cases were closed at the time
the editorials were written. but

they still were pending

Joseph Baker
OF Philadelphia
Visits Arkansas

Joseph V. Baker of the Phil
adelphia Inquirer, spent the day
in Little Rock on the last lap of
his southern tour gathering on
the-scene data of the labor stu
alton of the south for his publi-
cation.
Mr. Baker began his on-the-
scene gathering at Atlanta,
Georgia, and covered most of the
eastern states, including Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
He expresses himself as seeing
success for labor organizations
In their mammoth drives to take
the south, and stated: "The Ne
gro is ready and will give his
support to the campaign despite
the south's organized opposition"
Mr.. Baker pulled no boners in
stating that the Arkansas Negro
is less prepared for a fight than
those other states. He was strong
in his condemnation of Arkansas
legislation to curtail the labor
movements.
He was the guest of the Bateses
while in the city.

The minister continues in his
sermon:
THE president of a southern
eolored teachers college had two
sons. Before they went into the
army the president insisted that
they be registered as qualified
voters. They were rejected as
qualified voters, because the
examination for voting was made
so strenuous due to the color of
their skins. The white man
could get a permit to vote by
answering a few simple questions

S. For l0-hour
Day Demanded
By Farm Labor

A demand for SIS per day for
ehopping cotton has been raised
by the National Farm Labor
Union, it was revealed in Mem
phis today.
II. l.. Mitchell, president of the
union, announced that $4,000
circulars bearing the unions de-
mands for So for 10 hours work.
were distributed in the plantation
areas of Arkansas, Missouri, Mis-
sissippi, and Alabama, by Mon
day, June 3rd.
The union circulars advised all
farm labor--cotton choppers and
day hands, not to work for less
than living wage. According
to Mitchell, rates being paid to
cotton choppers range from Sl.5O
per day to $3.50 in the delta
plantation area,
The circulars tated that, "There
is a shortage of labor on the
farms. Now is the time to gel
fair days wage for a fair days
work" Notice was also giver
that any farmer wanting to hire
labor at the union wage rate OF
S. a day, would be supplied with
good workers.
The circulars were published
and distributed by the District
Councils of the National Farm
Labor Union
Mitchell said that rumors hae
spread throughout the planta.
ton country that the circulars
were being distributed by a mar
in an airplane. However, the
rumors did not state how the
handbills happened to be tackec
on telephone poles, fences, anc
barns, nor how they were care
fully placed on the porches Of
plantation owners.
