Scores in tournament bridge are

The Debs Case And Lewis

To the extent that twenty-seven
years ago, shortly after another war,
John L. Lewis and the United Mine
Workers faced another injunction his
tory is now repeating itself. That time
Lewis and his union backed down. 1t
remains to be seen whether he and it
will {, so again, since the government
through the President and Secretary
of the Interior Krug are showing an
unaccustomed predisposition to fight,
or 90 to jail as Eugene Debs did IN
1894 under similar conditions.
At the time of the strike following
World War I, Lewis was acting presl-
dent of the United Mine Workers. The
country, then as now, was going through
a period of r%econversion from war
to peacetime production. The strike
placed a heavy handicap on the nations
industry. Attorney General Charles
Ames applied for a temporary injunc-
ton in Indianapolis, then headquarters
Of the union, charging the union with a
conspiracy to violate the Lever Act, a
wartime measure which Senator AS
bury Lever engineered to control pro-
duction of food and fuel. The hearing
before Judge A. B. Anderson in the
United States D District Court was
stormy, Henry Warrun, counsel for the
union. and Judge Anderson clashing re-
peatedly. Than, on the celebration of the
first Armistice Day, Lewis called the
strike off. How will it 60 this time?
Lewis has grown bold during the in
.tervening years. Able to dictate terms
to Washington in the past it would be
hard for him to yield an inch. Will he
be treated as Debs was? The Debs pre-
cedent still stands. In writing to Judge
Goldsborough, Attorney General Tom
Clark notes there can be no question
that the basic doctrine which it (the
Debs case) enunciated is valid and ap-
plicable here"
Eugene Debs had led the Pullman Car
Company strike. The Supreme Court,
Mr. Clark reminds Judge Goldsborough,
upheld as valid an injunction issued
against officers of a labor union re-
straining a strike against the Pullman
Company on the ground that such an
injunction was justified to remov OBJ
structions to the exercise of the gov
ernment's powers in connection with
the regulation of interstate commerce
and the transmission of the mails"
Failing to obey the injunction Debs
spent six months behind the bars. Does
that mean anything to John L. Lewis?

SANTA FE, N. M, Nov. 1912
Thomas ]. Mabry is a 62-year-
old, six-foot-three 230-pounder who
gave up h~and-springs and head
stands when he resigned as Chief
Justice Of the Supreme court to run
for governor.
Mabry, who will head New Mexi.
cos 18th and 18th years of con
tinuous Democratic administration,
used to startle his associate jurists
by occasionally turning fip-fops
on the Supreme court lawn. But
when he entered the governors
race he gave up gymnastics "to
take on a little dignity"
Mabry's campaign for governor
was featured by an attack on State
Highway department policies under
Gov. ]. ]. Dempsey. New Mexico
Democratic committeeman. (undef
state law, Dempsey could not run
again.)
He has promised to work for
efficient government, better roads
and rewriting of the state consti-
tution-which he helped frame IN
1910. He will take over a treasury
depleted by a record-breaking road
construction program but will have
81, 500, 900 intact for a capitol re-
modelling program.
Despite his atheletic abilities,
Mabry is Of a serious, even stu
dious, nature. His hobby is history,
particularly Of New Mexico and
the Southwest. A native of Car
Isle county, KY. he received his
law degree from the University OF
Oklahoma. He filed on a New Mexi-
co homestead in 1907, met and 4ar-
ried Katherine Burns, a school
teacher as little as he is large.
Mabry likes to eat Mexican food
and have folks about. He already
has announced plans to hold open
house in the executive mansion
once a week.
Everybody will be invited to
tramp On our rugs and cat our
cake" he says.
The Mabry's will occupy the
mansion alone. Two sons and a
daughter are married and. estabs
lished homes at Albuquerque and
in Maryland. They have four grand
children and Mabry frequently
interrupted his campaign tours to
buy trinkets for them.

Blocking Peace Efforts
Charges that Russia is blocking

voiced later by Rear Adm. Robert
B. Carney, assistant Chief of Naval
Operations for material, and for
mer Assistant Secretary of War
Louis Johnson.
Both men also asserted that
hasty rehabilitation of the armed
forces has weakened American in
fluence in world councils.
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Veterans
administrator, also deplored the
disintegration of American mill
tary might and said that the peace
can be lost "by timid world lead

ment of our armed strength"

mentioned the Soviet Union by

as they spoke out against the

the peace.

of the American Legion, said in a

which crushed the power of Hitler
is dead, land in its place there

which differs from that of the
