Miss Falpey Hits
Labor La1V in Talk
To Party Women

The provision of the Taft Hartley
labor law banning political CONTRIB
buttons and expenditures by labor
was called an "in-s
fringement on the right Of freedom
of speech and freedom of the press
in an address yesterday before the
Woman's National Democratic Club
Miss Catherine Falyey, field reps'
resentative for the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, criticized other
features of the law but said the.
section on restriction of political
could cause the.
greatest amount of damage"
IF a labor organization cannot
lobby to the people of this country
then why are lobbyists in Congress
allowed to influence the represen-
tatives of the people Of this coun-
try?" the speaker, asked.
Miss Falvey also said it appeared
that, instead of amending the Wag-'
ner Act, the new legislation changes.
its complexion and meaning to
the extent it puts labor organiza-
tions' legal protection out of exist
ence."
''The closed shop Is outlawed,
she said, land the unions can be-
liable for damage suits for breach,
of their contracts. These provisions,
open the way for a multitude Of.
legal controversies which can tie up.
our major industries to the detri-
ment of full production program.
Management can talk directly to
workers, even on such matters as o
company union. The representative
seems to have been outmoded by,
this procedure" !
The speaker said there is pos
sibility that the Joint Committee OF.
Congress set up to study this act'
and labor relations may recognize.
these pitfalls and remedy then" i
She added. however, that sit is most
unfortunate that more adequate
study was not given to this act be-
fore its passage"
Perhaps some people felt that
there was an urgent need for this,
kind of a change In labor law" she!
continued. But legislation passed;
in haste which establishes prece-,
dent against free speech and indi-,
vidual action is the greatest danger,
of all"
Miss Falvey's talk featured the.
last in the series of teas which have.
been held this summer at the club
house. The afternoon program was,
preceded by an informal luncheon
attended by more than 20 members
who remained to play cards. ;
Those present included Mrs. Ju-i
lien Friant, first vice president; Mrs.
B. Braxton Jones, treasurer: Mrs.
Jackson G. Davis, recording secre.
tary, and Mrs. Leslie Biffie. corre-
spending secretary. Mrs. Will Clay

REVENUE FROM.. PUBLIC HANDS

The Senate has passed Del legate Bartlett's bill which would render financial aid for public roads and public schools in Ala ska from the sale and other monetary disposi- tion Of public lands in the Territory. Tho measure, passed several weeks ago by . the House, amends tho Mineral Leasing Act so that 3711 perc ent of the money rece ived from sales, bonuses, royalties and rental Of public lands in Alaska will go to the support of public schools, for the con- struction and maintenance of public roads or other public educ at ion institut ions,, as the Legislature may direct.
 The exten sion of this benefit to Ala ska, insofar as 3755 percent of the money re- ceived is concerned, places the Territory on par with the States. The balance of the receipts in connect ion with financ ial di sposition of public lands in the Stat e: is divided, 5a31 percent go ing to the re- cl amat ion fund and the remainder being retained in the Treasury of the United States. Under Del egate Bartlettfs mea- sure, the rema inder of the income from leases in Ala ska will be paid into the general funds of the Uni ted States until such time as the reel anati on act may be e7-t ended to the Territory. The Senate, in passing the legislation,
 amended it by re serving all money accru- ing from lands vithin the naval petroleum reserves for the federal Treasury.

Because big cities radiate heat,

estimate that it will take about
eight years to find a site, put up the

In addition to providing the ma

BUDGET SURPLUS:
Dwindling Fast

1t begins to appear as though
President Truman made a small
miscalculation when he predicted
that the treasury would wind up the
fiscal year on June 80 with a budget
surplus Of $3.50, 000, 900, because
the surplus already has dipped be-
low that figure.
The surplus, meaning the excess
Of income over spending. has
shrunk to 81, 1928. 5O7, 900 - the fall

caused by spending in excess Of in

mans original figure.
