Closed Shop Ban Upheld

The North Carolina ban on the closed
shon has been weighed in the balance. 1t
has not been found wanting.
On the contrary, it is declared constltu-
tional by the State Supreme Court.
The test case reached the high tribunal
from Buncombe county and was initiated
bv the American Federation OF Labor. IL
concerned $50 fines imposed on an employer
and six union officials charged with enter
ing into closed shop contract. They
claimed the law is unconstitutional in that
If transgressed their freedom OF contract,
their constitutional guarantees OF due pro-
cess and equal protection of the laws, their
freedom of speech and assembly.
The Supreme Courts ruling, prepared by
Associate Justice A. A. F. Seawell, and ap-
proved unanimously, declares "there is no
substantial difference between the closed
shop and the so-called all union shop"
And it adds: 'The statute protect the rights
of workmen to organize; it further protects
rights Of workmen to express their indivi
dual opinions by refusing to join unions.
The American Federation of Labor has in
dicated that it will carry the case to the
United States Supreme Court Thus the State
Supreme Courts opinion is not final. But
Al .a%o ~
the workman and the employer is beyond
cavil.
1t certainly sounds tocsin which, like
the shot fired in the Revolution, deserves
to be heard round the world. Like the i'll
junction issued against John L. Lewis when
the miners tycoon proposed to violate a
contract with the federal government and
order his minions out of the pits, it sets
precedent that clearly shows a seasoned
trend of thought, not against organization of
labor but the abuse of organized labor S
gains by greedy and dictatorial labor leau
ers, who have long been determined to rule
American industry with the same ruthless
ness that Russia is practicins in its Euro

WASHINGTON, - If the col.
lapse of the London Big Foul
Foreign Ministers Conference is
disappointing, take look at the
record of trying to make peace
after World War I. Roles OF the
nations have changed, but the
issues and arguments are much
the same, and the results equal
ly unsatisfactory.
On its face, the record after
War I may look better. Tw c
months after the fighting stop
ped, the peacemakers met al
Versailles. In q month they hao
drawn up the Covenant of the
League Of Nations. In less thar
six months they had agreed or
terms of a peace treaty. By con-
trast, it is now two and a hall
wears since We Day. And there
isn't a sign of a treaty wit h
Germany.
This isn't the whole story,
however. The U. S. never did
sign the Versailles Treaty. II
was July, 1921-near;y three
wears after the end Of War /
before the U. S. Congress, by
resolution, declared the wal

Stumbling Block
By PETER EDISON

AS matter of fact, the peace
makers after War I never took
care of the reparations issue.
The Treaty of Versailles merely
held the Germans responsible
for all war damage. Then it set
up a Reparations Commission
and told it to come back in two
years with a report on how
much Germany owed and how
it should pay back.
This commission fixed repara-
tions at $33 billion. It was to
come largely out of Germany's
current production-which is
what Russia now also wants
and it was more than Germany
could pay. It brought on the
ruinous initiation that put Ger
many into tailspin.
When Germany collapsed fl
nancially in 1923, Brig. Gen.
Charles G. Dawes went to Ger
many and worked out his plan
for scaling down reparations,
calling for $500 million repara-
tions payments a year. In 1928,
Germany failed to make pa "
ment and Owen D. Young work.
ed out a second scale-down. The
Young plan called for SIS mil
lion to $50 million n year for
SO years.
That lasted three years. Then.
with Germany's depression
spread all over the world, Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover took the
lead in proposing a one-y ear
moratorium on all international
payments. Later, in 1881, repre-
sentatives of the Euror IN gov
ernn1ents met at Lausanne.
Switzerland, and agreed to cut
back German reparations by 80
per cent. Next year, Hitler came
to power and that ended til e
whole business of reparations.
Thus. i the 13 years after the
end of War I, the Allies collect
ed in reparations from Germa-
ny only a little over 81 billion,
Over nalf of this amount was
offset by American loans to Ger.
many and the purchase of Ger
man bonds by U. S. private citi-
zens. Of the s24O million cost of
German occupation, only $66
million were collected.
1t is to prevent a recurrence
of this business of having Ger
many's reparations paid bv
American dollars that the U. S
has taken its firm stand against
Russia's demands for $40 billion
worth OF reparations from cur
rent German production. This
kind OF settlement could not be
paid or collected after World
War I.
Judging by present progress
If peace after World War II
must await settlement of the
reparations issue, it's a long
way off.

The
Sporting Thing

Seattle Nisei Vets Did It

SedCCle NlS0l NeIS Olu II
Like the Brooklyn Dodgers who fight for
every run, the Seattle Nisei Veterans capital
lied on late inning rallies to win the blue sec
ton championship of the Puget Sound Base
ball League.
The live spirit of the hustlng Vets should
be credited to Shire Yamaguchi, the pre-war
shortstopping ace of Western Giants, and Joe
Kesamalu, the lightning-shifty ex-college and
prep star. The two combined their talents to
keep the never-say-die Vets much intact.
There were times when Vets hopes sank.
Edo Sasaki, number one pitcher, sailed for
Alaska Just past mid-season. Ted Matsushl-
ia, har,i-swatting first sacker, tailsplnned into
brief batting slump
But then the others came to the rescue to
uphold Vet titular chances.
The two-man mound combination of Mas
Nakamich and George Shimizu turned in neat
performances. Fly-chasine George Okamura
patroled left field in pro style. And Kesamaru
himself, enjoying great hitting season, socked
at cool 800 clip according to our records.
So the Seattle Nisei Vets did what many
skeptics said couldn't be DONE

broke into radiant praises of her
own town and country at the slight
est provocation; reminding husband
and child Of their good fortune,
being in America, having all this
fruit and cream, not being afraid.
Other women, bewildered at the
change in her, told her she must
have fallen in love, and so she had,
with life.
Horace, who was 40, and tired,
and little depressed by the CLAM
our of uniforms and changes in
other mems lives, while his own re-
manned so dull, took fire from this
pretty, new, busy wife, and began
to branch out a little, too.
No Fairy Tale.
This is not a fairy tale, but it
reads like one. Myrtle may have
begun all this as a gallant bluff,
but like many another courageous
plant moved out of a cramping pot
into the good earth, it presently
took roots. Myrtle took in "a board
er, an old man who had once made
money in the fruit packing bust
ness, and when he saw Myrtle pre-
serving the small crop of berries
that grew on her backyard bushes,
he gave her suggestions.
Now Myrtle lives on a spacious
model farm with white fences,
white pullets, two white horses, one
white dog and numerous white cats.
Dianas teeth have come in, and at
IA she has a wavy permanent, and
is as pretty as any girl in school.
Pamela has joined the family and
has natural curls at three. Bert
beams at the world in comfortable
old clothes, and handles the ship
ping of the famous conserves.
Myrtle's face never has appeared
in the movie magazines. But home
magazines have had her story, and
on every jar of strawberry jam that
you buy under that brand, there is
the picture of small, smiling
woman with mat of curls coming
childishly down over her eyes, and
corduroy dress finished with an
embroidery turnover at the throat.
If you find it, don't hesitate to try
it; it is the best.

Look Expensive

If you sew at home, little
time spent on trimmings, partic-
ularly stitching, will help give
your garments professional
look.
Scallops represent a lot of
work, but for that very reason
they will also give clothing a
custom-made look. Make certain
they are even and well-rounded.
Tucking is one of the simplest
of tricks for making a simple gar
ment look costly. With the at
tachment for this purpose, it
isn't hard to achieve a profess
sional look.
Pleated edgings add lots Of ap-
peal to simple dresses and
blouses. Space the pleats evenly
and make sure the pleats are
deep enough to press easily.
Inserted banding is worth the
effort it takes to put it on. Often
used to simulate yoke effects,
it may be of the same color as
| tne IaDrlc Dut OF QlI1erent materl-
al-or it may be of contrasting
shade.
Never select fabric or style
without standing in front of the
mirror and judging what looks
best on you.
Use satin for blouses and
dresses only If you have a per-
feet figure. Lights falling on this
material emphasize faults on the
too thin or full figure.
Keep buttons which have been
removed from old clothing on
large safety pins. It's easy to
select buttons you want for
mending and repair when they
are kept in this way.
