Court Rejects
Phone HEARING

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
Supreme Court last week re-
fused to hear a case involving
telephone unionists and the New
Jersey state law barring strikes
against public utilities. The
grounds for the decision, handed
down this week, were that the
Supreme Court has no jurisdic-
ton over the case as it stands at
present.
The Traffic Telephone En-
ployes Union, a division of the
Communications Workers OF
America, is fighting the law as
unconstitutional. The bill was
drafted, according to the unions
brief, by counsel for the phone
company.
Passed a few hours after the
nationwide telephone strike
started last spring, the governor
withheld his signature, the un-
ion charges, to see whether the
union would call off the strike.
When the union continued the
strike, it was signed. Four days
later, several union members
were arrested and fined $10,-
900. An appeal on the case is
awaiting decision before the
N. j. Chancery Court.

Denham
Slapped
By Helper

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL
.HPA)-NLRB General Coun-
sci Robert Denham W a S
slapped down last week by
one of his own trial examiners
in a decision rejecting a claim
that a strike by a union in a
plant that has a contract with q
rival union violates the Taft
Hartley law. 1t was the first de-
cision filed by an NLRB trial
examiner under the new law.
The case grew out of the fir
ing of an employee of the Perry
Novel; Co., Hunting, w. Va, and
the refusal of the company to
reinstate him. The company was
under contract with the Boot &
Shoe Workers-AFL but some
members of the AFL union
opened negotiations for member
ship in the United Shoe Work
ers-CIO. The company's refusal
to reinstate the fired employe re-
suited in a strike last April.
The NLRB filed Taft-Hartley
charges of unfair labor practices
against the United Shoe Workers
and an independent organization
set up by leaders of the strike
A complaint issued by Denham
contended that the strike was
called to force the company to
violate its contract with the AFL
union.
The trial examiner, Horace A
Ruckel, flatly rejected the argu-
ments of the NLRB attorney
representing D e n h m whose
office prepared by complaint
Ruckel found that no actual re-
straint or coercion was estab-
lished by Denham'S attorney,
and that the alleged threats and
violence amounted to no more
than minor clashes on the
picket line"
"There was no mass picket
ing" said Ruckel. There was
no single instance where any en-
.ploye seeking to enter the plant
was prevented from doing so.
There was no assault more seri-
Gus than a push with shoulder
or elbow, and no threat of vio-
lence which was taken seriously
On the whole, it would be diff
cult to find an instance of a
strike as peacefully conducted
under circumstances as provo
cative of violence"

URW Seeks
W0Qe Hike

AKRON, Ohio, Dec. II LPA)
The United Rubber Workers
CIO is considering requests by
local unions to call meeting of
the unions international policy
committee to discuss the wage
situation in the rubber industry.
URW President L. S. Buck
master said that "The pressure
of continually mounting prices is
causing increasing h ard sh p
among the families of our mem
bers. We had hoped that Con-
gress would take positive action
to solve the price problem, but to
date it shows no disposition to
do so.
eff Congress continues its
public be damned attitude" said
Buckmaster, "then labor shall
have to take the only course left
open to ito damand wage in
creases to offset the increase in
living costs during the last
year"
URW officials this week de.
MED earlier published reports
that the union had decided on a
specific amount to be demanded
as wage increases. In addition,
newspaper stories that the URW
is seeking general adoption of a
40-hour week were branded false
because the unions tire shops
have been on a 6-hour day, 36.
hour week for years. The cur
rent demand is for the 6-hour
day, 30-hour week throughout
the tire and tube industry.

out 3 or more pigs to top weights
(18O-24O lbs.) When the hogs are
ready to market next September
a show and sale will be held at

will be shown, appropriate prizes
awarded to the winning conteS-

hybrids came through with con-

is that they are more susceptible

are "hogging down the crop.

|Layn,an Group Offer,
Program 10 Improve
Court System Here

The committee OF laymen created
to cooperate with judges and law
yers In conjunction with the AM
erican Bar Associations Committee
on improving the Administration Of
Justice in the District yesterday out
lined program looking toward a
better court system here.
Meeting with members Of the
bench and bar In the Municipal
Court building. the lay group ap-
proved the creation of committees
under these headings:
!. Construction Of a new court
house.
2. improvements in the operation
of present court house facilities.
Juror Selection Involved.
3. Improvement in the method OF
handling civilian witnesses.
4. Selection and instruction of
jurors.
S. Traffic courts.
6. Consideration of the Hebert
Committee report.
The committees were proposed in
a report made by B. M. McKelway,
chairman of the laymen's group.
Washington I. Cleveland offered
q list Of suggested improvements in
the traffic court system. They includ-
ed provisions for preparation of COL
lateral lists for traffic offenses by
judges instead of by the Commits
sioners, the establishment of a vio-
lations bureau which would main
tain complete individual records for
use by the courts, single traffic
court and Improvements in the sal
ary, training and career service op-
portunities for prosecutors.
. Other points suggested for study
by the group included parking IA
cilities in the District, the establish
ment OF court clinic for pretrial
examinations and methods of work
ing in conjunction with the medical
profession in connection with court
cases.
Discrimination Study in Prospect.
Another matter which, it was felt,
should receive study was a report
that has been made by a university
professor containing the implication
that the courts were harsher on col
ored defendants than on white de-
PENDANTS. Replying to contentious
that the implication was unfounded,
Chief Justice Bolithia j.. Laws OF
District Court, chairman Of the
American Bar Association Commit
tee, replied:
II think the best thing that can
be done is to let 1t be known our
judges are doing right"
Leo A. Rover, chairman of the
Lawyers Committee on Co-opera-
ton With Laymen, welcomed the
interest Of the lay group in improv-
ing the administration of justice,
commenting there are more of you
laymen who come in the courthouse
and use its facilities than there are
judges and lawyers"
Mr.. McKelway asserted that the
subject was of deep interest to the
group and added, 1T seems to me
from what I have read about this
movement throughout the country
that it has great possibilities.
