Local Unions Assist
Telephone Workers
Phoenix Relief Fund

EmSon Woods, president of Phoe-
nix Typographical Union, reports
that at special meeting last Sun
day, the local appropriated 500
to the local telephone workers re-
lief fund. In addition, he said,
chairmen of avery print shop in
Phoenix had provided container
to receive individual donations, and
he anticipated many chapelS would
contribute as unit.
Other Phoenix local Unions have
sent in funds during the past week,
Laborers local No. 383 contribut-
ing $3.50; railroad local No. 684,
$1O0; Painters local No. Sc, $3.50;
u. S. SteelworkerS, No. 1897, C1O,
$100; Carpenters local No. 1889,
$3.50; Taamsters local No. 274, $50;
Teamsters local No. 104, $3.50; F.
T. A. No. 78, CIO, $25; Operating
Engineers, local No. 428, $3.50.
Other local Unions will take ac-
ton at their regular meetings and
considerable money will yet be
sent to the telephone workers.
These workers have been used
as the fatted calf for many years
by a giant financial corporation
posing as a paternalistic employer
that has endeavored to fool their
employees and show them Unions
were unnecessary. The workers
were finally led to the slaughter,
and were forced to stand on their
rights as free American men and
women.
In their desperate attempt to
emerge as free workers, all Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Unions
should lend all financial aid pos
sible to help them.

Portal Cases To Supreme Court

DETROIT, P)-With the bless ings of federal district judge Frank A. Picard, the multi-billion dollar portal pay dispute appeared des- tined today to return to Congress and the Supreme Court for tinal settlement.
 Labor attorneys planned to car ry Judge Picard's decision dis missing the Mt. Clemens Pottery co. to the nations highest court and maintained it would have lit tie or no bearing on hundreds of other portal suits on file in other districts.
 Spokesmen for American indus try, from which some $4,800,000,- 900 is sought in portal claims, gen. erally commended the ruling. Many felt, however, that revision of the fair labor standards (wage- hour) act still was "urgent.
 AS for Picard himself, he has ex- pressed on numerous occasions a wish that the case would be ap- pealed once again to the Supreme Court, which injected the portal to-portal theory in the original dis pute over alleged unpaid overtime.

Legislature Busy With Taxes And Liquor Business
(BY Mildred Hermann)

most from the First would put the Territory in the wholesale liquor business by requiring all retail dealers to buy only from the Terri torial commission set up to handle the matter.
 Bill by McCutcheon of Anchor age, introduced yesterday would put the Territory in the retail li- quor business. This would eStab- fish Territorial stores operated without profit which would be the sole source of supply to the public for liquor. It would put all present liquor establ shments out of busi- ness. This bill will have consider able back as it has been requested by large number of organizations and individuals as remedy to the present deplorable situation due to the handling of liquor. It should smoke out some liquor lobbyists.
 Boyle, Territorial auditor yester- day sent a list of registered lobby iSts to both houses. Will cover in detail in my next newsletter. It contains mostly the names of can nery and mining lobbyists and representatives of organized labor.
 Senate bill 16 was up for con- sideration yesterday and it held the Senate busy until late in the afternoon, introduced by Walker. It would give the speaker of the House and the president of the Senate appointing power for the tax commissioner, taking that power away from the Governor.
 An attempt was made Saturday to prove the incompetence of the present tax commission, M. P. Mullaney in the hearing on the bill. Also to show that Greuning had thumbed his nose at the Sen ate in the matter of the appoint ment.
 Mullaney was called to the stand and closely questioned. The ques- tioning revealed a great deal of de- linquents in the matter of paying the sales tax especially in the Sec ond Division, which paid only about $14,O0O last year. Senators believe much more than S140,000 worth of business was done in the Second Division and sharply ques- toned Mullaney regarding this.
 Mullaney admits many delin- quents in all parts of the Territory, including the Second Division, but says he does not have sufficient staff to handle the situation. He seemed entirely able to handle the situation here and met the Senate inquisition with flying colors.
 The Governor was called to the stand to explain why he had failed 70 orDoirt anOther tax commits sioner after Mullaney was not confirmed by the Senate last Marc''. Gruen'nu read a mass of correspondence showing details re the Mullaney appointment on the recommendation of the previous tax commissioner under whom he had worked and said that he had no one else with the qualifications required by the law to offer as a candidate. That he either had to retain Mullaney as a holdover or
