Injunction Bans Peaceful Picketing

CINCINNATI-(FP)-The Taft Hartley law is hitting hard.
 Acting under the spirit, but not the letter of that law, Judge Louis J, Schneider of common pleas court is- sued an injunction here against the Retail Clerks Intl. Assn. (AFL) for bidding picketing of Bond clothing store.
 The injunction was issued without prior notice to the union and despite the fact that 'picketing had been com pletely peaceful. The union claims two thirds of the clerks are members of the union and that an executive forced some of the pickets back to work by threatening to dismiss them.

Guarantee Wage On Annual Basis, Barry Proposes
Industry, Labor, Public, All Would Be
 Benefited
By Michael J. Barry President, Connecticut State Build. ing and Construction Trades COnnNiT

HcsAueHt, AOnnectIcut State Build.
 ing and Construction Trades
 Council.
 The building construction field is the most seasonal in. dustry in the United States. and if this industry is ever to be stabilized, it will be through the guaranteed annual wage. In normal times, the building trades mechanic and the con- tractor both suffer because of the seasonal nature of the i'm. dlIstry, and any plan which would make possible the guar anteed annual wage would benefit both organized labor and management, in particu- lar, and the public in general.
 We must remember that both labor and management succeed only when we serve the public, the consumer, if you will. If we can put our industry on a sound, year-around basis we will benefit ourselves and our community.
 LET'S PLAN NOW
 Needless to say, these are not normal times for the building trades, and we probably will nos get back to normal for a few years. But now is the time to start pIan- ming for normalcy. Let's get away from opinions, and let me cite a few facts. To get clear picture of the need for a guaranteed annual wage, asked the US. Department Of Labor for recent average weekly earnings in the building trades. Here is what I found:

RECOMMENDATIONS
 Here are some of its proposals:
 l. tsThe elimination of segrega. tion, based on race, color, creed or national .origin,, from American life. The separate but equal dOc- urine has failed There is no adequate defense of segregation. :" To bring about the achievement of this new bulwark of individuals rights the Committee majority pro- poses that Congress make 8 cOndi- ton of all federal grants of funds ''to public or private agencies for any purpose the absence of segre. gati0n and discrimination"
 2. Establishment of a permanent Commission of Civil Rights in the Ex- ecutive Office of the President, and a standing Congressional Committee on Civil Rights, to keep a hawk-like eye on the status of civil rights, to study why civil rights are denied, and to recommend action.
 8. Enactment of federal Fair Employment Practices Act prohibit ing all forms of discrimination i'm private employment based on race, color, creed, or national origin. Companion state laws covering in- sra-state industry. An FEPC, also, for federal employment.

Similar laws governing fair health practice" by public and private medical training institutions, clinics, and hospitals.
 1.-THE HOUSE I LIVE IN'
 5. Enactment of laws by the states to outlaw restrictive covenants. We would hold this belief under any cir cumstances; under present conditions when severe housing shortages are al- ready causing hardship for many peo- pie of the country, we are especially emphatic in recommending measures to alleviate the situation"
 6. An end to all forms of segrega- ton and discrimination in the armed forces.
 2. Action either by the states or Congress to end poll taxes as a voting prerequisite, and protecting citizens rights to qualify for, and to vote in federal or state prim- aries without restrictions based on race or color.
 8. Enactment of federal antilynch- ing act.
 9. "Professionalizing" state and To- cal police forces, and enactment of 3 new federal statute specifically directed against police brutality.
 10. Reorganizing the Civil Rights Section of the Justice Dept. by es. tablishing regional offices, increas. ing its funds and staff, increasing investigations even where there have been no complaints, the great. CT use of civil sanctions, and ele. vation of the Civil Rights section to the status of full division in the Justice Dept.
 "Your Committee has reviewed the American heritage" they told Truman land we have found in it again tn. great goals of human freedom ane equality under just laws.
 We have surveyed the flaws in the nations record and have found them tc be serious.
 'sWe have considered what gov. ernment's appropriate role should be in the securing of our rights, and have concluded that it must assume greater leadership. We be. lieve that the time for action is nOw."

showed a 30-cent rise. Middlings
rose from $3.50 to $4.45.
Scratch feed and laying mash
were up 20 and 10 cents, respec-
lively. Bran showed a slight in
crease of five cents. Feed prices
have risen somewhat consistent
ly during the past few month.
Current corn prospects attribute
largely to this rise in price.
Sharp Increase
Sharp increases in prices of
meat animals, dairy and poultry
products, and grains lifted the
index of prices received by farm
ers in the nation as a whole to
a new high of 286 per cent OF
the 1909-14 average, the bureau
of agricultural economics report
ed. The increase of four per cent
over last month is the sharpest
monthly rise since last March.
The index on September Is was
Is per cent above a year ago and
% per cent higher than the post
World War I high, 235 in May
of 1920.
At the same time, prices paid
by farmers, including interest
and taxes, rose about one per
cent and established a new all
time high of 237.
Hogs Cause Increase
Meat animals, especially hogs,
caused much of the increase in
the prices received index. Higher
dairy products prices-on butter,
butterfat, and wholesale milk
were a close second. Eggs, wheat,
and corn also made substantial
contributions to the increase
in the index. Hog prices ros IL
per cent during the month, and
of corn and wheat rose
10 and 16 per cent, respectively.
Farmers were receiving IL per
cent more for eggs than in Au-
gust and Is per cent more for
butterfat. Cotton and vegetable
were lower, partly offset
ting the increases.
The rise in the index of prices
paid resulted primarily from
higher feed prices-led by corn
and corn products-and from
food, clothing, and build
ing material prices, which more
than offset decreases in several
other groups of commodities
bought by farmers, the report
said.

EisIer's Counsel Charges
Error in Asking New Trial

Attorneys for Gerhardt Eisler, al
legged Kremlin agent convicted last
week Of contempt of Congress, have
filed motion for new trial.
The defense complains, among
other things, that District Court
Justice Alexander Holtzoff erred in
refusing to disqualify himself when
an affidavit of prejudice was pre-
sented against him. 1t also was
charged that Justice Holtzoff's de
meanor. conduct of the trial, and
treatment of Eisler and his coun-
sel' made the jury hostile to Eisler.
An affidavit of prejudice against
Justice Holtzoff, similar to that in
the Eisler case. was filed last week
In the mass contempt-o Congress
trial of members of the Joint Anti
Fascist Refugee Committee. In that
case, the United States Court of
Appeals granted a writ of mandamus
barring Justice Holtzoff from pre-
siding at the trial. 1t then was as
signed to Justice Richmond B.
Keech.
Eisler's lawyers also have filed a
motion in arrest of judgment" al
leging there were insufficient facts
In the Governments indictment of
Eisler to constitute an offense
against the United States.
Justice HoHzof will rule on these
motions before passing sentence on

BerIe Says Red Aggression
Is Driving World 10 War
ey the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, June 18. - Adolph
Berle. former Assistant Secretary of
State, said yesterday that Russian
aggression was driving the world to
the brink of another war
He told the AFL International
Ladies Garment Workers Union
that the Nation was looking down
the gun barrels of another war"
The politicians don't say so in
public, but they know it, and so do
you and everybody else" Mr.. Berle
asserted.
He accused Soviet diplomats of
using Hitler techniques and said
Russian Quislings could be found in
Hungary, Austria, italy, Greece and
"other countries"
There comes a time when the
aggressor cannot STOP Mr.. Berle
added. He is driven by internal
dynamism. He must either win all
or lose all. The rest of the world
must surrender to him or defend
against every move. We are ap-
preaching that line now"
He said the United States had
been treated to line of propa-
ganda at home and diplomacy
abroad which insults us at every
turn. We have seen this propa-
ganda carried on by a fifth column
in the United States whom few of
us could trust with anything"
