However, putting kids in jail
wasn't Chief Nethken's way of teach
ing them to be law abiding citizens.

planned. A policeman just has to get
along with kids or he's not doing his

The chief, who is the first Oakland
officer to retire under city pension

500 reward coming for capturing a
negro who was wanted in EIkins, W.

That was way back in the early
days Of his policing, he said and
there was negro who cut a mans
throat in EIkins and then came to
Oakland to escape arrest. 1t wasn't
long before Nethken had a description
and found him in local hotel.

Court Holds Labor Has Right To Sell Its
Services On Any Conditions 1t Sees Fit

In a memorandum opinion hand
ed down by Superior Court Judge
Herbert c. Kaufman in the case of
Safeway Stores versus Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of North America, Local
Union No. 115, in San Francisco,
the judge stated that labor, under
cur law, has the right to sell its
labor on whatever terms and con-
ditionS it sees fit. It can sell its
labor on any days or hours it
chooses, and it follows labor may
refuse to sell its labor on specified
davs. I'm the contract under COR
sideration," reads the opini"n, '1a-
bor contracted to sell its labor six
days week, subject to Clause 80,
giving either party to the contract
the right on thirty days previous
written notice that a change was
desired in the contract dealing with
hours and wages
The decision followed the efforts
of the Safeway Stores to deprive
the union of its right to determine
the work period for its member
ship. The judge ruled that, accord
ing to the contract, the union had
the right, after reopening the con-
tract, to refuse thereafter to sell
its labor on any particular day OF
the week.
In regard to the charge that
the union has a closed shop mon
oply, the Judge stated that this is
not Illegal, for it is recognized by
our law, and added, 'It is true
that q union must exercise such
q monopoly in a reasonable. fash
ion." Citing the James VS.. Mar
inship Corporation case, the JUDGE
went on to say that it was held
that where q labor union has q
closed shop monopoly, it may not
discriminate against Negro work.
ers for the sole reason of race or
color, but that, in its decision, the
court did not in any wise hold
that such q monopoly takes
away the right Of a union or any
man to sell its or his labor on
any terms It or he may see tit.
The Supreme Court likewise af-
firms the right of the union to
use various forms of concerted
action, such as strikes, picEeting
or boycott, to enforce an Objec-
tive that is reasonably related to
any Ie"itimate interest of organ
lied labor.
In the opinion, the judge stated
further: "When a labor union en-
ters into contract respecting
hours and days of work it must
observe it's contract in such re-
SpectS.
"Here we find Union Local lie
relying on its contract to reopen
the question of hours and wages,
and giving the written thirty 600
day notice to the Plaintiff as re-
>ouired by said contract. This court
must interpret the plain language
of said contract to mean that days
of the week are covered in the
term hours and wages :"
This decision has cleared the ali
as far as the legal fights are con-
cerned, and reenforces the right OF
labor to determine how and under
what conditions it will work.
