There's a line at the heading of
the Woman's Column in my paper
that reads:
"Women through the years have
stood Keepers of the fame 80"
Pretty easy to see what it means;
whether it's the flame on the hearth,
or the candle in the window, or
the feeling of warmth that sur
rounds a home.
It's the women who are guardians
of the things we cherish about
homelife-who are tolerant of
ashes on the rug; the rings a glass
of beer can leave on tables; or the

From where I sit, those little

MISTAKE SAYS
GREEN

President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor an.
nounced that the AFL will undertake
an immediate drive for the repeal of
the new anti labor law. He said.
Congress has made a tragic mis-
take by enacting the Taft-Hartley bill
over the Presidents veto.
THE new law will not promote in.
dustrial peace. On the contrary, !.
will force widespread warfare.
The consequences are likely TO be
heavy and costly in terms Of reduced
production. The chaotic conditions
produced by the Taft-Hartley act will
endanger our national economy.
Labor will never become reconciled
to this law. The free working mer
and women of our country will never
acquiesce in the abridgment of their
fundamental rights and freedoms.
THE American Federation OF Labor
will launch an immediate campaign
for the prompt repeal of the Taft
Hartley act. We believe that the Law
will prove such a boomerang that it.

additional votes needed to uphold his

AS a matter of fact, it should be
recorded at once that Barley and
Democratic National Chairman Gael
Sullivan telephoned Senator Ebert
Thomas Cd, Utah) at Geneva, Switzer-
land, advising him not to return to
Washington for the vote. At that time
the two Democratic leaders reported
that the ~Taft-Hartley bill would be en-
acted with four votes to spare.
Actually. the count was six votes to
spare with sever needed to kill the
legislation.
Since this telephone call one of
seven to Thomas by labor representa-

vote--it cannot be said that the Tru.

guilty or muf0ef because, un-
defended by counsel, he didnot
take the stand to defend him
self, the issue was whether a
state could hold that fact
against him as evidence of
guilt.
Black held that the matter went
to the fundamental meaning OF the
Fourteenth amendment to the us.
constitution which specifies that no
state may deprive a citizen Of life,
liberty or property without due proc
ess of law. The right to refuse to
testify against oneself, or for that
matter any Of the rights guaranteed
by the Bill of Rights. said Black,
may not be abridged by a state under
the guise of due process
Speaking eXtemporaneously with
obvious deep emotion, Black went on
to comment that the Y. S. supreme
court had built up a dangerous prac-
tice Of upholding some state legal
practices and laws which seemed to a
majority of the court at a particular
time to concur with their idea Of 'civ.
ilized standards" "canons of decency'
and fundamental iustice'-and to out
law others which did not.
He urged that in all cases the test
should be whether the state guaran-
teed all its citizens the full Bill of
Rights, which the Fourteenth amend
ment was written and enacted to in
sure. With his opinion he filed a 80
page appendix giving, the history OF
the drawing up and passage OF this
amendment, which he said the court
had neglected for years to observe.
The recent pattern, he commented,
had been to invoke the Fourteenth
amendment 70 th~ow out social legis
lation in the states benefitifg work
ers and the public on the ground that
such laws interfered with so-called
natural rights" Of property owners
In contrast, state laws (as in the
