Police Union Would Benefit This City

PORTLAND, Ore.-(FP)-So few applicants showed up to take a police exam here that it had to be postponed. With a monthly salary minimum of $z4O, it's more profitable to be ditch digger than to wear a policeman's badge in Portland, Furthermore, the departments lavish use of lead and teargas against strikers in the past, under orders from the top, has made Its record so unsavory that even the o-year-oldS no longer wanna grow up and be cop"

 CHICAGO LIBERAL"
 There are some highly exclusive clubs in the good old USA-and one of these is the American News. paper Publishers Assn.
 All you need to enter its portals is bushel basket and a certificate testifying to the fact that you own a newspaper.
 And once you're in, the ssboys'' who run America's newspapers will take good care of you.
 For instance: we've been looking. but we haven't yet spotted a story in the many newspapers we read, on the purpOrted use of professional labor spies by the ''liberal'' Chicago publisher, Marshall Field, owner of the Sun and Times in that city. Here's the picture.
 If you've been reading the pa. pers, you know that Chicago's typos, members of Local 16, Intl. Typographical Union (AFL) have been out on strike for some time in protest against the offer of Chicago publishers to give only an open shop contract.
 Field, the union charges, has added new wrinkle to the tactics of the publishers by placing labor spies in the offices of his newspa- pers. Lashing out at the publisher for joining with the others and cut ting loose from his previous liberal convictions, Local l6 declared that now his reputation has suffered further with the disclosure that his company has engaged a detective agency tol spy on members of other unions still working in the Sun and Times plant"
 These detectives, the local indi. cates, are spying on workers to see if they're giving any sort of aid to the striking typos.
 But Field is pretty safe from the glare of public indignation. His brothers" in the ANPA won't give him away.
 TAFT TALK: Price control is Fundamentally the wrong an. prOach" to fighting high prices. ac- cording to Sen. Taft. ssYou increase demand by lowering prices, and you decrease supply"
 Just the same, we'd like to try it for a while, if only for old times sake.
 It's been ages since we've seen a low price.
 OUR DAILY PRESS
 The New York Daily News, Amer ica's largest newspaper, didn't like a recent suggestion by Pres. Robert Hutchins of the University of Chi. cagO that the press ought to set up an outside independent agency to criticize and evaluate the press. And so they went to town on him edito. rially.
 After taking some slams at the professor" the News said that after the American people ''evaluate and criticize the press, and they regis ter their opinions in the most em. phatic way possible by buying pa. pers they like and not buying pa. pers they don't like.''

Federal judge Walter LaBuy
will rule here Jan. IA on whether
Pres. James c. Petri1lo of the
American Federation of Musicians
AFD willfully violated the Lea
act in calling strike against
WAAF because it refused to en-
ploy three musicians. The station
contends the men were not needed.
U. S. Atty. Otto Kerner jr., in
his closing argument, demanded
a $1,000 fine, a year in Jail, or
both, for Petri1lo. The labor
leaders attorney, Daniel D. Car
nell, argued that the Lea act is
unconstitutional and that Petrillo's
violation, if any, was not willful.

was based was called May %,

THIS was the man who

Did he know in advance that

Perhaps he did; more likely
he did not. But it is incon-

knew that Copley would not
disapprove of it.
Copley died Nov. q. but his
family still controls his news
papers. And his death did not
remove a further threat: that
other Copley newspapers, in
Guiding those in Illinois, may
resort to the same terror tao
tics which Burkheimer used to
destroy opposition to their re-

The term nationalist is now

When the election returns
were in, Smith had won cleo

fused to seat him. Gov. Len
Small appointed Smith to the

refused to accept him as a

In 1896, when "Sunflower

where he stood by contributing

fifth largest contributor in the
nation, ranking just behind the

magnate, the Rockefel1ers, and
the Melons.

cording TO George Seldes' new

WHY didn't ChicagO's daily
w newspapers tell the full
story of the American Legion
raid on a Democratic Party
meeting at Glendale, Calf?
Was d because a powerful
Illinois business mana Re-
publican overlord-was in
volved?
Only the daily press can an
swer those questions, and the
press would rather forget about
that raid.
The Chicago Star, however,
has been able to dig out some
of the facts behind the raid, an
amazing story involving some
of the most powerful figures in
American life, including the
fabulous DUPONT family, Col.
Robert r. Mccormick, and
others.
=
THE FACTS indicate that
similar storm trooper raids may
be a danger in other cities, IN
Guiding several IN Illinois.
The story of the raid seemed
to have been told Dec. "a, when
an American Legion post COM
mander, IL other Legionnaires,
and a newspaper publisher
were convicted of staging the
raid on a Democratic Party
club meeting Nov. IA.
The group was accused Of
entering a Glendale h m e,
where the meeting was going
on, and forcing the Democrats
to leave the place under threat
of violence.
THEIR excuse later was that
they thought the meeting was
called by the Progressive Citi-
zens of America.
The newspaper publisher,
who was sentenced to a $3.50
fine or 125 days IN jail, was
