Attorney Says Mitchum

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. a. Actor
Robert Mitchum's attorney said to-

invitation to appear before grand
jury next week in its investigation
of the narcotics case in which he
and three others were involved.
The lawyer. Jerry Giesler. told
newSmen I'VE have not had time

cations surrounding some of the
strange angles. In order to be fair
to Mr.. Mitchum, we need concrete
facts rather than speculation
Mr.. Giesler added, 1T is unusual
to take this type of case before
the grand jury. Are the police doing
it because Mitchum has big

The grand jury is expected to in.
quire next Tuesday into the case
in which Mitchum and the others
were arrested at what police said

A broken water main under the

Lesson of Depression.
One of the big lessons taught by
. the depression was the need for
minimum wage and overtime legis-
lation. The Fair Labor Standards
Act met this need by placing a
floor under wages, a ceiling over
straight time hours and banning
oppressive child labor.
The Wagner-Peyser Act set up
nationwide system of free employ
ment Offices. Under its provisions
the United States Employment Serv-
ice made some 100000, 900 job place
ments without cost to worker or en-
ployer. OF the total number of
placements. about 100000 were
made during the war and 10000 900
since.
People who work for a living will
remember all this forward looking
legislation in their interest. But
they are not likely to forget the
Taft Hartley Act which the Repub-
lican-controlled Eightieth Congress
passed over the protests of the
American Federation of Labor, the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, the Independent unions and
brotherhoods and affiliated local and
international unions. Nor will they
forget the failure of the Congress
to pass needed legislation to combat
imitation and provide adequate houS-
ing for workers.
The Republican platform is afraid
to mention the Taft Hartley Act.
Democratic Platform.
But the Democratic platform,
which sets forth a definite labor
program point by point, says:
I'VE advocate repeal Of the Taft
Hartley Act. It was enacted by the
Republican Eightieth Congress over
the Presidents veto. That act was
proposed with the promise that it
would secure the legitimate rights
Of both employers and employees in
their relations affecting commerce.
1t has failed.
1--WE advocate such legislation as
is desirable to establish a just body
of rules to assure free and effective
collective bargaining, to determine,
