Congressman Edward Breen,

district last fall, on three major
pieces of legislation has voted
exactly as Jack Knoll and lbs
Ohio C. I. O. Council wanted
him to vote. The Council repre-

Breen cast the proper vote on
the Taft-Hartley repeal, the
Brannan Farm plan and on
Public housing. The Brannan plan
which was defeated was the adj
ministration farm which would
have provided subsidies to farm
ers in order to stabilize farm

big business.

his predecessor. He made a fine
gesture in advising the mayor

UNEMPLOYMENT:
Sudden Increase

SoooSu IuSISOSS
Whatever its significance, many
economists were expressing con-
Germ over a sudden upswing in the
number of unemployed in the ma
ton.
BETWEEN April and May, the
number of US. jobless had in
creased by 273,OOO to bring the
totally unemployed to a probable
postwar high of more than 3.25
million. These figures were re-
leased by the federal bureau of
the census.
The rise in the unemployment fig
ure at time when it usually drops
might be attributed, the bureau
said, to the sudden rush of students
for summer or permanent jobs.
The bureau did say that two-thirds
OF the increase in unemployment
could be traced to young persons
OF high school and college age"
AT the same time, the bureau re-
ported, total unemployment was
rising, principally as result of
seasonal activity on farms.
Despite the conflicting reports,
there were some among the coun-
try's industrial and economic lead
ers who feared the unemployment
situation might grow worse before
getting any better.

Usher and lawyer. He has been

ton of Kenneth c. Royal on April
q.
Gray, born in Baltimore, is not
an army career man. But he
served three years in the army, en-
listing as a buck private in 1912.
But he had something on the ball
then, and rose to captain with the
18th army group in Europe.
THE new secretary would be the
governments youngest head of an
executive department. For the past
16 months Gray has been the army
official responsible for the indus

JOHN L. LEWIS:
A Severe Blow

A Severe Blow
A federal district court of appeals
dealt a heavy blow at John L.
Lewis and his United Mine Work
ers. Lewis and his union, found
guilty of contempt of court for fail
ing to call off the 1913 coal strike,
had been fined 81, APO, 1000.
They appealed. The higher court
upheld the finding and indications
were that Lewis and his attorneys
would lose no time appealing to the
United States supreme court for a
final decision.
THE CASE grew out of Lewis
defiance of the Taft-Hartley law
last year for ignoring a court order
issued under the law that directed
the miners to call off a month-old
strike in the soft coal fields.
The district appeals court ruling
made it clear that the decision was
based on the fact that Lewis and
the miners waited until the de-
mands were met before finally call
ing off the strike when they had
been previously directed by the
court to do so.
Justice E. Barrett Prettyman
said on behalf of the court:
THE SUPREME COURT (has)
held involving these same ap-
pellants, that he who fails to obey
court order . is punishable for
criminal contempt. That decision
governs us here"
The supreme court already had
upheld the conviction of Lewis and
his miners for defying a similar
court order in the 1916 coal strike.
It was that ruling to which Judge
Prettyman referred.
