Liability of Freezing In Transit
Our Supreme Court has recently
decided the case of Lavagetto VS..
Railway Express Agency Inc,
Cause No. 30es6. 1t involved the
question of the liability of public
carrier for damage in transit
caused by freezing weather.
The plaintiff, Angelo Lavagetto,
shipped IL boxes of azalea plants
from Lynden. Washington to Spo-
kane, Washington through the
Railway Express Agency, Inc.
The plants were RECEIVED in Lyn-
den on Thursday, October oath
and were delivered in Spokane on
Monday, October 2sth. The plain
tiff Immediately opened the boxes
and discovered that the plants
were frozen.
The plaintiff alleged that the
freezing of the plants was the
result of carelessness and negli-
gence on the part of the defendant
in failing to protect the plants
from cold during shipment and he
demanded judgment for approx
mately $4,000.
The defendant alleged that If the
plants were damaged in transit
such damage was incident to the
ordinary risks of transportation
which risks were assumed by the
plaintiff.
There was no dispute as to the
facts. The IL boxes of azeleas
were delivered to the transit com
pany at Lynden in good condition
and were properly packed. On eacf
box appeared the following stencil
Rush, Perishable, Keep from
Frost and Heat"
At the time of the shipment a
Lynden the temperature was owe
40 degrees. During October 27tl
TIE temperature at Spokane was a
low as "a degrees above zero. A
the exact time of the delivery o
the azealeas to the plaintiff i,
Spokane the temperature was 4
degrees. The plaintiff inmediatet
unpacked the plants and discov
cred that they had been froze
and Immediately notified the Elk
lpress company OF that fact.
| The court held that the dut
rested upon the Express Compan
to protect the plants from freeing
from the time it received the ship
ment untn the time that it de
| livered it. To have protected tn
plants from freezing, said tn
court, it would have been neces
sary only to have kept them in
| place where the temperature wa
above 81 degrees. The fact tina
the plants were delivered in
frozen condition is sufficient proc
to Indicate that the Express Com
pany did not adequately provid
against freezing.
The plaintiff was therefore en-
/ titled to recover the full amour
of his loss.

Three Years Of Tuft-HurtleYism

The Taft Hartley law entered upon its fourth year on
June "a. For however, anniversary euogleS
were fewer and less flowery this year.
If it's supporters "dwet with pride upon It's union
curbng achievements they obliged nevertheless to
admit that national emergency section which, after ALL
treason for being had broken down completely
in the coa-wage controversy last winter.
Nor could they, despite their talk of it's "equazng
effect" deny that the laws nuncve provisions had been
invoked almost entirely in behalf of employers. Because
the figures speak eoquently of this fact.
Of total of 78 nunctons started by the general coun-
sci in the first three years of TafHarteysm only were
against employers; all of the remaining 76 were against
labor unions.
AS for the unonshop election provisions, Mr. Denham
has made mockery of them. Not only has he exempted
from these provisions his cronies in the building trades
but he has, in doing defied the fveman board which
refused to condone the general counsels action.
Nor has this been the only of conflict between
Gear Denhan and the board. Even sorry the
spectacle of Denham at budingtrades employers dinner
in New York last winter publicly inviting the employers to
use the courts as vehicle for crcumVentng decisions of
the board that he pledged to defend.
Proponents of the law, OF course still are advancing
the claim that it's anCommunst affidavit provision has
helped cean out the Reds from influential union positions
That claim may carry weight outside the Labor Movement
'he Reds confined to comparatively few unions like
own, neither have, nor tolerate, Reds"
Oddly enough if analyze the claims of these Taft
Hartley proponents in the light of three years expert
poyers they tell generally satisfied with the law
But this true? Is true of the employer who wants stable
labor relations in his plant and who has learned that the
Tat-Hartey law by ptng union against union makes for
rading and consequently labor strife? We doubt it.
On point employers well as workers will agree:
Namely that the law has drawn the Government deeper
than into abor-management relations But most
poyers and most workers will likewise agree that this is
out the solution to their problems far better without the
burdensome restrictions of Government red tape.

We Suggest You Keep These Figures

Next time you hear say "Far Deal Socialism
running business tell him that's the bunk and prove it
with these official figures:
The met working capital of all American corporations
nearly doubled from 1868 billion in 1912 record peak
of 500 billion at the end of March this year.
"Net working capital is the corporations total cash
and other current assets minus the money they In
other words it is their liquid wealth. counting the
value of their plants and equipment.
In just the first three months this year. the met
capital increased by $3 billion. In the period the
corporations put $34 billion of their profits into plants
and equipment, after paying fat dividends
Thus, under the terrible Truman Administration,
corporations boosted their cash and other possessions by
total of SAT- bionn just the last three months for which
figures are available.

DuplicitY

Since trainers of the Taft Hartley Act told the lawyer
for the Labor Board that he doesn't have to take orders from
his employer there has been growing confusion and
flict between the Board and its General Counsel.
Latest example of what happen under a bad law
is the action of General Counsel Robert n Denham esab
fishing his publicity office in competition with Labor
Boards information division
First publicity release to be issued by the General Coun
sells publicity Statistical Summary Of the Labor
Boards activity Much Of Denhams statistical report
exact duplication of the Boards regular report Some
paragraphs copied word for word from the Boards
report However just spread confusion Denham chang
ed the figures by covering slightly different period Now
there two sets of facts well two bills to- the
payer for Labor Board publicity.
Senator Taft doesn't mind this waste so long it hurts
labor relations.
