Judge Grants Injunction.
Then Asks For Evidence

Austin, Tex. (LPA)-It would
seem silly to hang a man before
hearing the evidence, but it's liable
to happen in Texas.
Judge Belts Of the 9Sth District
Court here has issued a union-bust-
ing injunction and then appointed
a Master in Chancery to hear evid-
ence TO see if an injunction should
be issued. To the AFL Building and
Construction Trades in Austin,
Beaumont, and Houston, it sounds
like nails being driven into the cof-
fin Of Unionism.
The injunction was issued at the
request Of Brown & Root, Inc, a
IN u t i-nillion-dollar construction
firm. The company's suit accuses
the AFL, state and local AFL coun-
ellis, 10 building trades internation-
ais, and Ga local unions Of aiming
to monopolize the construction in
dustry and force B&R out Of bust
ness.
Herman Brown, company head
who helped push Texas anti-labor
laws through in 1947, estimates
that union picketing and unfair
lists have cost his company $9S,5OO
in cash plus thousands of dollars
he can't estimate.
The court was told these losses
date from Sept. 10, 1947, when the
state anti-union laws were passed.
The unions asked for dismissal of
the injunction. Here's what they
got:
Injunctions were issued against
the international unions involved,
despite the fact they had not been
served with notice to appear in
court and despite the fact none of
the union agents here are on inter
national payrolls.
Judge Belts overruled union re-
quests to permit legitimate picket
ing and to make the company post
bond. He then issued an order for
all the books, cancelled checks,
payrolls, lists of affiliated unions,
and convention proceedings Of the
unions involved. The checks and
payrolls were later knocked off the
list, but a request for Judge Belts
to discontinue his order restoring
the temporary injunction every ten
days was disapproved.
Finally, Master in Chanceryl
was appointed to gather testimony.
Paul c. Sparks, executive secre-
tary of the Texas State Federation
Of Labor, says "There has never
been a more effective strike-break-
ing technique devised than that
which would stop union men dead
in their tracks with an order while
allowing a court officer to roam the
state searching for justification for
such a restraint"

At the cottOn-rayon weaving con-
ference in Washington, more than
700 delegates from 474 mills, rep

In the last two months, workers
in the northern division have OBJ

LABOR DIRECTOR ASKS STATE
TO PASS WAGE-HOUR LAW

Montgomery, Ala. (LPA)-State
Labor Director r. R. Wade has
urged a state wage-hour law in his
annual report. Such a law was re-
commended five years ago by Gov.
Chauncey Sparks, but the legisla-
ture turned it down.
Other suggestions in Wade's an
nual report included a stronger
law to enable workers to collect
back wages, regulation Of private
employment agencies, five years
experience for field representatives
of the Labor Department, and the
taking over of mining and child
labor supervision by his depart
ment.

Des Moines, Iowa (LPA)-Pres-

meant undertaking risk that was
poorly calculated indeed.

tend, the Chinese Communists in
Korea are a consequence of con-
fusion in Washington. When con-
fusion is the guide, it is hardly
surprising that the emphasis is on
risk and not calculation"

There are additional issues in the
Korean muddle such as the coun-

Of the thousand and one post
election comments | have read
would like to single out that by
Joseph D. keenan,, director of AFL
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation, for special praise and COM
mendation. Said Brother keenan,:
Zone lesson that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has
learned is that labor cannot
depend on the daily press to
present the facts and that the
labor press and other means
will have to be expanded to get
the facts to the working peo-
pie"
Let's hope that Keenan's obser-
vation will be needed. Union poll
tical funds, instead of being poured
into radio and other nonlabor chan
nels, should go first to the union
press as American labor's banner
bearer and first line of defense.

The latest phase Of the Korean
crisis, with its sharp military set
back and attendant political confu-
sion, found our government and
army high command evidently un-
prepared. That does not speak well
for the political acumen and stra-
tegic foresight of the leadership in
Washington, Tokyo, and on the
spot in Korea. Nor does it augur
well for our ability to handle an
emergency that may suddenly arise
and which, unlike the Korean chal-
lenge, is likely to deal staggering
blow to the preparedness and
strength of the nation.
\ = X
With these thoughts in mind, the
writer came across an editorial, en-
titled "Uncalculated Risk" in the
Wall Street Journal. And what the
Journal, supposedly the mortal foe
of organized labor, had to say on
the subject was so cogent and to
the point that | thought it only fit
ting to make it available to the
union leadership in this space. So
here goes:
"When the United States de-
cided to chase the Korean
Communists north of the 38th
parallel, it was done, we were
told, as a calculated risk. The
risk, of course, was the Chinese
Communists or the Russians
themselves would do something
about it. The calculation was
that they would not.
4 \ \
"Now that our soldiers are fight
ing Chinese Communists in North
Korea and the Peiping government
is recruiting more Chinese 'volun-
teers,' it is perhaps pertinent to
inquire on what the risk was cal
culated.
"While the US. and the United
Nations were hemming and haw-
ing over the question whether to
cross the 38th parallel or not to
cross, the Chinese Communists
warned that they would not sit
idly by if the parallel were crossed.
This was generally regarded as sol
much hot red air.
"Yet why should it have been
that the Chinese would
do nothing? Would the United
States do nothing if an unfriendlyl
host were marching up through
with the clear intention of
parking on the American border?
A nations normal reaction to the
spectacle of forces converging on
its borders is to do something.

'Tn any case, the risk did ma
terialize and the calculation prov
ed erroneous. We would not COM
plain so much about sthis-even
though it means this country faces
the very real prospect of full-scale
war with Communist China-were
it not for the fact that the calcu-
lated risk was taken in an atmos-
phere of defense confusion.
"There is no question that was a
painful dilemma involved in the
of the 3Sth parallel. Not

solving the Korean problem; to
cross meant the danger of Chinese

whether they were weighed or not,
neither was chosen; it was only
when decision could no longer be

 In an epidemic of infections, such as scarlet fever, disease caused by the streptococcus, Dr. King said from 5 to IS percent of the pa- tients will develop rheumatic fever. And the recurrence of a strepto- coccic infection after, the victim has been treated, or during treatment for rheumatic fever. can bring on a reactivation of the rheumatic fever and thereby increase the dam age to the heart"
 Children are Treated

SOUTH OF 5T. LOUIS EXCITING COLOR FILM E AT 10TH CENTURY

An action damned historical ad- venture yarn set in the lawless per- iod of the southwest following the War Between the States, South of St. Louis," filmed in Technicolor, comes to the Gross 20th Century screen tonight headed by a four star cast including Joel McCrea, Alexis Smith, Zachary Scott and Dorothy Malone.
 South of St. Louis was the mo- mans land of the Civil War. It was that vast area of Texas and the southwest in which, for the most part, the war was fought on guerilla basis, although there were organized army groups on both sides. The film depicts the taut, personal drama of three hard-rid- ing men of the range, set against the violent background of the open spaces. Smuggling was rampant then and the reckless tempo of the UldQc lllC CACltll6 oiiS ahAA gerous.
 McCrea plays Kip Davis whose purpose in the lusty tale is to re- store the ranching land burned and pillaged by guerillas in union hire. Miss Smith departs from her usual roles to that of flamboyant enter tainer of the old west. AS Rouge de Lisle, this beautiful blonde star dis plays a completely new side to her talents. Zachary Scott plays cow boy, not exactly a new role, as he halls from Texas and spent many of his younger years on ranch. Miss Malone, completing the roster of stars, is cast as Deborah. who is loved by McCrea but who loves an- other.

 KINGS DISCOVERY
Rheumatic Fever, Rheu- mdti( Heart Disease Are
 Greater than Suspected

There is more rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease in Alaska than has been found or even suspected, according to pr. Robert L. King of the Mason Clinic Tn Seattle who is consultant in cardl- ology to the Alaska Department of Health. Dr. King said he was passing his opinion both on his observations at the Chronic Disease Unit here this week and on his work with Ala skan patients in Seattle.
 Alaska Is Combatant
 "At the same time" he said, Alaska is further ahead than many of the states in combating the di- sease. Much progress has been made in the Chronic Disease Units one year of existence and the work should certainly be continued and facilities expanded" Some of the states, he commented, have not made even a beginning in efforts to control rheumatic heart disease.
 He pointed out that heart disease of all kinds is responsible for 50 per- cent of the deaths in the nation and of these 30 percent are from rheumatic fever.
 Health Problem

orthopedic surgeon for the Alaska Department of Health.
 The first clinic will be held No vember 30 at Anchorage, Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, commissioner of health, announced upon his return here today from New York where he conferred with officers of the National Infantile Paralysis Found- ation.
 Dr. Moore will make recommend ations for care and followup treat ment where such is advisable, and if necessary, home or hospital care will be financed by the NFIP, Dr. Albrecht stated. Hospitalization, where indicated, will be arranged for in hospitals in the States since no hospital facility can be obtained within Alaska, he explained.
 Following the polio evaluation clinic at Anchorage, one is to be held at Fairbanks about December 2 according to the tentative sched- ule, with the Ketchikan clinic to follow upon Dr. Moore's return from the Interior. A physical ther- apist is also to be in attendance at the clinics.
 Dr. Albrecht said that Health De- partment funds will be used to assist in travel expenses of polio myelitis patients in outlying areas who attend the clinics. There have been 57 cases of the disease reported in Alaska since August 10 of which 45 were in the Interior and 12 in Southeastern. There were seven deaths.
 While in the States, Dr. Al brecht attended the Alaska Science Conference at Washington, D. c. and was chairman of the Public Health and Medicine section. He reported keen and stimulating in- terest among the several hundred scientists from Alaska, Canada and the states who participated in the three-day conference whose ses- {, sions dealt with all scientific phases of life and work in the Arctic re- gions.
 AS Alaska's commissioner or health, he attended the annual meeting in Washington October 2a of the Association of State and Territorial health officers. and also the annual meeting of the Ameri- can Public Health Association ln St. Louis, at both of which ne said he felt he had accomplished a great deal for the advancement of Alaska's health program.

 Judge Harris said Bridges status would remain that of a citizer while the appeal is before the courts.
 Bridges appeal from his convic- ton of perjury, based on his Com- munist disavowal at the hearing which resulted in his naturaliza- tion Sept. IT, 1945, also is pending That appeal has held up the ex- ecution of the sentence-five years in prison.
