Carolina Telephone Milestone

A significant milestone in the
progress Of Carolina Telephone
and Telegraph Company was
noted yesterday rs the 5O,OO0th
telephone OF the firm was in
stalled. Only five years ago, the
rapidly expanding company cele-
brated installation Of its l00,-
0O0th telephone and two years
ago installed its 125,0OOth tele-
phone.
Fittingly, the historic tele-
phone went into the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. West, Jr.,
who live some two miles north
east of Trenton in a roral area.
For It is in soch roral homes as
this that the company has been

Despite the phenomenal in

He said that in many IN

A graphic example of how
union management collision
works = and how occasionally
the workers revolt-was given
to the committee by Bertha
Nunez. q. a slim girl from
Tegucigalpa. Honduras.

trial Workers and then trans
ferred them en- masse to Local
1862 of the Teamsters union.
The terms of the union con-
tract with the employer
manufacturer of electrical
goods-appeared to be more
advantageous to the company
than to its $50 employees.
There was no job security
Miss Nunez said. and when
vacation time rolled around the
normal procedure was to fire
the worker rather than give
him time off with pay.

Senator O'Mahuney, who
took a leading part in the fight
for the jury trial amendment.
said the bill will now secure
and make more effective three
basic civil rights-the right to
vote. the right to trial by jury
in criminal cases. and the
right to serve on Federal
juries."
Senator Humphrey. Democrat

would have been more effec-

But Senator Douglas. Demo-

According to Committee
Counsel Robert F. Kennedy,
the reservation for Louis at the
Hotel Woodner was made by
one Barney Baker. described as
an ex-prizefighter and Team
sters Union organizer under
Harold Gibbons. the unions
! st. Louis (Mo.) boss.
Mr.. Kennedy said the Louis
bill had been sent to Donald
Peters of the Transfers Unions
warehouse division in Chicago.
A hotel spokesman said the bill
had not yet been paid.
Interested in Other Expenses
Mr.. Kennedy said the COM
mittee has more information
on other union expenses
around this period of time
which is of interest to u.s." He
declined to say what these ex-
penses were.
The Louis hotel bill. Mr.. Ken
nedy said. included certain
telephone calls and certain
other charges.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas. the committee
chairman. said he did not
know how much of the ex-
penses of the trial were paid
for by union funds. But he
added that the amount would
be "of interest to the COM

The jury trial amendment
began to gain strength when
Senators O'Mahoney of Wyom-
ing and Kefauver of Tennessee,
both Democrats, broadened it
to apply to criminal contempt
cases growing out of any law
in which the Federal Govern
ment uses the injunctive proc
ess.
Backed by Unions
This made it applicable to in
functions against labor unions,
and won the support Of the
Railroad Brotherhoods and of
John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers. The AFL-CIO stood
by its position for civil rights
bill without the jury trial
amendment.
Several days ago it appeared
that the administration still
held a slim margin of votes
against the jury amendment.
But the tide began to turn when
a bipartisan group headed by
youthful Senator Church. Dem
ocrat of Idaho. added another
provision to guarantee Negroes
the right to serve on juries in
Federal courts.
When the showdown came
shortly after midnight, IL Re-
publicans Joined 80 Democrats

Thirty-three Republicans and
nine Democrats voted against
the jury amendment. Only two
Senators were absent. They
were Senators Nicely. Democrat

would justify the action that
we took.

manning sections Of this bill
within a reasonable time. There
are still some issues to be con-
sidered. But l do not believe

considerable amount of time.

ing amendments relate to thu

set.u for the next two years tc
investigate complaints and de-
termine whether further legis-
lation is necessary.
The 81 to a. vote on the jury
trial amendment came at 1918
am.
/ Senator Russell. Democrat OF
| Georgia, leader of the Southern
/ opposition, held out the posi-
| bility that If a few more changes
are made in the bill, some of the
Southerners may vote for it.
4 The main feature Of the bill
is the authority it would confer
on the Attorney General to use
/ the injunction process in the
civil courts to enforce civil
rights.
The first major change was
to limit such injunctions to the
protection Of voting rights.
This was done by striking out
a section which would have
permitted their use to nwce
racial indignation In schools,
other public places.
Amendment HighIights
Here is what the jury trial
amendment would do:
! /. Require that persons ac-
cused of wilful disobedience of
injunctions obtained by the
United States under this bill or
any other Federal law be tried
from criminal contempt and
given the right of trial by jury.
2. Place a limit not to exceed
a 81 900 fine or not to exceed six
months in prison in such cases.
3. Preserve the right of Fed
eral judges to deal with civil
contempt in or near the court
without a Jury. 1t also would
enable judges to imprison de-
PENDANTS without a jury to Sc
cure compliance with the courts
order. as distinguished from
punishment for violations. In
such cases the defendant could
bring about his own release by
agreeing to comply with the
court order.
4. Insures all citizens. in

to serve on Federal juries re-

When the Senate reconvened

3. Require the Justice De-

Senator Knowland. who suf-
fered his second major defeat
when the jury trial amendment
was adopted. predicted the bill
probably is dead for this ses-
sion, because the House turned
down jury trial amendments.

But his pessimism was not
shared by all supporters Of the
bill. And even If conferees from
the two houses were not able
