SHIPSTEAD HAS NEW DRAFT TO HELP STRIKERS I Introduces Bill to Guard Labor Against Unfair Injunctions. By ROSCOE B. FLEMING WASHINGTON. May 25—A.comprehensive bill designed to ciirb federal judges in the issuance on injunctions in labor disputes has been introduced by Senator Shipstead of Minnesota. The bill replaces the original Shipstead bill, which was found to be inadequate. It is based on information collected by the Senate Judiciary Committee during a two months’ inquiry into the abuse of injunctions. The subcommittee has approved it, and the full committee will consider it on Saturday. “Yellow Dogs’’ Outlawed The bill starts out with a declaration of policy which sets forth labor’s right to organize and bargain collectively. Then it proceeds to tell in detail under what circumstances injunctions may and may not be issued, and what procedure must be followed by the courts. It outlaws enforcement of socalled “Yellow Dog” contracts, by which a workman to obtain employment promises not to join a union, or to leave it if already a member. Courts are forbidden to issue injunctions to uphold such contracts. By forbidding courts to enjoin against them, the bill specifically protects men in their right to cease work singly or in concert, to collect and pay strike benefits, to avail themselves of legal advice, to give publicity to their grievances and to assemble peaceably. It grants the right of jury trial In all cases of indirect contempt, resulting from alleged violation of an injunction. Direct contempt may be

punished by the court as at present. It forbids courts to enjoin or prosecute strikers for conspiracy because they may act in concert. It declares that officials of labor organizations may not be held responsible for unlawful acts committed by organization members unless they actually planned, concurred in or ratified such acts. The bill also provides for immediate hearings upon applications for injunctions, provides that testimony must be taken in open court before a permanent stay is granted, and specifies that no temporary injunction may be issued for longer than five days. An immediate appeal must be allowed to higher courts if asked by any party to the controversy.

cording to a survey made by the Farm Journal, Philadelphia. In thirty-one States an increase was registered and seven others equalled in value the 1926 total. For the country as a whole the total values in 1927 were 64 per cent greater than for the average prewar years, 1910-14, the survey stated. Total value to American farmers of their crops and livestock during 1927 was given as $17,296,000,000 This is approximately $730,000,000 greater than the 1926 figure. Indiana’s total crop value for 1927 was given as $249,000,000. Livestock was given as $307,000,000 and the total farm products as $556,000,000. This is 98 per cent of the 1926 total The survey supports the prediction made six months ago by Eugene Meyer, commissioner of the

Federal Farm Loan Board, that farm products for 1927 would oe worth nearly a billion dollars more than those of 1926. South Dakota led all States in increased values, with a 43 per cent gain, according to the tabulation. lowa ranks first in total value of farm products, with $1,181,000,000, and in value of livestock with $615,000,000. Texas takes first place in value of crops, with $772,000,000, and second place in total value of farm products, with $1,117,000,009. Illinois maintained its 1926 total with $922,000,000; Wisconsin increased 3 per cent; Ohio dropped to 96 per cent, and Michigan to 98.
