ANTI-INJUNCTION LAW WILL BENEFIT LABOR New Pennsylvania Statute May Speed Similar Federal Legislation. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance HARRISBURG. Pa., June 12. Adoption by Pennsylvania of an anti-injunction law closely modeled on that which was considered by the United States senate in the last congress will do much to speed adoption of federal legislation at the next session, in the opinion of those who are fighting to curb use of injunctions in labor disputes. The new measure not only limits the use of injunctions in labor disputes,* but provides for jury trials in contempt of court cases. It sets forth explicity, for" the guidance of judges, labor’s right to bargain collectively and to picket peacefully. It provides that irreparable damage to life or property which the police can not or will not prevent must be threatened before an injunction is issued, and even then directs the court to deny an injunction to an employer who has refused to confer with his striking workers or who has used illegal methods in opposing strike activities.

RECOVERY SEEN SUREBYEDISON 'Been Done Before/ Says Famed Inventor. By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 12. —Thomas A. Edison, inventor, speaking by telephone from b.ls winter home at Ft. Myers, Fla., today told delegates to the National Electric Light Association convention that “I have seen history repeat itself again and again; I have seen depressions in business—always America has come out stronger and more prosperous.” His brief speech was amplified in the convention hall and broadcast over a national chain of NBC stations. The noted inventor was introduced by W. Alton Jones, president of the association, who compared Edison to Prometheus.

PUBLIC-OWNED ELECTRIC PLANT MEETSSUCCESS Utility Managed by Georgia Town Boasts Cheapest Rate in U. S. BY FOSTER EATON United Press Stiff Correspondent CORDELE, Ga., June 12.—Crisp county has launched a campaign to widen the availability of it* hydro-electric power plant to users of electricity. The plant has been in operation ten months and the. management of this Georgia county project declare that its success has far exceeded the fondest dreams. “We are operating here a demonstrated success,” Emmett S. Killebrew, designing engineer, said in a general discussion of the project. "We are grossing SIOO,OOO annual Income on our outlay of $1,250,000, sufficient to pay operating expenses, interest on bonds, and retire a part of the principal,” he said. The new campaign embraces eight weeks of national advertising to induce new industries to settle in this county tax free under certain conditions, to enjoy what Killebrew asserts is “the cheapest power rates in the United States.” The campaign also includes an effort to induce greater local use of electricity, especially for heating purposes. Competitors Losing Ground Compared with the annual gross income of SIOO,OOO which Killebrew said the plant is now producing, the Georgia Power Company, formerly dominant in this field, had a gross income of SBI,OOO in 1929, its best year. Today, however, its representatives admit the privately owned company’s revenue annually grosses only $7,000. There are about 1,050 users of electricity in Crisp county taking power from the publicly owned plant, “their own plant,” Killebrew said. Georgia Power Company in 1929 served 1,100 customers here, but that list has now shrunk to less than 150. To meet the competition of this county-owned plant, Georgia Power Company cut its rates below even the low rate of the new plant, but litigation now is pending by which the two rates in this county are to be similar, at the level of the county-owned plant, which was considerably below the prevailing Georgia power rate at the time it was first applied. Ends Fight for Lower Rate Completion of the plant last summer brought to a close a long fight for “lower power rates and financial independence for Crisp county” first opened by Charles E. Brown, late editor of the Cordele Dispatch, who died shortly before waters of the Flint river first were turned into the generators. Brown’s widow, carrying on in his stead, has become editor of the Dispatch and a leader in the continued prosecution of the “county power” project. First interest payments on the public bonds floated with which to construct the plant was met by a $60,0000 annual county tax levy, which, Killebrew said, ultimately will be discontinued. Stock Ticker an Oddity By United Press PHOENIX, Ariz., June 12.—An Arizona oddity was eliminated when a stock market ticker, the first in the history of Arizona, was installed by a Phoenix broker.
