PUSH FIGHT ON LABOR DISPUTE BILL CHANGES Noted Attorneys Say Hebert Substitute Benefit Only to Employers. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Two noted attorneys charged today that employers would benefit, instead of working men, if the Hebert substitute for the Norris-La Guardia anti-injunction bill should be adopted in the senate. Donald Richberg, attorney for the railway employes' organizations, declared that in his opinidn “the purpose of the substitute is to extend the power of employer organizations to combine regardless of the anti-trust acts.” He referred to phraseology throughout the substitute which provides that both the employer and employe shall have full freedom of association, self-organiza-tion and designation of representatives, and other privileges which the original bill gives only to working men. Several senators previously had suggested that the Hebert substitute might accomplish the modification of the anti-trust laws which business has been advocating for the past year. Substitute Is Attached The second attack on the substitute was made by J. S. Easbysmith, attorney for the American Federation of Labor, who declared that “the substitutes have been prepared carefully and shrewdly for the express purpose of destroying many of ihe essential features of the senate bill as reported, and to so change many of the provisions as to make the bill a statement of the several provisions of the Clayton act as they have been construed and applied by the federal courts. “In other words, my opinion Is that if this substitute were to prevail it would, in large part, legally ratify the decisions of the courts, land would leave labor in the same Situation it is today." Hebert was under fire from half p dozen of the senate’s leading constitutional lawyers when he attempted to explain his substitute Thursday, particularly as to the extent to which his measure would afford protection against yellow dog contracts. Hebert Defends Proposal Hebert said that while the NorrisLa Guardia bill would deny all legal rights under yellow dog contracts, his bill would deny equitable rights only. Speaking for the Norris-La Guardia bill later in the day, Senator Thomas Walsh (Dem., Mont.) declared that a perfect analogy exists between laws already in existence forbidding usurious contracts and the proposed law to forbid yellow dog contracts. The former have been upheld by the courts, he pointed out, on the theory that they take undue advantage of a man’s necessity. He cited numerous instances to show the widespread existence of yellow dog contracts and declared that if their use becomes general, no labor unions could exist, in spite of the fact that the supreme court has declared unions necessary for the protection of labor. Appears Before House Group Appearing before the house judiciary committee where Repreresentative Fioeillo La Guardia (Rep., N. Y.) is seeking favorable action on the anti-injunction bill, Richberg declai and that instead of proposing new and radical measures, the bill would bring back to American courts ancient traditions of justice. He pointed out that in the Original judiciary bill, written soon after creation of the United States, $t was provided that no injunction Should be issued without notice, and that the provision in La Guardia’s bill to limit the effect of restraining orders to five days is only a first step back toward this principle. ♦

POLICE PROBE TWO SLUGGINGS Physician and Contractor Are Victims. Slugging of two men, one a physician and the other an electrical contractor, under mysterious circumstances early today are being investigated by detectives. The physician, Dr. T. C. Waltermeier, 50, of 4045 Graceland avenue, was treated at city hospital for a severe scalp wound after police were called to the home and found Dr. Waltermeier had been slugged on the head with a heavy instrument. Dr. Waltermeier said he answered a summons at the door about 2 a. m. and that a man entered and began beating him. The assailant robbed him of $lO, he said. A blood-stained medical instrument, believed to have been used by the assailant, was found in the house. Miss Marie Winningham, 31, of 301 East North street, Apartment 1, nurse in the employ of Dr. Waltermeier, was arrrested on a charge of vagrancy and held under bond of $2,000. Jess Whitesett, 49, of 838 Wright street, electrical contractor, was at liberty under bond today on a charge of drunkenness, after police found him unconscious in a vacant house at 546 West Pearl street. He had been slugged on the head and bore a large sclap wound, police said. After treatment at the hospital, he was slated at headquarters and was released on bond. BILLFOR FULL BONUS PAYMENT IS DRAFTED Measure Would Put $2,400,000,000 in Circulation, Author Says. Bn Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance Washington, Feb, 26.—Exservice men would receive cash payment of approximately $2,400,000,000 in settlement of the balance due them under the bonus acts, if a bill to be presented soon by Senator Elmer Thomas (Dem., Okla.) becomes law. Thomas believes distribution of cash to war veterans would do more to relieve the depression than any other thing. In his opinion, the billion and a quarter distributed in the form of bonus loans last year averted an economic catastrophe far more serious than the country now is undergoing.
