Attors ney Rosenberg has before the State Supreme Court an appeal from a Superior Court decision that powers of attorney held by him for the pensioners were void, Mr. Rosenberg said he represented a group of pensioners from July 1 to Dec. 31, 1935, in an action to collect back pensions. Mr. Rosenberg said today: “I can not see which law was violated. These 465 pensioners came to me and employed me to help collect their back pensions after the county had refused to pay them. Some of the pensions were for a two-year period. “An honest effort to collect my fee is not ‘a crime. The way I feel now I think I will dismiss the case appealed to the Supreme Court and charge the whole thing to profit and loss.” 5 Attorney Tacoma stated: “Both Mr. Rosenberg and I welcome a grand jury investigation. The letter sent from my office was not the slightest violation of any law.”

be squarely in the line of fire. The ‘government is involved as never before — not even in the Homestead massacre of 1892 and the great 1919 steel strike—because of three New Deal measures. These are the Wagnor Labor Act, forbidding coercion ‘and intimidation by employers and the discharge of workers for union activities; a brand-new law forbidding interstate transportation of-strike breakers for purposes of interfering with peaceful picketing; and the La Follette civil liberties investigation which will inquire into the use of labor spies. \

Events Move Rapidly

Events moved rapidly today toward what some laper students foresaw as a possible climax by late summer, with many rumors of aggressive action being planned by the great steel companies to offset the 100 organizers sent into the field by John L. Lewis and his Committee for Industrial Organization. : Labor men professed to see "significance in the steel companies’ failure ta announce the results of the “company union” elections during June, in which they said many workers voted for John L. Lewis of the C. 1." O. as their bargaining agent. The presidential campaign implication came through a statement by Philip Murray, head of the C. I. 0s steel committee, who pointed out that part of the Iron and Steel Institute’s statement against the C. I. O. was identical with the Republican platform on labor. He also referred to the President’s “economic royalists” speech. The Republican platform, which favors protecting workers from coercion “from any source,” has been [interpreted editorially by Business Week, industry magazine, as opposition to the Wagner Act. This law forbids employers to coerce, intimidate or to discharge men for union activity.

‘Miners Have Agreements

~The steel, rubber, automobile and other industrial .ufions whieh “are being formed, will press for "closedshop agreements, if they follow the lead of the C. I. O. unions: which are pushing the new drive. : The United Mine Workers generally have. agreements, whereby no nonunion man can stay on the pay roll after a trial period, usually two months. The U. M.

lection of dues by employers from the pay rolls—in addition to the long-standing closed shop. In the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and the Ladies’ Garment Workers’ unions, also C. I. O. supporters, the unions for years had contracts for a “preferential shop” providing for hiring of union men if they were available and satisfactory. Under NRA’s impetus, nowever, most ~of the needle-frade unions won closed-shop contracts.

There is a possibility that the Iron and Steel Institute’s defense. of its “open shop” policy, indicating a 95 per cent solid front by steel employers, may solidify the ranks of labor and prevent the A. PF. of L. executive council, meeting here next week, from taking punitive action against the C. I. O. unions. The A. F. of L. chieftains have attacked the C. 1. O. for splitting labor, but they now ‘may be less likely to take positive action against it, according to belief - here: Meanwhile the Labor Relations Board, stopped by Federal courts in the Jones & Laughlin and other cases from action in the steel inductry, prepared to investigate the rubber industry’s revolt against union organization. Outbreaks in Gadsden, Ala. and Akron, Q.; were the "specific causes of the new inquiry. : The Labor Board won a minor victory in St. Louis: yesterday when Federal Judge Moore rejected an effort by the Chevrolet and Fisher Body ‘companies to stop its hearing today on charges that industrial spies and armed guatds have been employed there.
