Proposed Bill Alarms Coast Labor Leaders

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

‘SEATTLE, July 28.—An antilabor vigilante movement is active along the Pacific Coast. Labor finds itself weakened in combating it because of the con-

tinued bitter split between. C. I. O. and A. F. of L. It boils over openly in such incidents as the recent expulsion of a thousand C. I. O. members and families from Westwood, Cal, and in frequent use of repressive measures against labor organizers in agricultural areas such as the Yakima Valley in this state. Behind the- scenes it operates through such organizations as Associated Farmers which, though represented as merely a farmers’ group, is claimed by labor to be sponsored by powerful banking, industrial and business interests to check unionism and to prevent the spread of unions to agricultural workers. The antilabor movement exerts its influence in other quiet ways—in local as well as state-wide organization of businessmen to- combat unionization through business pres-

‘sures; in local anti-picketing ordi-

nances which have multiplied along the Pacific Coast recently, especially in the smaller cities.

Proposed Bill Alarms Labor

Associated Farmers has become strongly entrenched in California, Oregon and Washington and is

- branching eastward.

Suddenly it has shown its teeth in a legislative threat that is causing alarm in labor ranks. This is so-called Initiative No. 130, a proposed bill which already has received enough signatures in this

state to go on the November ballot, and also is being pushed for a place on the ballot in California. Sponsored by the Associated Farmers and by organizations known, respectively, as Women of Washington and Women of California it is an antistrike measure. Briefly, the bill provides that there can be no legal labor dispute unless a majority of employees working for a concern and belonging to a union vote in an ‘election conducted by the county auditor, Sets Negotiation Period But, before such a vote can be taken, negotiations must be conducted for 30 days in the effort to

reach a settlement. The union at the outset, before the 30-day negotiating period, must present its demands in writing upon the employer. During: the 30-day negotiating period, the proposed act would make it unlawful “for any person to advertise, speak, patrol or post patrols in, on or near the premises or property owned, occupied, .controlled or used -by any person, for the purpose of obtaining or communicating information regarding any controversy with said person or persuading or Inducing any person to work or abstain from working or obstructing the approach to said premises or property. or egress therefrom.” This, labor argues, would outlaw the long legalized right of picketing and suppress freedom of speech and press.

the Council arrived at iis estimate of the number of lives saved. The Council said that should the same percentage of decline continue through the last six months of che year the number of 1938 deaths would be the lowest since 1928, with a total saving of 8700 lives. The council credited city and state sponsored safety campaigns for the drop in fatalities, which decreased despite a 2 per cent increas in automobile travel, Joe The decrease began last November and continued unbroken through June, when 2270 deaths were reported—24 per cent fewer than in June 1937. From Jan. 1 to July 1 this year, Pennsylvania led the states and Detroit the cities in number of lives saved. Pennsylvania’s fatalities were 42 per cent fewer than for the first six months in 1937—a saving of 483 lives. Detroit saved 91 lives.

Hopkins, WPA chief, had not overstepped his position with a press conference remark that 90 per cent of all relief workers probably would vote for President Roosevelt, the committee:

1. Requested a postal inspector’s inquiry of alleged misuse of the franking privilege in South Dakota the Farm Security Administration, 2. Sent an investigator to California to study charges that Federal employees are being assessed 5 per cent of their salaries to finance the campaign of Senator McAdoo. 3. Ordered an investigator back to Kentucky to get further information on activities of State organiza-, tions handling Federal funds. 4. Sent an investigator back to Pennsylvania for further investigations of the charge by Bernard Davidowitz, head of the.Royal Oak Party, that Republicans were plotting to buy the general election.

McKellar Denies

Coercion Charge MEMPHIS, Tenn. July 28 (U. P.).—Senator McKellar (D.

said. The senior Senator is supporting Tom Stewart, who seeks the®Democratie nomination for the Senate in opposition to George L. Berry, incumbent, Mr. Stewart is also supported by the City and Shelby County machine of E. H. Crump. Senator McKellar’'s comment fol-

lowed the charge by the Senate ‘Committee that ‘‘apparently every "scheme and questionable device that can be used in a political contest to raise funds to influence votes and control the election result is in full swing.”
