Decay of Profanity Blamed On Gas Age in Indiana Case
NLRB Examiner Declares Muleskinner
Brought Cussing to Its Heights as an Art CHICAGO, Sept. 8 (UP)—S8wearing is a noble art that died a
sad death with the coming of the
gasoline engine, a National Labor
Relations Board trial examiner ruled today in a case involving a woman employee discharged for using cuss words. Examiner Louis Plost ordered Edna Ruggles reinstated in her job at The Indianapolis Glove Co., Marion, Ind., with back pay.
“Today, the words of imprecation, cursing and , blashphemy| survive in our speech shorn of
“their real meaning,” Mr. Plost said,
. “Time was when their use was a great art, reaching its noblest perfectiéh, both by word and inflection, among men whose lives were bound to beasts of burden. “In the armies of the past,.the cavalry man, the artillery man, but most of all the mule skinner, mastered the art and raised it to great heights. “But, alas, the coming of the gasoline efigine has removed the living spur to expressive, nomnblasphemous profanity until now
In the case involving unfair labor practice charges, Mr. Plost defended Miss Ruggles with the statement that “swearing does not, domie from a lack of moral sense. “Ruggles’ wulgar expressions 'which consisted of disrespectful references to the ancestry of an inanimate piece of machinery the use’ of the word ‘damned’ and the like were clearly imprecations which sprang from wvexation, impotence, annoyance, anger, frustration and spoken under sudden impulse and as such -weré not in any sense real blasphemy. . =” “Such language resulting from isuch cases is not intended to in
