SHPYARDS FIGHT SHETS T0COURT Supreme Court Justice Threatens Maximum Penal- ty on Anti-Picket Order. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 17.—Action in New York's labor battles shifted to- day from strike-besieged shipyards to the courts and police stations. Roused by what he called continued disregard of his injunction against picketing at the Wheeler Shipyard in Brooklyn, Supreme Court Justice Lewis Fawcett threatened the maximum pun- ishment to any one else convicted of | violating the order. The first and only man convicted, Bidney Sandnes, a C. I. O. organizer. Wwas freed from the civil jail, where he | was sentenced yesterday to serve 30 days, on a habeas corpus writ signed | today by Supreme Court Justice Fer- | dinand Pecora. Bill was set at $50. Condemning Fawcett's order as a strike-breaking maneuver, the union extended its protest against legel ac- tion with a statement charging police with “a brutal attack” on pickets at the Robins Dry Dock & Repair Co. yesterday. | “Is New York under your adminis- tration to become another South Chi- €ago?” John Green. national president of the Industrial Union Marine and | 8hipbuilding Workers, Mayor F. H. La Guardia The union planned to follow up tion of 2,000 strikers and sympathizers at the Summer City Hall Monday. In the bloodiest battle of the | month-old strike at the Robins plant | Vesterday, five strikers and three | policemen were injured and nine| pickets were arrested for disorderly | conduct. Green said the police action | Was “‘unprovoked.” | As rock-throwing and epithet-hurl- | ing continued along the strike front, | arrested near | two more men were the Robins yard today: William Dren- nan. 36, a striker, and Frank Mur- Tay, 33, a seaman-sympathizer.

Leaders of both sides conceded pri- vately that the vote would be close, unless an unexpected swing one way or the other develops before the funeral barty returns to Washington Monday. The leadership election was regarded | #s a partial test of strength in the | court fight, since Senators opposing the President’s bill have lined up al- most solidly for Harrison. ey was counting on the support of administration &Toup of young first-term Senators, most of whom favor the court bill. Opposition leaders indicated that it Harrison was chosen leader they | might abandon their plans for a filibuster and seek a quick vote on the court measure They said they might make a mo- tion late next week either to recom- mit the bill to the Judiciary Com- mittee for further study or to take up other business. Either motion, if | it carried, would effectually bury the‘ Judiciary legislation for the rest of this session. 1 Administration Senators said they | were encouraged to continue the court | battle with undiminished energy as | the result of conversations with the | crowd of about 400 which surrounded | the train at Chillicothe, Ohio. | Senator Minton, Democrat, of Indiana said its sentiment seemed to be strongly behind the President. Mrs. Robinson, heavily veiled black, remained in seclusion through- out the trip, receiving only relatives end a few intimate friends in her compartment.
