In that case Monroe’s hope fori a water supply, so vitally needed to insure greater development and to serve the na- tional defense system here, depends upon | the success of the effort being made by | | Congressman A. Pat Cannon to have Con- | gress appropriate money to the Navy De- (the city, its flora and projects of j partment to insure a water supply along | | the keys. Under that proposal the Navy | Department would build a supply system | primarily for the naval station here, but | would be enabled to sell the surplus to con- sumers of Monroe County.

The men were charged with em- ploying terrorism to control the labor field | of the fur industry. The government sought to show that | the men, acting through the Needle Trades Union, had restrained interstate commerce and witnesses attributed to them acts of | establishments that had no contracts with the union, damaging of stock, smashing of | windows and throwing of stench bombs. | Evidently the jury, which had the case before it for more than six ‘weeks, con- | eluded that the defendants convicted were guilty of such acts. While we are thoroughly in accord | with the laws that give unions the right to protect laborers and to represent them, we | do not see how any far-sighted labor lead- | er can condone or uphold such terrorism. The right to organize gives no right to slug | | those who disagree about matters concern- ing labor.
