INJUNCTIONSSEEN AS TROUBLEMAERS Green Declares Too Frequent Use Embitters Labor Chicago, Jan.14 (UP)—Promis- cuous use of injunctions is embit- tering organized labor, William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, warned in a speech here. He said every means at legislative redress would be used to insure labor's constitutional free- dom and economic rights. Green was the principal speaker at a Chicago bar association dinner last night. He told the lawyers that growth of trade unions parallefed | developments of corporations and | was a natural and rational develop- ment. Green decried what he termed un- fair opposition to the workers’ right | to organize and was particularly bit- ‘tcr in denouncing use of court in- |junctions as a means of settling l'labor cotroversies. | *“Labor has vigorously protested against the injunction, which, with its broad and sweeping terms, re- strains it from doing things which it | firmly believes it 'has a legal and moral right to do,” he sald. “This policy of fighting trade unions through the use of injunc- tions is embittering labor. Tt rea- sons that in many instances the courts place themselves on the side of corporations and big business to ‘de’.atroy labor organizations. The sit. |uation is becoming acute and labor is determined to seek legislative re- |dress from the destructive effects of | court fnjunctions. Greene sald the economic free- dom of labor was involved in the | court injunction problem. “Shall the right of labor to organ- |ize, to function, to solicit members |and to strike be abridged?” he ask- | ed. “Shall labor be free, and may it enjoy the rights and privileges which economic freedom guaran- |tees? The heart of unionism is plac- |ed in jeopardy by injunctions.” Green referred to a recent mi- ! nority opinion of U. 8. supreme court Justices Brandeis and Holmes, who pointed out that “if the refusal to work can be enjoined, congress | created by the Sherman law and the | | Clayton act an instrument for im- posing restraints upon labor which reminds of involuntary servitude.” Household articles for sale in the Herald classified ads every night.

It headlines hint of the futurc, ithe faith of St. John's and Harbor Grace, Newfoundland; Horta, in the Azores; Valencla, Ireland;" Dakar, Africa; Pernambuco, Brasil; Kara- chi, India; Port Darwin, Australla, and many similar seacoast towns may well pin their faith on the air- plane, The rallway junction of yesterday is the metropolis of today. Perhaps the airports of today will be the great cities of 1950, if the business of aerial travel and transportation continues in its forward strides. Surcst of blessings from aviation, the National Geographic society be- lieves, is St. John's, Newfoundland, from which and’over which so many famous flights have been made. It Was from Trepassey Bay, near St. John's that the NC-4 de- parted on its successful flight to the Azores and Lisbon, and it was to 8t. John's that Alcock and Brown flew in the same year from Clifden, Ire- land. Although Lindbergh, Chamber- lin and Byrd did not stop at Bt. John's to buy gasoline, it is deemed likely that commercial transatlantle aireraft will use the port as the half- way place on the great circle route between the United States and Eu- rope and evea dn the Azores route. Columbus pioneered the best Eu- rope-to-America route for aircraft He sailed before the trade wind to the Azores, and commercial air- planes will undoubtedly take Colum- bus’ southern route to avoid the vi- clous westerlies farther north that beat down two planes from Europe in 1927 and forced a German flier back. Favorable winds will be the making of Horta, on the Aszorean island of Fayal, as an airport on the Atlantic. The South Atlantic extends slightly warmer hospitality to the airplane than does the North.At- lantic, although the water gap be- tween l!le contitents measures nearly the same — 1,900 miles from St. John's to Valencla Island, Ire- land, and 1.980 miles from Per- nambuco to Dakar. But Africa pushes the Cape Verde Islands' 300 miles cff coast to help the airmen, and South America reaches out with Fermando Noron- ha, 300 miles northeast of Pernam- buco. Then there is 8t. Paul Is- {1and, a dot of land midway between the continents and a possible fu- ture emergency station. 8o Dakar and Pernambuco are likely to be airports of 1950. The airplane as a city maker is functioning already in some places. Girardot, Colombla, is a thriving town today because seaplane serv- ice up the Magdalena river, abbre- viating the long, racking trip from Barranquilla on the coast to Bogo- ta, the capital, ends at the Girar- dot hangars. Boma, near the Congo mouth in Africa, has an airplane future by | virtue of a Belgian Colonial service which shortens the tropical jour- ney to Elizabethville a whole month, * Yesterday Kisumu was a | British outpost on Lake Victoria in mid-Africa. Today it is the termi- nus of the air service from Khar- tum—tomorrow, perhaps, the air metropolis of Africa. Gaza in the Paiestine and Bag- dad in Mesapotamia see the glory of caravan days returning as the express drops down from the skies. Karachi, alrcady a port and mil- head, is the natural air gate of In- dia for planes which go up the In- dus river to Delhi, down the Ganges to Calcutta and on to Singapore and Australia. Four flights in recent years have blaged air trails and cities of the IS GOING TO MEAN plane has made heroes and heroines. 1 future: The Army round-the-worldy i T 5 E* il 4 DRIYE ON REBELS 'WILL BE BY AR Nicaraguan Warfare Plans Are Formulated Managua, Nie., Jan. 14.—P—The drive against S8andino’s rebels will be continued by air rather than by marine patrols which run the risk | ot being ambushed. | Bombardment of rebel positions |from airplanes has been very effect- |ive, Colonel Louis Mason Gulick, | American marine commander in | Nicaragua, said in announcing his | policy. The rebels were dispersing under |heavy cover today fearing the effect ior bombing. Marine infantry de- tachments maased in the eastern part of the state of Nueva Segovia, They intended to cut off the rebel General Augustino Bandino in case {he should attempt to escape down the Coco river to,the Caribbean sea. Planes returning from the Quilali district Thursday vigorously bombed |the rebel areas near QuHali, Colonel Gulick announced, He said that the aviators reported that their bom. |bardment was carried out with dis- |astrous effect. An offer of a conservative army |to aid the marines in their drive |against 8andino was made by Gen- |eral Emillano Chamorro, former | | conservative president, Chamorro returned to Nicaragua recently after a conference with the atate depart- ment ¥n Washington at which he was i informed that he would be persona Inon grata if elected president in 1928, | The liberal newspapers here re- | | cently charged that Chamorro was' supplying Sandino with arms and ammunition. Calling on Colonel | {Louls Mason Gulick, commanding | [the American forces in Nicaragua, | Chamorro called these eharges to | Gulick’s attention’and told him they | were ridiculous, | Chamorro then suggested that a | | force of conservatives in the north i be organized to help fight Bandino, | because knowing the country they could move faster than the marines. | {Gulick did not reply to this sugges- | {tlon, but in military circles it was |said he reminded Chamorro that the | conservatives had hidden large sup- plies of war materials in the north, l Chamorro is understood to have agreed that they would be given up jas provided under ‘agraoment for a the Stimson | free election in | | While twelve persons were eating in a restaurant in the main street of | |Managua yesterday noon a bomb |fell from a marine plane passing ' overhead. The bomb imbedded itself | in the wall of the restaurant, | The safety mechanism of the bomb, intended’ to guard against | detonation in such cases, prevented jan explosion. There was great ex- | |citement among the diness, how- ever.
