BORAH SAYS PARKER [5 UNFIT (Continued From First Page) immediately behind him. The Idahoan said Parker based | his decision against the union in the i | | separating the cell | | Borah said, citing the 192 | e | man case, Red Jacket coal case upon the 1817 decision of the supreme court in the Hitchman case. “If that case stood alone, such an inference as that drawn by Circuit Judge Parker might be justified,” 7 tri-cities case which hesaid should have of- fered Parker a guide to rule in favor of the union, “Ten years had elapsed between the Hitchman and the Tri-City cas. he added. A vast amount criticism came from lawyers and lay- men against the ruling in the Hitch- and it I can understand the English language, the court an- swered that criticism in the Tri-City case and reversed itself. Held Unions in Right “It held that labor unions had the right to peacefully persuade non- union workers to join them. “Yet the effect of Judge Parker" decision was to say ‘you cannot cven discuss with each other the advisability of joining the union.’ " Borah was scldom interrupted as the lawyers and constitutional au- thorities listened to his argument. His voice was much improved since vesterday. His deep voice reverberat- ed. He waved his horn rimmed spec- tacles to stress his points and shook his head so vehemently that his long gray hair at times dropped over his eyes as he attacked what he called “the Parker alibi.” “I would never vote to put upon the supreme bench a man who has already expressed himself in favor of the Yellow Dog contract,” Borah said. “I think this is so fundamental, so righteous of itself, that it is up to the senate to call a halt. “The court is divided on this ques- tion. The issue of such anti-union contracts is there before the court again. “I1f Judge Parker should be con- firmed it is a moral decision of the senate in favor of the Yellow Dog contract.” Spring to His Defense ‘Washington, April 20 () — Ad- ministration leaders in the scnate to- day sprang to the defense of Judge John J. Parker, whose nomination as an associate justice of the supreme court has aroused determined op- | position and provoked a controversy comparable to that evoked by the appointment of Charles Evans| Hughes as chief justice of the United | States.

T'OR BEST RESULTS Deputy Sheritf | Attorney Yale | | hats. of | | sition, basing his objections upon the | to the workers | | ployes of the Red Jacket Coal and tions of prejudice advanced by labor and negro organizations, was herald- ed as the opening gun of an aggres- sive campaign by which the republi- can regulars hoped to obtain confir- mation of the nomination. Senator Borah of Idaho, a repub- lican independent, had the floor at the outset of the day's session for a continuation of an address vigorously espousing the complaint of organized labor, Fess awaited the conclusion of Borah's speech, ready to assume the defense. Outcome in Doubt Meanwhile, the outcome of the battle was in doubt. Concededly the | senate was closely divided upon the | issue. The opponents of confirmation | Bristol claimed enough votes to reject the nomination, but the administration | Thursday morning group declined to admit defeat. | The labor protest was based on a | decision rendered by Judge Parker, as a member of the circuit court of appeals, which upheld an injunction | restraining the United Mine Workers | from secking to organize the em- | Coke company of West Virginia. The “ork(‘r‘i had signed the so-called Yellow Dog” contracts, under which they bound themselves not to join a union while in the company's em- ploy. The association for the advance- ment of colored peoplc objected to| remarks made by Judge Parker as republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, in 1920, which it in- terpreted as revealing a bias against the negro race. Debate Opened By Overman The debate began in the senate| late yesterday, with Senator Overman of North Carolina, a democrat, urg- ing approval of the' nomination. At the conclusion of his speech, he turn- ed the battle for confirmation over to the administration group. Borah then opencd the attack of the oppo- Red Jacket decision. He asserted that Judge Parker in rendering this decision was not bound to follow the opinion of the supreme court in the Hitchman case as the administration and Parker himself have contended. Thé issue involyed, he said, was that Parker had held that the United Mine Work- rs could not seek to have the Red Jacket employes break their con- tracts cven by peaceful persuasion. The supreme court, Borah contin- ued, did not in the Hitchman case deny the union's right to solicit workers who had signed the “Yellow Dog” contract. He then cited the Tri-City case decision of the supreme court, which he said held that where there is no malice, deception, deceit or fraud, peaceful persuasion was not to be restrained. | Two Chances Open | His argument was that Parker | could as easily have followed one | supreme court decision as the other. | The Idahoan contended that the le- | gality of the “Yellow Dog” contract | had never been finally passed upon by the courts and added that Judge | Parker's name was intimately con- nected with this form of contract | because of the Red Jacket decision. | He assailed the “Yellow Dog™ con- | tract, describing it a “reprehensible” | | and *“void” and termed it in addition | an issuc of importance not only to the unions but to the states and the | federal government as well. ! Avolds Labor Protest | Overman made no reference to the | labor protest other than to say il} was among those that had been re- | ceived. He denicd that Parker was | prejudiced against the negro race | and said the negroes of his state | were for him.
