Show News Review of Current Events the World Over President and Attorney General Defend Supreme Court Packing Plan Open Warfare Between C. I. 0. and A. F. of L. Franco Threatens Madrid. W. PICKARD By EDWARD 9 tern Xcwquprr I'uu n. W tWiriTH the the repercussions from Presidents fireside radio address and the opening of hearings by the senate Judiciary committee, the controversy over the proposition to enlarge the Supreme court took on renewed heat. Mr. Roosevelts talk was s 0 generally heard over the radio that no extended report of it is needed. He made an extraordinarily bitter attack on the majority of the Supreme court that bas repeatedly upset New Deal legislation, and avowed frankly his determination to. have a tribunal that will not undertake to override the Judgment of the congress on legislative policy." If the phrase "packing the court" means that, then, said the President I say that I and with me the vast majority of the American people favor doing just that thing 1 DOW The court, in addition to the proper use of its Judicial functions," has improperaid Mr. Roosevelt, ly set itself up as a third house of the congress a as one of the justices has called it super-legislatur- reading into the constitution words which are not and implications, there, and which were never intended to be there. We have, therefore, reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the constitution from the court and the court from itself. We must find a way to take an appeal from the Supreme court to the constitution itself. We want a Supreme court which will do justice under the constitution not over it. In our courts we want a government of laws and not of men. Mr. Roosevelt divided the opponents of his plan into two classes. The first, he said, includes those who fundamentally object to social and economic legislation along mod- ever it is deemed. Joi n L. Lewis says the C. I. O. hr.s hundreds of applications for afliliation and that he will take in any A. F. of L. unions that wish to join his organization. At the same time half a hundred organizers of the American Federation of Labor met with President William Green to plan means of protecting the bodv against the C. I. O. and to hold the ranks of the craft unions in fine. They arranged for an intensive campaign to organize unions in steel to rival the C. I. O.s Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers; considered spreading the charge that Lewis is allied with commimist interests, and the launching of plans to organize in the cement, aluminum, cereal, and Hour mill industries. The organizers also discussed organization of gas station attendants, which would overlap with Lewis' plans to organize the petroleum industry. The Carnegie-Illino- is company union, which is bitterly opposed to the C. I. O., has not yet reached an agreement on affiliation with the . F. of L. General Electric and some of the other big concerns that yielded to a certain extent to the demands of the C. I. 0. followed the example of the steel companies in asserting that they still reserved the right to deal also with other unions or groups of employees. Eight thousand employees of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company's Pittsburgh plant demanded a 20 per cent raise in wages and it was feared they would start a strike if the demand were rejected. Because the Chrysler motor company refused to recognize the United Automobile Workers of America as the sole bargaining agency for all its employees, a strike was called in all its major units in Detroit, and other plants of the company were closed because of dependence on Detroit production. More than 50,000 workers were thus thrown into idleness. The union also called a strike at the Hudson Motor Car company because, they asserted, officials of the concern were stalling in negotiations on working conditions. em lines" and opposed him in the last election; and of them he spoke with supreme contempt.

Dm ;w;y T'm Is Depart-- " ment of Commerce show that the live stock producers who predicted the United States would be forced to depend on foreign meat imports this year were right. During January the arrivals of foreign pork at domestic ports set an all time record for any month, and the imports of meat were far in excess of those a year ago. This condition is blamed on the drouth and the four-yea- r federal crop control program. Meat imports in January aggregated 30.387,000 pounds, compared with 19,922,000 in January of 1936 and only 7,14,000 pounds in 1935. Dressed pork imports alone reached the record figure of 5,580,033 pounds compared with 2.250,389 in January, 1936, and only 265,000 in 1935. Heavy imports of pork continued during the first three weeks of February, government figures for receipts at New York indicated. During this period foreign nations shipped 2,988,500 pounds of pork to New York which exceeded imports for any February. Canada proved to be the largest source of supply for the American market. Imports of sll kinds of meat from Canada during the first month of this year were approximately 17.102,000 pounds, an increase of 190 per cent over the pounds imported in January of last year. & ay. ? ... wm. .f: mm Ah v V-- yiK M -- Ay f'k 4 s V11 v!L fia-- yX ' i tGRCmiff jStF0B CABS i TBicks - TBJICTOB' A' jfk S'v ' V.'- v- ' RIPlT IK EB 4MD ALL WHEELED FAiM IMFLEMEKTS CottrUki. un, riMlau Xlra S liltitu |
