Under the Sherman anti-trulaw, no trade organization raid be permitted to boycott systematically and by agreement desirable customers which it might deem unethical or unfair. It is difficult for an impartial observer to see why any whether it be one of labor or manufacturers, should permitted under the law, to deliberately destroy any man's isiness. In the present case, the labor unions might just as III demand that the courts make it unlawful for a n tan to work in a stone quarry and earn his living. Under the fas it stands today, and as it should stand forever, both union d men have equal rights to work and equal protec-i- n against unlawful interference with their right to work.

It was Harry Knight of Saint Louis, only. 28 years of age, and Bixby of the Saint Louis trade body, who is noly a little over 30, who had the first faith in Lindbergh. These were the boys who talked, enthused and passed the hat to the money which made the flight possible . While the golden towers of Manhatten are entitled to a glimpse of this American hero, on his return, one cannot escape the feeling that the and only place for his feat to be. properly acclaimed is in the dear old city on the Mississippi which made it non-uni- PRESIDENT DIRECTS WORK (By N.P.S.) on, non-unio- on tom-tovertising, publicity-seekinbeating chief executive.
