action discharging ' Ethel Tanner from trial on a complaint alleging failure to register with the state in dustrial commission before accepting employment during a strike In addition to criticizing Salt Lake City for its failure to cooperate with the government in financing puhjic works projects Senator Thomas bitterly expressed his resentment at personal attacks leveled at him in the campaign just completed In introducing the senator Marion C Nelson chamber president him on the clean complimented campaign which had just been conducted in his behalf "I wish the president of the chamber of commerce could have seen his way clear to repudiate the lies circulated about me before the election was over” Senator Thomas said as he opened his remarks “You do not know what my family and I went through during this campaign when we faced misrepresentation and lies from the opposing party I do not know any other way to characterize the 17 lies thai-we- re published about me A man running for public office has no way to protect himself against attacks of this kind ' Of course I can get over it and my family will live it down but when that sort of tactics are used to blacken dishonestly a governor or a senator you blacken tho name of the state" the senator said failure to register before accepting employment with the Purity Biscuit company 471 West Fifth South A street on November 2 1937 defense motion to quash the information was granted by City Judge M J Bronson last January 24 Doubted Jurisdiction Holding a city court could not rule on the constitutionality of a state statute County Attorney Harold E Wallace appealed the case to the Third district court where it was taken under advisement several months ago Citing numerous questions arising out of the statute Judge Schiller said in part: "Even if the court could answer the foregoing questions the phrase ’national recognized union’ defies interpretation This phrase has no technical meaning it does not consist of ‘words of art’ its meaning had not been adjudicated by the courts prior to the statute’s enactment it has no generally accepted meaning among laymen” ProtestaJRedTag An accusation that he was a communist Senator Thomas particularly protested “If you will read the oath of a senator of the United States or of an officer of the United States army add them together you will realize what a serious charge that is If a man who had taken these oaths was a communist he would be also a traitor to his country’ Senator Thomas then proceeded to give the board of governors an account of the struggles in which he had participated to gain for Salt Lake City and Utah a share of the public works funds I think the chamber of commerce should take a view that theirs is a growlhg civilization and a growing community rather than any other view I wish you could understand the antagonism it arouses when two cities only a short distance apart are competing for the same project especially when it is one too big for either of them" Related Failure After relating how the failure of the board of education to follow through on the building had prevented some other program city from getting the money and how he had secured the grant as a personal favor from Secretary Ickes Senator ‘Essential Vagueness’ It was also stated in the written opinion 4hat "a careful analysis imof the statute immediately presses one with its essential vagueness” The case will not be carried farther Mr Wallace said Monday af- Thomas told of his campaign to ter he had received a copy of the secure all

Salt Lake City” Thanks Thomas At the close of the senator’s speech Mr Nelson said: “We should thank Senator Thomas for Coming here to talk over problems with us and for talking so We have too much
