Must Destroy CIO
Work Before AFL
Workers Will Work
SPOKANE, (i<P)—Five AFL la
bor organiaztions which would
not complete a tavern until fix
tures installed by a CIO union had
been ripped out were not conduct
ing a secondary boycott, in the
opinion of U. S. District Judge
Sam M. Diver.
The judge denied a petition by
the national labor relations board
for a temporary injunction against
the three AFL unions and two la
bor councils. The NLRB said the
AFL action was a secondary boy
cott prohibited by the Taft-Hart
ley act.
In dissent, Driver ruled that “la
bor unions have a right to say
who their friends are and who are
not, and a right to tell their friends
about it.”

Harvard College was donated by
Lady Mowlson of London in 1943.
Eleven Communist
Leaders Behind
Prison Bars
(Continued from Page One)
Mundt (R.-S. D.) and Ferguson
<D.-Mich.) were expected to use
the verdict to try to pry through
the Senate new communist-regis
tration laws in the next session.
But it appeared that the cus
tomary appeals would forestall
the hour of decision for the com
munist party.
The Smith Act, under which the
11 were tried, may come in for re
view by the Supreme Court. Pass
ed in 1940, it makes it a crime to
advocate the violent overthrow of
the U. S. government.
Levelled at the 30-year-old com
munist party for the first time, the
statute brought its leaders face
toface with the possibility of up
to 10 years each in prison and
$10,000 fines.
They will hear their sentence
next Friday .
Federal Judge Harold R. Medi
na refused them bail. They went

He said bulk of the Co-op spud

Wilson reported that with the

show this will be the best year in

The judge then sentenced their
leader, Eugene Dennis, and their
five lawyers to jail from 30 days to
six months for contmpt during
the 39-week trial. The sentences
begin Nov. 15.
