SUPREME COURT
SHALL NOT CRUSH
UNIONS, MEN SAY
American Federation of Labor
Will Fight to Bitter End
for Existence.
CELEBRATED COLORADO
COAL CASE IS MENTIONED
Decision, Leaders Assert, Ap
plies to Farm and All Other
Organizations and ,These,
They Say, Face Same Plight
as Workmen Organizations.
(By Associated Press.)
Cincinnati, June 17. —Labor’s inter
pretation o£ the supreme court decis
ion in the celebrated Coronado coal
case, holding international unions sub
ject to daniage suits under the 'Sher
man anti trust law, was presented to
day to the American Federation of
Labor convention here by the feder
ation’s executive council, composed
of its eleven officers.
"The supreme court cannot crush
labor movement without endan
gering the foundations of society,” de
clared the report. “The workers will
not accept slavery. Therefore they
will not accept that which makes slav
ery either likely or possible. Thej
will find a way to preserve their lib
erties which they have, and to gait
more as time passes.”
No means for overcoming the de
cision was suggested by the council
on account of the creation by the
convention of a special policy com
mittee for this purpose, but the coun
eil declared it was “extremely alive”
to the attitude of the courts as out
lined to the convention by Senator
La Follette, of Wisconsin, who urged
a congressional veto of supreme court
decision.
Organizations of farmers and other
unincorporated association of indi
viduals were said by the council to
face the same plight as the trade
unions, for it was said that the decis
ion applies to them with equal force
as it does to labor unions. Every or
ganized unit, the council asserted, was
made liable as such for whatever acts
may be done by individual members
of groups in violation of law.
Chief Justice Taft, who wrote the
Coronado decision, was said by the
council to have been •purely gratui
tous” by including a ruling “in, antic
ipation of future - cases,” and the
court’s concurrence in the opinion
was described as an “unwarranted
act.” The decision, the council add
ed, was predicated on ancient and
outlawed British court findings” and
resulted in reversal of established law
and practices in the United States.
No action was taken on the report
ajßccept to refer it to the special com-
and with only half a day’s
work ahead of it the convention cen
tered attention on proposed changes
in the federation’s constitution and
laws.

LEGION DRIVE WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
Local Post, With 110 Members,
Now Largest in Eleventh Con
gressional District—Fifty-six
'■ New Members Added.
Local Legionaires were a happy
bunch last night. Not since the stir
ring days of 1918 have these erstwhile
warriors been so hiled with the'thrill
of victory. One week ago the Post,
then forty-six strong, Instituted a
drive to bring its membership up to
seventy-five. But so great was the
progress made that it was decided
that the goal would be set at 100
members by Saturday, the 17th. At
the close of business yesterday, 110
members were counted, which makes
the local unit sixth in size in the en
tire State, and the largest in the
Eleventh Congressional district.
Great enthusiasm now prevails
among the Legionaires, and backed by
such a strong membership a vigorous
effort is going to be made to secure
the 1923 State Convention for Bruns
wick.
It is also planned to organize a
woman’s auxiliary at an early date,
and with the support of the “lady
folks’’ the post is certain to continue
in its growth.
The great interest that is now be
ing manifested In the Legion by the
local ex-service men should be grati
fying to the entire community, for not
only is the Legion doing a great work
for the nation’s disabled,but it is good
tidings to knbw that the ex-service
men still believe in those high ideals
for which they fought, and many died,
and for which the American Legion
stands today.

UNDERWOOD URGES
SENATE TO ACCEPT
HENRY FORD OFFER
Declares Senate Should Fix a
Definite Policy Regarding
Proposal Now.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS IS
OPPOSED TO ACCEPTANCE
Democratic Leader Claimed
Himself a Ford Man and Ask
ed an Opportunity to Vote for
Acceptance of Ford's Offer
Before Congress Adjourns.
(By Associated Pres*.)
Washington. June 17.—Senators
supporting and opposing Henry Ford’s
offer for Muscle Shoals clashed today
in a two Hour heated discussion over
ways and means for developing the
projects for peace time operations.
Democratic Leader Oscar Under
wood claimed himself a Ford man and
asked for an opportunity to vote for
acceptance of Ford’s offer for the
properties before congress adjourns.
Chairman Norris declared he was op
posed to the Ford offer, or any other
offer which would have the effect of
selling properties “costing the people
one hundred and six million dollars
for five million.” and leasing those not
sold to private interests for a period
of one hundred years.
Senator Thomas Heflin, of Ala
bama, also pledged for the acceptance
of the Ford offer.
Senator Underwood said he believ
ed there would be an opportunity for
the senate to act on the Muscle Shoals
matter in the period intervening be
tween the passage of the tariff bill
and the report of the conferees on
that measure.
He added that inasmuch as the gov
ernment invited Mr. Ford to make his
proposal, Mr. Ford and the country
was entitled to know what disposi
tion congress would make of it.
Senator Norris said he was willing
to displace the tariff bill and consider
the Ford or any other offer. “But,”
he added, “that is an impossibility.
There is no use in deluding ourselves
as to the situation and I do not be
lieve the senate will be able to fix a
policy for Muscle Shoals at this ses
sion.”

BRUNSWICK GIVES
TO NOBLE CAUSE
Prompt and Liberal Response
Made When Woman’s Club
Undertakes to Provide Way
for Veterans to Richmond.
Thirteen Confederate veterans are
on their last journey from Brunswick
to a U. C. V. reunion to be held at
Richmond,in which city the first great
reunion was held many years ago.
There will not be another gathering
of the remnants of the armies of Lee
and Jackson, Beauregard and John
son, and a host of others in the his
toric capital of the Confederacy, for
within the next few years those that
now survive will have passed to the
other side to rest under the shade of
th trees.
It was a touching sight to those
who witnessed the departure last
night and this morning, of the old
vets. Their step was more sprightly
and their faces bespoke the joy. the
ecstacy that was theirs—they were
going back to Richmond. And they
were given the option of any railroad
route they desired, some of them go
ing by Atlanta, others Savannah, for
they had relatives or friends in these
cities they wanted to see.
For the first time since the reunions
were started, every Confederate vet
eran in Brunswick and Glynn county
was provided with transportation, and
a little money to spend on the side,
at Richmond. When the matter was
taken up by the Woman’s Club it was
decided that the expenses of every
local veteran should be paid on this,
their last reunion, irrespective of their
means—they were all Confederate
veterans, and no discrimination was
to be made. And that plan was ad
hered to.
Mrs. R. R. MacGregor was named as
chairman of the Flag Day committee,
it having been agreed to secure funds
by this method. This committee work
ed herocially for the success of their
project, and they succeeded. With
the generous donations of the city
and county commissioners of $75.00
each, w'hich, in addition to the amount
raised from the flag sale made a suffi
cient sum to defray the expenses of
eleven veterans, all that had express
ed an intention up to that time of at
tending the reunion. Later, however,
it was learned by Mrs. MacGregor
that there were two others that want
ed to go. She promptly determined
that they should not be disappointed,
and assumed the task of providing a
way. There was nothing left to do
but make a second call on those who
had contributed, and in this Mrs. .Mac-
Gregor was not disappointed.
“I wish you would say for me.” said
Mrs. MacGregor last night, “that the
prompt response made by several in
dividuals and firms made it possiblt
for us to provide a way for those two
veterans that were not on the original
list, to attend the reunion. While
many were liberal, I want especially
to thank ih behalf of the Woman’s
Club, Cate’s Drug Store, Edo Miller,
D. W. Kraiiss, E. C. Butts, The Down
ing Company, A. J. Gordon. A. Kaiser
& Bro., O. C. Lisman, Stephens, Lo
rentzson & Sheffield, Bennet, Twitty
& Reese, and Miss Sadie Ferguson,
all of whom unhesitatingly made their
second contributions when it was inti
mated to them that there were two
more veterans to be provided for.”
Mrs. MacGregor states that the re
spouse by the public generally was
most liberal and is greatly appreciat
ed by the members of' the Woman's
Club.
The old veterans are happy on the
way to Richmond, carrying with
them the best wishes of the folks back
home for a very joyous time, and a
safe return. 4

OUT FOR NEGROES
IN JENKINS CASE
Coroner Baldwin Says He Has
Sufficient Evidence to Cause
Holding of Men.
MANY THINK WHUE MAN
MIXED UP IN AFFAIR
Not an A., B. & A. Employe as
Many Thought Some Non-
Union Man Killed Conductor.
—Developments of Sensa
tional Nature Expected Soon
Coroner J. D. Baldwin went to
Thallman yesterday morning to re
sume investigations of the killing of
Conductor J. H. Jenkins, which oc
curred early Thursday morning, but
recessed the jury subject to call.
Sufficient evidence has been collect
ed to cause the Coroner to appear be
fore Judge R. T. Hitch and swear out
warrants against Willie Middleton
and Henry Lee. the two negro hoboes
who were arrested on a train which
left Thallman and reached Jackson
ville a couple of hours after the kill
ing, on the charge of murder. It Is
understood that Middleton and Lee
refuse to come to Georgia without
requisition papers and the securing
of the necessary documents will con
sume several days.
In the meantime, there are other
angles in this mysterious affair, one
of which connects a white man with
the murder and, by the way, he is not
now employed on the Atlanta, Bir
mingham & Atlantic railroad. It will
be remembered that il was at first
suggested that Conductor Jenkins met
his death as a result of his strong
union -sentiment and always freely
and publicly expressed and that a
non-union man killed him.
The warrants against Middleton
and Lee were turned over to Sheriff
Pyles last night and he will immedi
ately make a request of Governor
Hardwick for requisition papers, the
Georgia governor, of course, taking
up the matter with Governor Hardee,
of Florida. This will take a week
at least and at the end of that time
it is thought there w r ill be develop
ments which will be a surprise to
many and the bringing in of the white
man's name, which, while not a sur
prise to some people in Brunswick,
will be a shock to Seaboard officials.
