COURT’S RULING
CALLED VICTORY
FOR U. S. WOMEN
LEADER. JANE SMITH*
HAILS DECISION ON
N. Y. WAGE LAW
NEW YORK, June 5 (TP)—The
national woman's party leader, Jane
Norman Smith, tofay loudly hailed
the supreme court's decision against
the New York minimum wage law.
She said that when the high court
voided the law It was a "victory for
women." "Why.” she said, "the state
fixed minimum wage for women
would have worked towards driving
women out of Jobs and placing them
on relief." The Jobs of some 50,000
women workers, she said, -ould nave
gone to men and boys not subject to
the law.
Miss Smith quoted figures from
other states which she said proved
that the minimum wage law was un
fair. She said that in Ohio hundreds
of women were dismissed from ths
laundry and dry-cleaning Industries.
In Oregon, women cannery workers
requested that the minimum wage
scale be reduced. Miss Smtyh said
Harvard university dismissed its scrub
women rather than meet the de
mands of the law. Said Miss Smith:
"Women are wary of a gift that men
don't want for themselves. The na
tional women's party is opposed to
long hours and low pay—but when
labor laws and regulations become
necessary we demand that they shall
be t’sed on the work ana not upon
the se:: of the worker.'*

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 5
(TP)—Governor Curley announced

which were wiped out by the March
floods will be replaced at a cost of

convention, said he has conferred
with Washington officials and that
the federal government has agreed to
bear 75 per cent of the expense. The
state will pay the remainder of the
$9,000,000 bill.
It’s no fun eating your words ....
Long after you’ve said the wrong
thing you crawl away into a dark and
private corner and eat those words
you should never have spoken. They
are horrible, but you have no peace
till it’s done.

Representative J. W. Martin, Jr.
Two reasons are advanced by po
litical observers, for the selection
of Representative Joseph W.
Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts to
be floor leadev of the Landon
forces at the Republican national
convention in Cleveland. One is
that Martin, shown above in a
new picture, is an ideal man for
northeastern campaign manager
if Governor Landon is nominated.
The other is that Martin, being
assistant Republican floor leader
in the house, may come in handy
on the convention floor if an issue
of parliamentary strategy arises.

MILL SHUTS DOWN,
200 TO LOSE JOBS
BELLINGHAM, Mass., June 5
(TP) —The doors of the Taft Woolen
Mill were closed today and 200 be
wildered employes found themselves
without jobs. The textile plant had
been running continuously for 60
years under the leadership of one
man —and apparently no one expect
ed it to stop.
The manufacturer. 81-year-old Ad
dison Bullard, decided suddenly to
call it quits. He said he thought he
ought to retire. He explained he had
tried for months to sell the mill.
Until he does. 200 workers who were
listed on his $4,500 weekly payroll
will have to hunt Jobs elsewhere. The
mill was one of the mainstays of the
town.
Owner Bullard said business hadn’t
been so good during the past few
months—but that his 81 years were
the only reason for turning off the
motors and padlocking the doors.
Authorities of the town and the work
ers plan a mars-meeting to urge Bul
lard to change his mind.

TEEMAN IN ADDRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 5
(TP) —Bay state Democratic leaders
are ready to settle down to their pre
primary convention duties today.
The Democrats who flocked to
Springfield heard Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley fire the first
gun in the Masachusetts campaign in
a speech delivered at a dinner last
night.
The generalissimo of the National
Democratic committee, was free in
predicting a landslide victory for
President Roosevelt in November. Ha
lashed out at anti New Dealers whom
he accused of blocking legislation
necessary for speedy recovery. The
November vote totals, Farley predict?
ed, will speak the voice of the people
against the wails of privileged Inter
ests who attack the administration.
The convention formally gets un
der way today. Fireworks may pop
when the state’s four candidates for
the Democratic gubemotorial nomi
nation battle for the convention's
support.
OVERSEA BATTLE
FOR CUSTODY
BANNISTER TO TAKE LE
GAL STEPS IN EUROPE
NEW YORK, June 5 (TP)—Harry
Bannister's attorney confided today
that Bannister’s next step to wrest
custody of his child from actress Ann
Harding will be taken overseas. The
movie aertess and seven-year-old Jane
Harding Bannister sailed for Europe
last week after beating Bannister in
a race through Canada.
Attorney Stanley Harte ridiculed
published reports that he had filed
another petition with a Reno court
asking that it reconsider its action
making Miss Harding the sole cus
aodian of their daughter Jane.
"Old stuff,” said Harte. "That pet
ition was filed more than 10-days-ago.
It comes up for action on June 22.
Our next move will be made in Eng
land. I am not at liberty to say ex
actly What It will be.”
