Urges Fight on Accidents
After emphasizing the big part'the
defense program will play in putting
the unemployed to work, Miss Perkins
went on to declare that it is of vital
importance that the lives and health
of wage earners be protected as a con
tribution to national defense.
"The Department of Labor," she
continued, "is working in close co-op
eration with national defense authori
ties to prevent accidents and injuries
to workers engaged in defense pro
gram industries. In our efforts we
need the co-operation of workers and
of management so as to conserve man
power, to prevent delays in production
schedules which follow accidents and
to control, as far as possible, factors
making workers physically unfit to
keep, up even production.
Co-operation is Urged
"To this end I named eight out
standing industrial safety experts last
July and I ask now that they and their
assistants receive every co-operation
from men and women at work in plants

Sec. Perkins Asks Co-operation
of Workers and Management to
Cut Accidents in Defense Work
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Whole
hearted co-operation of workers and
management to prevent accidents in
defense production was urged by Sec
retary of Labor Perkins, in speaking
on the three hundred forty-first pro
gram of the "Labor News Review,"
broadcast over WJSV, of the Columbia
Broadcasting System.
In beginning her talk,. Secretary
Perkins congratulated Albert N. Den
nis, originator and broadcaster of the
"Labor News Review," pointing out

gram in the nation devoted to the
problems of wage earnera and the in
terests of labor.

and from! their employers. I am
prompted to make this request as a
result of the disastrous fire in New
Haven which cost the lives of ten
workmen and serious injuries to three
others. They were making blankets
for the army.
"Let us make certain that the toll
of lives taken in the New Haven fire
serve as a constant reminder of the
need for constant vigilance against
menacing hazards and the need for
sustained educational work in fac
tories and out so that other lives may
be safeguarded at all times.
Big Accident ToU
"Industrial accidents in the United
States annually cause 16,000 deaths
and a million and a half disabling ac
cidents. The co-operation of workers
and management with government and
industrial safety experts is needed at
all times in order to reduce this high
rate."
Secretary Perkins was 1he first
speaker on a new "Labor News Re
view" series, on the general theme
of "Labor and Defense Program."
Twenty prominent guest speakers will
be heard in the series. The "Labor
News Review" is presented over
WJSV every Saturday at 5:45 p. m.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—In a
decision hailed by both American Fed
eration of Labor and Congress of In
dustrial Organizations leaders as a
victory for unionism, the Supreme
Court in effect held that the Ford Mo
tor Company coerced and intimidated
employes to prevent organization by
the C. I. O. United Automobile Work
ers.
In two other decisions important to
organized labor, the court upheld the
right to picket where no relationship
exists between the pickets and the em
ployees and also limited picketing
rights where it was closely associated
with violence.
The Ford ruling came in a company
appeal from a decision of the Sixth
Circuit Court of Appeals, upholding
an order of the National Labor Rela
tions Board. The high court refused
the Ford petition for review of the
lower court decision.
Under the labor board's order, the
company was required to stop dis
couraging memberships in the United
Automobile Workers or any other

union and to reinstate with back pay
23 men who the board found were
discharged for union activity. The
case arose from union activities at the
River Rouge plant of the Ford Com
pany in 1937.
Review is Refused
The court did not pass judgment on
Ford's activities but simply declined
to review the decision of the Circuit
Court.
The first picketing decision involved
an injunction obtained by the Meadow
moor Dairies, Inc., after it is alleged
repeated acts of violence had taken
place in its controversy with the Chi
cago Milk Wagon Drivers' Union, A.
F. of L. affiliate. A special master
recommended that all picketing be en
joined and the Illinois Supreme Court
upheld him.
The court split 5 to 3 on the deci
sion, Justice Frankfurter writing the
majority opinion. Justice Hugo Black
wrote a dissenting opinion, in which
Justice William 0. Douglass joined
and Justice Stanley Reed wrote an
other.

PRESS
State Court Upheld
The majority opinion held that the
Supreme Court was concerned with
the "power" of a state court and not
with the "wisdom of its exercise," de
ciding that the Illinois Supreme Court
had not transgressed constitutional
barriers.
"Freedom of speech and freedom of
the press cannot be too often invoked
as basic to our scheme of society,"
Justice Frankfurter said, "but these
liberties will not be advanced or even
maintained by denying to the states
with all their resources, including the
instrumentality of their courts, the
power to deal with coercion due to ex
tensive violence."
"Peaceful picketing is the working
man's means of communication," he
further said. "But utterance in a con
test of violence can lose its signifi
cance as an appeal to reason and be
come part of an instrument of force.
Such utterances are not meant to be
sheltered by the Constitution."
Black in Strong Dissent
Justice Black challenged the ma
jority opinion in a sharply worded
dissent in which he declared the ma
jority view "gave approval to an in
junction which seriously infringes
