FEWER SEDITION
CASES REPORTED
THAN IN FIRST
WORLD WAR
New York City (ILNS).—In a re
port on war-time prosecutions for al
legedly subversive speech and publi
cation, the American Civil Liberties
Union notes fewer sedition cases in
World War II.
"There were only 45 federal cases
of all sorts up to May, 1943," the re
port says, "as against a total of al
most 1,000 such cases in the first
World War I corresponding period."
About 125 convicted persons are in
prison, and a few more are in jail
awaiting trial. The largest group are
members of obscure religious sects,
convicted for conspiracy to obstruct
the Selective Service Act the next
largest are members of the German
American Bund.
The government has invoked the
Espionage Act in 23 cases involving
95 persons 30 persons have been con
victed, 15 released, and 50 are on trial
or awaiting it. Three cases, in which
prosecutions were dropped, were
brought under the peace-time sedition
act.
Early in the war there were a few

Department has revoked the second
class mailing rights of six publica
tions and barred 15 issues of eight
publications from the mails for viola
tion of the Espionage Act.
It has been the Union's policy not to
intervene where the indictments show
a "clear and present danger," or
where a connection with enemy agents
is established, except where the
"fundamentals of due process are in
volved."
The relatively small number of sedi
tion cases, the report holds, is appar
ently due to the slight opposition to
the war, the general absence of hys
teria, and the intelligent application
by the Department of Justice of the
clear and present danger test laid
down by the Supreme Court in the last
war.
Wage Increase Approved
For Drug Firm Porters
Chicago (ILNS).—An increase in
pay for some 250 Negro porters em
ployed by the Walgreen Drug Co.
here has been approved by the Nat
ional War Labor Board, Drug Store
Porters' Union, Local 132, Building
Employes' International Union
(AFL), announced. The increase was
negotiated by the union.
The raise will amount to approxi
mately $5 a week per man. This repre
sents one of the largest single in
creases ever granted to Walgreen
porters. The boost in pay is retroac
tive to October, 1942.
Raid Test Near Perfect
Except for scattered minor infrac
tions, Hamilton's participation in the
ninth warning area blackout Tuesday
night was pronounced "near perfect"
in preliminary reports received at the
Civilian Defense control room.
Hamilton's new steam warning sig
nal was used for the first time Tues
day, being heard distinctly in most
parts of the city. A second signal is to
be installed soon.

TAXI FIREMEN IN MAINE CITY
Portland, Me.—This city permits
25 firemen to work as taxi drivers
during their time off. The city man
ager said "a fireman driving a cab
when an alarm sounded would be like
ly to reach the scene of a fire a lot
quicker than if he were at home."
Under arrangement with taxi com
panies, firemen are permitted to use
their cabs in answering fire alarms.

5 Sons in War, Union Father
Offers to Run Train, China
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Giving
five sons to his country isn't enough
for George Parkins, former railroad
engineer and member of Building
Service Employes Union, Local No.
84, Fort Worth, Tex. Perkins wants
to get in the scrap himself.
At present Parkins is working as
janitor for the Fort Worth school
system, but he has felt the urge to
get in the fight. He presented himself
to the proper authorities and told
them he wanted to run an engine
again. Where? He wasn't particular.
He told them he would go to China,
or any other place on the globe where
he might be needed.
Noise Fought As Waster
Of Labor's Energy
New York City (ILNS).—Maybe
you didn't know it, but National Noise
Abatement Week has just ended in
principal cities and industrial com
munities of the nation. The week was
part of the 1943 wartime campaign of
the National Noise Abatement Coun
cil to reduce unnecessary noise in war
industries, offices and homes, as a
manpower conservative measure and
an aid to war production. The council
will award plaques to cities achieving
outstanding records in noise abate
ment. A feature of the campaign is a
poster by Howard Scott, bearing the
words, "Quiet!—Noise wastes energy,
dissipates manpower, slows war pro
duction."
The pre-war machine tool industry,
which did an average annual business
of about $100 millions, has grown to a
war industry with a monthly output
valued at $130 millions.

AFL MINE WORKERS
OPPOSE LEWIS'
REAFFILIAT10N
Springfield, 111. (ILNS).—The exec
utive board of the Progressive Mine
Workers of America has formally
asked the American Federation of La
bor executive council to reject John
L. Lewis' application for re affiliation
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica with the AFL.
Declaring readmission of the United
Mine Workers would be "constitution
ally impossible" as long the Progres
sive Mine Workers hold an AFL
charter as the only AFL international
mine union, officials of the PMWA
said they were confident the AFL
executive council "would not stoop to
shoddy trickery to void the PMWA
charter."
The letter addressed to the execu
tive council in Washington, was
signed by PMWA President Lloyd A.
Thrush, V i e-P resident William
Cx*ompton and Secretary Treasurer
John Marchiando.
The AFL council is scheduled to
consider the Lewis petition at its next
meeting in August.
Asserting that the 1938 AFL char
ter held by the PMWA guarantees its
jurisdiction and identity as the only
AFL mining union, the letter con
tinued:
"We cannot believe that the AFL
executive council would now shame
lessly disregard principle and permit
the entry into its fold of the high
priest of dictatorial unionism, even
though the organization he (Mr.
Lewis) purports to represent has
much greater numerical and financial
strength than the PMWA.
WORKS FUNDS APPROVED
San Diego, Calif.—Voters here re
cently approved a charter amendment
creating a capital outlay fund which
empowers the city council, by vote of
at least 5 of its 7 members, to levy
and collect assessments or taxes dur
ing any fiscal year for creation of the
fund, thus giving the city authority to
accumulate money for public improve
ment beyond the current budget year.
LAW PROTECTS BULLFROGS
Topeka, Kan.—Bullfrogs now enjoy
the same protection as fish, as the re
sult of recent legislation. The State
Game and Fish Commission is work
ing on regulations governing the
catching of them.
Elks Flag Day Ceremony
In cooperation with the Veterans'
of Foreign Wars the B. P. O. Elks,
No. 93, of Hamilton will hold the
Elks' Flag Day ceremony, on High
street side of the court house. Herb
Getz, is chairman of the occasion.
