With a little of hit old oratori
cal spark Winston Churchill as
leader cf the opposition replied
to toe procram announced by the
labor ministry to meet Britain's
economic crisis. Blaming the so
letalirt government for "their
. wrongful choice in caring more
rfor their party theories and dogma
-than about the revival of our
strength aad the giving of comfort
. nd hope to fo many millions of
cuttages or apartment ' home,'
Churchill declared -there can be
no dispute about socialist failure
or its gravity."
Churchill pounced on the "di
rection of labor" as "the denial
" f the right for many centuries,
deemed fundamental in a democ
racy, except in time of mortal war,
for every man; to choose or change
his employment as he thinks fit."
The conservatives have been
charged with failure to outline a
different policy, and Churchill
proposed a return to the system of
. free competition:
I have but 20 minutes, but even
now in this crisis I will -outline
to you the broad principles which
ahould guide us. The choice
which lies before the British na

is between a system of competitive
selection and a system of compul

are. hard The struggle for life is
unceasing. There . is no easy or
pleasant road. It will be uphill

enterprise and ingenuity, with all
its risks and failures, with all its
unequal prizes and rewards that

Restraints Held
Proper Against
inu-uemocrai
FORT WORTH, Tex., Sept. 8-
fiVThe Taft-Hartley law pro-
i visions requiring labor unions to
! file affidavits that their officers
are not communists was held con
stitutional today by a federal dis
trict judge the first such ruling
made on the new statute.
Judge T. W. Davidson held that
the non-communist provisions
are legal, consistent and proper
and that the union did not have
recourse to the NLRB since the
CIO had hot complied with the
law. i
The ruling was made on a pe
tition by the Oil Workers Inter
national union (CIO) asking that
the court order Edwin A. Elliott,
regional NLRB director, to count
- ballots in an election of workers
company of Wichita Falls, Tex.
"The constitution guarantees a
representative form of govern
. ment," Davidson declared, "and
it is consistent and proper to
' throw restraint around any or-
ganizatinn by denying privileges
i to those who would destroy this
form of government."
Judge Davidson held that by
i failing to comply with the pro-
1 vision of the Taft-Hartley law
wnicn requires ruing or non
communist affidavits, the OWIU
was not eligible for certification
as a bargaining unit.
"Communism is recognized as
not being a representative form
of government," Davidson de
clared. "Communism is more the
dictatorial type."
The OWIU had contended that
its constitution bars communists
from membership and officer po
sitions. Judge Davidson held that the
union was an affiliate of the CIO,
which has not complied with the
law.

Denham that AFL council mem

Fry emphasized that a chance in

Aldermen voting for the change
however, indicated they felt the
manually operated meters . mcf-i

ed, following the meeting, that
since parking meters under any

meter revenue over 18 months,
the estimated $40,000 parking me

budget is not affected. Final pay
ment to a new concern (will come ;
about six months later than final

Franzen said.
Before ordering the change, the
council voted down moves by
Gille and Fry to continue the
Michaels contract or to seek a
90-day extension of the UU1 per
iod during which operation of the
newly installed automatic meters
could be observed. j
Last nighta controversy over
parking meters brought forth
the.-e reports and opinions: j
5 Officers Repaired i 1
Police Chief Frank Minto:
"Parking meters now require if
attention of five police force
members, one of them the full-"1

the others patrolmen who 'spend

Maintenance Man Rojy Morrisf
"Of 1,680 meter maintenance calls
since installation in April, 28 per
cent of meter were j found in
working order, with persons net

Too Many' Protested"
Alderman David' ,0Hara My
principal objection to the present
meters is that they consistently
give less time than the coins
indicate; this city should not be
in the business of gypping its '
citizens." j-
O'Hara and Gille also! asserted
that the city has too many meters
