orous attack against “the interests 01')—
posed to organized labor." in an ad-
dress at an open forum session of the
Connecticut l-‘ederalion of Labor here
yesterday.
Mr. Gonipers scored Chief Justice
'l‘ai't when he referred to a “recent
decision of the l'nited States Supreme
Court," He said the decision “prac-
tically: annulled the Clayton Act." He
said tln- courts which have been issu—
ing injunctions against striking labor
organizations. are “courts of inequity"
instead of courts equity. He declared
that organized labor is ”asking for
more and would continue to ask for
more." He recommended that organ-
ized labor strive for modification of
the Volstead Act. instead of trying to
repeal the Eighteenth Amendment.
lli- described the Congressional farm
bloc as a “financial block."

ticut was represented at the meeting.
