UNION FIGHTS
_
Says ‘Threatens Art
Of Music With De-
basement’
NEW YORK—OF)—The American
Federation of Musicians will oppose
substitution of machines that syn-
chronize words and music with ac-
tion on the screen for personal ap-
pearances Joseph N. Weber presi-
dent declares. In the judgment of
the federation such machines
“threaten the art of music with de-
basement.”
Dues of the musicians’ union
which has a membership of 158.0UU
were raised at its recent convention
to provide $1500000 more a year for
a “defense fund." Weber under-
stands that about 200 theaters are
now equipped with the machines and
that 1000 more are preparing to in-
stall them.
‘‘We are not opposed to talking
movies because we realize that syn-
chronization of words with actions
on the screen is a scientific accom-
plishment of value” says Weber.
“But if the machines are used as a
substitute for vocal and orchestral
music in the theaters they will be-
tural growth and just at a time
when America has achieved rank as
the world center of music.
“Music at its best reflects the
mood of the artist. You cannot
mechanize an art.
"If machine-made music displaces
i tnousands of players and singers
the individual’s incentive to perfect
himself will be minimized and mu-
sic will no longer have the cultural
value it now possesses. Any art is
dependent upon the number of its
enthusiastic executants and if their
activity is restricted by competition
with machine productions in time
their number will be greatly re-
duced.”
The organized musicians plan a
s vey to discover the reaction of
theater patrons.

governor for the same reason that
it omitted Love’s name.
The only appeal is to the supreme
court and to facilitate such an ap-
peal both sides agreed today to
waive the customary two weeks’ no-
tice for a motion for a rehearing.
Decision Unanimous
The decision which was fully con-
curred in by the justices recognized
the “right of any American citizen
to change his political theories and
party affiliations’’ but declared
that “when such a change is contem-
plated justice to his former party
demands that he should not seek its
honors or emoluments." The opin-
ion was written by Chief Justice W.
S. Fly.
Discussing a candidate’s abliga-
tions to his party the opinion said:
"He cannot weaken or destroy his
moral and legal obligations to sup-
port the nominee for president and
vice president named by the nation-
al democracy by crossing his fingers
at the time he signs the pledge aft-
erwards remarking in an undertone
T will not vote for A1 Smith if he
is nominated.’
“By no such quibbling’’ the court
continues “mental reservation or se-
cret evasion can a man absolve him-
self from a solemn pledge voluntar-
ily made.
Cannot Chain Loyalty
“To uphold such a doctrine” the
opinion continues “would make a
football of the statutory pledge and
piace disloyalty upon a pedestal.”
Touching Love’s affiliation with
the democratic party the ruling
says:
"Affiliation Is an alliance with an
institution or organization and he
cannot claim affiliation with a party
who is organizing and working
against the nominees and seeking to
elect nominees of an opposing party.
Supporting the nominees is the su-
preme test of party affiliation.”
The court then holds that Love
should have had his name removed
from the party consideration after
the Beaumont convention.
No Censure for Bolter
“W hen Love took the vow of loy-
alty to the nominee of the demo-
cratic party in order to enter a pri-
mary as a delegate to the state con-
vention at Beaumont he had everv
reason to believe that Governor
Smith of New York would be the
democratic nominee for president
and if his conscience demanded that
he should rot vote for him he
should not have taken the vow but
in honor and good faith would have
had his name removed from the
state ticket and affiliated with the
party whose national nominee he is
working. That action would have
met the demands of his conscience
and removed him frbm a position
subjecting him to just criticism.
“It is not the intention of this
court to censure and criticize the
actions of those who have been dem-
ocrats but now forsake the party
and enter the ranks of the republi-
can party but its opinion is con-
fined and restricted to the case now
under consideration and cases of
like character which may arise here-
after.
Upholds Committee
“This court will not lend itself to
any far-fetched construction of the
powers of the state executive com-
mitee as would deprive the constit-
uent committees of the party of de-
fense against any fraud attempted
to be perpetrated on the loyal mem-
bers of the party*. This court is not
prepared to hold that the democratic
executive committee of Cameron
county cannot in self-defense and in
defense of its loyal democratic con-
stituency refuse to place on its pri-
mary ticket the names of men seek-
ing office while admitting that they
have violated their obligations of
loyalty to the party and intend to
carry their disloyalty to the extent
of combining with the arch enemies
of democracy in defeating its high-
est candidate and thereby cause
demoralization if not disintegration
of the party.”
Many Counties
To Bar Bolters
The decision of the Fourth court
of civil appeals will result in the
name of Thomas B. Love being ruled
off the ballot in one-third of the
counties V. W. Taylor Cameron
county chairman stated following
receipt of a telegram announcing the
decision of the court. Judge Taylor
received letters from a number of
county chairmen stating they were
awaiting the outcome of the test
case before ordering the ballots
printed.
£ exporters of Love in Cameron
county have announce^ that a “pen-
cil campaign" will be inaugurated
and the anti-Smith voters urged to
write in the name of the Dallas can-
did.*’ on the official ballot. This
campaign it was stated would be
earned into all other counties where
the name of Mr. Love is ruled off.
Believing that the decision of the
Fourth court of civil appeals is
final Judge V. W. Taylor county
chairman today ordered the ballots
printed with Love's name omitted.
The state election law prescribes
that ballots must be availble for the
county clerk by July 18 in order
to take care of the absentee voting.
The type for the Cameron county
ballot was ready merely awaiting
the order of the county chairman to
start the press. Ballots will be de-
livered to the county clerk Wed-
nesday.

his message of treason to Houston
and this act alone would nullify any
party pledge" he shouted.
“When Al Smith in his message to
the Houston convention said that he
would point the way to modification
of the liquor law he then became a
traitor to the constitution of the
United States. You talk about moral
courage why Smith is a man of im-
moral courage and unfit to be the
democratic nominee” Collins thun-
dered.
“It took us prohibitionists 100 years
to accomplish our purpose and it will
take Al Smith and his cohorts of non-
English speaking people a million
years to repeal the eighteenth
amendment 'iheir only recourse is
to nullify the law. It has been up-
held by the supreme court but lis-
ten. most of our high court justices
are aged men and if Al Smith is
elected the next supreme courtwill
be an "Al Smith court" and they will
interpret this law the way Al Smith
wants it interpreted” Collins charg- I
ed.
Committees Named
"A man who will strike down the
eighteenth amendment also will
strike down section three article six
of the constitution that which deals

shouted.
After the address of Collins the

of Simmons university Abilene was
unanimously elected permanent chair-
man; Alvin Moody of Houston vice

DALLAS July 1".—(P)—Declaring
that any man who would strike down
the eighteenth amendment also would
strike down section 3 article 6 of
the constitution pertaining to reli-
gious freedom former State Senator
V. A. Collins of Dallas in his open-
ing speech before the anti-Smith con-
vention here today urged every dem-
ocratic voter in Texas to vote for
Herbert Hoover for president and re-
pudiate “the powers of iniquity.”
“I don’t know if there still is a Ku
i Klux Klan organization in Texas"
said Mr. Collins “but if they are op-
posed to Al Smith 1 wish there were
10 million of them in the state.”
The speaker reiterated the fact
that the organization meeting today
was interested only in the forming of
a state-wide campaign to bring about
the defeat of the democratic nom-
inee. “We are not promoting any
candidate for state office” he de-
clared.
Mr. Collins based his assertion
that Governor Smith would carry
only the counties nominally republi-
can upon his opinion that most of the
voters in those counties were “wet.”
The few republican counties in the
state have little voting strength he
said. They are on the Mexican bor-
der.
“Anti-Al Smith Democrats” was
chosen as the official name of the
organization shortly before the noon
recess.

Day’s Trade Shows De-
clines of 12 to 14
Net Points
NEW ORLEANS July 17.—
Continued favorable crop reports
and relatively easy Liverpool cables
seemed responsible for an early de-
cline of practically $1 a bale in the i
cotton market today.
First trades showed losses of 7 to
11 points and although the initial
decline was soon recovered on cov-
ering by shorts the market turned
easy again and October sold off to
20.67 or 21 to 22 points net down.
At the end of the first half hour
the market was weak and prices
tended downward
The market continued on the down-
grade all morning under persistent
liquidation by longs who were in-
duced to reverse their position by
.favorable weather and crop advices. I
October ultimately sold down to
20.50 and December 20.43 or 27 to
28 points under yesterday's close.
Near mid-session liquidation ap-
peared to have been absorbed and
prices rallied 8 to 10 points on cov-
ering by shorts.
Cotton futures closed steady at a
net decline of 12 to 14 points.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK July 17.—t/P>—'The
cotton market opened steady at a
decline of 1 to 12 points which was
only a partial response to the ca-
bles. as there was some buying on
reports of rains in Mississippi and
covering in belief that the recent
break had strengthened the techni-
cal position.
Prices worked up a few points
but the advance to 21.34 for October
met increased offerings arjd the
market soon eased off under a re*
newal of liquidation. October de-
clined to 21.15 a net loss of 20
points and the market was nervous
and unsettled at the end of the first
hour.
Liquidation continued with the
market under considerable pressure
later in the morning. Tired longs
and houses with both Liverpool and
continental connections were among
the sellers. Trade buying and cover-
ing absorbed the contracts on a scale
down but the market remained ner-
vous with the decline extending to
1 21.06 for October or about 25 to 30
points net lower. Prices at midday
were within a point or two of this
level.
Futures closed easy. 12 to 23
points lower: middling 21.50.
