TENEMENT HOUSE LAW ARGUED AGAINST
COUNSEL. FOR BUILDERS CONTENDS THAT IT Is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Argument was heard yesterday before Justice
O'Gorman. in Part l of the Supreme Court In the
suits begun to test the validity Of the Tene-
injunctions restraining the Buildings Department
from interfering with the construction of thirteen
tenement houses were granted, aud the motion
gued was to make those injunctions permanent
J. Charles Weschler. counsel for the petitioners
declared that the Tenement House law provided
that all persons who had permits to erect buildings
prior 10 June l could only build under the old law
If they had completed the structure up the first
tier of beams by August J. In all the he rep
resented he said, the work had been begun before
June !. that the delay in completing the work
quired by the section due beyond
the control of the builders. and contrac-
tors and that the enforcement OF the section would
be harsh and unjust The deprivation of the rights
Of his clients TO carry ont the plans adopted by
them and approved by the Buildings Department
prior to the passage of the law amounted to
tack the vested rights of property owners. If
for other reason. he held the law unconsttu-
tional.
Charles J. McCaffert and S. J. Parmenter, Of the
Corporation Counsels office. appeared for the law
in opposition to the application for the injunction.
They said the papers submitted do show that
any attempt has been made to comply with the
law, that the Legislature well within jurls-
diction In passing the law. that the law
stitutional, and that any damage the petitioners
sustained or might sustain due to their
failure to comply with the terms of the law.
Doesn't IL seem that the law is little harsh
where II fnterferes with vested rights said JUS
tice O'Gorman The petitioners show that the de-
lays due TO circumstances over which they
had no control The Legislature in the exercise OF
police rights should avoid unnecessary harshness.

THE DAYS OrERATIONs IN STOCKS.

Stock market trading was again exceedingly
light a rising movement of values. In a num-

of business was transacted. but in the greater
part Of the list there almost nothing done.

chief part of the days operations, while the
more important price changes made by

While there was no active commission house de-

substantial interests, both for investment and
speculative account In the last few weeks large
amounts of attractive securities have been
taken out Of the Street by genuine investors and
a steady accumulation OF stocks by important
speculative interests has been made.
Further quiet buying of good industrials was
noted international, Pump was taken by an
excellent class of buyers. and there were mod
crate dealings in International Paper common
