RIGHTEOUS STAND OF THE PRESS

given in the enforced withdrawal of a play at New
York theater because of its alleged immoral tendency

This episode in New York. following the recent os.
tracsm of Nan Patterson will have wholesome effect
in American play production. It gives notice that the
decent American will not tolerate plays that have
corrupting tendency and that a consequence tend
to degrade the drama. Theatrical managers generally
recognize the mpocy of staging such plays as the one
that has been turned down in New York. An immoral
play is likely to draw full audiences in a large city
where the base element of the population is large But

THE DAMAGE SEEKING INDUSTRY

unique line Of fraudulent business has brought
to public notice In New York, and perhaps trace of it
might be found in Los Angeles. Last week alliance
against accident fraud" formed in New York
described union Of electric and street railways acc
dent insurance companies and large employers of labor
for protection from swnders who bring false damage
suits" This protective action had become necessary
stated because getting hurt and securing damages
has developed into lucrative industry"
1t is not only In of actual injury however, that
the fraudulent practice is operated slight injury may
be magnifed particularly by testimony of physician
with flexible conscience and jury is apt to be easily
persuaded that high damage figure should be allowed
But it appears that professional swindlers make bust
of pretending to be hurt by accident, for
instance, and then demanding a cash settlement by
showing what looks like injury but is really
blance made to order.
1t is stated evidence of the extent to which this
kind of fraud is carried in New York. that there
5000 suits for personal injury pending against the
Metropolitan Railway company" Similar complaints
made in other eastern cities and is believed by street
railway managers that the fraud is systematized that
it is followed by swindlers who about from city
to another plying this unique scheme of rascaty.
Is Los Angeles one of the cities in which this fraud
ulent vogue has been introduced?
