BANKRUPTCY LAW
Changes FavOred-Speaker Says bis
charge Should BE Granted as
Reward of Merit.

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The ma
tional bankruptcy law was warmly
defended at the fall meeting and din
ner of the New York Credit Men S
association held here tonight. Judge
Charles M. Hough of the United
States district court pointed out why
a bankruptcy law is essential for the
proper protection of debtors and
creditors alike, and then proceeded
to indicate some of the betterments
that may be profitably added to the
present statute.
There is no such thing, he said,
"as a statute that is just right at the
beginning, and this applies to the
bankruptcy act as well as to all other
laws. Statutes can only be bettered
by observation, and in this connection
would suggest three changes OF
amendments. These include uniform
ity of application of the law to all
corporations; more expeditions
control of bankrupts' affairs by local
creditors, and an Improvement in the
matter of discharges of debtors. Dis
charges ought to be reward OF
merit, SO to speak, and should be re-
garded as a privilege"

Union Ordered to Pay Damages.

Seattle, Wash, July 3.-Even
though not incorporated, labor un-
ions may be held responsible for
damages inflicted as organizations,
according to the ruling in the Federal
District Court here Saturday. The
question was raisec in the suit of d.
E. Johnson, a printer, who was
awarded $500 damages against Sc
attic Typographical Union, No. 202.
Johnson was expelled from the Se-
attic Union for an infaction of the
rules. BY reason of i:s status he was
forced to surrender good position
and was unable to obtain work in Sc
attic. AS result he went to Los
Angeles and accepted position in a
non-union office. johnson considered
himself humilis:ed and damaged in
such degree that he sued the union
for 100000 damages. The suit was
resisted on the ground that the union
was not incorporated. The defend
ants also deturred to individual suits
on the ground that an organization
was the fender. .
