FOR LEGAL REFORMS

The Bar. the official journal of the
West Virginia Bar Association. Is
pounding away on reforms of proce-
dures which 1t has been advocating
for some time past. and which. IL con-
summated. would be OF distinct bere-
fit TO litigants in cost and conserve
the time of the courts The Bar be-
lieyes these reforms to be within the
power and provence OF judges and law
yers. on their own initiative, IL so
defects complained of in the admins
tration of our courts. without the aid
OF any legislation. In other words. It
says. 1t would be possible and prac-
ucable for the county bar association
Of any county to enact. adopt and
print revised practice and proce-
dure made specially to expedite and
reduce the cost of litigation. which
need not come in conflict with any
statute. and would by agreement be-
come just as binding upon the bar of
that county as II It had legislative
sanction"
The Bar then cites examples OF its
meaning. and cites the case OF Ohio
county in substantiation OF the feast
bility OF its suggestions. recalling to
mind that during the incumbency OF
the late Judge Thayer Melvin. of this
county. that the Wheeling bar had a
very pretentious printed volume regu-
lating the practice and procedure OF
that court which was original and To-
cal and which the legislature never
saw. but was entirely the product OF
the Judge and members OF that bar.
This arrangement The Bar does not
doubt served to expedite and improve
practice and procedure. II is a mat
ter that is OF interest to the public as
well as of concern to the legal fra
ternity. and The Bar is doing a good
work in its insistent advocacy OF re-
form.

SIGNIFICANT SECRECY

The personal hippodrome conduct
ed by Chairman Walsh in the name OF
the Federal Commission on Industrial
Relations is evidently in bad with the
President. as he has declined to fur
nish the Commission with copies Of
the correspondence between himself
and Governor Ammons. OF Colorado,
which had been requested by the Com
mission TO complete its record" Of its
Investigation into the Colorado coal
strike. Judging from the dogEiatic
manner in which Chairman Walsh
has been airing himself In public on
this matter. and consigning John ID.
Rockefeller to the Ananias Club, Il
was a fair presumption that Mo.
Walsh spoke by the record. and that
1t was complete. The Presidents de-
cision that he did not deem Il advis-
able to give publicity to the letters is
significant. II also indicates a cool
ing OF the Presidents first enthusi-
asms about "pitfless publicity" which
in this case must be translated into
the reversion OF significant secrecy.

movement as long as distillery stocks
