Courts. Justict Clark thought. were

reluctance of laboring men as indi-

Elderly Men on Bench.
My observation is said Justice
slow to adopt progressive economic
ideas in advance of legislation. Courts
ordinarily are compos OF elderly
men. Most OF them. 5 lawyers. have
been employed by great corporations.
and when they reach the bench they
are unconsciously biased by the views
they held at the bar.
How can that be modified?
"Only by the slow process of educa :
ton and development Of public opin-
ion AS older men pass away their
places on the bench may be taken by
younger men imbued with progressive
ideas of the time"
Justice Clark disagreed with the prin-
ciple underlying the Danbury hatters

the same right to organize as capital
has, and declared there is no reason
why labor should be held collectively

A Cause of Unrest.
"Usurpation Of power by the courts or
any department of government, Judge
Clark held, in response to questions by
Commissioner Lennon. to be 'Justifiabie
cause for unrest among any sovereign

Judge Clark contended economic in
terest of lawyers in extending the de-
lays of the law" was one of the prln-
cipaI causes of delays of justice which
often becomes denial of justice
Can that not be cured by legisla-

Every time any such legislation ap

state legislature or in Congress, there
are lobbyists at work to defeat any
proposals that Wouiu deprive oeicHu

the lobbyists are not in the LOBBY.
Many are in the seats of the House and

Referring to court decisions against
