ness-Hearings Adjourned
Sine Die.
WANTS ALL TO GO ARMED

TIE hearings conducted by the
Federal Commission on Industrial Rela-
tons was adjourned without delay late
yesterday afternoon.
Theodore Schroeder, attorney for the
Free Speech League of New York. ad-
Vanced some entirely nav and startling
remedies for social betterment
lie said that he agreed for the most
part with Big Bill Haywood as the
ultimate relief. He declared that while
we boosted that the United States was
the land of free speech, we had a great
er variety OF penalties against free speech
I'm Federal and State laws in the United
States than in any other country in the
world in the history of the world.
Mr.. Schroeder advised the passage of
laws requiring judges to refrain from
quoting other judges opinions in stat
ing their decisions of cases and adhere to
the case before them. He would abolish
all criminal libel laws. The witness COM
pared the conviction of Tanenbaum and
his sentence to prison and fine with the
penalty imposed in the sugar fra uds
cases He estimated that the prison SEN
tence of Tanenbaum was longer than that
of the sugar frauds convicts.
What sentence would you have i'm
posed In the case of Tanenbaum"" Mr.
Schroeder was asked.
that the man committed no offense ex-
cept to apply to a church for work and
the privilege of sleeping in the church.
Would Impose No Sentence.
What sentence would you have i'm
posed upon the suGar-fraud men," he
was asked.
II do not believe ] would have imposed
any" he replied. Mr.. Schroeder init
mated that the men higher up ought to
answer for the crimes OF the men con-
victed in the sugar-fraud cases.
You have testified. I believe. that
while YOU are lawyer YOU do not prac-
tice for pay. but have competency"
suggested Mr.. Harrison.
Yes. | am parasite to the extent
probah bly, of bricklayers wage" replied
Mr. Schroeder.
Mr.. Schroeder said the constitutional
right of the people freely TO carry arms
and TO advocate resistance to government
should he given legislative and judicial
sanction. Courts ought to give the same
protection to human rights as TO property
rights: remove postal censorship and
give free transmission through the mails
of ideas: refrain from 'superstitious
reverence for the courts and unca nonize
the Judges
Following the testimony of Mr.
Schroeder. the commission heard Samuel
Gompers. who reviewed the trial Of him
self and his associates in the American
Federation of Labor.

At the breakfast in the MCAlpin the

Eighteenth street. a further prolon-
cation of the tracks on Seventeenth street
south from Pennsylvania avenue to reach
Potomac Park should also be considered.
II further believes that one east and
west street in the business section Of
the city should remain free for all time
from railway tracks. whether that street
be II or |.
II also indorses any plan that can be
worked out by extensions of tracks
or enrouting of cars that will relieve the
city of the growing menace of the death
trap" created by the numerous tracks
now on New y DIRK avenue between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets and Four
teenth street between + and III streets
Provided always that no extensions be
granted to either company solely az COM
petiny lines. but that the commission
should at this time in the consideration
Of these proposed extensions anticipate
the consolidation and merging of the two
street railway systems. sooner or later
to become an accomplished fact. and au-
thorize only that trackagc that will be
then required and disable for the con-
veniencc of the public under such con-
Fsolidation.
The federation further insists that
very special reason should appeal to the
commission why at this time all trsckage
extensions voluntarily offered by the
companies should be encouraged. and
that is the employment of those now out
OF work. many of whom unwillincly have
become a burden upon the charity of the
city.
Much of the money spent in these eX
tensions would go where it is sorely
needed. and 5000 poured into the ar
teries of trade in the District this sum
mer would make its blood flow much
richer and quicker
Finally. the federation believes that
the commission. advised az 1t is by en-
sineers competent. fair and painstaking
in their investigation of this tTansporta
ton problem. can be expected to decide
this question of additional traCkage and
lines wisely and well. giving the right
of way first and always 10 the require
ments and needs OF the travelling public
with every possible encOura cement to
the companies in their endeayor to fulfill
the atoms of their charters.
