ROAD BUILDING
Court of Appeals Approves Re
verting to Original Purpose.

MARYLAND state roads funds to the
amount of over 5000. 600, which had ap-
parently been lost to highway improve
ment, after beng appropriated for this
purpose, will revert to their originally
intended uses as a result of an opinion
in the Maryland Court of Appeals, at
Annapolis. The decision of the court
was embodied in a percuriam, or short
opinion, in which no detailed reasons
Tor the courts ruling were set forth.
However, as is usual in percuriam
rulings, the announcement was made
that a full exposition of the conclusions
of the court will be filed later. 1t was
because Of the pressing desire of the
Maryland State Roads Commission for
decision that the opinion was filed
briefly and so quickly.
The suit was the outgrowth OF a
reversal OF $207, coo Of the funds of the
Site Roads Commission to the general
treasury in 1915 of Governor Harrington.

expected balances of the commission fer
several past years. At the end of the
fiscal year Of 1915 there was a deficit in
the state treasury, and Comptroller
Harrington ordered the reversal into
the treasury of all unexpected balances
OF. the several state departments, hop
ing thus TO relieve to some extent the
states financial condition.
Meanwhile the State Roads Com
mission proceeded with the giving out
OF contracts to cover the amount of its
uneXpended accumulated balances,
which the members thought was still on
the books to its credit. 1t was only
several months ago that the order of
reversal was learned by the commits
sion.

OUR LABOR UNIONS
Editor Frey Declares Trade:
Unions Fighting For Democ-
racy In Industry.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.-While. we
are fighting as a nation for the es-
tablishing of democracy in the civil
lied nations of the earth, we must
not forget that, specifically, our trade
unions are fighting for democracy in
industry" writes Editor Frey in the
International holders Journal.
1.-THE trade unions holds that no
employer has any more right to die
tate the rules under which labor must
work and the terms Of employment,
than the autocrat has to determine
the laws under which his subjects
must live and labor. In a democracy,
all of the people are given a right to
participate in the government, and in
industry the same principle should
apply-all of the workers should have
a right to participate in the deter
mination of the shop laws and rules
which are to govern them and the
terms of their employment.
LAS wage earners we cannot for
ever remain political sovereigns and
industrial subjects

CAN FORCE MEN TO
LABOR IN MARYLAND
Governor Empowered To Assign
Workers Without Their
H.: Consent.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. 9.-Gover-
nor Harrington has signed the COM
pulsory work act. passed at the recent
session Of the Maryland legislature.
This law is declared ito be an
emergency law and necessary for the
Improvement and, preservation Of the
public safety" It provides for the
state between the ages Of 18 and so
years who are not regularly employed.
The governor can then assign these
workers, regardless of their wishes, to
state, county or municipal work, or to
occupation carried on by private per-
sons, firms or corporations, whether
agricultural, industrial or otherwise.
Police officials are charged to "con-
tinue to seek diligently the names
and residences Of all able bodied male
persons who have not registered and
who have no continuous employment.
These shall be arrested, fined not
more than $50 and assigned to work
by the governor.
Any person who disagrees with this
Prussian idea and refuses to work un-
der conditions arbitrarily imposed by
the governor or his subordinates is liza
bic to a $500 fine and six months i'm
prisonment, or both.
If an employer wishes to take ad-
vantage of this forced labor legisla-
ton he must execute a bond with the
state as a guarantee that he will pay
wages regularly. Wage rates shall not
be less than those paid to others en-
gagged in the same nature of work to
which each such person is assigned"
This makes the state sole judge Of
whether union rates or the varying
non-union rates in communities shall
be the standard.
The provisions of the act do not
apply Ito persons temporarily I'M
employed by reason Of differences
with their employers This means
that strikers are not placed in the
unemployed list, but the governor is
| not prohibited from ordering other
| unemployed, under failure Of fine and
| imprisonment, to take the places of
strikers 'for the protection and well
| fare Of the state.''
The law does not apply to any sea-
sonal trade or occupation carried on
in Baltimore city or Allegany county,
| These two localities are. the best or
ganized in the state.

WANTS BAR CLOSED

Mayor Thompson to thdraw the sa-
loon and amusement licenses of the
Bismarck Garden is being circulated
by members of the Walters union.
TO quote from the petition:
''The reason for making this de-
mand is that Ethel Bros, have and
are now importing colored strike
breakers to take the place of white
men now on strike, which may re-
suit in race riots, and disturb the
peace of the respectable neighborhood
of the north side :residence district of
Chicago" :7>'. ="
The Walters union has been on
strike at the Bismarck Garden for
several months and there have been
numerous clashes between members of
the union and the non-union men

Indictment against flats and tenements

birth rate is very low in flats, it is
stated. One building of sc apartments

Housing laws and building codes
are essentially different but are often
confused. Building codes concern
themselves with the construction OF
buildings and prescribe the kind, quail

in their erection. Housing laws are
designed to protect the health of those

Alfred Noycs. who failed to qualify for
admission to the British army because of
defective cycsight decided TO do his bit by
describing some Of the German horrors on
the sea. Such work is as important as
fighting in the trenches, for il is necessary
that the Entente Allies should have a fun
realization Of the kind Of an enemy they
are confronted with Mr. Noyos went out
in the British trawlers that are sweeping
the seas for submarines and saw at first
hand the tragedies Of the deep He has had
access to all the records of attack upon mer-
chant ships. out of this data and this
knowledge he has written a little book. in
which he has described just what happened
when the submarines fired their shells or
their torpedOeS on unarmed vessels and
compelled the passengers and crew TO take
TO the sea i'm open boats. II is a record Of
Callous disregard for international law and
Of indifference to the common humanities
that can be excused on no preteXt what
socvcr. Full detailed reports Of the whole
proceeding will be published when the war
is over and historians will consult them
But Mr.. Noyes's little book will probably
