Constant Strikes
Affect Contracts
In Silk Trade
Responsibility of Manufact-
urer for DELAYED Deliv-
cry Set Forth by Official
Organ of Silk Association

The constant occurrence of strikes in
various centres of the silk manufact-
uring industry has so seriously af-
fected the fulfilment of contracts be-
tween buyers and sellers that the Silk
Association has sought, through legal
advice, to clarity the situation as it
affects existing contracts In the Oc-
tober issue of "Silkworm," the official
publication of the association, is set
forth the opinion of counsel on the
subject.
A short delay IN the delivery of
merchandise. according to THE Silk
worm," caused by strike does not
relieve the seller from carrying out
his contract. On the other hand,
delay may be so protracted as to be
interpreted fairly as terminating the
contract.
where a man contracts .unquali-
ficdly to deliver goods on a certain
day" "The Silkworm" continues, "a
strike, fire, act of God or other causes
beyond his control will not excuse de-
lay or non performance. To provide
against such q contingency some clause
must be expressly or impliedly writ
ten into the contract, so that the OBJ
legation does not continue an abso-
lue one in the event of interferences
of causes beyond mans control.
ut is for this reason that the Silk
Association has included among It's
rules to govern transactions between
buyers and sellers OF broad silks The
rule which reads:
"'Seller shall not be liable because
OF late or n-delivery due to strikes,
fires or other causes beyond his von-
troll"
"Where this clause is applicable the
legal responsibility for delay which
ne is powerless to prevent.
"Of course, where some cause be-
yond control results IN an eXcusable
delay" "The Silk Worm" adds, "an
embarrassing question frequently
arises as to the obligation to resume
deliveries after such & delay. Such
cases will have to be governed by sur
rounding circumstances Where a
short delay is caused b. q strike the
parties are under obligation to re-
sumo when that cause is removed, but
4 delay may be so protracted as to be
fairly interpreted as a termination Of
the contract, it being borne in mind
that the lapse of time may so alter
the circums tances as to make it in
equitable to require either party to
resume performance: Whether three
months, six months or year would
be the test depends upon the condi-
tons of the trade and what would be
reasonable, under all the circum-
stances, to require the parties to do.
"Where delay is very long it would
be advisable fer them to reach def
mite understanding as to whether they
desired to hold to their contract. But
II must be also borne in mind that
where party is attempting to excuse
delay OIL account of interference bv a
cause beyond his control he must show
that the delay is due to that cause and
cannot excuse any longer delay than
directly results therefrom."

District Attorney
Says He Won't Act
On Lane Charges
Governor Runyon of New
jersey Says He Also Will
ignore Alleged Marital
Difficulties of Lawyer

District Attorney Swami and Gov
ernor Rvnyon, of New Jersey, both
washed sheir hands yesterday Of re-
sponsiblity for further inquiry into re-
ports in circulation concerning J. Mer-
rltt Lane, former Vice Chancellor in
New Jersey. Mr.. Lane maintained
silence concerning the reports. which
were started by woman, who asserts
he was married TO her at the time of
ms marriage to the daughtr of Su-
preme Court Justice Charles Garrison.
OF New Jersey, and that later another
ceremony was performed IN Connecti-
cut
Although Mr.. Lane was credited YES
terday by The Newark News" wit h
declaring that he would have his say"
when developments in the situation
We're complete, there was no such prom-
lSe IN statement he gave out in
,hc Chancery Court in Newark, where
hc was appearing as counsel in p caeo
That statement follows:
he greatest task | have ever a.
sumed Is to keep silence now. The an
parent injustice to members of my
1amlly and those who have been and
may wish TO continue to be nv friends
make 1t hard. Nevertheless. have
elected my course and shall persist in
1t unless and until my judgment other
wise Dictates"
Governor Runyon's announcement
came after a conference with Chan
cellor Edwin Il. Walker He said that
80 lar as ne was concerned there was
no question of removing Mr.. Lane from
the Office of advisory master in chan.
Gerry which he now holds. If anv such
question arose, Governor Runvon said
It would be for Chancellor Walker 10
decide ~
IN announcing that no basis for fur
ther action by his Office was apnaront.
District Attorney Swami took occasion
TO comment upon the marriage law Of
Connecticut which, he said, prevents
prosecution for bigamy unless the per
sons accused have lived in that state
as man and wife.
"A man AND woman, both of them
married" said Mr. Swami. can 90 10
Connecticut and marry each other and
although neither has been divorced
from his original marital partner. they
cannot be prosecuted for bigamv un-
less they ived in that/state as man
and wife. They could come to New
lork after the ceremony and live here
and we could not prosecute them for
pigamy, FOR under Connecticut law thev
are nor guilty of that offence and we
would have noeurisdiction.
SOUTH NORWALK, Conn. Sept. 2s
y oseph NJ. Lane and his wife lived
mere mere for year. Their home was
luxurious. Mr.. Lane was at home only
at intervals. and neighbors believed
that his brokerage business kept him
in New York.

that she is the legal wife Of Mr.. Lane.
said the man who married her did so
under the name of Joseph NJ. Lane.
l ne hrst ceremony, she said, took place
IN Buffalo, n. Y, prior to the divorce

ciared, was performed in Stamford.
