EX-SENATOR CLARK GETS
LIEN on DISTRICT LAND

Justice Hitz of the District Suprsme
Court has decided that William A.
Clark, former senator from Montana,
is entitled to a lien of $17.5o0 onzcer-
tain lands near Congress Heights for
notes Of that amount which the SEN
ator claimed to have lost out of his
pocke cts when laid up in a California
hotel following an automobile acci-
dent several years ago.
The court also found that the claim
of the United States Realty Company
that Senator Clark had agreed to re-
lease the property from the operation
of the notes when certain improve
ments had been made by the company
to adjacent realty had not been es-
tablished sufficiently. Sale of the
real estate was ordered and trustees
appointed by the court.
An appeal has been noted by the
company. After the trust was given
Senator Clark purchased a half in
terest in the land in question and is
now joint owner with the United
States Realty Company.

Full Hearing Accorded.

Postmaster General Burleson ac-
corded the committee full hearing.
At it's close he declared that the wire
control board has kept in close touch
with the situation since the inception
of the attempted strike" and had in
formed him that 1t was thoroughly
without jurisdiction.
He declared that he would not di-
employ persons who went on strike.
as he considered they had left their
work in violation of the rules laid
down by the government Wire Con-
troll Board and the War Labor Board.
The Wire Control Board repeatedly
announced that it's policy was to ad-
here strictly to all rules and regula-
tions prescribed by the War Labor
Board. the Postmaster General said.
Among other rules the labor board
had laid down was one ordering that
the Western Union Company receive
a committee of it's own men who de-
sired to present requests for better
conditions of labor as to hours, com
pensation and otherwise, and that il
an agreement could not be reached the
matter should be referred to the War
Labor Board and the question dis
posed of in accordance with the pro-
cedure provided.
Mr. Burleson stated that he required
the unemployment Of all employees of
the Western Union Company who had
been dismissed solely because of at
filiation with labor organizations. AS
to the Postal Telegraph Company. the
wire control board has Information.
he declared, that shows none of the
discharged employees were dismissed
on account of labor affiliations.
A hint of the strikes failure was
made by Mr.. Burleson in saying that

Because of the bitterness manifest

outspoken conviction. That the devel-

of High Schools, spoke in the same vein
and said that the world must not be

because of any failure of this nation to
shoulder It's responsibilities
George w. Douglas, of the board of
trustees of the university, referred to
the fact that when Germany seized AL
Prussian war, France appealed to the
other nations of the world. including the
United States, for assistance in resisting
the German demands for territory.
The United States ignored the request,
Mr.. Douglas said, on the ground that
1t had no concern with European affairs.
The triumph of loot in 1871, he con-
tinued, laid the foundation for the war
Just ended, in which America was forced
to participate. He said that the refusal
of America to protest in 1871 against
German aggression, made 1t share the
responsibility for permitting conditions
which brought about the war. and that
unless the United States shouldered its
International responsibilities today il
could not escape responsibility for future
wars.

as he spoke and the applause was unani-

the sixty alumni present indorsed the

discharge.
