COURT HOLDSUP
BIG U. S. MORTGAGE
Shipping Board Enjoined
Against the Collection of
$4,000, 900 Foreclosure.

Justice Siddons of the District Su-
preme Court today decided to enjoin
the United States Shipping Board
Emergency Fleet Corporation from
foreclosing a mortgage for $5.O0O.-
Jones Company, shipbuilders of VIII
mlngton. Del. The injunction is to
be effective until the company has
an opportunity to file in the United
States Court of Claims a suit to re-
cover the amount of an award for
compensation due from the United
States. which mmandeered its plant
and the thirty-four ships in progress
of construction when America entered
the war
To aid the company in completing
the vessels the fleet corporation adj
vanced $5,000,00O and took a blanket
mortgage on all the property of the
corporation. The mortgage provided
that 1t might be paid in full or in part
out of the award for compensation.
When the award was announced it
famounted to $7.0o0,0 900, more than
enough to liquidate the debt, but the
fleet corporation claimed the right to
make certain deductions. which were
opposed by the company and which
would bring the net award down below
$4,OO0.000, and was threatening to fore
close the mortgage.
In disposing of the matter Justice
Siddons held that the District Su-
preme Court is without authority to
determine the matter of just COM
pensation, as such claims are against
the fleet corporation in its capacity
as governmental agent. which can
only be sued in the Court of Claims.
The mortgage transaction was with
the company in it's capacity of pri-
vate corporation. and the court took
jurisdiction in reference to it and
directed the injunction to prevent ir-
reparable injury to the corporation.

ASKEXPERT PROBE
0E.)c|TY UTILITIES
Federal Employees Want Bu-
reau of Standards to Study
Gas and Other Rates.

The United States bureau of
standards may take a hand in the
public utilities question in the Dis
trict this fall. if plans being worked
out by the four local unions Of the
National Federation Of Federal EN-
ployes materialize.
1t is likely that experts of the
bureau Of standards will be asked by
the special utilities committee of the
four local unions, under auspices of
the national federation, to undertake
the scientific investigation of gas
rates here, electricity rates, street car
problems and other problems of SIM
liar nature.
Urges Separate CommissiOn.
The special utilities committee.
headed by jeremiah Connolly. is in
favor of a separate utilities commits
sion for the District. to be entirely
distinct from the board Of District
Commissioners.
It is realized. however. that special
investigations must be gone into
the committee with a view to getting
1t introduced into Congress. Special
aid will be given the utilities COM
mittee Of the unions by the officers of
the national federation, in this regard.
Scientific Study Lacking.
But there remain the large prob
lens of the equity and justice Of in
creases in rates of various kinds, and
it is the belief of Mr.. Connolly that
to date no really scientific investi-
cations of such demands have been
made.
It is for this reason, it is under
stood. that experts Of the bureau of
standards will be asked to- take a
hand in the question.

.FORcOMM||SS|ONER !
Bipartisan Selection for Of
flee Rests With the
President.

| Any appointments that President
Wilson may. make to fill the two
vacancies on the board Of District
firmed by the republican Senate.
Should the President appoint two
democrats, or one democrat and a
near" republican who did not meet
the desires Of the republicans, the
chances are that the appointments
would not be confirmed. In the past
lit has been the custom-a kind Of
unwritten law-that one of the civil
Commissioners of the District should
be republican and the other a DEM
tocrat. But since the advent of Pres
ident Wilson. this has not. always
been a guiding factor in making ap-
pointmentS.
Tho appointments cannot, of course,
be submitted to the Senate until after
that body meets in December. In the
meantime the appointees will serve un-
der recess appointments. Unless they
are confirmed by the Senate, they would
go out Of office with the expiration Of

power, it is likely that other appointees
will be selected.
Active Under Taft.
When President Taft was serving his
last few months in tho White House the
democrats refused to permit his ap-
pointees to be confirmed, and cleared
the decks SO that President Wilson
might make the appointments when he
assumed office. President Taft had ap-
pointed Capt. James F. Oyster as the
a tSfy hIrf
that appointment the Senate failed to
confirm, because Of the attitude of the
democratic senators, along with other
appointments.
The District commissionerships may
not be placed in the category Of fat"
jobs. They pay only $4,000 salary. But
the Office bears considerable. honor.
It is not inconceivable that the re-
publicans may take 1t into their heads
to keep these jobs along with others
for distribution by republican Pres
ident if the election goes with them
in November. 1t is generally admitted
that a republican success means that
the republican Senate will fail to con-
Arm further appointments by the
democratic President.

Alabama Coal Miners
Make Plans to Effect

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, September -

Alabama division. United Mine Work

union omcials on plans for carving
OUT the general strike in the local
nelds ordered yesterday by JOHN l..
Lewis. national president of the or
ganization.
The order for a general strike i'm
this state did not occasion any sur
prise in Industrial circles. Hundreds
Of miners have already quit their
jobs and several of the mines have
oeen smut down for more than a
month. partly because. of the walkout
and partly on account of the short
age of cars.
Last May. following the award Of
the Presidents coal commission, Ala
pama operators posted in their mines
notices containing an outline of a
plan for Industrial shop councils"
which We're to have general SUPER
vision over hours. wages and work
ing conditions. The plans provided
for representation of workers in the
councils. Union leaders annompceS
they would not approve the plan be-
cause it did not contain a statement
recognizing the union. They also
charged the councils would be
packed" with representatives of the
operators.
On May approximately 1000 min
ers walked out. Their ranks were in
creased gradually and at present
about 5000 are on strike. Twenty
thousand men are employed in the
local fields.
A month ago coal operators started
proceedings to get possession of COM
pany houses occupied by the strik
ers. Several thousands OF these cases
are still in the courts on appeals the
men claiming their wages were held
back by the companies when they
walked out and refusing to vacate
the houses until they are paid OFF. The
coal companies claim the men broke
their contracts by quitting work.
Striking miners have received lib
eral support from their local end ma
tional organizations. Operators claim
the production has not decreased since

to show it is greater than at this
