End Member for Christiansted Town
TCGnegntG remarked: Mr.. Chairman.
| wish to say so far as have heard
from LIST Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District [Stakemann] and 1st Mem
Der for Frederiksted Country District
[Andersen] | am in sympathy with what
they have said, and so far where | am
concerned | think it would be best to
have one judge for this island and if. the
members of the Colonial Council would al
WAYS stand for their rights as they are
doing today | believe we would have
nothing to fear.
End Appointed Member [NoU] remark
ed: Mr.. Chairman. do not care to
make any remarks which might be con
sidered uncomplimentary, | like to speak
on friendly terms. 1t seems to mt that
no effort was made to influence this
Council. 1t is al very well to quote the
Congressional Commission report, but it
must be taken into consideration that
this Council has not the jurisdiction to
create an appeal court. Let us go fur
Their than the Congressional Commission
report, | have heard several speak about
it, but | have not heard any one say that
the moral of the people of this island is
at a very low ebb, neither have | heard
anything SalQ 'OOuC uOlng SnuleLnlng 10
remedy it, The organization which is
presented to this Council will give US the
highest degree of efficiency with very
little cos. It happens that | know the
cause of the conflict. and the man who is
behind it does not want a trial by jury
here nor in St. Thomas. say we should
have here the courts we are having IL the
United States in the Virgin Islands, and
one man says we should not. This Council
has not the power to bring a judge from
Porto Rico here to sit on appeal cases.
What the people Of this island want is to
stay where we are, and | for one do not
feel that such a condition should exist.
Gentlemen ] am not going to talk any
more; we are offering you nothing but
what you had before; we are offering you
laws just as you would find from Mexico
to South America; 1t is for you gentlemen

red in the words spoken by the last
speaker.
The Chairman remarked: Honorable
Members if there is no objection | will
proceed Ito call out the sections. i think
there has been sufficient discussion. AS
regards arguments as to whether there
should be one or two police judges no
amendment has been handed, the only
amendment before me is to section IL.
Accordingly the Chairman proceeded
to call out the sections with the follow
ing results:
Sections ] to IL No objection.
Ii with amendment as proposed.
The Chairman read the amendment
and said: My first duty is to place the
amendment before you for a vote as to
whether it should be furthered.
Accordingly the Chairman put the
amendment to the vote.
4 members voted in favor Of; 8 against.
The Chairman remarked: The amend
ment is lost.
1st Member fer Christiansted Country
District ~(Stakemann) left the meeting.
Sections IA to 80 no objection.
End Appointed Member NOUI remark
ed: Mr.. Chairman. TO Section II an
amendment was proposed by the St.
Thomas Council to which | don't see any
objection.
The Chairman replying to the last
speaker said, Amendments by Govern
ment can be brought in at 3rd Discussion.
End Member for Ch~ristiansted Tcwn
(C6negata) remarked: Mr.. Chairman.
No amendment can be brought in to a
section after it was read and adopted.
LIST Member for Frederikstod Country
District (Andersen) would like to know
whether the Council is to give an opinion
as to whether there should be one or two
Judges or whether Judge Noll is to bring
in an amendment that there should be
one judge. ,

it, and it is considered the best that
could be proposed. Gentlemen are you
going to accept it or are you not going to
receipt it? If you are going to believe
the Congressional Commission in part
you must believe it all together | would
agree today to pass these laws as recon-
mended by the Congressional Commission
if you would agree to spend eight thou
sand dollars yearly for a judiciary sys-
tenn, | say it again the laws which are
here proposed are the best we can offer
to you. If this Council had the power |
would say let us create an appeal court.
but we have not the power to create a
judiciary system. we cannot do it, Con-
gress can. Is it right to create a judici-
airy system here w ich will cost you
eight thousand dollars yearly?
4th Appointed Member (BLdckWOOd)
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. [ am in
sympathy with the words of the last
speaker. but when it comes to the moral
of the people of these islands wish to
state that the bill is now under End Dis
cussion End Appointed Member Noll;
We are coming to it, Member Black,
wood continuing: AS far as the question
Of having two judges for these Islands
is concerned you are better able to say.
End Appointed Member [NoUl remark
ed: Mr.. Chairman. | apologize if |
violate the Rules of Business.
LIST Member for ChristiansteG Country
District (Stakemann) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. 1t is not possible with such a
code of laws before us to confine our
selves strictly to the Rules of Business.
In the meetings of the Code Commission
many questions were asked and explana-
tions were given US, but since | have
looked up the laws on these questions
and | find different solutions to the
answers made. Coming back to the
question of the laws, | know not of any
man who is against having American
laws here, to the contrary, we wish to
have them, but | do not think it right to
talk about American laws and it's primer
pies if we do not stand by that same
principle. Is it American principle to
have a man sit here in this Council and
pass laws which will create an office for
himself? / did rot want to bring this
up, but under the arguments adduced |
am compelled to do so.
End Appointed Member [NoU] remark
ed: Mr.. Chairman. AS a United States
citizen | feel that | have a right to stand in
this Council and express an honest opin-
ion; and | also feel that the Government
has the right to have some one represent
them in this Colonial Council.

Manifesto by Employers.

Mr.. Bandlers manifesto was, In part,
as follows:
"In order to meet the public's demand
for q reduction of clothing prices and in
order to save to New York city an indus
try with an annual output of $500. 000,-
900 that furnishes employment to about
so 900 workers 1t Is imperative that there
be a complete change in the fundamen-
tails which control the local labor mar
ket, that the industry be restored to a
basis of business efficiency and that there
be eradicated the evil practices in which
the industry Is stepped and the perils
that threaten it. There Is and can be
no hope for the saving of the New York
clothing market unless:
First, the relationship between the
employers and workers, dealing together
either individually or through the asso-
citation of the former and the union Of
the latter. be reestablished upon most
complete remuneration by the workers of
what is and has been the fundamental
revolutionary doctrine and purpose of
the Amalgamated, as stated In its con-
stitution as follows
To put the organized working class
in actual control of the system of pro-
duction to the end that they shall be
ready to take possession of 1t.
'tSecond-That due rewards be given
to workers on the basis solely of service.
efficiency and competency: that each
worker be held responsible for a stand
ard production and be paid on a basis
which will permit the New York clothing
manufacturers to compete with other
markets where the Amalgamated has
established and permits different stand
ards. That the present week work sys-
tenn and its attendant evils be eradicated.
''Third-That there be renowned the
present doctrine OF life tenure of employ
ment to workers. without regard to eff
ficiency or competency, and that there
be restored to employers the right to dis
pense with the services of unnecessary
incompetent and inefficient workers.
"Fourth-That there be restored to the
manufacturer the right at all times to
determine where he shall buy and where
he shall cause his product to be manu-
featured.
"Fifth-That the walking delegate be
forever banished from the clothing mar
ket.
"Sixth-That the relationship between
the workers and their employers, acting
| individually or collectively. be fixed by
agreement of themselves and that nc
outside agency be constituted with leg
| islative power"
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-12-13
Accusation by Workers.

Concerning this manifesto Mr.. Hillman
said:
The purpose of the present ruling
group in the manufacturers to destroy
law and order in industry is now made
evident The issue in this controversy
is clear. The employers contention is
for control by them alone OF working
conditions, while the union is for joint
control by workers and employers. with
impartial arbitration by a representative
Of the public.
This is not Sovetism: It is demo-
cratic control OF industry. Our consti-
tuition with the quoted phrases has not
been changed in six years. The manu-
facturers have made contracts with us
during that time and not one has ever
been violated by the union"

Sydney Hillman. president of the ANAL

ment by denying the Soviet" charge and
accusing the manufacturers of seeking
one-sided control If the Gordon accusa-
lions are true. he said, he would like to
help prosecute the evildoers.

DEvELOPSROW
Treasury Department Wants
Diplomats Luggage Search
ed-Colby Says No.

The Volstead act Is working In .
manner that Is causing the Depart
ment Of State some embarrassment
In dealing with the diplomatic rep
resentatives Of other countries, ac-
cording TO the State Department,
and the customs service will have
to use discretion in interpreting de-
cisions Of the. Treasury Department.
DECISION CAUSES SCRAP.
The trouble arose over recent
decision OF Assistant Secretary or
the Treasury Jouett shouse. who has
amended section 3TS, Customs Resi-
iations so that the baggage OF diplo-
mats hereafter IL 10 be examined 10
see II IL contains liquor
The humorous part OF the order Is
that even IL the customs service men
do ind liquor they cannot prosecute
the diplomats because under inter
national custom, the diplomats and
their retinue are exempt from the
laws of the country to which they
are accredited.
The only ones who can be prose-
cuted for a violation of the Volsteed
Act is the railroad which transports
the liquor.
II was said this morning that the
examination of the baggage OF
diplomat was very different from the
examination OF Il private Individual.
In the case OF a diplomat all he
would have TO tell the customs men
was that IL was his baggage, and as
far as the Treasury Department was
concerned, this would be construed
as an examination. There win be no
porting over OF the effects Of diplo-
mat 1t was said.
Secretary of State Colby says that
| the luggage OF diplomats will not be
| interfered with even III he has TO be-
gin court action against the customs
| service men.
The trouble between the State and
| Treasury Departments began about
| two weeks ago, when a case Of wins
consigned to the French embassy was
| seized in New York. Sir Auckland
Geddes, the British ambassador re-
| Gently received Ave cases OF liquor,
but his consignment came through
Baltimore, where, II Is said. the Gus
| toms men are more in touch with the
| wishes of the Federal Governpept.
| and the decision of the Treasury was
not interpreted strictly.
TEXT OF ORDER
In the order to the collectors or
| customs at the ports of entry in THIS
country, Secretary Shouse. aftc: de-
scribing the amendments to article
/ 318, said:
"You will hereafter make an int
mediate report to the Secretary ot
the Treasury division of customs) OF
all violations of the prohibition law
which come to your attention as the
result OF such examinations.
"As this practice will be a distinct
departure from the custom that has
prevailed OF woving Examination
when admitting effects to free entry,
| you should take permission steps
to Impress upon your immediate steps
steps to imphess upon your force
the necessity for careful compliance
/ with the amended regulations"

GOV. COX DOES NOT PLAN
TO CALL ON PRESIDENT

There are no plans at present Tor
Governor Cox to see President Will
son. when he passes through Wash
ineton on his way to West Virginia
on Sunday. Secretary Tumulty said
today.
Secretary Tumulty was surprised
when he received information that
Governor Cox's itinerary took him
through Washington and stated that
he had not known of it before.
The Secretary to the President in
dictated that meeting between the
Democratic candidate and the Presi-
dent might be arranged between now
and Sunday if Governor Cox is per-
mitted a stop-over here of sufficient
length of time. m
