LABOR TRIBUNAL
URGED BY BRYAN
Would Leave enforcement OF
Body's Findings to Public
Opinion Solely
AGAINST INDUSTRIAL COURT
BY the Associated Press

Washington, June 1.--W! J. Bryan,
appearing today before the Senate la :
Dor committee, urged creation of per =
manent tribunal of investigation for the
adjustment Of labor controversies. The
committee is considering legislation to
carry out recommendation Of the sec
ond industrial conference.
Mr. Bryan said he suggested this
tribunal as substitute for the proposal
to establish a federal industrial court
similar to that in Kansas. Under Mr..
Rryan's plan the tribunal would have
no power to enforce it's findings, but
would leave the parties to the contro
versy full freedom of action after their
case had been fully investigated. The
only agency for enforcement, he said,
would be public opinion.
Mr.. Bryan declared his opposition to
the industrial court was because it was
essentially n court of arbitration, and
arbitration, he said, was not always
practicable.
Investigation as remedy, Mr.. Bryan
said, is nothing more than the applica
tion of the principles involved in the
thirty peace treaties negotiated while
he was secretary of state. The i'm O.
probability of any nation going to war
after time had been taken for thorough
investigation, he declared, was equally
true in labor troubles.

WOODRUFF, NEEL..D|. !.
Jokes, ,sAYSCARNEY
Magistrate Scores Civil Services
Board for Refusal to
Retry Detective
MAY APPEAL TO MAYOR

You're nothing but a joke, and not
fit to sit on the Civil Service Commits
sion,' Magistrate Carney today told
Commissioners Woodruff and Neeld.
when they refused to try charges which
he had brought against district detective
Charles McGinty, of the Fifteenth street
and Snyder avenue station. 80
The proceedings arose out OF an al.
tercation between the magistrate ana
detective several weeks ago. when James
Priest, his wife Anna, and another man,
were all in the Methodist Hospital ana
supposed to be dying Of gunshot wounds.
The magistrate was sent for to take an
ante mortem statement.
According to Magistrate Cnrney's
charges, the detective tried to shake
Priest when he did not answer ques-
tions readily, and became abusive when
the magistrate told him to let the
wounded man alone. The hospital
brought charges against McGinty about
month ago. at which time doctors,
nurses and the magistrate appeared as
fine of twenty days pay.
Hospital Backs Carney
The commissioners refused to go on
with the case today because they said Il
once had been decided, though Henry j.
Scott. representing Carney, poisted out
that in the former trial Carney appeared
as a witness and not as prosecutor.
You are appointed to sit here as the
representatives Of the people, said the
magistrate. 'You are not supposed to
be here as the representatives of De-
tcctivc McGinty. / shall seek man
damus to compel your action. You're a
lawyer, Mr.. Woodruff. but I'm going to
teach you the law and the meaning Of
Justice"
The Rev. DIR. Charles NJ. Boswell, a
prominent Methodist minister and sec
retary of the Methodist Hospital, was
on hand when the trial was scheduled
to begin. He said the hospital would
stand behind the magistrate, and that
the punishment given the detective was
inadequate. Doctor Boswell says he
will go to the Mayor IL necessary. :.
Woodruff Answers Carney
Commissioner Woodruff, after the
tilt with Magistrate Carney. said
Magistrate Carney, by these attacks
on the commission, makes it impossible
for us to go any further in the matter
''In view of the fact, also, that Mag
istrate Carney threatens to take court
action to compel us to hear this case,
and in view of the charges alleged TO
have been made by DR.. Charles NJ. Bos-
we'll. and the intended action Of the
trustees of the hospital, I do not deem 1t
advisable at this time to make answer
to any charges.
mo politician, either high or low,
has spoken with the commission in con !.
nection with the case. The testimony of
the doctor and nurses was so weak at
the time that the original hearing could
not have resulted other than 1t did.
Magistrate Carney preferred charges
against Lieutenant George Stinger, Of
the Twentieth and Federal streets sta
ton, several weeks ago, and withdrew
them last week, after the time for hear :
ing the case had been set. =,
