REFUSES TO HASTEN
H|RSH-BL0CH CASE

The United States Supreme Court
yesterday dismissed an application for
a writ of certiorari fled by Attorneys
Julius l.. Peyser and Jesse c. Adkins
in an effort to have the court take up
at once the Hirsch-Bloch possession
case for early consideration.
The court. by its action. has not de-
clined to pass on the validity of the
Ball rent law. Its refusal yesterday
dealt only with preventing a short
cut" on the part of counsel to get q
review by the highest court without
Appeals to pass final judgment for
possession in favor of Louis Hirsh
against julius Bloch for premises at
919 F street northwest.
The District Court of Appeals, in
holding the Ball law unconstitutional,
remanded the Hirsh-Bloch case to the
lower court for further proceedings.
Counsel. hoping to expedite the mat
ter, asked a writ of error from the
appellate court. but were met with
the decision that no final judgment
had been entered and no appeal could
to the United States Supreme Court,
which was denied yesterday.
In the meantime counsel have OBJ
tanned from the District Supreme
Court a final judgment for possession
under the ruling of the Court Of Ap-
pcalS lUkAI tuo III" 10 IuVAllO. from
that final order Adr. Bloch. the tenant,
has noted and. is prosecuting an ap-
peal tot-the District Court OF Ap-
peals. where the case now rests.
Eariy Decisisa Not Probable.
Unless the Appellate Court should
be prevailed on to advance the new
appeal from its position on the docket
for hearing It is net considered likely
that it will be reached before Febru-
ary. There are fifty cases on the
general docket ahead Of the Bloch
Hirsh case. and it is known to be the
intention Of the justices Of the Court
Of AppealT Co devote the entire month
of November to the patent appeal
docket, and it is not likely that the
fifty cases ahead Of this one wilt be
disposed of during the months of De-
cember and January. a----
In view of the courts previous deci-
sion. however. 1t is regarded as prob
able that an application to make a
similar decision in the new appeal
might be acted on favorably by the
court In order that the c4se might be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court-befors- the end OF the year.

''In connection with the matter Of mar

to cali your attention to some Of the
problems facing the farmers at the pres
ent time. In the spring Of 1920. when
they were planning their operations for
the coming season, they were confronted
with a very dificult situation. There
was a shortage Of farm labor estimated
at 80 per cent. the cost Of everything
the farmers had to buy was exceedingly
high, and there was uncertainty as to
the future prices Of farm products. All

these things added to the hazard Of the
undertaking, but, nevertheless. the farm
ers did not hesitate They realized
the responsibility resting upon them to
meet the food requirements Of the ma
ton. and. in spite of all the difficulties.
they have succeeded In producing one Of
the largest harvests in the history Of
the country.
