RENT LAW
UPHELD
Washington Landlords Must
Refund Excess Collected

Washington.-By a to A vote the
United States supreme court has up
held the Ball rent law, intended as a
war emergency measure to protect
tenants in the District Of Columbia
The law has been treated as a scrap
of paper by landlords, who must now
refund rents in excess of rates order
ed by the rent commission. The land
lords are waiting for the law to ex-
pire next October Friends of the
law will urge its extension.
The majority of the supreme court
judges declared that the laws of emil
nent domain and those comforting po-
lice powers justified the restriction of
property rights without compensation
in cases of public emergency.
The minority-Justices White, Nc
Kenna, Van Devantcr and Mercy
nolds-nsisted that the law "is con-
trary to the meaning of contracts
and leases as accepted all over the
world"
The main feature of the act pro
vides for rent commission with rent
fixing powers and some of the powers
of court tc decide questions of rent
and custer proceedings.

CANT BILL
Providing Imprisonment and
Fine for Workers Again
Before T.. S. Senate

Washington. - Senator PoindeXter
has reintroduced has bill to make in
terstatc commerce strikes illegal.
This bin slipped through the senate
at the last session, when half a dozen
members were present, but was held
in the senate by parliamentary
move of its opponents, and congress
adjourned without taking action.
The bill provides for a fine of
$4,000 or 10 years imprisonment,
or both, for any one who shall by
word Of mouth, or by the presenta-
ton, exhibition or circulation of writ
ten or printed words, CIR otherwise,
solicit, advise, induce or persuade, or
attempt to induce or persuade any
person or persons, employed by any
common carrier subject to the act to
regulate commerce" to quit their en-
ployment.
In another section of the law a
Imprisonment is provided where man
ayers or employees combine with the
intent to substantially" interfere
with commerce.
Where the managers are involved
less punishment is provided and the
intent to interfere must be 'substan-
tialIvn In The section that makes i.
illegal for one worker to even "at-
tempt to induce" another worker to
quit his employment there is no refer
ence to substantially" and the fine
is not $500 and six months imprison-
ment. 1t is $4,000 and 10 years
In other words it is twenty times
as serious for one railroad employe
to ask another to quit his employment
as it is for railroad managers to com,
punishment OF $500 or six months
bine to substantially" hinder trans
portation. The managers have an ad-
ditional loophole to escape by being
permitted to prove that their hin.
drance to commerce was not Sub
stantial." In the workers case he
violates the law before commerce is
hindered. If he even suggests to 8
fellow worker that he should quit
he is guilty under the law and can bt
jailed for 10 years.

WANT JUDGE APPOINT
ED

Charleston, w, Va.-The house of
delegates has passed law empower
ing the governor to create a criminal
court in Mingo county and to appoint
a judge, who shall hold office until
1924.
This plan is the most brazen yet
devised by coal owners and other spe-
cial interests to strengthen their hold
on the people Of this state. Under
this act the voters of Mingo county
will have no voice in the selection of
criminal judges and the trial of Sid
Hatfield and others charged with the
murder of Baldwin Feltz detectives
will be before a judge who has been
appointed by the governor.
The defenders of this law plead
that "lt is not safe" to hold an cleo
tion in Mingo county at this time.
Opponents Of the plan ask: at IS
not safe for whom 2"

ANOTHER RAID
ON CONGRESS
Being Planned by Railroads,
Declares La Toilette

Washington reason for the
present plight of the railroads is their
illegal and dishonest expenditure of
money for maintenance and their pro-
hibitive rates which have stalled traf-
fic," sand Senator La Toilette, in an
address before the peoples recon
struction league.
The lawmaker assailed the Cum
Minis -Esch act and declared that the
railroads were the authors of this
Legislation.
Having dictated the terms of the
law" he SAID, land having failed
completely to put the transportation
system on sound basis under its
operation, the railroads are again
here iii Washington preparing to
make another raid on congress.
ANY difficulties that the carriers
are now in is due TO misfeasance be-
fore government control and to arti
fetal and malicious distractions by
men in high railroad places to make
the system fail.
The time will come when the truth
will be known about the sabotage they
praeticed in order to discredit the OPP
Grafton of the administration"
The senator declared that misman
agement and not high wages is re-
sponsible for the present condition of
the railroads. Il have read hundreds
of affdavits ot men who stated under
OATH" he said, that they We're order
ed and required to execute orders
which blockaded transportation, ord,
ers which undermined and retarded
the work, orders which destroyed ma
terial."

BRISKER BUILDING PREDICTED
Head of Worlds Largest Blu ders Optmistc-Says Nei-
ther Prices Nor Wages Are Now Too High
Better Times Coming

New York.-Louis j. Horowitz,
president of the Thompson -Starrett
Company regarded as the worlds
largest builders, said that he does
not look for building costs TO decline
to any great extent.
"At its peak, which was around the
last half of 1920" said Mr.. Horowit2,
'the cost of building was about 220
per cent of pre-war normal. Today
the average show about 165 per cent
Of pre-war normal. | believe, in view
Of the existing conditions, that this
represents fair cost, and that costs
are apt to &c higher before going
lower
Building throughout the country,
although not quite as brisk as could
be expected, has been going on steadi-
ly and satisfactorily for some time,
and is increasing favorably. : There
has been a large improvement of late

New Building Badly Needed.
"This country is urgently in need
of some $5,00O,0OO,000 worth of new
buildings of all kinds to make up for
the temporary cessation of home and
office construction during the war.
With this fact in mind, | can hardly
feel anything but optimistic regard
ing the future of our business.
II do not think labor costs are toe
high, excepting where the wage-earn-
er fails to render full days service
for days pay, or where, owing to
some regulations, two or more men
are beng employed to do one mans
job
Labor, in my opinion, should be .

| reasonable proportion of the value it's
output helps to create.
Labor Should Save Money
"The majority of the people of this
country, being in the working class,
would therefore be able more properly
to care for themselves, get more re-
creation, and better education. Labor
should be taught to save money and TO
invest it pruoently, and to take part
in providing urgently-needed capital
for our country's expanding industrial
enterprises.
"The success of these enterprises,
therefore, would be the workers sue
cess. and, | believe, would be the best
antidote for all unrest, Bolshevism
and the like. The worker should be
able to feel chat his efforts are be-
ing recognized in the general success
of the business of the nation
Freight Costs Not Too High
"No, | don't think that labor, ex-
cept where it is soldering, has been
getting its share of the country's
prosperity. With proper wages and
proper teaching as to how to invest
it's savings, / firmly believe labor
would prove its worth by becoming
the greatest factor in the salvation
of the country's industry and general
welfare.
Regarding freight costs, don't
think they, either are any too high
The railroads are struggling hard for
existence, let alone profit, and | don't
see now they can reduce freight rates
and still do business.
"In my opinion, the worst part of the
depression has been passed, and |
look for more normal conditions to be
we'll under way before the end of the
present year"
