Social Standing Of Business
Men Makes Them Immune
Says Lockwood Report.

New York, April 1.-The social
standing of business men makes
them immune from prosecution in
state and federal courts, is one of the
scathing arraignments of the Lock-
wood housing committee. in its re-
port to the state assembly.
In discussing it's attempt to secure
convictions under conspiracy laws,
the committee says:
1.-THE judges, both il, the state and
federal courts, have almost consis-
tently treated this class of offenders
with tender consideration. In one
case in the state court, in which the
manufacturers of brick and dealers
in building materials were proved
guilty of most overt acts, constituting
willful frauds upon the public, the
court allowed all the defendants to
escape with fines.
'The court in that case expound-
ed the extraordinary view that be-
cause of the business and social sta
ton Of these men tie Humiliation of
being compelled to plead guilty to
"a crime and the imposition of COM
paratively small fines upon them was
a sufficient punishment. The same
point Of view seems to prevail with
the federal judges. There is no hope
Of compelling obedience to these laws
or of enforcing them so long as the
courts adopt his atitude.'' -,
