CITY COURTS
ASSAILED

New York Municipal courts in
certain sections of this city fall far
short Of giving justice to poor liti-
giants, according to the annual report
of the legal aid society
These alleged poor mans courts
are not living up to their reputa
ton, it is stated, because of the arbi-
trary action of clerks and marshals on
whom the successful litigant depends
for the collection Of his judgment.
"When a person seeking justice has
established his right in court of law
and then finds that he is no better off
than when he started, having judg-
ment that no one will bother to col
lect, his respect for law receives a
rude shock" says the report.
''In suing for small amounts loss
of time is a fact which the litigant
must seriously consider. Most of the
judges lose sight of this consideration,
They grant adjournments recklessly
against all objections"

RECOGNIZE
MEXICO"
Says American Federation
of Labor Chief

Washington Americans who are
not prejudiced one way or another by
a desire to get possession of Mexican
natural resources upon the most
favorable terms and conditions, are
coming more and more to the conclu-
sion that there has been something
more than diplomacy at work in the
relations between the two countries, 2
says President Gompers, writing in
American Federationist, current issue,
on the Justice Of Mexico's claim for
recognition BY the United States.
1t is fact beyond dispute that
American capitalists have sought to
shape the policy Of the United States
in such manner as to bring to Amer
lean investors the largest possible re-
turn. When these investors felt that
Intervention in Mexico would be a
good thing for them, they were for
intervention More recently it evi-
IDENTIFY has been their conviction that
by attempting to retard the granting
Of recognition they could wiring larger
concessions and more favorable in
vestment terms from the Mexican
government.
1T is quite possible that the com
plete story of the ntrigues Of Ameri-
can bankers, American oil interests
and American investors and would-be
investors in Mexican mineral, land
and timber resources, viii never be
known. Sufficient is known, however,
to make certain the fact that the
amount Of intrigue has been much
larger than that of which we have
knowledge
by all of the standards of govern
ment in the diplomatic recognition of
one nation by another, Mexico is en-
titled to recognition as an act of jus
tce. Absolutely the only persons
who can conceivably derive advantage
from the continued Withholding of rec
ognition are certain American bank
ers who hope to drive a better bar
gain with Mexico by creating in Mex
leo the impression that they have
some influence in determining the
matter of recognition. For everyone
else, whether Mexican or American
the advantage lies in granting imme-
diate recognition"

Jersey City, N. 1.-THE Erie rail
road has sublet repair work for its
New York terminal to the Wagner
Construction and Repair Company.
Similar action has been taken in its
Hornell, N. Y, and Marion, Ohio,
shops. Trade unionists say the Wag-

workers was 72 cents an hour.

ORGANIZATION
Workers Determination Drives Road Receiver Bugg TO
Using Government Agents in Desperate
Effort to Promote Scheme

Papers and records seized by fed

the Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tic strike leaders were ordered return
ed by Federal Judge Samuel Sibley,
at Atlanta, Ca, after he had heard
testimony tending to prove that off
GERS of the federal court had conspired
with Col B. A. Bugg, receiver Of the
road, TO perpetrate the high-handed
proceeding
Copies and photographs of docu-
ments made by Bugg and his ems
ployes were ordered returned to the
court and to be scaled forever"
The raid and what subsequently
happened were declared by Judge
Sibley to be unfortunate. This was
particularly true of Col Bugg's con
tempt Of the injunction secured at
the instance of strike leaders against
any further copying of records. 1t
was proven that Bugg had his agents
at this work for two days after the
injunction had been served upon Bugg
1t was charged by Hooper Alex
ander, formerly district attorney and
one Of the counsel for the strike lead
ers. that the sole purpose of the seiz-
ure had been to give the railroad off
cials knowledge of the strikers affairs
which could not be obtained otherwise.
Union officers headquarters in the
Piedmont hotel, Atlanta, it was
brought to the attention of Judge Sib-
ley, had been raided by federal agents
after the strike leaders had been trick

their attendance before federal
grand jury 1t was during their alb
sence that ] B. Wall, solicitor gen
era Of the circuit court and local
attorney for the railroad at Fitzgerald,
served subpoena upon stenograph-
er and secured possession Of the
unions documents.
Judge Sibley in measured terms
denounced this proceeding.
1T was unfortunate he said, that
the stenographer was served with the
subpoena in the absence of her en-
ployers; it was unfortunate that 50
many officers of the government were
present at the time; it was unfortu-
nate that so much zeal was shown in
the copying but | won't say any
more than unfortunate
Colonel Bugg and federal district
attorneys Clint W Hager and Wall
were required to take oath that all
copies of the strikers papers had been
returned to the court. If they told
the truth, it develops they have mere

panies are the only real opponents
to this kind of legislation in our state
today. A great many employers pub
licly say they want state insurance
fund, and a great many more refuse
to say anything publicly, but tell us
privately that they want it though
that they dare not say so openly or
the insurance companies will either
refuse to take their risk or liability
between now and the time such law
is enacted, or that they will raise
their premiums so much that they will
be at disadvantage with their COM
petitors
"An illuminating statement appears
in the records of the insurance divi-

commerce for the state of Illinois
Mn Barr, the director Of the depart
ment of trade and commerce, in
communication dated July 13, 1921,
replying to a letter / had written him
on July 13, 1921, states that accord
ing to the published reports Of the
department, the premiums collected
in Illinois during 1919 by companies
writing workmen's compensation IN
surance were S11 ,622 ,333 81, and the
total losses paid by those corporations
on workmen's compensation business
for the same period were $4,070,181 90.
Similar figures for 1913 were $9,0l7,-
7l2.o5 and SO 300, ,235 .46.
I wrote for these records for all
of the wears preceding those two in
which the compensation law had been
in effect, but he advised me that upon
investigation he found that the re-
ports Of his department for previous
years did not separate this line Of bus
