AMERICANBAR
DENOUNCES ALI.
RADlCALISM
Annual Convention Favors Is
tablishment Of Bureau To Fur
ther American Ideals

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10
Establishment Of a bureau to fur
thcr American ideals and offset the
growing tide of anti-Americanism
which, is declared to be arousing
great prejudice against courts and
the constitution, was recommended
today to the American Bar associa-
ton at its annual convention here,
by its committee on American ideals.
The report denounced the proposal
to clothe legislative bodies with su-
preme authority.
Dependence upon action Of con-
grcss to effect reform to remove de-
lays and to bring about speed in the
administration of justice "has not
brought the best results and some
different mode should be tried
William Howard Taft, chief justice
of the United States, told the Amerl-
can Bar association today.
'The failures Of justice in this
country" said Chief Justice TAFT,
especially in the state coruts, have
been more largely due to the VIII
holding of power from judges over
proceedings before them than to any
ether cause; and yet judges have to
bear the brunt Of criticism which is
so general as to the results of preS4
ent court action. The judges should
be given the power commensurate
with their responsibility. Their ca
pacity to reform matters should be
tried to see whether better results
may not be attained. Federal judges
doubtless have their faults, but they
are not chiefly responsible for the
present defects in the administration
of justice in the federal courts. Let
congress give them an opportunity to
show what can be done by vesting
in them sufficient discretion for the
purpose"
Justice Taft said that litigation had
so increased with the increase Of the
general business Of the country that
even in fields always occupied ny the
federal courts, the judicial force had
proved inadequate, He remarked
that additional burdens had follow
ed the enactment Of new statutes,
particularly the Volstead act.
"A bill which provides for twen-
ty-four new district judges ana one
circuit judge in the Fourth circu~
has been reported to both houses"
he continued. at is opposed, an2
will doubtless lead to discussion; but
in view Of the previous votes in jne
two houses, it seems likely that the
bill will pass before the close OF
this congress.
''The new bill authorized a judi
cial council of ten judges, consisting
Ct the chief justice and the sen.JT
associate judge Of each circuit, wh1c-1
is to meet in Washington the last
Monday in September, TO consider
reports from each district judge with
a description Of the character Of Che
arrears, and recommendation as TO
the extra judicial force needed in

for the ensuing year by which the

1T ends the absurd condition, un-
der which each district judge had 10

as much business as he thought pro-

himself down in attempting to get
through an impossible docket; ant1

WINBURN DISCUSSES
SENIORITY PROPOSAL.

Commenting upon the recent pro-
posal of President Harding, W. A.
Winburn, president of the Central
of Georgia Railway company, says
Should the railways assent to the
course of action proposed by rrcsi-
dent Harding it would mean that the
men recently employed would have
to be discharged. They do not and
will not need all the strikers in ad,
dition to to the new men at WORK
and their finances do not warrant-the
employment of supcrfluous forces.
"From recent experience it begins
to appear that the railroads were
employing more skilled men at the
end of June than were actually need
cd to do the work, and the prooaDill-
ties are that the completed new
force when it wears down to an et-
fective working basis will be smaller
in number than the organization that
went on strike.
sit would be a very different and
much more timely suggestion should
the president ask the railways to take
back as many of the old men as they
can find places for. That would en-
able them Immediately to conpia1e
their organizations and keep the
work going while the Labor Board IS
considering the seniority question
If this suggestion had been made
at the outset of the controversy be-
fore the railroads was forced, in the
public interest, to recruit their shop
forces, it might have afforded way
out of the difficulty, but it does lot
appear to be a remedy now.
Let US assume the acceptance OF
the presidents suggestion, the prac-
tical effect of which will be to dis
place all the new men and the re-
employment of those who are on
strike, and the reference of the
question of seniority rights to the
Labor Board. IF the latter should
then decide that the strikers were not
entitled to those rights there would
doubtless be another walkout of the
shop forces. In that event the rail
ways and the public would find them
selves in much worse state than at
the beginning Of the controversy,
since there would be no possibih-
ty Of recruiting forces. Men once
hired .anG almost immediately dis
missed could not be relie,! on to re-
turn to the service a second time.
at is exec -dmgly unfortunate
that the leaders CT labor persists In
policy of rule or ruin. To illus
trate by the case Of the Central Of
Geo2ell: up to lest week we were
able to carry on without employing
new men. Wher The presidents first
suggestion was made our situation
was such that all our men might have
returned without the impairment of
Their rights. Yet their leaders re-
fused to permit them to do so, III
sisting that this was national strike
and that any settlement must be up
on national basis. Now these
men have lost the opportunity of re-
suming work as vacancies in our
forces are rapidly being filled. More
recently the Southern railway sys-
tenn has had the same experience.
These instances raise no question as
to whether labor, if in servitude' as
is sometimes asserted, is not in
servitude to its own leaders, rather
than to capital and the railway exc
cutiyes."

May 18th. The spacious rooms were
decorated with purple and gold crepe

a great deal OF mcrriment. In the
yard was a booth decorated in pur-
pie and gold, marked "Filling Sta
tlon," where delicious fruit punch
was served. On tree nearby was
the, sign, Don't Park Here" The
guest were then matched off and given
auto contests which proved very ex-

Mr.. Bennett Harvin came out first in
this, receiving a beautiful bouquet of
lilies tied with purple and gold rib

eral toasts were given. Mr.. William
