Favor of Cars.

With condemnation of the one-man
street car and praise of safety-first

Circle Citizens Association opened

DR.. Starr Parsons report condemning
one-man street cars, Percy Metzger
defending the cars with some spirit.
THE company" said DR.. Parsons

ject the patrons and others to such
danger. The present rate of fare, in
our opinion, is sufficient, considering
the enormous business done by the
electric car lines. to employ two men
on each car" The report also called
upon the Public Utilities Commission
to effect lower rate of car fare.
Safety Campaigns Urged.

ment Rate for Handling
Messages.

The Western Union Telegraph
Company, through Attorneys Wilson,
Huidekoper and Lesh. has filed
suit in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia against the
United States Shipping Board Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation for $2,436.99
for telegraphic services rendered The
suit covers messages charged to the
feet corporation at Washington
during the months of June and July,
1922.
Attorney Paul E. Lesh, for the
telegraph company, stated that the
suit is test case. The fleet cor
poration claims that it is entitled
to send messages at the reduced rate
allowed to the several departments
of the government The telegraph
company claims the right to charge
the fleet corporation at the ordinary
commercial rate. The government
rate is annually fixed by the Post
master General under the post roads
act of July "a, 1866, and is now 40
per cent of the commercial rate
1t is expected the test case will
be taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States for final decision,
The fleet corporation and the
telegraph company have agreed that
pending this test case messages may
be paid for at the government rate.
and that the accumulated accounts
will! afterwards be adjusted accord
lngly as this case may be decided.

ASK LAW AGAINST ISSUE
OF TAX-FREE SECURITIES
White House and Treasury to Press
for Resolution Pending in Con-
gress Forbidding Exemptions.

Congress will be urged to adopt a
pending resolution to propose a con-
stitutional amendment against tax
exempt securities, according to the
Associated Press, with pressure from
both the Treasury and the White
House exerted in favor of the pro-
posed legislation.
With capital in ever increasing
quantities seeking investment in tax
free securities, fiscal officers said the
situation had reached the point where
a remedy not only was desira BILE. but
necessary. Aside from the direct loss
in taxation to both the federal and
state governments, it was stated that
normal development of industry was
retarded through inability to attract
wealth at anything like reasonable
interest charges.
Another element of the situation
upon which emphasis was laid was
the inducement which it was claimed
was held out to the municipalities
and other subdivisions of the states
to issue securities beyond their nor
NAL needs. thus piling up the already
huge public lnde debtedness. II was de-
clared that already in some cases
credit was being strained and un
necessary burdens placed upon the
taxpayers.

COMPERS CHALLENGES
DAUGHERTYS VERAC|TY
Head of Federation of Labor Bit
terly Attacks Attorney Generals
Speech in Canton, Ohio.

In a bitter reply to the speech of
Attorney General Daugherty at Can
ton, Ohio. Saturday night, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, issued a statement
in which he challenges the veracity of
Mr.. Daugherty.
The Attorney Generals address. the
labor leader asserted, was marked by
partisan bias. untruth, exaggerated
statement ana display of heated
temper" Mr.. Gompers said the ad-
dress of the Attorney General would
increase the determination of organ
lied labor to press its demand in Con-
gress for the Impeachment of Mr..
Daugherty.
Mr. Daugherty's characterization
of the strike ana the strikers is so
tielled with hatred. exaggeration and
calumny that every thinking person
will understand it for what it is de-
clared Mr.. GomperS. The official
who presides over the Department of
Justice is supposed to be Interested
in the cveu-ha nded dispensing of JUS
;ice, and he is supposed to be inter-
ested in an impartial examination OF
the truth
The Attorney General made a num-
ber of statements" Mr.. Gompers con-
tinued. which were absolute false
hoods" adding that he had 'delib-
erately" neglected to say that the
workers agreed TO accept the pro-
posal submitted by the President"
and dismissed the insulting refusal
of the railroad members" with to
tally inadequate description of their
conduct. This, he said, was about
as far removed from all impartial
presentation of the facts as anything
could well be-.
"The Attorney General" Mr.. Comp
ers declared. rose to the heights of
the ridiculous. He became sublime
ly ridiculous
The more than 1900 af1idavits-
concerning anarchy bordering on civil
war" mentioned by Mr.. Daugherty
were described by the federation head
as having been 'f'shed out of the
sewers among strikebreakers and
paid agents of the most desperate

of the two cases which resulted in
the removal of the district attorney
of Middlcsex and Suffolk counties for

''What has been done is in no sense

to apply the fundamentals of the law
to a fixed determination. What has
been done is in no sense a one man
job. Every man in my department
is entitled to credit for devotng
themselves TO cleaning out the con-
ditions which they knew existed and
which it seemed almost there was no
way OF stopping.
"All of the profession arc going to

going to be for sale for any fee

officer fails to do his duty the at
torney general steps in for justice.
