JUDGE ASSAILS REFEREE
FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE
Cropsey HalUes Proposed
$4,000 Fee in Canal Case.

Severe criticism of official referees
attached to the higher courts who en-
gage in private law practice was made
yesterday by Justice James c. Cropsey
of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn in
disappearing an award of $4,000 counsel
fees made to Hugo Hirsch in litigation
over canal property at Gravesend Bay
in which the city was involved.
Ths Justices shaft was directed at
Heri ert T. Ketcham, the referee who
recommended a fee OF $4,000 for Mr..
Hirsch Justice Cropsey cut the
amount to 5000. Attorneys for the city
held that $500 was a sufficient fee and
declared that Mr., Ketcham favored a
hig fee becaus, he tMr. Ketcham) had
sought a hign fee in litigation in which
he had acted as attorney.
1T is unfortunate" said Justice
Cropsey, that any referee should fail
to appreciate the improperly OF acting
as attorney in any other matter while
receiving pay from the taxpayers as
referee. If the practice is not discon-
tinued. the Legislature should act and
restrict those who would become or re-
main official referees from practicing
as attorneys"

The Cummins anti-profiteering coal
bill was passed by the Senate to-day by
a vote Of 40 to I, after which the Borah
bill, designed to establish coal fact
finding commission was brought up.
The Senators voting against the Cum
Minis bin were Sutherland (W. Va.),
Ernst (Ky.). Reed (Pa.). Dial Is. CO.
Robinson (Ar,S., Stanley (Ky) and
Shields (Tenn.).
The bill was sent to conference. where
the differences between the Cummins
and Winslow measures will be ironed
out. Senators Cummins Gowa). Kellogg
tMinn) and Smith (s. Co. were named
as conferees.
AS substitute for the Winslow meas
ure. which was passed by the House re-
Gently, the Cummins bill declares that a
national emergency exists in the pro-
duction, transportation and distribution
of coal and other fuel. For that reason
it grants additional powers to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and pro-
vides for the appointment Of a Federal
fuel distributor and for the declaration
Of car service priorities in interstate
commerce during the present and any
succeeding emergencies. !.
Before the bill was passed the Senate
adopted an amendment offered by Sena-
tor Dial providing that nothing in the
measure shall be construed as changing
the present law as to assigning cars for
transporting coal on contracts entered
into before July 25, 1922. at not more
than S2 per ton +. o. b. cars at the mines.
Another amendment adopted a few days
ago limits the life of the act to six
months.
Senator sutherland charged that the
Cummins bill granted a dangerous
power"
An amendment offered by Senator
Reed (Mo.) requiring fortnightly re-
ports of coal prices to be made to the
Secretary of Commerce by the operators
and wholesalers was rejected
Soon after the Borah bill was brought
up Senator Dial offered an amendment
stipulating that only majority of the
members OF the proposed commission
should be of one political party. This
was accepted by Senator Borah in the
interest Of harmony.
The agreement made with the hard
coal operators and miners for sep
arate inquiry regarding that industry
will be faithfully carried out. An
amendment was proposed by Senator
Aorah authorizing a separate investiga-
ton and report concerning the hard Goa
industry. 1t will be made by the same
commission which investigates the btu
