THINKS PUBLIC
SHOULD LIMIT
CON GRESS
Asserts That Public Is
Entitled To Limit Leg
islative Authority In
Proposing A m e n d =
ments To Constitution

Washington, April 26-An appeal to
the conscience" of the supreme
court is made in brief filed by Rob-
ert A. Widenmann, an unsuccessful
litigant. Asserting that the people
are entitled to be fully informed as to
what, if any, are the limitations upon
the delegated authority of their legis-
lative servants in proposing and rati-
flying amendments to the constitu-
tion," the brief respectfully points out
to the court that. until it delivers such
an opinion, "it will not fulfill either
its functions or its duty as body of
judicial servants of the people"
Widenmann sought to have set aside
as unconstitutional the woman's suf-
frage amendment, and his case was
dismissed, without opinion, on the au-
thority of cases previously decided
and which were cited.
Insisting that he is entitled to a
decision by the court stating its reas-
on, Widenmann declares that unless
he obtains it, 1.-The servants of the
people have become the peoples mas
ters, for they can exercise any power
they choose and not account to the
people"
1.-THE public servants of the people
are full of pretensions," he adds, "and
not amenable to authority and con.
troll, especially over their personal
and private habits, which are admit
tedly unprecedented and extraordin'
ary."
Members of congress voted for the
eighteenth amendment" he says, "in
nnnocition IN tho known wishes 0f the
people who elected them and assumed
to exercise powers which the people
who elected them had expressly de.
MED to them by constitutional man.
date" The court is asked whether the
people have any public servants
whose inexorable duty it is, in all
cases to explain to them how and
whence thy deserve authority" and
why limitations upon that authority
fail to operate.

POINCARE'S ADDRESS MAY MEAN BREAK
BETWEEN FRENCH AND BRITISH If FINAL

London, April &c CBy The Ass,.
ciated Press. The probable early
break down Of the Genoa conference
is more than limited at in some of
the London newspapers editorials to-
day. The Northcliffe Journals which
have consistently opposed the confer
ence and Premier Lloyd George ad-
y0cacv thereof declare the meeting a
failure. The Times says:
1T is daily becoming clearer that
the sIendid visions which the world
has expected as result of the con
ference are fading away. and it is
childish for the Premier to try to
cover his mistakes and hide his dis.
appointment by casting the blame for
his failures upon the press. whose
only fault is that it has been too
clear sighted"

PUBLISHERS
WON'T SANCTION
44-HOUR WEEK
President Of American
Newspaper Publishers
Association Says No
Reduction In Newspa-
per Advertising At
This Time-Asks Pub
fishers To Eliminate
Wilful Waste

New York, April 26.-Placing the
full weight of the American Newspa-
per Publishers Association against
any effort to introduce the 44-hour
week work into newspaper shops and
declaring that there cannot be any
reduction in newspaper advertising
or subscription rates at this time.
I. r. Williams, of the Pittsburgh
Press and president of the associa-
tion, called upon the members at the
opening of the annual convention to-
day to eliminate waste in :he news
paper plants of the country and get
behind the apprenticeship school
movement in order to prevent a
shortage of skilled help in newspa-
per plants. Calling attention to at
tempts of President Harding, himself
"a publisher, Mr.. Williams urged his
hearers to follow the example of
their illustrious fellow craftsman,
and as he had led in the scrapping Of
engines of war to promote interna-
tional cooperation for the publisher,
to scrap the jealousies and anilnosi-
ties that in their ultimate results are
harmful not only to those upon whom
they are imposed, but to those who
use them as we'll. Only by this meth
cd will the association obtain it's
fullest results, he added. "Undoubt-
edly one of our chief needs is a fur
ther lowering CT the cost of produc..
tion and the elimination of wilful
waste" said Mr.. Williams. THE for
mer lies chiefly beyond the immediate
control of the publisher; the latter is
entirely beneath his own roof. AS
a further alleviation of the high cost
of production, many insist that labor
costs are too high, and that the chief
end to be sought is reduction in
the wage scales of skilled workmen.
While it is conceded that some re-
duction is in order from the very
top-notch prices still being paid. and
while these reductions seem certain
to come in course of time. yet there
is another and I think better light in
which to consider this problem-se-
curing greater and more efficient re-
turns from labor. Publishers gen.
orally are not averse to giving la
Dor a high wage in keeping with the
experience and skill required by the
business, but in return they have a
right to insist upon a DAYS work in
constructive labor producing some
thing of real value to the employer.
