TO DECIDE STATUS
Of CANADA CLAIMS

Upon the Department of Justice
will rest for the present the problem
Of deciding the legal status of claims
presented yesterday by the Canadian
commission relative to the Do
minion's claims to ceratin enemy
alien owned bonds of Canadian COR
porations seized by the alien prop
crty custodian.
The commission, it was announced
last night, has decided to return
home pending decision by the De-
partment of Justice. The matter, it
was further indicated. may have to
go to the courts for adjudication.
The property involved is under

any property held under similar cir
cumstances by Canada and il was
ttnolcateo .nat no such claim would
pe presented.
II was explained that the legal
questions involved are of a complex
nature and that there was not a wide
neld or similar or even relatively
similar cases in international prac-
tfce upon which a decision could be
founded as matter of governmental
policy.
1t also Is necessary that there
should be complete legal authority
for any transfer the alien property
custodian might make in such
case, either granted specifically by
Congress or under. court order. Ex-
ecutive authority might not be suffi-
cient, it is declared, to warrant the
disposition of property of such value
without a direct basis for such action.
For that reason, 1t was anticipated
that the ruling of the Attorney Cen
eral on the question may require the
bringing or test case in American
courts to insure the legality of pro-
ceedings.

You might form a party. for in

American entrance into the league
of those who favor staying out of
the league. Still another party might
be formed out OF those who take
the middle ground and favor Ameri-
can participation in an International
court of justice.
You could also make new party out
OF local issues. There would be those
who favored the Solstead act and
those who do not. But these are tenn
porary matters which merely call for
the exercise Of political judgment and
do not afford a basis for permanent
political parties. No one knows to-
day what a new third party would
stand for or what the old parties In
their next conventions will stand for.
so far as making D. third party
around the liquor issue, II wouldn't
be possible. Political parties do not
assume leadership in those controver-
sial questions which have separated

Cated by my questions to counsel and by their responses that the real com plaint and grievance in this matter would not be alleviated by a change of venue, and therefore, in order to expedite the business of the session, the motion, insofar as 1t asks for a change of venue, is denied, and that Is all that ] feel, at present, inclined to say.
 My decision therefore will cause the trial to take place in this county
 "I however think it prudeN that additional jurors should be summon ed, and from remote parts of New Haven county, and in this manner every effort will be made to ensure the obtaining of an impartial jury in this case"
 On the other important feature of the motion the decision of Judge Webb in the form of written mem in which the reasons are given for denying the motion in full.
 The full text of Judge Webb's memorandum reads as follows:
 Upon the conclusion of the argu- ment upon this motion on April 7, 1925, l announced from the bench that TO sufficient evidence had been pre- sented that could satisfy the court that there was any such prejudice against the defendant that would render it impossible or difficult to se- cure fair and impartial jury in this county. The remarks of the court at that time were taken by the steno- grapher and appear in the record The court at that time stated that 1t would then make no disposition of the other part of said motion, asking that on account of certain public state mentS made by the state attorney in other proceedings indicating a hostile prejudice against the accused, that prosecuting officer 'other than the state attorney or his assistant, Mr. Pickett be designated to represent the state in the prosecution of this action
 "The statute provides that the court may appoint a special attorney to prosecute any cause whenever the states attorney shall be absent or disqualified. While the state attorney has emphatically denounced the con- duct of the accused in other proceed ings in this court, involving the guilt of other offenders, as we'll as in a | hearing before a legislative commit tee, I am unable to find from the evil dence presented in support of this motion that the states attorney has ! exceeded his official duty in any re- spect or shown himself in any man ] ner legally disqualified to prosecute this case. The same conclusion ap- plies also to Mir Pickett, his assist ant.

Trusts Low Wage
 Is Raised. Cents

New York, April 13-With a blare of trrrnpets, the steel trust announces a wage increase of II per cent. to it's common" labor. This IS an increase of 4 cents an hour, or from 36 cents to 40 cents. Last year the trust made a profit of $39,653,455, after all charges and interest were paid.
 In the trusts official announcement no mention Is made of the low wage paid this class of workers, but em- phasise IS placed on the II per cent, which sounds better to those who have visions that steel trust labor is paid $7 and $8 day.
 The trusts policy will be accepted by other mills throughout the country. These explorations bemOan the short age of labor, and insist that they have free access to the Balkans and eastern Europe the source of the cheapest white labor in the world, and which is willing to work for 36 cents an hour.
 Mill owners have been forced to raise wages even to 40 cents to hold their labor Almost everywhere else this grade of labor is receiving from $ cents an hour up.
 The reason for he 10. II and 12 hour day in the trusts mill Is again shown. Worktrs can not live on wage of $50 for a '10-hour day, and they are forced to work longer hours to receive living wage
 With fine irony Judge Gary has been quoted in the public press as de- claring that the 12-hour day is enforced in the trust mills because the workers demand it.
