STONES RECORD
Shows His Intimate Connection With Many Man,
moth Trusts, Combines and Corporations

Harlan F. Stone, whose nomination
by President Coolidge for Attorney
General has recently been confirmed
by the United States Senate is at
present a member of the law
firm Of Sullivan and Cromwell Until
recently, he was member of the law
firm of Satterlee, Garfield and Stone.
The newspaper publicity creates the
impression that he has not been a
member of the firm of Satterlee, Can
field and Stone for several years; but
his autobiography in "Who's Who"
for 1929, which is annually SUBJ
mitted to the author for revision,
shows that he was at that time a
member of this firm and at the same
time Dean Of the Law School of Co.
lumbia University.
Sullivan and Cromwell, with which
Mr. Stone is now connected, has been
one of the leading law firms in the
organization and defense of trusts
ad combinations.
William Nelson Cromwell, senior
member of this firm, states in his
autobiography in "Who's Who, 1922
23":
"Organized, 1899, National Tute
pany; since then many other corpor-
ations; appointed assignee and re-
orgaized Decker, Howell & Co., 1890,
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
and later many others, and put all on
paying basis. Officer or counsel of
more than twenty of the largest cor
porations in U. S. and one of the or
ganizers of the United States Steel
Corporation"
Clients of Sullivan and Cromwell
The corporations listed as clients of
Sullivan and Cromwell in the Ameri-
can Bar, 1924, are as follows:
American Bank Note Company
Cuba Cane Sugar Corporation, Amer
lean Brass Company and ten others.
DirectOrships of Firm Members
The members of the firm of Sulli
van and Cromwell are officers or di-
rectors in at least forty corporations
listed in the Directory of Directors of
the City of New York.
The firm members through whom
these interlocking directorships are
established are:
William Nelson Cromwell, Alfred
Jaretzki, Royal Victor, Henry H.
Pierce, Edward H. Green, John Foster
Dulles, Wilbur F. Corliss, Albert S.

Labor Shortage
a Fake

New York-With congress de-
claring for stricter immigration,
the Wall Street Journal confesses
that it's "labor shortage" cries
were not based on fact. This pub
lication now says:
"Past experience would lead to
the belief that we can, mainly
through the use of machinery,
make up for lack of immigration
labor"
Or, in other words, advocates of
unrestricted immigration were not
truthful when they said business
would be injured if the alien flood
were checked. This was the scare
crow of low-wage advocates who
terrified people by their screams
against unrestricted immigration.
Vast amounts of money were
contributed by industrial corpora
tions to corrupt public opinion in
favor of free immigration. Despite
this propaganda, congress has
hardened to the peoples wishes.
The Wall Street Journals
change comes after it is defeated.
Engineers and other industrial au-
thorities have long since realized
that employers do not use their
labor to the best advantage. Last
May, F. R. Low, editor of Power,
said there is an appalling waste
in human endeavor.
"In some industries" said Editor
Low, "our wasteful methods make
it necessary to use twice as many
workers as would be required if
properly employed. In some cases
conditions are getting worse in
stead of better.
Aside from the employers lack
of system, Editor Low points to the
waste of labor due to accidents,
which is estimated at 300,000,000
working days per year. 1t is claim
ed that 80 per cent of these acci-
dents can be prevented. Illness
and non-industrial accidents, SO
per cent of which are preventable,
keep an additional 100000 work
ers out of employment every year.

Council of Churches
Opposes Child Labor

New York-The federal council of
churches and allied organizations are
convinced that the state alone can not
cope with the evils of child labor, DR..
Worth M. Tippy, secretary of the
commission on social service, said in
announcing that the council of
churches is cooperating to secure the
child labor amendment to the federal
constitution.
"The amendment is necessary" he
said, "in order to protect more than
100000 child workers. The admin
istration of the federal laws before
they were declared unconstitutional
stimulated and helped the state au-
thorities. 1t does not seem necessary
to sacrifice new generations of child
workers.
"Child labor, as distinguished from
wholesome after-scho and vacation
assistance in home and on the farm,
stunts growth, handicaps the future
and produces illiterates. Children
soon lose their opportunity. Given
two Or three years out of school and
a half dozen years of broken school
work and their chance is irretrievably
lost"

British Immigrants
Overrun Canada
(By Federated Press)

Vancouver, B. C.-British immi-
grants here are being used to flood
the lumber industry with cheap labor.
Of the thousands of British immi-
grants now being brought to the do
minion as result of the propaganda
lies of the Canadian Pacific railway
and the Canadian National railways,
hundreds are being shipped west and
sent in blocks to the logging camps
ad saw mills.
Batches of immigrants are taken
from Halifax on the Atlantic coast
and brought across country without
a stopover. The newly arrived immi-
grant is not allowed to visit his
friends or relatives on arriving here
but is held at the immigration shed.
After several days of detention a
group of the newcomers are taken to
the local loggers' employment agency
and shipped out to the logging camps
usually at lower wage than is paid
to Canadian lumber workers.
Already the annual preparations
are being made to flood the prairie
provinces with cheap harvest labor.
AS so many Canadian workers have
profited through bitter experience
"making a stake in the harvest" i'm
migrant labor is expected to supply
the requirements. Last season hun
dreds of immigrants who were prom
ised high wages in the harvest fields
and assured enough money to return
them home in case they did not wish
to remain in Canada, found them
selves stranded and destitute.

MAKING LAW RIDICULOUS

1t should be the aim of those en-
trusted with the enforcement of law
to impress the public that our statutes
are to be taken seriously. Prohibi-
ton Commissioner Haynes has just
issued new set of rules for the en-
forcement of the Prohibition Amend
ment that on their face appear to be
silly, and will have a tendency to
make the law ridiculous.
Grocers are to demand that custom
ers explain the uses they intend to
put any purchase that might by any
stretch of imagination enter into the
making of home-brew. By such a
ruling if one purchased a pound of
sugar he must satisfy the grocer it is
to be used to sweeten a cup Of tea or
to be put in other harmless use. He
cannot sell bunch of grapes, or a
package of raisins, bag of prunes or

New York for 1919-20 as having one
or more members of the firm of Sull-
ivan and Cromwell on the board of
directors are:
American Brass Company, Interna-
tional Nickel Company, Manati Sugar
Company, Milwaukee Electric Rail
way & Light Co., General Steel Cor
poration and thirty-five others.
Time has not permitted study of
the relations of these corporations to
cases now pending before the Depart
ment of Justice, or to violations of the
Antitrust Act and war frauds, which
are not pending but should be pressed
by the Department of Justice. Atten-
tion should, however, be directed to
certain facts. This list of corpora
tions indicates close connections of
the firm of Sullivan and Cromwell
with Stone and Webster and also
with Sanderson and Porter. Those
two firms played large part in the
handling of war contracts and many
of the cases Of war frauds now pend
ing, particularly in connection with
cantonment contracts, directly or in
directly involve these two firms. 1t
is obvious, therefore, that in prosecut-
ing these cases the Attorney General
will be brought into conflict with the
interests of corporations with which
the firm of Sullivan and Cromwell are
closely connected and in which they
have a financial interest.
Corporate Connections
Herbert l.. Satterlee, senior men,
Der of this law firm with which Mr..
Ln- aNrnonfol fa,,
years, is the son-in-law of j. Pier
pont Morgan who's Who, 1922-23).
This firm, according to the Ameri-
can Bar, 1924, has as it's clients:
The National Bankers Association,
Bank of New York, New York Morris
Plan Company, Bradstreet Company,
Industrial Financial Corporation, Lon
don and River Plate Bank, Bank of
Nova Scotia.
Members of the firm of Satterlee,
Garfield and Stone are officers or di-
rectors of the following corporations:
Cast Steel Ship Corporation, Brad
street Company, Industrial Finance
Corporation and eleven others.
1t would appear from the facts set
forth above that if the appointment of
Mr.. Stone was not dictated by Wall
Street interests, and particularly by
J. P. Morgan & Co., it will at least be
completely satisfactory to them.
1t is also obvious that Mr.. Stone as
Attorney Geenral will either be biased
in his administration of the office of
Attorney General, or will be greatly
embarrassed by the necessity of pros
ecuting former clients and corpora
tions in which his firms and law part
ners are financially interested.

Just by Our Hired Man
OUR COPS ARE COURTEOUS

Newark is blessed with first-class
bunch of cops, ever ready to assist
those in need.
This was evidenced the other day
when Officer Curt Berry, while re-
turning in the wagon from a run to
the east end, noticed an aged man on
the sidewalk, apparently in bewild-
cred condition. Upon inquiring it de-
veloped the old-timer was lost. He
was on his way to his. home in West
Virginia, had come up town and lost
his bearings. The good-hearted cops
offer to take him to the Pennsylvania
station was gladly accepted.
The surprising part of the story is
that the ancient traveller stated he
was one hundred and one years old,
but felt as clipper and spry as a
cricket, which fact he demonstrated
upon arriving at the depot where he
hoped unassisted from the wagon,
and thanking and waving his hand to
the officer, disappeared in the wait
ing room.

a carton of dried apricots without eX-
acting a promise from the purchaser
that they are not to be made into a
prohibited beverage.
Such ruling is a reflection on the
honesty of the American people. 1t
is an intimation that every purchaser
of the ordinary household staples is a
law-breaker and that his grocer is in
conspiracy with him to defeat the pro-
visions of the constitution.
Placing such restrictions on the
dealer in and the consumer of food
supplies, that are as common in every
home as a paper of pins or ball Of
twine, would be a serious matter if
it were not so ridiculous. The public
cannot take such interpretations of
the law seriously. Law enforcement

alcoholic drinks taken away from

Eliminate Waste
Say the Gas Men

Cleveland, O.-Pleas for concerted
efforts to eliminate waste of the nat
ural gas supply will be made at the
nineteenth annual convention of the
Natural Gas Association of America,
to be held in Cleveland May 19 to
%.
use without waste" is the slogan
of the industry and convention speak
ers are expected to show that close to
$1,OOO,OOO is wasted daily by consum-
ers because of inefficient methods of
utilization. This waste today would
supply fuel needs of $4,000 families or
would replace 225,000 tons of coal.
The convention, which will be at
tended by more than 1920 leaders of
the industry, will hear reports on rec
ent surveys. There are more than g.
100000 domestic consumers depend
ent on natural gas to prepare their
daily meals and 100000 people are
directly interested in gas. Ohio has
approximately 100000 gas consum-
ers, more than any other state.
Reports show that while the popu-
lation of the United States has in
creased 40 per cent in the last 20
years, the increase in natural gas
service has been 207 per cent in that
period, and that consequently it be-
hooves everyone to do his or her part
IN the proper conservation of this
fuel by seeing that gas appliances are
of the best, says the Ohio Committee
on Public Utility Information.
Many gas appliances are wasteful
or antiquated and convention speak
ers will argue that if consumers
would seek advice from gas COM
panies, which the latter gladly give,
they could not only eliminate a great
deal of the present waste, but reduce
their gas bills as well.

Census of 1890
Governs

Washington-The senate has ap-
proved the house alien plan of bas-
ing immigration quotas on the
1890 census.
Under the amendments to the
senate bill, immigrants will come
to this country at the rate of 161,-
900 year until 1927, when the
Reed amendment, under which
they will be limited to 100000, will
become effective.
The question of what census
shall be used as a basis for the per-
centage of immigrants to be admit
ted was hotly contested.
For the last two decades immi-
grafton has come largely from
southern Europe, and these ma
tionals in this country urged that
the 1910 census be used.
Prior to 20 years ago northern
Europe supplied the greater per-
centage of immigrants. 1t was
urged in congress that from these
peoples come American ideals, and
these immigrants should be en-
couraged, rather than those from
southern Europe. Congress adopt
ed the 1890, or northern Europe,
basis.
Opponents of the 1890 census in
sisted that southern Europe was
being Disseminated against, but
they refused to acknowledge if the
1910 census were accepted as a
basis, the charge of discrimination
could be made by those who favor
the 1890 census.
The majority Of the members of
congress, however, took the posi-
tion that any country has the right
to regulate immigration without
consulting the wishes or desires of
other nationals.
The discussion and the vote in
both houses indicates that hereaf-
ter immigration restriction will be
the rule. The vote also indicates
that the United States has aban-
doned the claim that it is "the
haven of the worlds oppressed, y
and that a closer scrutiny will be
given immigrants.
