HOMELESS CHILDREN

that ~ states give public aid To dc.

that the number of children in foster

that the number of children in iustitQ-

formity and stability of selling prices
Refrigerator Prices "kaed"

I'm the refrigerator industry, where
persistent efforts were made to pre-
vent price reductions and to main
tain and increase nriees, manufac-
turers' prices advanced more than did
those of any other commodity con
sidered in this report, except alum
mum ware during the three years,
i920-1922, and they declined, general
ly speaking, less.
The vacuum cleaner manufactur-
ers, with their control over new licen-
sees, were able to maintain prices at
an even higher level in 1921 than in
1920, and recorded only Insignificant
declines in 1922. Eleven vacuum
cleaner manufacturers, who earned
1862 per cent in 1920, were thus able
tod earn 20.6 per cent in 1921, de-
suite the great decline in demand. In
the aluminium cooking utensil in
dustry the rate Of return obtained by
eleven manufacturers amounted to
1877 per cent in 1920 and to i0.6 per
cent in 1921. With one exception in
each year, the Aluminium Goods
Manufacturing Company earned the
highest rate of return of anv of these
manufacturers. The meagre published
figures would indicate that the Alum.
mum Company Of America has earned
the equivalent of "a per cent a year
on its investment during the fifteen
year period, 1906 to 1921"

POOR EYESIGHT

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 3.-Auto-

steadily at the rate of 1000 a year.
A careful investigation of the motor
Fehlcle laws of the various states re-
yeaiS "unwarranted neglect" accord
ng to the Eyesight Conservation
Council, which in a report just issued
from its national headquarters in
New York associates poor eyesight
With automobile accidents.
OnqueStionably, good eyesight is a
prime requisite for all who drive
motor cars, and those with poor vision
ne a menace, asserts the report, con-
hnuing:
a survey of the motor vehicle laws
q the various states shows that only
tour states-Delaware, Minnesota,
oregon and Pennsylvania--make stat
atofy reference to the eyesight of
operators. The provisions of these
STATE laws are merely more or less
vague statements that the eyesight of
applicants must not be impaired or
defective.
State officials report that the eye
sight of applicants is tested in five
additional states, viz, Maryland, New
hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio and
Rhode Island. Further investigation
Of the Interpretation and enforcement
oI the laws and the methods used
SHOWS that the work generally is done
100 hurriedly and carelessly to be eff
ileetive. Since the existence of even
ileHicIent regulations applies to only
aine states, the conclusion is reached

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has handed down decision in
the case Of Michaels0n, e, al. rs.
United States, sustaining the right Of
railway employees i a trial BY jury
under the terms Of the Clayton act
when charged with contempt for the
violation Of an injunction. TIE court
held the provision Of the Clayton act
for trial y jury in contempt eases TO
be constitutions, shuS reversing
the Circuit Court OF Appeals for the
7th Ciieui. which held this part or
the Clayton act unconstitutional. This
is a decision Of far reaching import
ance. Il has been repeatedly held by
the highest courts that the power 10
punish for contempt is an "inhereni
judicial power" with which there can
be no interference by the legislative
power. Against this doctrine We made
three principal contentious in the
Michae,son case.
First: By historical survey going
back 10 the earliest recorded English
eases We showed that up TO the time
of the adoption of the American Con-
stitution contempts OF the court were
uniformly tried by jury,
Second. That the "court" en-
powered to punish for contempt might
consist OF judge and jury, as we'll
as judge alone.
Third: That the Inferior Federal
Courts are mere creatures of Com
gressional legislation and Congress
could require the trial of eontempts
by jury in the Federal Courts.
Opposing counsel took the position
that the power of the court TO en-
force injunetionS would be destroyed
if trial by jury was required, aud
that the Clayton act was uneonstitu-
tional as an interference with the
judicial power which the Constitution
reposed in the courts.
There Is no question but thar the
result of this decision will be to dim
inish the abuses of injunctions issued
out of the Federal Courts in labor dis
putes.
/ The court also held that employees
on strike are still employees within
the meaning of the Clayton act.
The power in single judge to make
new law with the issuance OF every in
junction and then to enforce that law
according to his individual judgment
| by fine and imprisonment to a prac-
f.ticaiiy unlimited extent, has been too
| irresponsible not to be abused. The
objections of organized labor to such
extraordinary over have been based
upon the greatest legal precedents.
Even Blackstone, the most conserva-
tive of lega authorities, has stated
that when the making and enforcing
of laws is vested in one and the same
man there can be no public liberty"
am, of course, highly pleased
with the decision of the court, not
merely because argued the case in
the Supreme Court, but because ! be-
lieve it marks the turn of the tide
in the increasing assumption of dan
gerous powers by the courts, in that
the power of the Legislature to check
exeesses of judicial power is here
sustained. Particularly is this i'm
portant in the case of the lower Fed
eral Courts where the judges are ap-
pointed for life and not accountable
at regular intervals to the elector-
ate for the manner in which they full
| fill their responsibilities

Probably more interest was taken In
