Samuel Beiderman, Francis

of the Washington Reduction Com
pany at Montello avenue and Mt.
Olivet road northwest, have filed

noxious gases, offensive odors,
smoke and dust" Plaintiffs also
declare that the atmosphere. for a
radius Of three quarters OF a mile
is being contaminated and that the
health and comfort Of plaintiffs
children attending school, is harmed
by the operation Of the plant.
Protests have been registered
with the District Commissioners
against the plant and they gave as
surance that as soon as another
location could be obtained, the plant
would be discontinued. Later, the
complaint says, protests were re-
newed and one Of the commissioners
said the plant would be continued.
The court is asked to restrain the
commissioners from permitting the
use of the building and from re-
newing the lease for it on or after

LABOR PREMIER
|. EMBARRASSED
by AIDS
Indiscreet Utterances Must
Be Avoided, Macdonald
Warns Ministers.
BY LUTHER A. HUSTON.

LONDON. March 14.-Premier
Ramsay Macdonald is trying to
curb the tongues Of some of the
members Of his government.
Injudicious speeches and inop.
perfume public statements by mem.
bers Of the Macdonald ministry
have, it is alleged, caused the Prime
Minister considerable annoyance.
It is understood that he seeks to
impress upon his fellow officials
the need of speaking warily.
An illustration of the trouble that
may arise from ministerial indis.
cretions Of speech is afforded by q
recent happening in the House OF
Commons. Arthur Henderson, home
secretary in the Macdonald cabinet
during a campaign address in q
parliamentary bye-election, declared
that the Labor party advocated
the immediate revision Of the Treaty
Of Versailles.
Starts Trouble.
Next day David Lloyd George
started trouble in the House OF
Commons. He demanded of Pre-
mier Macdonald if Henderson's
statement represented the views of
the government. Other members
took up the issue and gave Mac.

Macdonald quieted the flood Of
questions by declaring that the
policy Of the government had been
stated by himself at the opening Of
the present sessin of Parliament
and. that there had been no change
from that position. The questions
and answers revealed, however,
that Henderson's speech had been
made on his own responsibility and
had not been approved either by
Macdonald or the cabinet.
There is no doubt that It is the
policy Of the Labor party that the
Versailles treaty is in need of
drastic revision. It Is likewise the
party's belief that the sooner the
treaty Is revised the sooner stable
conditions will return to Europe.
Seeks Friendship.
Since the Labor party came into
office, however, = Premier Mac
donald has consistently endeav
ored to bring about closer rela
lions with France and to inculcate
a friendly spirit between the two
countries. French opinion IL
touchy about tampering with the
Versailles treaty, and Macdonald
realizes he must move circum
specify in order to win French
support. Therefore Henderson,
remarks give rise to TN embarras
sing situation for the government
Henderson. however, is not the
only offender. Several secre
taries and undersecretaries, it ii
alleged, have made statements ir
public about matters Of policy
without the approval of the gov
eminent. Macdonald, it is under
stood, is doing his utmost to i'm
press upon his ministers the neeG
for reticence about departmental
and governmental matters and II
emphasizing the difference between
speaking as individuals and as mem
bers Of the government.

IRISH NOVELIST
RAPS MODERN
MARRIAGE
FIapperism All Wrong, Says
Shaw Desmond-FIays
American Divorce.
BY International News Service.

CHICAGO. March Modern
marriage is the worlds greatest
This is the opinion Of Shaw Des-
mond, Irish novelist and lecturer,
expressed in an interview here.
Desmond, author Of Bodies and
Souls" Passions and other works
Is happily married and the father
OF two children.
However, he continued:
The modern marriage Is a con-
slant battle between spiritual and
physical love. 1t can be made a
success; but, Of course, there is no
short cut to paradise. The proper.
ton Of marriages that are unhappy,
passively or actively, is enormous.
The way to make happy marriage
Is to begin with the boys and girls
give children proper education
OF sex and life in clear, beautiful
way. You have to start with chill
dren - adults are hopeless most
men are dead from the neck up after
forty, anyway-they don't think.
Desmond bitterly assailed the
'flapper" as a contr:butory cause
to the failure Of marriage.
"The flapper is all wrong from
her head to her feet" he declared.
IT know your American flapper,
and don't mistake me; I like her
immensely, but she is crazy for ex-
element. She INDUCES in petting
parties-the very rottenest prepare
ton for a happy marriages. But
this condition is a result Of the
misplaced puritanism of fathers and
mothers-this constant formation Of
anti-socities which lead to suppress
sion.
IT do not believe in early mar.
riages," Desmond continued. 81 be-
1ieve man should marry at thirty.
three and a woman between, twenty.
seven and thirty. A woman should
be in the fullness Of her beauty
at forty, but she is usually faded
out.

pronounced views.
