BuIIdOzing Boss
Gets Worst of 1t

st. Louis-Frank Yawitz, an en-
ploying tailor, no doubt will hesitate
hereafter before attempting to bull
doze union pickets during a strike. A
jury has awarded Hyman Hollander
$1,000 damages against Yawitz for
false arrest. Hollander was doing
peaceful picketing in front of va
Wits shop during a strike in 1921.
YaWitz caused his arrest on a charge
of disturbing the peace. The picket
was released and Yawtiz caused his
re-arrest. The jury awarded Holland
er $500 actual and $500 punitive dam
ages. He had sued for $4,000 Five
other suits Of similar character are
pending against Yawitz growing out
of the same strike. This is regarded
as one of the most important labor
cases in st. Louis court history.

New Atty. General
a Morgan Cats Paw
(By Federated Press)

New York-"It might have been
worse. but" This is the consen-
sus of opinion in labor and liberal cir
cles here on the appointment of Har-
Ian Fiske Stone, corporation attor-
ney, as Z. S. attorney general. They
are suspicious Of the official propa-
ganda to palm him off as a liberal" !"
AS cultured gentleman" he can be
counted upon to avoid the crude meth
DDS of Daugherty, which have been
resented as bad form by Stones legal
and business associates in Wall street.
Stone is the same type of liberal
as that other New York lawyer, Sec
retary Hughes, who is credited with
his appointment. The unrestrained
glee expressed by Wall Street and all
the reactionary papers over his ap-
proval by the senate judiciary com
mittee leaves no doubt that Stone is
safe from their point of view.
AS a practicing attorney he has
been the servant of the wealthy IN
terests, long as a member of the Nor
gan firm, Satterlee, Garfield & Stone,
latterly with Sullivan, Cromwell &
Co. He is distinctly one of the cap
italist group, commonly called the in
visible government.
Stone was one of Nicholas Murray
Buffers deans at Columbia univer-
sity. He is a Morgan lawyer, down
town every morning, and "nonparti-
san" professor and boss Of professors
uptown every afternoon.
On the two test issues he has put
himself in the reactionary camp.
Though he proposes tinkering re
forms in the use of injunctions
against labor unions, he upholds the
restraining hand Of the court to pre-
vent Substantial denial of justice"
to the bosses. He opposes abolition
of supreme court dictatorship. He
opposes the elective system for
judges.
AS a class conscious aristocrat his
ideal of the legal profession is a
closed caste: "The deterioration of the
American bar has resulted mainly
from the lowering of the average by
the influx to the bar of greater num-
bers of unfit" Stone says.

MUST DIVIDE

United States Supreme Court UphOlds
Requiring Profit Division

Washington-The Interstate COM
merce commission calls on all rail
roads to make reports on net earnings
in excess of per cent. Under the
Cummins- Esch law the roads must
turn over to the commission one-half
of their profits in excess Of 6 per cent
for the benefit of weaker roads The
other one-half must be held by the
railroad as reserve fund.
Railroads oppose this section of the
transportation act. They carried the
case to the United States supreme
court, which decided against them
The decision is notice to railroads
that their plea against what they
term government interference" is
unavailing. In ruling that public util-
ity profits can be limited, the court
said:
"By investment in a business dedi
Gated to the public service the owner
must recognize that, as compared
with investment in private business,
he can not expect either high OF spec
ulative dividends, but that his Obliga-
ton limits him to only fair or reason
able profits"
The railroads claimed this section
seized their property without due pro
cess of law. To this, the court le-
Piled:
"The statute declares the carrier to
be only a trustee for the excess over
a fair return received by it. Though
in its possession, the excess never be-
comes it's property, and it accepts
custody of the product of all the rates
with this understanding. 1t is clear,
therefore, that the carrier never had
such title to the excess as to render
the recapture Of it by the government
taking without due process"
The effect of this decision is indi-
Gated by a recent review of the finan-
cial status of the Southern Pacific
railroad 1t is shown that for the last
10 years, the earnings average 11.5
per cent, or a surplus Of more than

SPECULATION AT LOW EBB

Review Shows Trade Unsettled,
Due to Uncertainty Over Pend

Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 17.-Speculative
interests in this weeks financial markets
was at low ebb. Stock prices were mod
erately reactionary in reflection of the
unsettled condition of trade and the ur-
certainty regarding the outcome of inn
portant economic legislation pending In
Congress.
Bond prices held relatively firm, with
all of the United States government is
sues touching new high records for the
year The huge plethora of surplus
funds resulted in a further easing or
money rates, which accounted for the
extensive diversion of funds into the in
vestment market. Call loans on the
stock exchange were quoted as low as
8 per cent, with outside loans" avail
able at 2ia, while time loans up TO
ninety days were quoted at per cent a
few short maturities being reported
at 334.
French francs broke sharply follow
ing the news of the Poincare govern
ment's defeat in the national elections,
but stabilized thereafter around 5A
cents. Other rates held relatively steady.
Wall street bankers were inclined to
the belief that the change in French
government was likely to rttard ac-
