Coolidge Gives Approval to Plan
To Stock Tidal Basin With Fish

Recalling his own boyhood an
Cling days, President Coolidge gave
his approval today to the plan to
stock with fish the Tidal Basin
The President was represented as
saying that while he was not very
familiar with the present plan un-
der consideration, he favored any
scheme which would provide rec
reation for the boys, so far as it
met with the approval of those in
charge.
When a youngster the President
did his fishing in the brock run
ming through the meadows on his
fathers farm. Although he later
lived in Boston, he did not follow
up the sport as a man, and for
that reason he associates the game
almost entirely with boys.
In this connection the Executive
has given his Endorsement to the
Junior Achievement movement,

ANT|-STR|KE LAWS
DEAD, LABOR FEELS
Decision Against Compulsory
Arbitration Hailed as Big
gest Victory of Age.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Labor is celebrating today its
greatest legal victory in a generation
the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States that compulsory
arbitration is against the letter and
spirit of the Constitution.
While the case involved an inter
pretation of the Kansas Industrial
Court act, its application is broader
than the destruction of a single
statute. 1t holsters up the viewpoint
of those members of Congress who
have insisted that anti-strike clauses
when inserted in transportation legis-
Ia ton and any other compulsory form
of settling disputes would be declared
invalid by the highest court in the
land.
The Supreme Court lays down the
broad principle that an employer can
not be forced to keep employees al
wages and hours which make 1t i'm
possible for him to operate his busl-
ness as he wishes to, and that EN-
pIoves cannot be compelled to work
if they do not like their hours or
wages of employment in the absence
of a contract. In other words, cap
ital and labor have the same right TO
negotiate agreements or contracts,
the same liberty of action, and neither
can be compelled by law against its
will to submit to conditions regarded
as burdensome.
Long Contended BY Labor.
Labor has all along contended that
compulsory arbitration was viola
ton of the Constitution which guaran-
tees freedom of contract TO every
body, but the Kansas law introduced
the idea that some businesses were
vested with a public interest and that
public necessity" in effect super
seded any other consideration.
The Supreme Court holds that the
packing business was not vested
with such a public character although
preparation of foods affects the
public. The court did not indicate
what business it would regard as a
public necessity. but the language OF
the decision is such that it would be
difficult to imagine any kind of bust
ness that would permit the compul
sorry arbitration principle to be ap
piled. In case of public necessity
the State always has the right 10
pass laws taking over public utilities

SEEKS ADJUSTMENT
 OF RUSSIA'S DEBT
Forms Object Of Statesman to
 French Capital

Paris, March 19.--The object of the visit to Paris of Prof, Preobra- jenski is " to fix reasonable total, if possible" for Russia's pre-war debt to France. the Soviet Ambassador LeonidNrassin. said to Lucien Chas- saigne, foreign editor of Le Journal.
 Tt is not possible for US to recog- nize the debts of the -czarist regime in a mass; Russian public opinion would oppose it," the Soviet ambas- sador declared. "We must find a compromise. l am ready personally to do my utmost.
 "The important thing is to safe guard the interests of all the small bondholders-those who bought at par. First of all there must be an accounting. The total debt must be subjected to reduction on account of the depreciation of the franc and the loss of Polish territories in which the greater part of the borrowed money was sunk in building rail- roads and fortresses.

 The proceedings brought out little yesterday beyond the death-bed evil dence of William Thomas Mills, an aged butler in the Warehouse home. This deposition testified to improper love relations between Warehouse and Lady Wilson Barker. According to Mills the improper relations be- tween Warehouse and Lady Wilson, Barker went on regularly for a de- cade. beginning in 1900. Numerous references were made in the depo- sition of trips made together by Waterhouss and Lady Wilson Bar ker, sometimes in wheel chairs, and of their fondling and calling each other endearing names.
