ments. But that has changed. Some
States have enacted laws compelling
outside organizations to post a bond
to guarantee that such children wall
not become public charges. Public
sentiment has OPERATED also to check
the practice. Texas has no bond law
but in the natural course of events
the practice has been largely stopped.
That Organization has not placed over
80 children in Texas in the last -four
years and We have not had one letter
of complaint about any child placed
by it, though we have had complaints
about Texas children placed by Texas
people and Texas agencies. | invest
gated Ii cases in one county-all OF
children placed by the New York or,
ganzation--and on the whole L found

1t Is Mr.. Stockwel's conclusion tha,
Texas needs better laws and that III
main problem is to provide safe
guards for Texas orphans who are
now largely dependent on chance, with
the chances at least 5000 against
them.

Workers Can't Strike,
Saith LOrdly Court

Chicago, June 22.-The federal cir.
cult court of appeals has affirmed an
injunction restraining union electrical
workers from refusing TO work where
non-union electrical workers are en-.
ployed,
The injunction was issued against
the unionists by District Federal
Judge Wilkefson. who signed the
Daughcrty injunction against railroad
shop men. Judge Wilkerson upheld
the plea Of the Western Union tele-
graph company. which objected to
trade unionists walking off the job
when Its non.unionists appeared.
On appeal TO the court of appeals,
the union insisted that the injunction
imposed involuntary seryitude upon
workers in violation of the consiitu-
ton by compelling them to work
against their wishes.
The court of appeals did not accept
this view but proceeded to inform
unionists under what conditions they
may suspend work.
The electrical workers have no right
to strike, said the learned court. be
cause higher wages or improved CON
ditions were not involved, and the only
purpose was "to iujure and annoy the
appellee for the sole reason that the
appellee employed non-uni0n men,
The court overlooked the fact that
the employment Of non-union men has
"A direct bearing on wages and work
ing conditions.
The Western Union telegraph com
pany knows why II employs non
unionists. The court refuses to rec
ognize this fact, but insists that the
electrical workers suspended work
merely to annoy" the company.

please understand that, as thought

assuming to take the position tha

remedy that condition, wherever Il
does exist, is not by arousing add.
tiona antagonism by taking a stand
which would be injurious 90 our white

upon justice for the members OF oui

for all others.
"1f it be true that, as members OF
the Illinois state Legislature, you have
opposed labor legislation because OF
discrimination which has come TO your
attention, we earnestly hope that sou
change your attitude, so that wht'e
you continue to insist upon equality
IN the industrial field, you will AT the

How Orphans Get
Homes I'm Texas

A group of children huddled on
the courthouse steps.
All without parents-little cheer
less bits of human driftwood.
A crowd of men and women
looking them over, sizing them up.
Men and women but slightly less
cherries than the children.
"I'll take that one" says a man.
Come here. youngster," says an
other onlooker to whichever tot
looks fair to him.
So they go. No formality. No
inquiry as to suitability or charac-
ter or economic stability. Children,
picked off the courthouse steps,
like slaves, or sheep, or cattle.
That's the way children may be
and are adopted in Texas.
And about half of them go from
the courthouse steps to the cotton
fields.

LOTS GOING
FAST
Announcement of Price In
creases Has Caused Rush
in Buying

The greatest. buying activity in
the history of Lee Heights was re-
ported this week by Mrs. Ruby Lee
Minar, developer of this subdivision
adjoining the Washington Golf and
Country Club in Arlington county.
va. In excess of $4,000 worth of
lots was sold the last two days OF
August, Mrs. Minar said.
September started at the same
rapid pace, giving promise OF a
sales volume Of 100000 for the
thirty days, a figure probably
breaking all records for the sale
of home sites in or around Wash
ington.
Announcement by Mrs! Minar
that prices on all lots in Lee
Heights, would be advanced 20
per cent September 15, coupled
with the fact that the tremendous
public improvements contemplated
for Arlington county by the State
and National governments have en-
HANGED all property values through
out Arlington county, has been
responsible for the exceptionally
heavy buying which is taking place
in this subdivision.
Considering the rapid upward
trend of values in the county and
the high cost Of installing such i'm
provements as streets, sidewalks,
sewers, gas and electricity" said
Mrs. Minar, ST do not suppose that
Arlington county ever will see
again home sites Of the character
OF those in Lee Heights selling as
low as 20 cents a square foot
There Is no charge or assessment
against the purchaser for these i'm
portant improvements. The cost is
taken, care in the price of the lot,
as low as it is. In recent advertise
ments I gave a notice Of two
weeks that it would be necessary
to advance prices 25 per cent in
order to give ample time to those
who had been considering Lee
Heights as the place for their
future home. Their number was
even greater than / expected. On
one day this week statesmen were
bringing in contracts up to IL
o'clock at night"
Lee Heights is on the Lee High
way two and one-hah miles from
the Key bridge. Consisting of APP
proximately 400 acres, it stretches
from the grounds of the Country
Club eastward to the Potomac
river, a distance of nearly two
miles. It was first placed on the
market by Mrs. Minar in July,
1928, and since that time 1t has
been developed along lines in keep
