Washington, May 20.--Government

former Senator Ball of Delaware, a

government aid, Mr.. Ball said private

lie pointed out that there are near

that more than $4,000 of these en-
plOyes receive less than 81 800,
These people, he said, can not afford
10 pay high rent
Mr.. Ball does not accept the theory
that high wages" Is responsible for
cxorbilant rents. "rhe cost of build
ing in Washington, or rather the
prices asked for buildings recently
constructed, are unreasonably high
he said There Is too great a spread
between what should be a fair cost Of
that building and the selling price,
and all rentals in the city are fixed on
the values placed by the owners or

"This evil influence has spread out
on every hand and corrupted the atti-
tude of the people toward the courts,
the law and the government itself,
Mr.. Wilkerson said.
at is the task of the lawyers OF
today to make amends for past
wrongs in their profession. 1t Is for
them to lead the way in restoration OF
respect for the law and Of demand Tor
the administration of justice.
"The only foundation upon whleh
the administration of justice can be
built is the abiding conviction IN the
minds of the people that their true
welfare is to be served, not by cir
cumventing the law as their whlm or
interest may dictate, nor by tress-
passing upon the rights OF others
through bubbles, technicalties ana
delays, but by the even-handed admin
istration of justice for all"
Attorney General Sargent, in the
course of his remarks, said;
1--WE must not treat the common Ia"
as something mechaicai which can
exist unaltered throughout all time.
We shall fail, and we deserve to ram,
if we do not realize that law must

against the unlawful eviction Of min
ers families from company houses,
and the indiseriminate use Of private
mine guards, are two blows that the
operators feel. Suits for damages
against the operators have been filed
by miners who were evicted without

Nations Measured BY
Recognition of Women

"A nations greatness is Indicated
by the recognition il gives to the
ability, genius and inspiration of its
women" Miss Sophia Malicki, Assis-
tant Director of Public Relations of
the Middle West Utilities Company,
told women students of the School of
Commerce and Business Administra-
ton of the University of Illinois. in
talking before them on the place of
women in industry.
This truth can most aptly be ap-
piled to industry and specifically an
industry which is so closely related 20
the home and housewife as the public
utility industry. On the face of things,
so vast an enterprise must have num-
bers of places for women and an un-
dertaking which does a business of
almost one and one-half billion of
dollars a year--about half of that
service to housewives--it Is reasona-
BILE to conclude does present oppor-
tunities to women.
The very youth and growth of the
public utility industry clothe ii with a
romance. People in it today are
pioneers; they are uncovering new
uses, new conditions and new means.
But yesterday, the electrical industry
lighted string of lamps for novelty;
today it makes of every American
worker an individual of comparative
leisure. Last century's housewife
gave her life to drudgery. Now cleo
tricity frees her to participate in
every world activity.
'The incessant transition from one
level of good living to a higher, de
mands talent, originality and individ-
uality. The character of its service
commends itself to people of ideals,
for while it would be untruthful to say
that these thousands Of people in the
industry are in it only from motives
of altruism. yet its perpetual goal Is
better service no mankind and a hap
pier civilization
