Civil aviators flew between 10 and

CHURCH GETS $4,000
UNDER COURT DECISION
Will Of Samuel H. Wenck, Be-
queathing Sum to First Con-
gregational, Upheld.

The First Congregational Church,
which is attended by President and
Mrs. Coolidge. will benefit to the ex.
tent of $4,000 by a decision OF the
District Court Of Appeals rendered to-
day by Chief Justice George e. Mar
tin. The court upheld the action of
the District Supreme Court in sus-
tanning the will Of Samuel Fl. Wenck,
rs years old, formerly OF Montclair.
n. j., who moved to Washington in
1922 and died at the Annapolis Hotel
September "a, 1925.
Wenck left $4,000 to his sister and,
after other bequests, named the First
Congregational Society Of Washington
as the residuary legatee. The Riggs
National Bank was named as executor
and was represented by Attorney
Frank J. Hogan. A caveat was filed
by a number of nieces and nephews
who had not been mentioned in the
will.
The appellate court finds that
there was no evidence to prove lack
of mental capacity to make valid
will. although made but few months
before the death Of Wenck. He was
a member Of that church, the court
points out, and had given 81 900 to
the church and seemed interested In

Bad Business.
'No matter on what plea or excuse
reduction of wages is bad business and
worse economics. The time has passed
when any industry or employer who
seeks to break down wage scales will
be looked upon by the community as
: shrewd or clever in industry. >
1t is the mutual Willingness of the
worker to produce and the employer
TO pay for production that accounts
in large measure for our present pros
perity. 1t has crowded the home mar
ket with millions of ready consumers
and buyers; it has stocked that mar
ket with an infinite variety of goods
for improving their standard of liv-
ing"
Mr.. Davis declared that the Simple
secret of the national prosperity" in
the maintenance of high production
and high wages had resulted in cessa-
tion of strike activity, and predicted
that this condition would continue.
Never before in the history of
American industry has the country
witnessed such a degree of general
harmony between worker and employ
err" he said. This attitude of mu-
rual respect, good will and partner
ship is growing in the country"
'Lags Behind"
The Labor Department head men,
toned the bituminous coal mining in
dustry 'as one industry that lags be-
hind the others in living up to Ameri-
can standards of organization and
business administration, remarking
on protracted strikes in coal produc-
ton, and suggested that one way out
of that industry's difficulties might be
the alienation of antitrust law pres
sure against business consolidation.
II have observed not a few situa-
tons in which it seemed to me that
consolidation or combination in the
field 70 industry would be of much
benefit to the general public" he said,
after citing the coal industry. Per
hapS a series of corporations with
combined selling agencies would aid
in solving the problems of coal mining.
Such organization of mining, and that
alone, will stabilize production. elm
mate the wastes of overproduction
and make employment and wages con-
tinuouS."
While supporting several recon.
Of the immigration law, the Secretary
asserted that present American re-
strictions give the alien more rights,
more sympathetic consideration, more
actual courtesy and safeguards than
any other country in the world"
He included with his report the
summaries of the activities Of the
various bureaus which make up the
Labor Department.
Mr.. Davis renewed previous recon-
mendations for additional space to
house the constantly enlarging activi
ties of the department. "The erection
of a new Department of Labor Build
ing as soon as possible is again urged"
he said. "The makeshift moves con-
stantly being made in the department
to take care of its steadily increasing
activities do not lend to efficient ad-
ministration. Communication between
the bureaus located outside headquar-
tiers and the administrative offices is
slow and cumbersome, and does not
make for efficiency in the handling Of
the public business. The need for a
new building is vital"
