Cass county, who introduced the
measure, its object is to clarity points
in the method Of procedure in sell
ing property acquired by the county

stop sales of such property at sums
less than the amount Of taxes due.
Senator Charles A. Scamands. Hct.
finger county, stated that he believed
that the measure was unduly dis
eliminating against mortgages. Rusch
said that there is no discrimination
and that it has the approval Of the
tax commission.
Senator c. Patterson, Rcnville
county, attacked the bill with the as
sertion that it is for the benefit Of
trust and loan companies, and added
that he could see no objection to the
present law as it now operates.
That "thc meat Of the bill' is that
it makes the commissioners set min
imum prices on land obtained at tax
y sales was the substance Of state
ments By Senators Ole Ettcstad, Nc

Claims Evidence
Did Not justify
Guilty. Verdict

Errors at law and the contention
that the evidence did not justify a
verdict of guilty were ascribed by
attorneys for Mrs. Grace E. Phil
lips in an argument to the supreme
court yesterday. Mrs. Phillips was
convicted in Foster county in 1924 Of
assault and battery in connection
with beating administered to her
17-year-old daughter, Dolly.
Mrs. Phillips was sentenced to
serve 30 days in Jail. Her attorneys
contended that the evidence did not
show that the punishment of the
girl was too serve or cruel and that
the court erred in permitting cross
examination of certain witnesses.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 29.--
Friends of the Shipstead bill against
injunctions in strikes are beginning
to have fears that its passage is less
favorable than ever.
The executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, directed at
the last convention to call a confer
ence to fight for the bill, will not
meet until January II. At that time
it will gather at Miami, Fla, a win
ter resort, and it's sessions there will
be brief, it is expected, and its leisure
hours pleasant.
1t is not at all likely that the pleas

will be postponed. Consequently I'M
less the hearings before the senate
Judiciary committee are held before
January II, it is likely that they will
have to be postponed until February.
At that time, it is pointed out, the
senate will undoubtedly be busy with
other legislation.

from its chambers when they tried to
impeach him, have won.

in downtown hotel, the senators
after declaring themselves a court of
impeachment, threw out the charges
brought against him by the lower
court.
A feeling that the whole proceed

first magnitude, were bad for bust

and fear of being held in contempt of
court, has had its effect on the SEN

But in another apartment in the
same hotel, the governor, Judge
James r. Armstrong, his principal
adviser, and group of senators who
are friendly to him later held con-
ference and decided definitely that
there would be no declaration Of mar
tial law, tho troops continue to re-
pei the legislature from its cham
bers at the capitol.
For the Sake Of Business"
A spokeman for the governor said;
''The sentiment was unanimous for
taking any course that would get the

Blindness, War Heritage,
Spreads Through World

BECAUSE of the World War the
- blind population has been increased
throughout the United States as we'll
as Europe, not merely the soldiers
who lost their sight as a result of
injuries in battle but because of the
infectious diseases carried home by
the personnel of the armies and ma
vies, babies being born every day suf-
fering from sore eyes.
These facts are embodied in the an
nual report of Lewis H. Carris, man
aging director of the National Com
mittee for the Prevention of Blind
ness, which includes an exhaustive
study Of the danger from an address
by DR.. Park Lewis Of Buffalo, one of
the vice presidents of the Committee.
Diseases Spread.
after the Napoleanic wars" DIR,
Lewis said, when armies were dis
banded and soldiers scattered from
one end of Europe to the other, many
Of them carried infectious diseases
into places where they were never
known before. In that way there was
scattered trachoma, one of the most
devastating diseases of the eyes.
cat the close of the recent World
War the same thing happened with
even more widespread results. The
Arabs, the Chinese and other orien-
tails had come into France with traeh-
omatous eyes and the soldiers of the
Allies had for months been in Syria
and Palestine where hygiene had been
largely unknown. After the arms
tice prisoners released from unsani-
tary surroundings carried infectious
diseases into practically every nation
Of the world.
Cooperation Needed.
Widespread and disastrous as is
trachoma as world problem, it is
but one of many. The venereal dis.
eases, one of the chief menaces tC
sight, require international coopera-
ton of those~ affected through tran.

every bill introduced into the New
Jersey Legislature during the preced-
ing year favorable to labor had been
killed.
The conference is to lay the basis
for militant program which in some
quarters is taken t.; mean final indie
pendent political action as contrasted
with the traditional so-called nom
partisan policy Of the A. F. Of L.
To Fight Old Parties.
The New Jersey legislature is UNI
der the control of the Republican
Party. This party, it is charged by
union officials, has worked entirely
against the interests Of labor in per-
hitting the unchecked use of scores
of injunctions, the use of the police
power against picketing and against
other union activities.
Progressive unionists in comment
ing on the coming conference stated
that they expected to attend and send
delegates wherever possible. At the
same time a certain doubt was ex-
pressed as to what the conference
might accomplish in a state SO thor.
oughly in control of anti-labor forces.
Hope For Labor Party.
"We have no hope for the confer
ence," one union leader stated "if the
attempt is to be made to influence
the corrupt Legislature controlled by
big business interests. If however, al
attempt will be made to organize ,
Labor Party, then the greatest oppor
tunity faces labor.

travellers passing from one country
to another.
Statistics from schools for the blind
throughout the country, Carris said,
indicate that in the last 20 years the
percentage of blind children whose
sight has been destroyed by ophthal-
mia neonatorum has been reduced
from 26.6 to 1919. He reported, how
ever, a slight rise in the percentage
during 1925 and said: "This is prob
ably due to the fact that the schools
for the blind are now receiving the
crop of children who were neglected
during or Immediately after the
World War.
Neglect at Birth.
"In spite of all that has been done
to educate the American public, the
medical profession, mid-wives and
nurses, there is still a considerable
number Of babies under one year of
age in the United States who have
been blinded for life through the ne
glect of a one minute precautionary
measure at birth"
There are still 10 states and ter
ritories of the United States, Carris
said, which have inadequate or no
legislation or regulations for the use
of a prophylactic in the eyes of the
new born. Sixteen states, he said,
have as yet made no provision for the
distribution of a prophylactic to those
who officiate at the birth of a child.
He said the organization has under
way two-fold project for conserving
the sight of school children, project
to promote on nationwide scale
examination of the eyes of pre-school
children for which a new technique
has been demonstrated in So cities
within the last year, project to pro-
mote research into the causes of and
methods for graduating trachoma,

ton with national industrial and pub

ards to sight resulting from the social
